STAR WARS THE JEDI RESISTANCE(IC)

[New Emphillon]

Master Cosmos had to make a quick stationary barrel roll as the laser fire zoomed past the ship and cockpit. That was close. He thought to himself. He tuned his head around to see who was shooting at him and was surprised at what he saw. He saw Darth Vader piloting his fighter and judging by the continual laser fire he was aiming to kill. Master Cosmos had to shake him or at least damage his fighter long enough for him to escape to his ship or the surface. Since they were both going at top speed if he were to stop dead in space Vader would have to get out of the way or crash. Master Cosmos did just that and Vader came darting past underneath him. Taking the opportunity Master Cosmos began to open fire on Vader from behind.

Much of the frontlines of Droids have been put out of commission by the 501st continual defense of the hangers. However there was still the middle and backlines to deal with. The Super battle droids continued their explosive bombardment of the defensive lines and the standard droids continued to let loose blaster fire on anything moving on the storm troopers side of the hanger.

Onboard the Wraith many of the super battle droid focused on the AT-TE group by open fire on its legs and surrounding troops.

On the surface of Naboo hundreds of LAATs descended from the skies and landed in and around the capitol of Theed. Within minutes of landing the vast amount of rebel troops and battle droids of multiple variants began a massive battle around and within the capitol. Several of the vulture escorts began to search the area for mechanized and armored targets. While this was happening the troops began to spread throughout Theed and rescue the captured citizens from the stormtroopers.

A separate gunship flew away from the battle and landed close to the Gungan Capitol of Otoh Gunga hoping to gain their support.

In space the battle was intensifying with the arrival of Imperial reinforcement. The Lucrehulks began to focus their fire on the small escorts of the star destroyer while the vultures and bombers targeted their weapons armaments and engines. They hoped to take out the smaller vessels so they could focus on the bull that was currently charging at them.

A single vulture being chased by two TIE fighters crashes into the bridge of the last Imperial Venator causing a massive explosion with a shockwave running through the ship.

Vader rolled his starfighter away from Master Cosmos's laser fire and pushed for the escort ships. That's when Vader saw the fighters and bombers go for the first of the escorts. Their concentrated fire managed to severely damage a CR90 corvette that was too focused on the fighters in front of it. He gunned for the droid squadrons and attempted to aid the escorts. It wouldn't do if he lost them, since the fleet would be overwhelmed by the droid squadrons. It would also prove as good cover to gain the upper hand against the Jedi pilot.
The escorts weren't completely useless against the inbound fighters. They turned around to face the enemy droids and fired with everything they had. The Carrack cruisers' ion cannons managed to shutdown several droids just before they were destroyed by the cruisers' laser cannons.
The Star Destroyers took the reprieve from the droid onslaught to combat the enemy capital ships. The Wraith broke formation to join the new Star Destroyer Goliath in the destruction of the Lucrehulk battleships' communication arrays. With everything it had, the Wraith fired all of its turbolaser batteries and laser cannons at the large vessels, giving each shot every bit of spare energy the ship had. Meanwhile, the Devastator and the Behemoth continued their bombardment of the Bulwark battlecruiser, the turbolaser fire cutting right into the hull of the ship. After a few salvos of concentrated fire, the hull of the battlecruiser began to buckle under the intense firepower and one shot was lucky enough to destroy the Bulwark's command bridge. This resulted in the ship's listing towards the planet, ramming into a Recusant destroyer that had the misfortune to be underneath the doomed vessel. Escape pods and remaining fighters were ejected from the ships and the surrounding vessels tried to capture all of them with their tractor beams. Captain Bolvan sighed in relief. It was the second capital ship casualty on the Rebel's side and it was nice to take that threat out of action. That being done, the two Star Destroyers joined their sister ships in the destruction of the Lucrehulks.
The stormtroopers in the hangars were running out of options. Nothing seemed to stop the droids. All they could do now was hold out for as long as they can. Onboard the Wraith, the AT-TE buckled underneath the heavy firepower, but the walker didn't need to walk for it to be effective. The remaining stormtroopers used the downed walker as cover, while the turrets still firing into the army of droids.

The Aquitan Cruiser lowered over Theed and targeted all enemy locations. Diamond Boron missiles and laser turrets targeted enemy locations, and Master Deno continued to hold up the structual integrity off the Royal Palace. 50 Senate gaurds lowered to the city in 5 LAAT's and made way to hold the Palace.

Master Dy'lan leaped out and landed on the ground in Theed sending out a devistating blow. He used the force to soften his landing, but also forced out, knocking over dozens of troopers around him. He then drew his saber and ignited its aqua blue blade. He began slicing through stormtroopers to reach the Palace.

The stormtroopers were taken by surprise at the size of the rebel force, but they were prepared. Laser fire began to light up the sky as ground emplacements fired at the large swarm of gunships and fighters. Any armored units were diverted back to the city to combat the rebel forces. AT-TEs, TX-130 hovertanks, HAVT-5 Juggernaught tanks, and AT-STs were among those units. The Empire was not about to be challenged and lose to rebels. One way or another, the Empire will win the battle for Naboo.
The stormtroopers around the palace fired at the Jedi that dared to challenge them, though with little avail.

OOC: I'll post the space battle part later. I'll edit this post to add it.
On the surface the rebels quickly (though with much resistance) spread throughout the capitol like a mob freeing the imprisoned citizens of Theed. They were told either to find cover, leave the city until further notice, or join the forces that were swarming through the city. Else ware in the city the troops were steadily advancing toward the Royal Palace where the Queen and hopefully the Jedi are. Escorting them overhead are multiple Vultures that are continually firing at armored and motorized Imperial vehicles that were entering the city. Many gunships after dropping of their troops were destroyed as they rose to the sky but multiple bombers were carpet bombing Imperial emplacements hoping to stop the anti-air fire.

