(woops forgot to post)

 

Viper sat quietly in a briefing room listening to the commander of the rebel alliance talking about the plan to defend Kamino. Viper knew the layout of Kamino better than any one he knew. He stood up when the commander was finished.

"There new bombers we have are capable of carrying a deadly amount of bombs and will be useful in taking out the Imperial Star Destroyers"

"Yes but the imperials have produced a new space fighter"

The plans showed up via a holagram. The Group around the table watched. Viper galnced at it and left the room. Waiting was the worst. Viper had not fought against the Imperials as sutch. The last time he had fought against the clones was on Mygeeto. He had a brief counter on a hell hole know as Earth but since then he had kept his head low to escape Lord Vader's grip. Viper stepped out into the rain and looked up. ABove he could make out the shaped of ships. His comm. Buzzed.

"Viper we are expecting the Imperials to arrive soon"

Viper got into his Firespray class ship and flew into space to meet with the CIS capital ship...

[Sebastian Vlay]

Unit 221 was being fed information about enemies and such for this mission while being held in stand-by mode on a service rack. Using the data he was receiving, he began to draw out strategies that could be used to defend Kamino from the Empire. At long last, the flow of information stopped, and several wires unplugged themselves from the corporal's body. Then, its body began to take standard humanoid form: legs extending, arms bending, head lifted, as he was brought down from the service rack.

 

"Corporal, our ships just arrived in the Kamino system." Another said. "As of the moment, you are to report to the hangar bay. Understood?"

 

"Yes sir," 221 replied.

 

It saluted its officer, and moved toward the elevator, taking it down to the hangar. Once there, he was greeted by another comrade. All throughout the hangar, repair and service droids were working on the still-operational ships and fighters. Many squads of battle droids had been aligned against the walls of the hangar as well.

 

"Corporal, you will be taking part in squad 2301's mission. They are waiting."

 

Corporal 221 walked over to the small squad, receiving more instruction. He waited now for the Imperials to begin their assault. Hopefully to only begin their assault on Kamino.

[Jedi Atomic]

Darrick sat on his bunk waiting for the siren to go off but nothing happened, just footsteps and the voices of men walking past his room talking amongst each other. He decided to lay down and wait. After a while he began sleeping.

[J-hawk]

Name: Jon Hawkins (nickname J-hawk)

Age:21

Faction: Empier

Class: Engineer

Rank: captain

Ship: Modified Early TIE-Fighter

Weapons:Modified Shotgun,Commando Pistol,Fusion Cutter,Thermal Detonators

Bio: After the Republic was turned to the Empire he was ranked from Sergeant to Captain.He was once under the command of Aayla Secura but after code 66 he was moved from Felucia to Kamoni to finch the last of the CIS.

[J-hawk]

J-hawk was in the Hanger Bay looking over his Tie-fighter waiting for the Rebels to attack.In moment a alarm goes off. It sinals that the rebel have send there fisrt wave of fighter.He hops into his fighter and takes off with his 2 wingmen.

[jediofdoom]

Viper sent a message to the CIS to release their fighters. A droid answered with

"Yes, Viper, Sir"

Viper turned around and landed back on the pier. He turned and ran to the central command.

"It's starting. How many pilots do you have on the ground now?"

"Not many. Most of our pilots are in the alliance's cruisers"

"I see those you do have get them to a transport and get your men ready"

"Yes sir"

Viper turned around and strarted to ready the planetary defences

Meanwhile on the CIS cruiser above the CIS were releasing wave after wave of droid starfighters that engulfed the Tie fighters.....

[Jedi Atomic]

The sirens go off and Darrick jumps out of his bink hitting his head on the above bunk. "Damn it." he said rubbing his forehead. He hurried over to the hangar as the ships outside collided. Once he entered the hangar he noticed hardly any ships were in there from earlier. He hurried over to his ship as men were finishing setting the controls, and jumped into the cockpit and the ship soon hovered and he launched into space.

[Sebastian Vlay]

The droid pilot manuevered the boarding craft through space with every bit of skill he had. Corporal 221, and war buddies of squad 2301 were preparing themselves for combat. It could hear violent explosions outside of the ship, which jerked as it flew. Rusty old piece of junk, it thought.

 

A voice came over the intercom, barely heard over all the noise. "We have accessed the hangar of the Imperial Victory star destroyer. Brace yourselves."

