[DarthBuzzard]

(FYI Urch, I changed it to my perosnal Y-wing )

 

Khan sped through space, and breathed a sigh of relief at his luck with the Naboo fighter. He had taken only light damage, and was ready to assist the fleet. However, out of his rear view mirror, he saw the Naboo fighter take heavy damage, and it was unable to shake his pursers. He knew that Gage was in there, and knew he could not afford to lose him. Khan wheeled his Y-wing around, and fired three shots. Two missed, and one barely grazed the fighter, but it wasn't enough to shake him. The Mandalorian fighter fired another volley at the Naboo fighter, hitting the wing twice. The Naboo fighter could barely move, and two fighters streaked across space to take it out. Khan did a loop-the-loop, and yelled into the helmet, "Not on my watch you don't!" 12 laster bolts shrieked through space, crushing the Mandalorian fighters.

"Haha, how about that! Gage Turnstar, if you are in the Naboo fighter, please respond. I'll bring you into the Lager, and you can take command of the...Hold on! All fleet forces, be prepared! Second Mandalore Battle fleet approaching from hyperspace! Their numbers are too many! I don't think we can hold them off! Repeat, Second Mandalore battle fleet approaching from hyperspace! Prepare for a massive dogfight!" No sooner had he said this, the enemy fleet emerged from hyperspace. Their numbers blocked out the stars and the sun. Moving to a closed channel, he said, "Commander Turnstar, the Mandalore are fierce fighters, and their numbers are too many! We MUST retreat, but it's your call!"

 

Khan watched the Mandalore blaze through Republic lines, who were taken by complete suprise at the counterattack.

[UrchSr]

(The Captain has control over Commander, dude you lead, I follow... I'm in control of the flag ship in my fleet, so I control my fleet. Who's in control of yours or what's left of it? Y-wing, huh?.. 10-4, good buddy!)

(Hey, Matt, where ever you want to jump in is cool. We could use some fire power in this dog fight!! )

 

"Captain Khan, I'm glad to see you're still alive... Unless someone else heard your distress call ( Ahem Matt... you there?...), I'm suggesting you call the retreat!" Gage said

"The closest Republic base is on Mannan, Gage. The Selkath ground defences will neutralize the Mandalorians." Bee said

"Attention all Members of the Ladger fleet, This is Commander Turnstar Of the Alpha Ladger. Full retreat to the Mannan base. Capital ships, Pick up any pods you find. With any luck, there will be a fleet there to assist (MATT!!!)." Gage said.

"Retreat is in progress Gage. Fleet at 80% The Ender Shadow's Fleet is at48%" Bee said

"Captain Khan, I'm going to need a piggy-back... The first round of Tarisian Ale is on me when we get to Mannan!" Gage said

[DarthBuzzard]

"Glad to hear it, Turnstar! Khan Wolfe to Ender's Shadow fleet, pull back to Manann. Set coordinates 091, 207, 366, 21, 005. Repeat, pull back to Manann. Set coordinates 091, 207, 366, 21, 005." Closing that link, he called up the one of the last Capital ships in his fleet, the Freedom.

"Khan Wolfe to Freedom, come in."

"...Freedom...(static)we...(static)copy!

"Gage Turnstar needs a lift. Pick him up with the tractor beams before you blast into hyperspace!"

"...Copy! (static)...Moving to intercept."

 

Watching the Freedom move to pick him up, Khan alerted Gage. All that was left was to retreat. Firing up the universal com link, he said, "Prepare hyperspace jump on my count. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

[Solidus Matt]

"Master Jedi we're ready for combat, all we need is your command!!!" said republic solider 1 (I'll give them names later I can't think of any just now)

"Wait until our fleets are at a safe distance then target all enermy ships and fire. Also be ready with small cargo ships with

medical surplies." Said Solidus Matt

 

One of the consoles started to beep as Number 1 moved over to the console and looked at the data.

"Sir we have ships closing in!"Said Number 1

"Are they Rebulic or Mandalorian ?" asked Solidus Matt

"From what this shows the Ships that we're intercpt first is our fleet, but the Mandalorians aren't all that behind tem!" Said Number 1

"We have no choice but to engage the enermy, and remember may the force be with you." Said Solidus Matt over the communications grid.