A message Is sent to the Naboo Royal Guard telling them to hold tight.

In space the vultures were dogfighting the TIE fighters of the fourth star destroyer as the fighters of the previous three ships have already been dealt with. The Lucrehulks continued to move back as they let loose barrage of laser fire from their weapons armaments. They were taking a good amount of damage but they were able deal it back to the Imperials as they were moving. With Darth Vader busy going after his vultures Master Cosmos took the opportunity to go after a few TIE fighters that caught his eye. He tore through the belly of one, fired a torpedo into the cockpit of another, and peppered the hull of one TIE with holes that seconds later engulfed his fighter in flames. Eventually after gathering a significant number of starfighter kills he turned his attention to the Star destroyers. He had to buy time for the fleet and ground forces so he went for it. He dodged the defensive fire from the Wraith and went straight for the bridge. He fired two torpedoes into the side view port then flew straight in front of it. Making sure he was close he let loose a barrage of laser fire lasting about 15 seconds before he had to make a quick maneuver to avoid the shots of two TIE's. He shook them off as a have dozen vultures came in behind them and opened fire. He then proceeded to the nearest star destroyer to attempt to do that again.

Within the hangers the droids were beginning to push forward but at a very slow pace. The first line of droids have nearly been depleted so the remnants of the front merged with the secondary line as they pushed forward into the hanger. Now that a fresh wave of droids were up they let loose a full barrage of explosives and blaster fire on the 501st hoping to thin their ranks some more.

The crew of the Wraith flinched at the missiles hitting the bridge. However, the shield generators were still giving enough power to prevent a breach in the bridge's viewport, much to the relief of the captain and the crew. The vessel, along with its sister Star Destroyers and escorts, continued to bombard the enemy Lucrehulks. The last two Munificent frigates Krass had proceeded to fire on the Behemoth, but were stopped short by the warship's heavy turbolaser turrets, which cut through the first vessel after the first volley. The last Munificent fired its own turbolaser cannon and scored a direct hit on one of the turrets, putting it out of commission. The Behemoth retaliated with another barrage from its turbolasers and the frigate met its end. The last threat of the enemy fleet was the Lucrehulks, as the Providence carrier and its fighter escorts retreated from the battle, utterly defeated. In reality, the vessel was going to get help and deliver the wounded it had. The escort ships continued to provide a decent anti-fighter screen for the larger warships and were scoring many kills.
After destroying several droid fighters, Vader saw the Jedi starfighter again and raced for it. This time, Vader was not about to let the Jedi escape. He charged his fighter's ion cannons and fired as soon as they were charged. One of the shots missed, but the other was on target. The fighter's shields should at least be down, Vader estimated. He could sense some panic coming from the fighter, probably more surprise. Vader squeezed his thumbs on the control yokes and his laser cannons spat their projectiles at the Jedi fighter. Vader was not about to let the Jedi escape.
After standing their ground for a while, the stormtroopers had to call retreat towards the rear of the hangars. There was simply to many droids to handle at once. It didn't mean they were going to give up. The 501st troopers regrouped and gathered all of the equipment that they could salvage and let loose on the droids, hitting them with E-WEB blasters, EMP grenades, and anything else the troopers had. As the troopers fought for their lives, the captain of the Devastator had an idea. The droid transports were sitting in the hangars, but they were partially exposed to the turbolaser cannon built into the hangar for orbital bombardment. It was a long shot, but it was the best he could do for the soldiers in the hangar. He gave the order and the turbolaser was fired, decimating the exposed portions of the droid transports and possibly disrupting the flow of droids. However, Bolvan knew the only way to do that was to destroy the communications arrays on the battleships and it appeared the Imperials were close to achieving that goal.
On the ground, Imperial forces were pushed away from the palace, but they were not going to let the Queen escape. A few AT-TEs and some TX-130 hovertanks were brought to aid in the retaking of the palace grounds, preventing any sort of escape for the Queen and her "saviors". The anti-aircraft turrets took losses from the bombings, but the few that still remained worked that much harder to annihilate the air forces in clogging the sky. A few AT-AA walkers were brought in from the reserve forces to help handle the situation, and they quickly filled the sky with flack to destroy the enemy transports and fighters. These vehicles were heavily guarded by troopers and a few AT-PTs. The Empire was not about to lose this fight, especially not the 501st Legion. They had a record to uphold.

The Endeavor took little damage from any attacks, and moved over enemy forces and continued to fire. Master Dy'lan reached the palace and looked out at the enemy forces. Luckily Master Deno still covered the Palace in the force. The jedi on the planet were quickly recovered from the buildings top floor, and all 6 of the Jedi Kinghts were brought to an important council with the queen.
The queen spoke.
"We need to act now. We need more forces on the ground to take back the city in full. We have control over the rebel forces at Yavin 4 built by Master Deno. I have summoned 6 of the Aquitan Cruisers to return. They will prepare a full counter offensive on the Star Destroyer of Darth Vader."
Master Dy'lan responded.
"Be careful my Queen, for Vader will learn of the forces at Yavin 4. We must bring them in the long way. We can hold out until they get here, but i think we made need to make a escape."
The queen was astonished.
"I will not leave my people! Their fate will be mine as well!"
"If we do not leave we all will die! We are not soldiers, we are peacekeepers!"

The queen still refused to leave the planet, so Master Dy'lan calmed himself.
''Forgive my rudeness. I must inform my fellow jedi."

He left the room and contacted the other jedi.
"I have found 6 Jedi Knights here. Thats good, but the queen refuses to leave if needed.Im afraid i have hit a brick wall. I do not want to force her to leave as it is not our way, but she is to important to allow her to fall."