 

221 heard a slight slam as the landing craft hit the hangar bay's floor. Then, the ramp began to slide out. Immediately, the seven battle droids poured out of the craft, blasters blazing a spectacular red. Trooper after trooper, 221 and his mates blasted each and every Imperial in the hangar bay. Then he met up near the elevator with them.

 

"Contact command," the corporal began. "Inform them that our squad has cleared the hangar, and that if they wish to capture and use this star destroyer for the Rebellion's purposes, then they must make their move now."

 

"Yes sir," another replied.

 

The squad's second-in-command walked up to unit 221.

 

"Sir, we must continue to move through the ship so that we can locate and destroy the auto-defense mainframe. In doing so, our comrades will make it to the hangar safely."

 

"Very well," 221 agreed.

 

Squad 221 began to move out after they had contacted the CIS's command ship. So far so good.

[J-hawk]

As J-hawk flies thought space dodging shot after shot he hear over his intercom that the CIS have taking over the west star destroyer. He confirms the message and call to all of his squad the 801st to head over to the west star destroyer to take it back.

 

All of his squad confirms and the start the attack. He warns his men that this is going to be the hardest mission of this battle. The intercom was quit for a moment but the sounds of shots breaks

the silent.

 

As he goes to the invaded star destroyer as he looks back to make sure he has enough men, he see that he to short of men and he thinks in his head, We’re and going to make it a live. Then he looks back to see that 10 or 12 droid fighters have launched from the destroyer.

 

He go head on head with 2 droid fighters he shots a missile and one blows up as so the other fighter starting firing at him he dodges them turns and fires but misses. Then out of nowhere a third fighter comes. He was trapped but then the third fighter blows up behind him. Over the intercom the sergeant, Your welcome, with a small laugh. Thanks he said back over the intercom. He turns and fires a 5 shots and the droid cracks. Then when 4 fighter were leaf another 10 came out.

 

He thinks that this is going to be non-ending. So over the intercom he said that the sgt. And 5 marines and 1 pilot to board the ship and that everyone is to attack the on coming fighter. Over the intercom he hears yes, sir.

 

As the group heads to the ship they was attacked by 3 fighters. So he tells a marine to attack them as so they slip by them but right after that he was blow upped. So he the sgt. 4 marines and 1 pilot aboard the ship. They start to shot the supers, he commands and marine and the pilot to blow the boarding ship up.

Name: Ventris Durant

Age: 20

Faction: Newly formed Empire

Class: Imperial Officer

Rank: Commander

Ship: Prototype Imperial Shuttle

Weapons: Blaster Pistol, small dagger

Bio: Ventris was in his late teens when the Republic began to transition into the new Galatic Empire. Ventris always had dreams of becoming an officer in the Republic but when the Empire was formed his dreams sky-rocketed and he left home to join the newly formed academy. Ventris has good tactical skills, though because he is young, he is over-eager. Because many of the republic officers were either clones or turned to the Rebels, Ventris was quickly put in command of his own Victory Class Star Destroyer.

 

(Out of character side note: First time role playing go easy on me )

[popcorn2008]

Ventris stood siliently as he watched the CIS droid fighters dog fight with the new TIE's that were recently placed under his command. He was watching from the command brige, of his newly crescened Victory Star Destroyer. So far, the battle had just began but he was highly suprised to discover that the CIS had so many fighters still under their control.

 

Suddenly alarms began to go off, proclaiming "Intruder Alert!" Ventris turned from his grand view of the battle to consult with his head of security.

 

"What is going on?" Ventris asked with a hint of anger that his auto turrents didnt shot down the invading boarding craft.

 

"A CIS Boarding craft has somehow managed to land into our hanger area. I am just now recieving reports that they have secured the hanger and are begining to move to the Auto Turrent Mainframe." The clone commander responded.

 

"We musn't allow those auto turrents to go off-line! Hurry and get a security team down there at once! Send our best clones, these CIS are not to be under estimated."

 

The clone commander looked down at his datapad, "Im recieving word that some pilots managed to take out the boarding craft. But I am afraid some battle droids are still making their way to the Mainframe"

 

"Get that team down there at once! Tell the pilots to help cut off the hanger as an escape. We will get them from the front and back." Ventris said.

 

At that, Ventris turned around back to his grand view of the battle field. Only to see a capital ship coming out of hyperspace, a ship he had never seen before...