[UrchSr]

Gage felt the tracter beam lock in on his Naboo fighter. The faint hum was rather soothing and he was drifting off to sleep. Gage hasn't slept much since his childhood trama. His cybornetic implants freed him from the need to sleep. Bee was still communicating to the Ladger fleet. the jump to hyper speed alowed the long range sensers to pick up another republic fleet.

"There's a supply fleet at Mannan, Gage." Bee said

"That's wonderful news, Bee.. We're saved..." Gage said as he closed his eyes and slept.

[DarthBuzzard]

Khan Wolfe punched three buttons, activating his hyperspace jump. He gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyebrows, and prepared for the 4G blast. Blue mass enveloped the blackness, and his engines roared. Fighter lasers fired at him, one barely missing. Slowly at first, but then very quickly, his ship was being pulled into the blueness. With one last burst, he catapulted into hyperspace. He was being crushed back into his seat, his breath was knocked out...and just as quickly as it started, it stopped. He had arrived at the peaceful blueness of Manann. Circling the planet was a small Republic supply fleet. Knowing his role as Captain, he began running checks.

"Republic supply fleet, and Solidius Matt, check in."

"(static): We're here Captia; ready to assist.

"Excellent"

He switched channels to the Manann ground forces.

"Selkath Ground Forces on Manann, check in!"

"Eeeksh Conahkchs, bwena staach."

"I'll take that as a copy, ready to assist! Now, Commander Gage, check in".

From the other line, a loud snore and a groan could be heard.

"He's sleeping at a time like this!? Admiral Dadonna's gonna give him a demerit when we return to Coruscant, I'll see to it! Now, since your commander is sawing logs, I need Alpha Ladger fleet to report in!"

"Alpha Ladger fleet, ready to assist."

"Excellent. Now we just wait."

 

Everything was silent on the comm. No-one was even breathing. Khan was watching the sensors, but was disturbed to find the Mandalores holdinmg position. As he continued to watch, he realized they were recieving more reinforcements, in addition to the second battlefleet. But this wasn't like the Mandalores, Khan rationalized. Then he realized something. They weren't moving to engage, they were conquering the worlds that the Republic had left behind! They were getting a fight in the worlds, so they didn't care about fighting the combined fleets. The fleet was useless just sitting there.

 

"Gage, wake up and check your sensors. What do we do?"

[UrchSr]

**ZAP!!!**

"Whoa, what? What's wrong?!" Gage said responding to the shock Bee gave him.

"Khan needs you, Gage..." Bee said

"Where is theMandelorian fleet?"

"They did not follow, Gage. They are attacking planets in that quadrent we just left."

"Ladger, this is Commander Turnstar, restock and repair what you can. I'll need a lift. Alpha, come get me. Ready the officers. I want a full report when I get back!" Gage said

"Yes, sir." said a voice from the Alpha

"Gage, I have Sam Turnstar on the mini-holocron." Bee said

"Hey, sweetie. What's going on?" Gage said

"Asleep?! You fall asleep in a fire fight?! What would Jolee say if he found out?!" Sam said

"It was the tracter beam hum... Nevermind!! And don't bring up that old man again! He left us!" Gage snapped back

"There is no passion..." she said

"There is only peace." They said together

"I know, I know... That part was always funny coming from two married Jedi." Gage said

"They made an agreement with us... Our connection and combined powers are too important to turn away." she said

 

 

(I'll make a profile for my wife... Or maybe she will, I dunno... There will be one, though)

[DarthBuzzard]

"Gage, we don't have the forces to engage 2 and a half mandalore battlefleets! If we stay here, we serve NO purpose! Our only choice is to return to Coruscant! Admiral Dadonna will need to hear about Gret being captured, and of the Mandalorians! She may have new orders as well!"

 

There was no answer.

"Oh of course...leave it to a Jedi to fall asleep in the middle of battle. Unreliable little..."

 

Khan's com link showed RC (Republic Crusier) Freedom requesting a link. He patched them through, and he heard the officer telling him that Turnstar was heading back to the Ladger Alpha.

"Oh, so he's been awake!? Tell him when we get back to Coruscant, he's being stripped of Commander powers! I'll see to it!"

"Yes sir, I'll do that. However, the more...er...pressing matter is that he wishes to talk to you. He says it's urgent."

"(grumbles) Patch him through..."