Krass received the message as the rest of his fleet prepared to move into attack formations. He was unsure as to why his battle meditation was failing. It was as if the Force was rebelling against Master Udelles's commands and siding with the Sith. It was quite odd and sad.
"I cannot keep my battle meditation going," Krass stated. "It appears the Force is simply rebelling against my commands and has decided to aid our enemy. I have never felt anything like it."
"And I'm afraid we are going to have to leave soon," Commander Dev added. "We're picking up Imperial comm chatter that says something about reinforcements for the system. It looks like the Empire is desperate to kill the Queen."
Krass thought about that for a moment. Evacuation would take long enough, but the Queen of Naboo simply refused to leave the planet and her people. There was no way a planet-wide evacuation could be done with the ships and time the Jedi had. Another Imperial force would arrive at Naboo soon, and the Jedi were running out of time.
"I'm afraid the only thing we can do now is retreat," Krass stated. "We could hold off the Imperial forces now, but I know that they will come back, and in greater numbers." Krass noted that his fleet was ready to jump to the planet.
"I'm bringing the rest of my forces to the planet now. We need to evacuate immediately or this whole mission would be for naught. We must hurry." The transmission ended there, as Krass's forces leapt into hyperspace, bound for Naboo.

After several hours, Master Deno began to worry his force shield would fail. In order to protect the Galaxy, Master Dy'lan, as head of the jedi order, decided it was needed to take tthe queen at least out of theed. His forces began falling back to the Aquitan Light Cruiser named the Endeavor and Master Dy'Lan and the 6 other Jedi took the queen out of the city and quickly brought her to the Gungans to hide her. Dy'lan had no choice, for the Queen was not thinking clearly. He updated all the other masters of the events and stated he is retreating now. The queen is safe and he will evac as many civilians as possible.

Dy'lan had no choice, for the Queen was not thinking clearly. He updated all the other masters of the events and stated he is retreating now. The queen is safe and he will evac as many civilians as possible.

With the Queen now in safety the rebels now focused on the Imperial troops in the city and the people. Several groups began to take up positions in important sites and strategic location. Units began to escort large groups of Refugees through the city border into more safe environment. Bombing of Imperial emplacements and positions continued while this was happening. The vultures overhead provided a distraction from the gunships and also stopped anything hostile getting to close to the ground forces. The remainder of the force continued to fan out throughout the city engaging in heavy fighting in multiple areas. Multiple vultures were shot down AT-AAs but when they did they were preprogrammed to kamikaze into enemy positions if possible.

In space the vultures continued to thin out the amount of TIE fighters and weapons armaments on the star destroyers. Strafing and targeting of critical systems continued. Master Cosmos braced for impact as the ion shot met the hull. A second later he checked the shields that were flickering on and off on the verge of shutting down completely. If Vader got another good shot in his Delta could be put out of the fight or even destroyed. Master Cosmos didn't like either outcome. He dodged weapons fire from both Vader and TIE fighters as he zoomed throughout the field of battle. He went straight for the bridge of another star destroyer hoping that the anti-fighter guns would effect Darth Vader in someway. Meanwhile the Lucrehulks shields shook as the Imperial vessels continued their barrage of laser fire. The Lucrehulks responded by firing their own weapons compliments and sending the vultures after the smaller escorts. Vulture fire impacted on nearly every escort of the star destroyers.

A majority of the droids inside the targeted transports went up in flames just like the ships they were on. The droids fighting however where unfazed and continued their relentless attack and advance on the 501st. The surviving transports in the back half of the group suddenly lifted off and adjusted their height so they could overlook the hanger. They let loose a long volley of shots against the turbolasers and stormtrooper positions. Onboard one of the ships a heavily damaged transport crashed itself into the other end of the hanger on top of a imperial position. As the dust settled on the other side of all three hangers the droids were oven permission to charge. Their fleet clanked and blaster fire rang out as they did.

Onboard one of the ships a heavily damaged transport crashed itself into the other end of the hanger on top of a imperial position. As the dust settled on the other side of all three hangers the droids were oven permission to charge. Their fleet clanked and blaster fire rang out as they did.

The turbolaser fire from the Lucrehulks drained the shields for the Behemoth, causing the captain to worry. He ordered for the ship to divert the spare power to the shields, though it would take a minute to divert the power to the proper locations. Despite this resistance, the Star Destroyers continued to fire at the communications arrays. Finally, the Goliath reported the destruction of one Lucrehulk's communication array. The loss would help in the long run. The rest of the Star Destroyers continued to achieve the disabling of the droid forces in the system.

Vader continued to fire at the Jedi starfighter, not willing to let the Jedi get away. His opponent's skills were quite impressive, but Vader had faced similar skills when he faced off with Asajj Ventress during the Clone Wars. Every time the Jedi swerved to one side, Vader did the same. The Jedi was not going to shake Vader away that easily. He noticed that the Jedi was making a brake for the Behemoth's command deck and though Vader wouldn't mind the deaths of the crew, a Star Destroyer was a Star Destroyer. He charged his ion cannons again for another attack.

The stormtroopers that were caught in the transport crash were instantly killed by the hulking metal and the resulting firestorm. The 501st finally had to leave the hangars. At least in the confined hallways of the ship, the droids could easily be picked off with fewer casualties to the stormtroopers. Any available personnel were also ordered to help in the repelling of the droids. The troopers were not going to lose these Star Destroyers. In the short time they had, the troopers gathered all of the ammunition they could carry, set up a few traps and took a few E-WEB blasters to cover the main hallways and lifts. If the droids thought they had a tough time before, they were in for a big surprise.