[jediofdoom]

Viper waited in the pouring rain for the first wave of Imperial troops to arrive. He had revceived word that the alliance had released their fighters and in the confusion a Imperial troop carrier had been spotter heading towards the planet. Now viper had the rebel soldiers, clones and droids behind him ready to take this enemy down. The key to the mass number of reinforcements was that CIS had quikcly created a small droid facility which was making droids as they spoke. Also the clones were heard at work and more were being deployed every moment. Then they stopped. A new garrison was to be formed in case of needing back up. Viper looked into the rain filled sky and heard the noise of approaching craft. There were more carriers than he first thought. But no matter his troops were positioned all around the compound and landing areas. The first ship touched down a few feet away from the hidden Viper Squadron. A few stormtroopers exited guns raised. Viper waved his arm and all hell broke loose.....

[Jedi Atomic]

Darrick dodges a missile and shoots at a tie fighter hitting it's wing making it spin and crash into the star destroyer, exploding. He started towards the star destroyer shield generators to take out the shields, for the bomber to start their work. He noticed more tie fighters entering the hangar than leaving. must be something going on in there. he thought as he closed in on the shield generators. He fired a missile and it hit the sphere only exploding on the shell of the sphere. He quickly turned around and fired blaster bolts at it and some more proton torpedoes.

 

Soon enough the sphere shaped shield generator started exploding like a chain reaction. "One down one more to go." he laughed as he started around for the second shield generator sphere. After the explosion the clear blue of the shiled started flickering.

[J-hawk]

J-hawk was in the hanger bay killing all the supers he could see. Then the Sgt. yells to his Captain ,Sir we have word that the commander of the ship is sending a specials team down to help us and they ask if we can hold them from escaping the hanger bay. OK,

 

About dam time tell them we’ll try. Roger , Sir. And tell them i'm going to send for a boarding ship.After that he yells over the intercom , get a boarding ship here ASAP with as many soldier as possible and make sure they are so heaved escorted that you can’t ever see the ship. I hope we can hold them off for the specials team and boarding ship to get here

[popcorn2008]

Suddenly the Victory Star Destroyer was violently shaking in almost all directions. Ventris got himself up only to see on the status display that both shield generators had been destroyed and the hull was exposed.

 

Quickly, Ventris ran to his security officer.

 

"We aren't going to last much longer, prepair my shuttle for immediate take off," Ventris said, "and what is the status of the security team?"

 

"All Battledroids have been removed from the ship sir." The officer answered.

 

"Good news, if you survive your squad may just see a promotion." Ventris smiled as he began to walk out of the command brige.

 

"Oh, and sir we found this in the memory banks of the leader of the boarding party. It appears to be a memory chip of some sort," the officer illuminated the room with a holographic map of Kamino's surface.

 

"Excellent! I take it this waypoint is the where the enemies troops are meeting?" Ventris questioned.

 

"As far as we can tell, yes."

 

"Bombard that position immediately. I don't care for any civilian or friendly casualities. Our goal is to secure Kamino." Ventris said almost immediately.

 

"Yes, sir," his security officer responded, "oh and that ship you wanted me to identify isnt responding to our hails at all. It appears to not be on the rebellion side either."

 

"Keep me informed." At this Ventris walked off to the hanger as the sound of turbolasers spread through the ship, as Kamino was bombarded.

[Sebastian Vlay]

(popcorn2008, great job on the posts. I like the amount of detail and character depth you've been displaying. Very good.)

 

Corporal 221 watched through a small air duct's vent as the Imperials attempted to defeat the scattering droid invaders. It had overheard a few of the enemy officers discussing current tasks, revealing the ship commander's plans. A very effective set of plans they were. 221 was forced to watch its men be torn down to parts as they were cornered. Luckily it managed to find the air duct it was in was loose and not completely bolted down.

 

Find a terminal to connect to, it thought. If it could send a message back to the CIS's commanders, perhaps it would be able to make it off this ship. The corporal rotated in the duct and began crawling through the tunnels. In a few minutes of time, it had found its way out into a safe and secure hallway. 221 then walked throughout a system of halls, until he found a lounge. It had a terminal in it. But.... the ugly side of the room was that there were enemy -

 

"Halt! Hands up, drop your weapons." A voice came from behind.

 

"Uhhh." 221 began.