[Laurie]

Name: Sam Turnstar (Maiden name: Aduleye)

Affiliation: Far Light Side

Rank: Jedi Spec Ops Team Leader

Jedi Watchman/ Master-instructer

Race: Human

Age: 25

Flag ship: The Ladger Alpha

Personel Ship: Modified E-wing fighter/ Iron Condor Freighter

Armor: Yellow w/ purple flare Jedi Watchman robe and purple Jedi cape. Upgraded Aduleye Fiber Armor

Weapon(s): Purple Bladed Lightsaber

Aduleye Blaster Pistol

Concussion Grenades

Assignment: Leader of Jedi Spec Ops team code named The Chasers. The team consists of two teams of five Jedi Knights.

Equipment: Aduleye Sensor Band, Aduleye Gloves, Aduleye Utility belt, Aduleye Energy Shield, Aduleye communicator arm band, Aduleye Enhancement Package III.

Bio: The Aduleye Family have been making unique and personally customized items for over 130 years. The items that Sam wears were made by her Father for her. The Aduleye and Turnstar families were close business partners and friends. Sam and gage were born around the same time and both families agreed to join through a marriage. Much of the Aduleye family fortune came from the Turnstar mines and it's miners. Weapons and utilities for minig were very important for the miners. Sam and her family were on the Turnstar's ship when they were attacked. Her brother, Ollie, was killed when he assisted in the escape of the people on board. Sam and Gage had not seen each other for many years. She was trained on a differant planet and was unaware that Gage was alive. A mission on Kashyyyk brought them together. A rogue Jedi named Jolee Bindo was found in the shadow lands on the planet's surface. Jolee recognized them both immediatly. Jolee had done business with there families in the past. He could see the strong bond between them and told them to follow their hearts and be wary of the darkside. The three of them were attacked by a swarm of Kinrath spiders. The force flew through them as if they were the same person. Their movements complimented each other like a quickly paced ballet with Lightsabers. They felt stronger, faster and could use the Force with the littlest of effort. They knew now what Jolee was talking about; the love thier families shared and the sacrifices they made an impression in the force and is reflected in them. The threat was over and like all young Jedi Jolee encountered, they tried to coax him to come back to the order. Jolee was furious and ran off leaving them in the shadows. His hasty departure awoke a pair of sleeping Tarentartek beasts. The force has nearly no effect on them, and conventional weapons are nearly as effective. A near two hour fight tested their teamwork and stamina. The battle ended with the beasts dead and both Jedi poisoned. Gage's implants delayed it from spreading, but could not stop it. Sam used an antidote pack, but did not work. Both tired from the fight, they could not travel far. They finally combined thier abilities and group healed each other. They could not find Jolee. His disapeerance left questions and fustration in the mind of Gage. After the mission, they approached the Jedi Council and told them about the bond. They agreed to allow the relationship and were curious to see how powerful they were together. A romance budded and they wed. As a young couple, the council agreed that they needed many masters and much more training than the average. They now only answer to to the high council. Sam suggested that similar training be put into use. The council agreed and the Chasers were born. Gage's apeerance often allows him to blend in well in dangerous areas and his savy and quick tounge gets him much info needed for missions. Though he is not currently a member of the Chasers, he was one, and still works closely with them. He can not normaly be seen with Jedi for it will blow his cover. They are both assigned to infiltrate the Mandalorians and neurtalize the threat.

[UrchSr]

(Man, can she talk!! Err, umm... Nice back story, Hunny... Ha, ha)

 

Strip me if you want, soldier, but I'm sure the Republic will miss the jedi's assistance. Dadonna will not like the news. I believe you are right... The only way we could ever win against these tyrants is with some kind of assistance and direction. We should stay in the area and use long range communications to talk with the admiral.