On the ground, the Imperial forces began to notice the rebels' retreat and took advantage of it, firing at the fleeing soldiers before they could take shelter inside the local buildings. Some of the troopers saw the rebels leading large masses of civilians towards transports and requested permission to fire. The response caused the troopers to raise their eyebrows.
"Of course you can fire. They are all rebels! Kill each and every one of them."
Shrugging, the troopers did as ordered and began to fire, not picking any specific targets. The armored units were given the same orders and when they came across a civilian or several of them, they unleashed their weapons on the innocents. At the palace, the Imperials gave their all to take the grounds and the building itself, completely unaware that the Queen was gone. Some officers took notice to the Aquitan frigate above the city and ordered for it to be brought down. The AT-AAs didn't have the firepower to fulfill the request, but some AT-TEs fired their main guns at the vessel to see if that had any effect, though the kamikaze droid fighters prevented the walkers from staying in one place for too long, so the concentration of fire onto the vessel was pretty weak. Overall, it appeared that the Empire was going to achieve victory and give the galaxy its first example of Imperial force.

Master Cosmos had barely enough time to maneuver his craft away from the shot as it came darting past an hitting an unfortunate vulture. He however was only mildly better then when he started. Vader was still coming in dangerously close to his rear and the weapons armaments of the star destroyer continued to come at his starfighter. Luckily however the vultures kept the TIE's a good distance away destroying them if necessary. Nonetheless he continued towards his objective and ordered up a group of vultures to his command. From different angles vultures began to open fire on the bridge while bombers that were close by let loose their payloads. The starfighters quickly backed off as Master Cosmos soared starfight towards it letting loose a salvo of laser fire then a three torpedoes at the bridge. He fired a few more shots as he turned away from the Ship and continued towards the third. He didn't turn around to see the damage as he knew the only thing he'll be seeing is the shape of Darth Vaders starfighter coming straight for him.

The Lucrehulks continued their fire as the star destroyers closed in on them. The communications were just transferred to the flagship before the array went up. The ships shook as the bombardment of the imperials hit their hulls. Thankfully though the shields were still fairly intact. The escorts were still being swarmed by vultures with most targets being the engines, bridges, and guns. Vultures continued to attack the star destroyers with some going straight for exposed systems if any. Vultures continued to dogfight with the remaining TIE's all across the battlefield.

Planetside the fighting only intensified as the civilians were being targeted by the Imperials. Vultures and bombers continued to fire upon and destroy armored units, imperial emplacements and stormtroopers where ever they could. Civilians began to take cover as the shots came at them. Troops on the ground seeing such actions against the noncombatants felt renewed strength as they did battle with the imperials. Several areas of the city were filled with smoke and flames as the rebels and imperials fought heavily with one another. Mmebers of the royal guard found amongst the people were helping in finding alternate means of escaping the city. Meanwhile at the palace fighting continued as the troops began to rush towards the palace and the imperials surrounding it. Kamikaze attacks by heavily damaged vultures continues.

Meanwhile the star destroyers hallways became filled with droid parts and the bodies of dead stormtroopers. The droids were advancing although slowly they were taking down every stormtrooper they could see. The droids that were falling apart from the battle of the hangers walked forward first to trip the traps. Super battle droids fired explosive shots into the hallways causing temporary infernos on the other end.

The droids that were falling apart from the battle of the hangers walked forward first to trip the traps. Super battle droids fired explosive shots into the hallways causing temporary infernos on the other end.

The captain of the Behemoth saw the missiles coming at the bridge and turned to the crew pits.
"Intensify forward firepower," he yelled.
"Too late," his second-in-command replied. Both men leaped for the crew pits, thinking for the remaining seconds of consciousness that the move would save their lives. It didn't. The shields had been diverted where the system thought it was necessary and the bridge's shields had weakened due to the continuous fire from the Lucrehulks. The vessel began to drift in space, all other systems still running, but only for a short time. It was the first "kill" of a Star Destroyer in galactic history.

The stormtroopers aboard the Behemoth felt the vessel begin to lurch and wondered what had happened, at least until the battle droids continued their onslaught. Shaking off their shock, the stormtroopers returned to their task and hit the droids with everything they had. On the other Star Destroyers, it was much the same thing. The stormtroopers were taking less losses than before, but they were still losing comrades, mainly from the Super Battle Droids' rockets. The battle for the Star Destroyers continued to wage on.

As Vader came around the command tower of the doomed Behemoth, he saw a new fleet materialize behind the Imperial forces. At first, it was just the usual Separatist starships, including some Bulwark battlecruisers. Then it quickly changed to three large starships that looked ancient, and finally the largest vessel Vader had ever seen. He didn't recognize the design, but he did see the Old Republic Navy symbol on the vessel's side and guessed the ship was 4,000 years old. He shook off that thought as the fleet began to fire on the Imperial Star Destroyers, hitting their rears and depleting the last remains of the shields on the vessels. He continued to target the Jedi starfighter, undaunted by the show of force.

Krass was surprised by the mess four Star Destroyers had caused. He had heard rumors of a new star destroyer design that was being produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the end of the Clone Wars, but he never saw them in action. Well aside from Rhen Var, but he never got to see what kind of damage the warships could cause. Krass opened up comm channels to Master Cosmos and Master Dy'lan while Commander Dev ordered for fighter squardons 1-12 to launch into space for fleet defense. As the vessels entered realspace over the planet, Krass had sensed the dark imprint in the Force and knew who it was.
"He's here," Celeste whispered coldly.
"We won't be for long," Krass replied as the comm channels were established.
"Master Dy'lan! Master Cosmos! This is Master Udelles. I've brought the rest of my fleet to provide cover for your forces, but we need to evacuate quickly! What are your statuses," Krass asked through the comm.