 

If it allowed itself to be captured, there would be a little escape chance. But if it acted in anyway to be damaged or retarded on a standard basis, it could mean it would be escorted to the maintenence section of the ship. And where there's a maintenence area, there's bound to be some terminals.

 

That was a plan-in-action.

 

"Uh, who 'Gun?'" 221 asked in a dull manner.

 

"Your weapon. Drop it on the floor," the other replied.

 

"Gun be friend to -" The battle droid collapsed before finishing; shutting itself down.

[Jedi Atomic]

He soon gets a report that all the droids have been illminated inside the capital ship. He decided to fly over to the hangar and land.

 

While heading towards the hangar a Tie Fighter started firing behind his tail so he tried evading it but soon was hit on the wing. Darrick spun around in circles towards the planet. He tried to slow the ship down because he knew he wasn't going to make it back into space, now that he was inside the planet's atmosphere. He managed to level the fighter out and stop the spinning.

 

He soon noticed the buildings above the water come into view.

[J-hawk]

Sir we have reports that the ship is free from all droids. Thank you Sgt. We also have word that the ship isn't going to make it, we need to get out.

 

Ok, get my ship right for take off. O and one more thing they have found a memory bank they think its a waypiont where all the enemies troops are meeting, and they are bombarding it right now, OK tell me when the bombard is done. Mean will get all of the 801st ready to land on Kamino. Roger.

[jediofdoom]

In moments the imperial dropship was destroyed. Viper killed the final storm trooper and looked up. He watched as green blurs came at them

"Ready?"

"Yes sir"

"...NOW!"

A shield appeared protecting the clone and droid facility and soldiers. It shuddered. It wasn't supposed to handle this much punishment. Viper just hoped it could hold out. He radiod his CIS command ship in space;

"Take out that ship that is firing at the planet!"

"Sir, we have lost the droids that have entered the ship"

"I see...Get the fighters to take out it's cannons and turrets"

"Yes sir"

Viper looked over at the other platforms. They had cheated death this time but the imperials now knew what they were dealing with and would be better prepared bext time....

[popcorn2008]

(By the way, thanks Sebastian Vlay for your compliments )

 

He felt cold, terribly cold. In fact he was shaking, he only prayed that his superior officer wouldnt notice his fear.

 

Ventris was sitting in his private chamber of his imperial shuttle. Looking at what would soon be the image of his commanding superior, what would be the image of a disapointed commanding superior. Slowly he pushed the side button on the holographic projector, creating a direct connection to Coruscant, capital of the Galatic Empire.

 

Ventris knew what he had done was not imperial at all, he left all his men, all his friends, to die on board the half dead star destroyer in orbit above Kamino. He left scared, for the first time, scared of the enemy. Never had any traitors been so organized, so precise in their efforts. His last minute bombardment decesion was his last mistake. The energy drained from the turbo laser shots had all but deminished what reserve energy was left in the reactor. He could only pray that any of his men escaped aboard the emergency escape pods.

 

Then, slowly, appeared the image of a pale yet terrifying superior officer, Grand Moff Tarkin. Leader of the war against the rebellious traitors, he would not accept failure, and Ventris knew that.

 

"What seems to be the problem?" Tarkin asked, "I was busy."

 

"Sir, the battle over Kamino..." Ventris stopped mid-speech. In the corner of his eye, he saw the image of his parents displayed on a holograph picture. They never survived to see his acceptance into the academy. They both died that fateful day when Order 66 was issued. Killed, no slain by the traitorous Jedi Master on Mygetto. At least, that is what the reports said. Ventris didn't know otherwise.

 

"What about it?" Tarkin questioned, this time with a deadly mix of concern and anger.

 

"I have lost, sir. The Rebels have allied themselves with a rogue group of CI..."

 

"The CIS, do not concern me Commander Ventris. They are all but destroyed. Your mission was to destroy the rebels. Apparently my trust was not well placed in you." Tarkin spoke angerly.

 

"Give me one more chance." For my parents. Ventris thought.

 

"Go to the coordinates I provide you," Tarkin spoke coldly, "there will will rendevou with two Imperial warships. Take them to Kamino and show the dissidents imperial justice," Tarkin said chillingly, "and Ventris do not fail the Empire again. I am the least of your worries."

 

Slowly the hologram faded out. This time, Ventis thought, I will not fail.