[DarthBuzzard]

(psst urch, Revan dosen't come till much later in the war, while we're getting our butts kicked ...edit your last post )

 

Khan heard Gage's communication, and responded, "Heh, just jokin' about the commander powers uh...Commander, but next time, DON'T get your shuteye in the middle of battle. We're too far from Coruscant for long range communications, and due to Mandalore jammers in the system, and heavy damage to our comlinks, we can't contact anyone else. All we have are extremely close range communications. Requesting fall back"

[UrchSr]

"The outer rim planets are holding with out our assistance... for now, Gage. We could go in a smaller ship and leave the fleet here." Bee said

"If we go, we will risk capture or worse." Gage said

"We may also risk the entire fleet in the same scenario, Gage." she said

"Maybe you are right, Bee. Commander Turnstar to Chaser leader, come in." Gage said

 

Gage was standing in the fighter bay and was near overwhelmed with soldiers eager to report. While he waited for a reply from Sam, he dictated instructions and gave orders. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Tilooba (Iridorian male) and Slimbacca (Wookie female) loading the Iron Condor. Lisha and Nisha Minka (Twie'lek female twins) were Assisting each other into their armor, and Vark (Cathar male) was in deep meditation Floating a meter above the floor. The rear hatch opened up and Sam stepped out. Gage quickly dismissed the remaining crew and walked quickly than sort of jogged and finally ran over to her. He scooped her up and kissed her and put her down.

"Hi, I was wondering if you and your team wanted to escort me to meet with Admiral Dodonna. I wouldn't want to fall asleep again."

[Laurie]

She quickly scolded Gage "NOT IN FRONT OF THE TEAM!! You know well enough that Passion is forbidden. We don't need to be showing off in front of the others!! Now, what is it? You want me to 'escort' you, do you? I see what you did to your fighter...again!! You want me to give you a ride!! Ha, I'm fully aware of the situation. We can't all go to see the Admiral, can we? If one person were to go, they'd be captured for sure. I'll agree to take you, but the council wants to speak to us anyway. By the way, My father finished your new arm as per your specifications. If you weren't my husband, it would have cost you 50,000 credits. Come on, Gage. We need to get you ready. Don't mind the team, they are ready for anything."

 

They both boarded the Condor and Gage was immediately pulled aside by Jumta Beltu (Human male) and Milla Neti (Human female). They sat him in a chair that quickly became a table. They began taking his arm off and replacing it with the new one. Sam's father had also made a custom occular inhancer implant for his droid eye. The costly upgrades were a serious improvement and were expected to be stronger than his last ones. The arm looked more like a human's if only for the metallic "skin" made up of the cortosis weave and heavy plating. Sam took her seat at the helm and was flanked by the last members of her team Rampo Giit and Remy Stag (Human Males).

 

"All team members to stations, we're going to take off. Open a channel to Captain Khan... Captain, as per Commander Turnstar's request, we will be *ahem* 'escorting' him to see the Admiral." She said

 

She shortly filled him in on the plan and why it was the best way to go. The trek to the Admiral's currant position was long even in hyperspeed. Sam decided to turn in and walked back to the area Gage was in. he was reading over the stats that were with the new occular enhancer. By the look on his face, he was both pleased and impressed.

 

"I believe it will no longer short out in bad weather conditions. the eye movement is much smoother, no?"

 

After some idol chit chat, they both entered the aft sleeping quarters for some alone time.

[DarthBuzzard]

"Copy that, Turnstar and uh..Turnstar. I'm holding position and preparing a defensive perimeter. We're slowly inching up to the edge of the outer rim. The fleet is spreading out, and awaiting the Mandalores in case they come callin'. I need you to return with new orders for me. Holding here at Manann for any longer will be suicide." Khan, without waiting for a response, continued on. "Before I got my Capitol ship, I was part of the B squadron, Elite Fighters under "A" for Andy. You don't need to worry about my history, I'm just telling you that I am organizing a reconnisance mission in the form of a fighter wing to asses the situation at the outer rim."

 

Khan, taking a deep breath, said to the Turnstars,

"Good luck...over and out."

 

Khan swooped off toward the front of the fleet, and called his fighter wing up to the line.

 

"Fighter squadron C, E-Wing batallion, report in."

"This is left shoulder, "B" for Bravo reporting in."

"Neck, "C" for Charlie, I copy."

"Right shoulder, "D" for Delta, I copy."

"Left Arm, "E" for Echo, reporting in Sir."

"Torso, "F" for Foxtrot, ready."

"Right Arm, "G" for Golf, weapons hot."

"This is left hand, "H" for Hotel, shootin' to kill!"

"Right hand..."I" for India, ready."

"Left Leg, "J" for Juliet, reporting all systems nominal!"

"Right leg, "K" for Kilo, awaiting orders."