[Pantorrum]

Master Dy'lan quickly replied.
"I've lost 35 senate gaurds and have rescued the 6 Jedi Knights. We are onboard the Endeavor( an aquitan cruiser) with almost 900 rescued civilians. We area all full up and are making way for our retreat."
Master Dy'lan then contacted Master Cosmos.
"My ship is over Theed. We are all full up but we have room for you if you need evacuation."The ship readied for the jump and set the coordinates. If needed, they would pick up Master Cosmos then leeave the gravity well and jump to Tython.

Endeavor
Aquitan Light Cruiser
Command deck
Captain Yolara stood and staired at the ships 2 pilots and 8 deck crewman as they waited orders to move out. All were aboard except Master Cosmos. Captain Yolara made a conscious decision, he knew more ships were needed to complete the evacuation of Theed. He contacted Tython.
"This is Captain Yolara onboard the Endeavor. We need 5 Republic Frigates to finish the evacuation. We need them now! Rush their crews and get them here in 30 minutes or the evacuation will fail!"
Admiral Freeman responded with calm.
"We will ruch the frigates. Expect them in 40 minutes, we can't do thirty."

Master Dy'lan would have to wait for the frigates if he hoped to save 10,000 more people.

[New Emphillon]

Krass knew the evacuation was going to take a while and that many vessels were going to be needed. The Pride of the Republic still had plenty of room for at least a few thousand occupants. The rest of the ships would have a little room, though not a lot. It would at least quicken the evacutation.
"All transports, this is Master Udelles," he said over the comm. "You are ordered to launch to the city of Theed and aide in the evacuation. Bring all of the refugees back to the Pride. Be cautious going near the city as there may be enemy anti-aircraft fire. May the Force be with you."
The transports were launched within minutes of the order being given. Hundreds of LAATs and Droid Transports were brought to the surface to aid in the evacuation efforts. As the transports raced for the surface, Dev spotted the new Imperial reinforcements come out of hyperspace on the other side of the battle. Two Imperial Star Destroyers came out first, followed by several more Carrack cruisers, three Venator Star Destroyers, and finally...
"Oh, feirfeck," Dev cursed. "That's a Praetor battlecruiser!"
Krass saw that the commader was right. The distinct T-shaped command tower and the large size of the ship did indeed identify as a Praetor. The class was very few in numbers, generally being seen in the far Outer Rim to combat fortified Separatist worlds, usually with some escorts or alone. Its firepower easily outmatched that of the three Star Destroyers originally over the planet.
"We can't stay here for long with that thing being here," Dev said as the new arrivals began to deploy their fighter squadrons.
"Agreed, but we can't leave the ground forces behind," Krass pointed out.
"We won't last long against that thing."
"The Pride is easily twelve times that ship's size, commander. We can hold out for now."
Dev merely sighed. "If you say so, sir."
Krass, like Dev, wished the evacuation wouldn't take too long. Dev was right: the fleet wouldn't last very long against the battlecruiser that sat before it.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

The crews cheered as one of the star destroyers were put out of the fight. However this cheer quickly silenced as they remembered where they were and what just came out of hyperspace. Since they no longer had to focus on the Behemoth they redirected their fire on to the remaining star destroyers. Their shields continued to take damage from the remaining escorts and destroyers. The vultures that were prying on the ship now added on to the other swarms of vultures on the remaining ships. Onboard the flagship the reactivation signal of the vultures offline from early during the battle was about to be sent. Vultures and bombers alike were now performing the same strategy on the other vessels hoping to gain the same results. The TIE's that were left quickly were being taken down by the massive clouds of vultures. Several vultures however were destroyed as this happened.

Master Cosmos responded by saying," I'm down a lucrehulk, one of my ships has lost their array, my ground forces are engaged in heavy fighting on the surface, most of my starfighters are still flying, and my droids are currently trying to take down the star destroyers from the inside out." At that moment he veered to his right as a salvo of red came flashing through where his cockpit just was. "and Vader is frighteningly closing on me." He then spoke to Master Dy'lan I might not be able to return to my ship considering the amount of fighting behind me. I may have to make a mad dash towards your hanger." H continued to bob and weave through attacks from Vader, TIE's and vessels alike.

Meanwhile in the Imperial ships the droids were continuing to fight hallway to hallway skirmishes with the 501st. On the Behemoth the critical systems were being redirected to a control terminal in the hanger. They already had control of life support and if needed they would vent the oxygen from the ship. Soon they would have control over the remaining guns, engines and communications. Several of the droids heading for the bridge stopped and instead went to reinforce the force heading for the engines.

On the surface the ground forces were now guarding the droves of civilians heading for the gunships of the Jedi. Bombers and vultures kept the anti-air emplacements and armored units busy as this happened. Rebels continued to fire on the storm troopers attempting to reach them. Some vultures and bombers took up positions near evacuation zones and defended from the encroaching imperials. They were taking losses but soon enough they would be leaving.

"Understood, Master Cosmos," Krass called. "I'll see if I can't help you with your friend." He briefly switched the channel to the combat frequency of the fleet.
"Squadrons 1-4, break off from the fleet and aid Master Cosmos," he ordered. He saw the arrows indicating the squadrons flash on the holopad. Krass then returned his attention to the new Imperial arrivals.
Squadrons 1 through 4 consisted of Saboath fighters and the Pride's complement of S-100 Sabre fighter craft. Each squadron held 6 fighters each and they were not push overs like Vulture droids. The fighters found Master Cosmos's fighter and then spotted Vader just a short distance behind, followed by a few V-wings that had managed to get through the swarm of droid fighters that were between the two fleets. The squadron leaders gave out their orders and the fighters responded. Squadron 2 would take care of Vader, while Squadrons 1, 3 and 4 would take care of the Vader's escorts and prevent his escape. The fighters got to work and the Saboath fighters of Squadron 2 began to fire on Vader's interceptor as his escorts bursted into flames.

Vader grunted as his fighter took a direct hit. His R4 unit began to chirp rapidly, indicating that the shields were pretty drained and Vader should think about evasive actions. He looked at the fighter before him and then thought about his odds. He wasn't facing off against droid fighters this time. These were living pilots, better than droids in a space battle. Vader also noticed the numbers surrounding him and knew better than to stick around any longer. You live this day, Jedi, Vader grumbled. He broke off and made his way towards the Devastator, blasting through a Saboath fighter that had the luck to be in front of the Dark Lord's path. Squadron 3 tried to pursue Vader, but the squadron leader thought against it and ordered the fighters to help escort the Jedi Master to the Pride for repairs and rest.

LAATs squeezed their way onto the Behemoth and began to evacuate the former Imperial crew. Each soldier was checked for any tracking devices before being allowed onto the transports. The crew had voluntarily surrendered after learning of their ship's fate and decided that death was not a viable option. The bodies of the fallen were taken, mainly out of curtesy. That evacuation wouldn't take as long as the ground operation, but it would still require a fair amount of time.

On the ground, the Imperial forces continued to hit every rebel they came across. To them, it appeared that they were winning the fight for the planet. The main objectives now were the landing zones the rebels were using for their evacuation efforts. Some armor was directed to the LZs and helped the infantry try to break through, but the 501st was surprised to see the fresh wave of hundreds of gunships and a few landing craft arrive to aid the evacuation. The forces tried their best at shooting down the craft, but the AA batteries and the AT-AAs were too overwhelmed with the Vulture droids in the sky. A couple AT-STs amongst the armor group were cut down by the LAATs' laser turrets and the infantry were forced to either go prone or find some kind of cover. All the while, the 501st continued to creep forward, inch by inch. In the city, the clone legion was surrounding the few pockets of resistance left and they tried to keep these pockets split off from the LZs to prevent escape. It was going to be another victory for the 501st.

[Vortukia]

Vessel: 514

Greyson dropped down from a vent behind two stormtroopers, he silenced his landing as to not stir the sleeping ship
or patrolling pair in front of him.
His sabers were at his hip, and rifle on his back as he slowly walked towards the two men, if you could call them that.

Why was he on this ship in the first place? Well it might hold a lead to his next move or maybe help him
link up with other Jedi. Although he didn't really see himself as a Jedi anymore he will always remember
his masters teaching, if only he was strong enough to save him.

Greyson took his two sabers out and walked up behind the stormtroopers and pressed his sabers into their
backs, this prompted them to shoot around only to have Greyson activate the sabers impaling them on the
lasers. He switched them off letting them fall to the ground.

He continued walking forward to the captains cabin. He walked up the the door and used his force
to break it open and send it flying across the room, this revealed a very startled captain in uniform
his blaster was to far across the room. The Captain may be trained, but he wasn't stupid he knew he
wouldn't reach it.

Greyson walked up and took his saber and activated it millimeters away from the Captains neck, it's
heat warming his neck.

In a emotionless tone Greyson told the Captain.
"You are going to tell me everything you know about the escaped Jedi, and you are going to do it
fast or else you are going to end up like the several patrols on your ship."-"Got it?"

The Captain gulped...

[The United Empire of Exucular]

The Lucrehulks continued to pound on the shields and hulls of the remaining imperial vessels. They continued to move backwards in an attempt to escape the shots being fired at them. A group of vultures opened fire on the engines of a severely weakened CR90 corvette causing the engines to fail and stop entirely. The vultures proceeded to swarm it like bees near their beehives. Within minutes the corvette and several destroyed vultures floated lifelessly away from the battle. Master Cosmos ordered three damaged vulture into hyperspace for an unknown reason. Several Vultures went down to the planets service to reinforce the Ariel forces already there. The space battle still raged as both sides continued to attempt to annihilate the other. Master Cosmos felt some relieve now that Lord Vader was off him. He was thankful that squadron 3 was escorting him towards the Pride. His time within the battle was about to end but he still had to lead his forces to safety once he reached the hanger. He took down 2 TIE fighters along the way to the hanger.

On the Behemoth several Engineers and Technicians were flown into the hanger to redirect the controls of the ship. Since the imperials surrendered the specialists made their way quickly towards the engines. Several minutes later upon arrival they began to work on taking control of the engines and navigation. Several imperial crewmembers that were not entirely loyal to the Emperor helped them with their expertise on the systems. Meanwhile on the other star destroyers fighting still continued throughout the halls and rooms all throughout the ships. Blaster marks and charred metal litter the passageways as well as the parts of droids and stormtrooper bodies. Their main focus was making towards the engines and bridge.

On the planet the rebels continued to hold of the mass of imperials coming for the landing zones. Those within the city were ordered to fight their way out to landing zones and LAAt's for evacuation. The vultures, bombers, and gunships that brought the rebels to the city were either helping in the evacuation or keeping the imeperials busy as the evacuations continued. The bombers doubled their efforts in getting rid off the final emplacements of AA-guns and emplacements.

[Vortukia]

He was on the vessel 514 a little over an hour ago, he had to take an escape pod out because the engines 'malfunctioned' after a flood of stormtroopers tried to apprehend him.

He was now on a war torn unidentified planet, torn from long rebel war this was also where his master was killed, he had something special with his master more than just a mentorship. They were brothers in arms, and they would be even in death. He was standing on a beach in front of a lotus tree that had a picture of a old man on the front of it... Master Adam Solus. He was a master, a brother, and a friend of Greyson. He just wished he was strong enough to save him and his family.