"Left foot, "L" for Lima, bringin' up the rear!"

"Right foot, "M" for Mike, ready op."

"Excellent guys. This is Head, Squad Leader, "A" for Alpha (Khan Wolfe), reporting in. Our job is to recon some strategic Outer Rim planets, with places like factories, weapons plants, et cetera, et cetera on them. I'm uploading the area's into your Nav computer. You are NOT to engage the enemy unless they spot you. "A" for Alpha will be on point. Let's move!"

 

The E-wing's, led by Khan's Y-wing, blasted off to their first target.

[UrchSr]

Gage Could feel something in his gut, something was wrong. He saw the look in Sam's eyes that she felt it, too. The Condor came out of hyperspeed suddenly. They could see on the ship's sensor that they were headed right for the Admiral's fleet.

 

"Sam, Admiral on the comm..." said a voice from the front.

 

The admiral was concerned and angry over the events that hte two had to offer. A missing Admiral and two fleets nearly destroyed. The Admiral put Khan in charge of both fleets and sent another three fleets for support.

 

"I understand, Admiral. I'm going to talk to the council and tell them the situation. I hope they will offer full co-operation. The resources of the council will help."

 

The fleets were already on their way. Sam and Gage continued on to meet the council. The condor was nearly there when they saw a Mandalorian flag ship and fighter squadrin coming right at them. They were trapped. The fighters surounded the freighter and escorted it into the flagship docking bay. Once the doors in the hanger closed, they started planning the escape. Two Jedi Masters and nine Jedi Knights have to take out an entire mandalorian flag ship.

[DarthBuzzard]

""C" for Charlie reporting Nav point 1 reached an clear, Sir."

""A" for Alpha, squadron leader confirming "C" for Charlie's visuals. Continue to point 2"

 

Once again, the small fighter squadron blasted off into space, this time to the second target. It was a peaceful blue world only a parsec from Manann.

""E" for Echo reporting Nav Point 2 clear."

""A" for Alpha confirming visual. Halfway done guys and gals, move to Nav Point 3."

 

Khan flew off to the third Nav point, and as soon as they arrived, they found themselves tangled up in an entire mandalore battlefleet, which proceeded to surround them.

"Stagger! C Squadron, stagger the lines!"

As he said this, some fighters moved straight up, and others down, making it much harder to hit them.

"This is "E" for Echo, there's no place to retreat! We're surrounded!" No sooner had he said this they were in a tractor beam being sucked into a Mandalore capitol ship. Various other tractor beams went on and the rest of the ships in his squadron were being pulled up. Khan knew he couldn't escape, and wasted no time in contacting the fleet, and putting the crew of RC Freedom in charge. When he was finally in the docking bay, several Mandalorians came to get him. He saw similar things happening to the rest of his fighter squadron. Then he heard the Mandalores talking, saying:

"Wow, look, another officer. to go with that Turnstar one."

"Ha! Let's take him to that sector. We'll see what the commanders have to say when we bring in a Captain and an Elite fighter squadron..."

 

So Turnstar was captured too huh...what have I gotten us into?!

[UrchSr]

It slowly dawned on Gage that the condor is not an official Jedi vessel. One look at Sam, and she knew, too. It would be hard to hide Gage's advancements, but a few lightsabers would be easy. Vark stood up and handed every one a map of the ship. Gage was given a small metallic card that was placed into his shoulder. It came out faster than it went in. They all had maps, and they all had lightsabers. A few big repeaters and explosive devices were all they needed. The twins manned the gun turrets and Tilooba and Slimbacca retrieved the repeaters and guarded the rear hatch. The rest took up arms and stuffed ammo anywhere it would fit. Sam wasn't much of a blaster person, but she knew how to use one. She pulled her father's pistol out of her holster and stood ready at the hatch door controls. The mandalorians Couldn't open the hatch from the outside with the shields up. If they attacked the ship, the riccochets would tear the hanger up. They would have to wait until they come out. The turrets started to move, and the battle began...

[DarthBuzzard]

"Move faster, Republic SCUM!"

WHACK.