Greyson was holding a pair of holo tags of Solus, as per request when one of them died. The holo tags would be cast out as a sign of moving on, in order to not let emotion hold them back. He looked at the water, it looked so perfect and blue aside from all the war this planet had seen. He looked at the holo tags one last time then cast them out into the war where they splashed and sunk down into the bottom of the lake, forever lost to the sands of time now. Greyson looked back at the picture the face of the man who was like a father to him where there was none, the man who helped him find his wife and told his son to get to safety and gave his own life in the process saving him and Greyson.

"You will never be forgotten old man." Greyson said.

He walked back to the escape pod and activated a distress beacon, hoping someone friendly would find him first, until then he would meditate on his next move.

In his meditation, he mediated about his lost family, his mentor, and where his son might be. He also meditated about the emperor, and all the ways he was going to kill him for what he as done to him, the Jedi, his family and the republic. If it was even still a republic.
He was going to fight the Emperor, and gut his empire from the inside out.

The battle in space was coming to its climax as the new Imperial fleet finally joined the fight. The Praetor battlecruiser unleashed its massive armament of turbolasers and ion cannons on the Lucrehulks and the escorts for the Pride of the Republic. The Star Destroyers were finally relieved of the burden and began to break off, their retreat covered by the Carrack cruisers. Several droid fighters that tried to follow were destroyed by the laser cannon fire from the cruisers. The Imperial plan was still a work in progress: all it accounted for was to try and block the evacuation forces from getting to the ships and either disabling or destroying the rebel starships in orbit. The Imperial forces were trying to rally to fulfill the plan, but Krass tried to use hi battle meditation to keep the Imperial forces at bay for just a while longer.

The last of the Imperial crew that was not essential to the Behemoth's operation were brought aboard the LAATs and brought to the Pride. The operation had been a success.

Dev took note of a distress beacon not too far from the system and asked for the navigation officer to mark it on the navigation charts for future investigation. He then returned his attention to the battle taking place above the planet.

The evacuation transports filled up quickly and soon 36% of Krass's transports were brought aboard their parent ships to drop off their loads of civilians. The rest of the transports were waiting for the remaining refugees to board them. Meanwhile, the Imperial forces in the city of Theed began to have a problem holding back the pockets of resistance. More firepower was going to be needed to keep them at bay. That request was answered, as Imperial transports and gunships came out of the darkened sky and dropped off their cargo and soldiers. The Imperial forces finally got what they needed: artillery and more AA weapons. SPHA-T artillery walkers marched away from their carriers and took up positions just outside of the city to destroy any transport that attemtped escape. One SPHA-T walker was ordered to attack the Aquitan frigate over the city, which it quickly obeyed. These pieces were protected by infantry with AA rockets and rifles to defend against gorund attacks. Some AT-STs were placed near the artillery as well, to protect it from any enemy armor. There was no need to repeat the mistake that costed the Republic its artillery during the Battle of Muunilist. The gunships helped to provide air support for the soldiers inside the city. The rebels were really in for it now.

[Vortukia]

Greyson was done meditating and he was now doing pull ups on a bar of the broken escape pod, if he was going to be here
he was at least going to improve himself while here. After done he eventually began become bored. He walked over to the
inside of his escape pod and started to rip out wires and chips from the panels and items out of the storage boxes. There was
a lot of high grade Storm Trooper weaponry here, they sure knew how to make weapons, Greyson could give them that much.
But nothing compared to a good Jedi blaster, even if none of them used one but him. He began to tinker with the parts trying
to make capacitors and other things to put on the blaster rifle to make it even better, eventually he was satisfied with a new
heavy capacitor to increase it's damage output without sacrificing it's tight spread. He then attached a sort of scope to it so
he wouldn't find it such a pain in the ass to shoot long distance.

He draped the new improved rifle over his back and began walking over to a hill, he started to climb up the side
of a rock face to get higher up to it until he reached the top. It was a breathtaking view of the clouds behind the
mountains with the sunset reflecting on top of the lake. He took out his beacon he lugged up with him and increased
loop frequency and range, we was getting off this damn planet.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos was safely aboard the Pride of the Republic issuing orders from his cockpit. He wished his men felt the same sort of safety but many of them were still in the middle of both the space and surface battles. He ordered his Lucrehulks to away from the deadly Praetor class battle cruiser as fast as possible as they were already beginning to shake from the weapons of the ship. The vultures began to cloud around the Carrack cruisers that were blocking their way to the capitol ships. They fired on them just as much as they did the Star Destroyers. The Lucrehulks charged towards the planet as they could each carry up to 100k+ passengers. They also were sent so the gunships wouldn't have to fly so far through the raging battle. It would take a few minutes but eventually they will come into an acceptable distance of the planet of Naboo.

Things may have quieted down outside the star destroyers but within them was a different story. The droid continued to fight the stormtroopers within the halls and room. explosives were shot into rooms followed by droids going in guns blazing. they continued to push towards their objectives especially the bridge and engines. They met tough resistance but they continued to march steadily.

The most of the gunships under Master Cosmos's command were full to the point of overflowing with civilians. They weren't going to take off until the emplacements were destroyed or the Lucrehulks were in range. The vultures and bombes continued what they were doing but more and more were being shot down by the new wave of imperial reinforcements. However Kamikaze attacks were still very much still happening. The troops on the ground continued to either defend the landing zones or continued to fight out of the city to join up with the others.

[Pantorrum]

The Endeavor had finished and moved to jump position. The fleet of Frigates had saved as many lives as possible. Over 18,000 would be saved today. The fleet made its jump.

Master Dy'lan would soon have his hands on a new ship, from the Kuat drive yards. A ship from the end of the clone wars more powerful than the Endeavor. It would be named the Resolute. It is a large Acclamator cruiser, and would become the new flagship of the New Jedi Order. The ship would be the first thing picked up. The fleet was in route to Yavin 4, where the citizens would be dropped off at Deno's settlement he made months ago before his death.

[Vortukia]

Some sort of ship landed not far from Greysons location, it looked Imperial. Of course it had to be them who responded to the beacon, it would be to easy if it wasn't. He worked his way over to the ship as they looked around, satisfied with the belief who ever made the beacon was long dead they retreated back to their ship. Except now he was on board in the cargo hold, hiding behind a crate. Greyson leaned up against a box, let the dark embrace of sleep overtake him...


Often times, when someone looses someone close to them that person will never escape their mind, this is a curse in some cases as you will be forced to relive your darkest time. Over and over again...


Gresyon was in a large green pasture or field, he was never able to figure out what exactly it was. But he felt peaceful and at ease here. He had been here many times before, every time he seemed to let sleep overtake him he would be in this field, the exact same setting.

A large grassy field, as far as they eye can see with the wind slightly blowing as the shards of grass bend to the wind. The clear blue sky, not a cloud in sight and a big nice warm sun. It seemed like something out of a movie. But in the distance, it didn't matter what the field looked like. Because THEY where there... His wife, his daughter and his master all waiting for him. His son was next to him on his side. He knew what would happen, it had happened every time in the dream.

He walked forward with his son in tow, every step he took the grass began to grey and die and the sky grew cloudy and dark, and it seemed like every step he took they looked sadder and sadder. Until he finally reached a few feet away from them, then he saw the Emperor behind them.

"NO!" Greyson screamed but he knew it wouldn't do anything, it never did.

The Emperor struck them down in a bolt of lighting, just like he did on the day the order was given. He didn't just send storm stroopers, he did it personally. He watched helplessly as his family was killed in front of him again.

"I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to save you..." He let slip, as he was slowly pulled out of his never ending nightmare.

[New Emphillon]

Krass sensed Master Dy'lan's fleet flee the system and relaxed a little. At least they had the opportunity to escape. The battle continued to rage fiercely. Krass's starships focused their firepower on the Imperial Star Destroyers to keep them from attacking Cosmos's Lucrehulks as they repositioned themselves to acquire the evacuation transports. The concentrated firepower of the two Bulwark battlecruisers managed to bring down the shields of the Wraith and they wasted no time to destroy the shield generator domes on top of the destroyer's command tower. Squadron 8 moved into position and made their attack run on the command bridge, firing their proton torpedoes and breaking off. One of the Saboath fighters in that squadron got hit by a laser blast from the Wraith's point-defense system. The shots were true and the bridge burst into flames, causing the ship to divert away from the fleet and begin to drift. The Bulwarks continued their onslaught on the vessel to ensure that the Empire could make no use of the ship and make sure it was out of the fight.

The next target was the Praetor battlecruiser. All of the Pride's forward facing laser cannons and turbolaser attempted to keep the ship occupied, only diverting its attention away from the smaller frigates and destroyers to the Republic Command Ship. All of the battlecruiser's forward batteries returned fire, lashing the forward shields of the larger vessel. The shields, despite their enhancement, were still fragile. They drained rapidly under the battlecruiser's bombardment, but the Recusants of the fleet fired at the battlecruiser to help in the draining of its shields. Krass focused his energy to stimulate the gunners of the Pride and the other vessels. The Imperial starships needed to be dealt with before the fleet left.

On the ground, Imperial forces continued to push for the LZs, losing some of their own along the way. Krass's gunships continued to provide covering fire for the area until the transports were full, but the transports couldn't take off without the artillery being taken care of. They didn't have to wait long. A Vulture droid was hit by one of the AT-AAs and it followed through with its kamikaze attack. The stormtroopers saw it coming and fired at it with their rockets and blasters, but with no effect. Physics were against them. The droid fighter crashed into the SPHA-T artillery walker that was poised for defense of the sky. The walker's legs buckled after the direct hit and its main gun leapt off the chassis as the walker burst into flames. This incident gave the transports the opportunity they needed. The full gunships and transports rushed for the sky, meeting more Imperial transports and some V-wings. Some of these obstacles were destroyed by the gunships. The number of Krass's transports that returned to the fleet was at 72% and climbing. The Empire was losing its chance to destroy the rebels.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

The Lucrehulks opened up their hangers as the multitude of gunships began to pass through the magnetic fields and into the ships themselves. The vultures continued to swarm around the Carracks unleashing a barrage of weapons fire on their shields and hulls. Many vultures went after the Praetor but ultimately just becoming space debris minute after engaging the ships. Those that were not entirely destroyed by the weapons of the Imperial ship crashed themselves into the weapons and the bridge hoping to have some effect on the large vessel. As this happened the TIE were becoming fewer and fewer as they did not want them heading for the planet and assaulting their gunships.

Meanwhile on the star destroyers the droids were only a few passageways away from both the bridge and the engines. Their route their as littered with the bodies of stormtroopers, crewman and large piles of droid bodies and parts. They were meeting stiff resistance but they pushed forward with explosives and blasterfire. They spread throughout the ship hoping to cause the stormtroopers to spread out to come divert anymore stormtroopers from heading to their priority targets. On theBehemoth The engines and navigation were under their control. Droids went throughout the ship earlier and removed and destroyed all imperial devices that could either track or damage the ship. Moments later they left the system on the powerful Behemoth. This vessel was no longer classified as Imperial for it was now a rebel ship.

On the planet the gunships were rising as the emplacement were being bombed and destroyed. Vultures went ahead of them destroying the Imperial strarfighters in their way. Rebel troopers began to either board the gunships themselves or fought towards landing zones where they could evacuate. As they rose up they fired on the stormtroopers that were now below them. Vultures took the fire of AA-guns so the gunships would be less harmed. When they were hit they retargeted themselves to land/crash into the Imperials.