 

For the umpteenth time, Khan got whacked by the heavy repeater. He was being led into a prisoner transport ship, and he knew where they were going to go. To the Mandalore flagship they were calling the Overlord Three. He knew it was where Gage was being held. He saw most of his crew, some knocked out my the mandalore's blows, be herded into either his ship or into a second ship. Inside the ship, things looked pretty grim. All that were there for holding prisoners were energy cages. Khan paled when he looked to the bottom of the cages, and saw that each one was equipped with an interrogation system. Ouch. Another whack by the Mandalore with the heavy repeater send him careening into his sell, cursing and holding his head. A Mandalorian flipped a switch, and they flew from the capital ship. Khan seemed to be trapped in a void of no thoughts, jst gazing straight ahead while the transport ship creaked and groaned. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the transport ship came upon the mother ship. It's hull was black and massive, and it stretched for at least 10 KM. Then, he heard the Mandalorians breathe something.

"Looks like the Republic are putting up a fight"

"Yeah, look at that..."

"Hah! Call the gunnery officer and have him prepare lasers. Fire at the ship."

"Yes sir."

"Contact gunners in the other transport as well. If the Republic fights, kill them. Kill them all"

 

After less than a minute, Khan felt the ship shaking with the effort of leveling the laser cannons to fire at the Republic ship. Mortified, he watched the red lasers from both transport ships open fire on the Jedi...

[UrchSr]

(Jeez, quit following me!! J/k)

 

"Open the door!!" Gage barked. Sam reached for the controls when Vark graspped her wrist.

"Open the door!!" Gage repeated. Vark pointed a finger to the bright radar screen. Gage's eyes fixed on the screen and then the viewer. (Mandalorian ships are going to fire at them!! How would they sacrifice the whole hanger for one small republic ship?! The shields will hold, but the hanger will be destroyed!! The shields are far too strong. The enemy is unaware of the modifications made, aren't they?) Gage thought to himself.

 

Milla said "That's a prisoner transport ship. They must have a prisoner!"

 

"They are firing at us!!" Rampo said.

 

"Good, open the door!!" Gage said. "Let's go!"

 

The door opened slowly and the mandalorians opened fire at the hatch. the bolts zipped off of the shield and riccocheted off of every surface. They were taking heavy losses. The blaster fire from the other ship had little effect until the restraining bolt holding the Condor in place was struck hard. It tackes normally three bolts to hold it down and one was gone.

 

"What was that?" sked Sam

"One of the bolts is gone, we're almost free!! Said Jimta

 

"Open fire on the ship. Target their radar." Gage said

"Radar?!" said Nisha

"We don't know who is on that ship! They can take out the other bolts. We might be able to get out of here!" said Gage

 

The ship started to roar as Remy powered up for a quick get-away. Tilooba took a hit in the thigh and cried out.

"Sam, I'm hit!!" He fired back at what hit him and noticed it was a heavy ripper!! "They got a ripper!! Close the hatch, Our shield is useless!!"

 

The hatch quickly shut as the second bolt was destroyed. the prisoner ship was attacking without abandon. It would have to dock soon. Remy hit the accelerator the ship rocked hard and knocked the crew to the bulkhead floor. The bolt was giving up a good fight. the Condor was getting hit hard form the rippers outside. The prisoner ship continued it's attack and fired directly at the turrets. Lisha fell off her perch and onto the floor. an electrical fire started in her area. The crew came to her aid and pulled her outof the smoke and flame. The ships extingisher kicked in and took the fire out. With only one turret remaining, Nisha opened fire on the pilot compartment. Seeing her sister thrown to the floor angered her greatly, but she would not harm captured in the belly of the transport. Two small explosions in the front of the ship sealed it's fate. It began to drift twoards the Condor! The last bolt would not give and they were trapped. the heavy transport will cut through the small Condor and shred it to pieces. In one last effort to save the crew, Gage took Sam's hand and focused all his thought on the ship. Sam could see what he was doing and joined in the effort. The ship started to turn away from them slightly. Tilooba and Lisha assisted in thier efforts as best as they could. The others were still fighting off the foot soldiers and droids or getting them out of there. The Prisoner ship crashed onto the flight deck and skidded towards them again. It started to slow down and finally stopped after slamming into the remaining bolt. The ship was free!!

 

"Hold on to something!" Yelled Remy from the front end

 

The Condor lifted off of the deck and sped to the bay doors. Nisha opened fire on the fighters still on the deck ensuring thier escape. Slimbacca had an other idea, however. She had constructed a very large ion bomb. It was fastened to the hull and would deploy and detonate by remote. One switch and the bomb was off... bouncing off the flight deck and landing near the fuel cells. She then hit the second switch and the device split in two causing the cells to rupture. The chain reaction crippled the dock and any droids still on the deck. the ion wave reached a stablizer and nearly caught the Condor before it went into hyperspace.

"Who was in that transport, and why did they fire like that?" Asked Milla

"-Not sure, but a rescue mission will have to wait. We'll find out when we reach back with Khan.

[DarthBuzzard]

(Well, since we are the only ones posting here, what else am I gonna do? )

 

The ship gave a massive shudder. Khan could see the crew

attempting repairs. The Khan noticed that the energy cage sheilds were flickerring out. They were still holding, but not for long. As more shots raked the ship, Khan saw more and more of the crew die. He looked at one of his crew members, "G" for Golf, and they each knew what the other was thinking. As the last flicker of the sheilds dissappeared, they both charged the mandalores. Golf picked up a repeater and offerend suppressing fire while Khan picked up a Mandalorian assault blade and charged. Another explosion nearby took out the remnant of the enemy crew. Khan looked around and saw that his entire crew was still alive, and realized that the energy sheilds must have protected them. Khan then realized that the ship was in trouble, and they needed to commandeer the ship. As he was running towards the cockpit, two explosions rocked the front. He ran in to find all of the insrtuments destroyed.

"Golf, get the rest of the crew and start repairing these things! You find out if the second transport ship is still under mandalore control!"

"Yes Sir"

 

Khan turned away and started moving the ship with the few resources he had. He looked down at the two bars that were still displaying data, ENGINE POWER and SHIP INTEGRITY. The engine power bar was ow, .5/5, and ship integrity was 1/5.

"Golf, we need a pickup! This rust bucket is too damaged to go anywhere!"

"Yessir. "B" for Bravo and "E" for Echo are fixing the com ray!

 

Turning back to the controls, Khan breathed...

"Man, I hope this works..."

[UrchSr]

Gage turned his attention to the injured party members. Minor burns and cuts were all. Lisha got the worst with burns up both arms. Nisha was very concerned for her sister. Lisha was feeling the same for Nisha. Being twins with a strong bond with or without the force is a mysterious thing to understand.

Satisfied with the progress of his friends, Gage noticed a large crate with small metal parts in it. Sam could see him eye-balling the the contents.

"Those are the pieces to your carbine you wanted. I also picked them up from my father with your arm." she said

 

"I figured... May I use the work bench?" Gage said.

 

"Ask Slimbacca, she's in charge of it."

 

After a stern warning from Slimbacca not to mess her area, Gage took out the damaged carbine and started to remove his upgrades. Some of the old ones were less powerful than the new ones, and he needed to upgrade some others to be compadible with his new occular implant. He studied the gun and turned it over. The cell was still good, but the rest of the gun was useless. It was tossed for scrap. Slim could find a better use he thought. The new carbine was fitted and mocked up for the add-ons. The gun was heavier, but the power it had more than made up for it. Having a droid arm also made it easier to aim a heavy gun. The carbine he used was newer than the last and was made by the republic. It had room for one more upgrade. Tilooba limped into the cargo hold where Gage was. He pulled a box out from under his arm and shifted his weight onto his crutch. Gage reached out and took the box and opened it.

"It's the final piece of your blaster." He said.

 

Gage looked inside and said "A grenade launcher? I'm going to like this."

"It can also be customized... Fuse length, blast size... You know."

Tilooba said.

 

Gage looked down and said a quick "thanks" and continued to fix his new toy to his carbine.

The fit into his holster was snug but it still fit. A small pouch in his belt carries a spare mag for the launcher. The Condor stopped and rested in the bay of a neighbor republic ship. The teamates were quick healers and Tilooba was nearly limping. Lisha wasn't wearing her bandages. The hatch opened up and they were met by the welcoming party. The news of Khan was not very "welcome" by the crew. They all turned around and stepped back onto the Condor. It took off again and knocked over some of the droids that were doing rutine mantainance on the Condor. Every one knew that Khan was in that transport. A message to the ship requested a fighter escort to aid with the rescue effort. The Mandelore will not have recovered yet. They were all ready for more.
