"Don't look at me, I'm not their interior decorator." said Karite looking around, he would have to say he did agree with Hatori. They couldn't have picked a more interesting place to train the new generation of Jedi. Hatori hadn't been clear on exactly what they were going to do once they encountered the jedi but the mission still remained the same. Find the Army of Light, and he figured he'd go from there. He wondered if Jaylen had made it or whether or not he had died in the desert of Tattooine.

Elifains longsword dropped out of hyperspace, and moved towards the planet, without much of a problem. He sensed that there were more force sensitives in the area. He quickly found those that he had followed here, and moved his ship to land in their general area. Either this will turn out well, or will be blown out of proportions, but whatever... He said to himself.

Ash's Sentinal shuttle exited hyperspace ahead of his battle group. They Were a few light-minutes behind. Ash was back in his custom armor, now fully polished during his trip here. His helmet was off as he piloted the shuttle.
He instantly felt the presance of Karite, and Ash let his mind envelope the other. It was close to a meld, but because of their time training together, it was different.
Jor mentioned something about more training, and the making of a lightsaber. I was hoping to remain under Jor's teaching long enough to make my own, but I will just need to make due later. Head down to the surface while I'll take care of the space forces. [/i] Ash felt a familier twinge as Elifain came out of hyperspace. He ignored it and opened communications with Saucy Mare. The rest of Ash's ships dropped out of hyperspace on time, and started to set up the standard defensive web around Jor''s star destroyer: Courage Dorsal, Aqua Diamond and Midnight Strike ventral. Settle 1 was aft and Ember Tide and Disaster were Aft. Thr rest of the fleet spread way out in a very loose formation. Six stealth x's launched after the two longsword gunships, but he touched Elifain's and Karite's mind that it was for show. Finally, Ash had his connection as the shuttle was dragged into the nebula's star destroyer's hanger. This is Ash Lightning to Sausy Mare. I believe you will have some company soon, and I assume that these longswords aren't your friends? Let me take care of them. I suggest you keep everyone on board if they are still. Can you have Jor get into contact with me?[/i] Ash was using his armor to tap into his ship's communication network to talk. His fleet wasn't powerless, as it. outgunned Jor's flotilla, and he couldn't help but smile as he made his way to the Courage's bridge. All shields were up for Ash's fleet, and weapons were on low charge, the sign of a good defense. He waited for a reply.[/center][/sub]

Drake climbed into the dragoon after Jor and Elisa did he sat back and cracked his neck. "So..." he started to say closing his eyes "I have that sinkin feelin again" he told Jor "You know the same one like something incrediably frustrating is about to happen" he said letting out a long drawn out sigh "I bet I don't get my drink or chicks again" he said to Jor as he waited to head out.

Rita walked onto the bridge and looked out the viewport. Ships were exiting hyperspace and moving into position around them. "Report." She said calmly.
The captain came over to her. "They just arrived. Communications from them say their going after a pair of longswords that entered the area not to long ago but their forming up around us.
"What longswords?" Rita asked, her face set in stone.
The captain walked over to a chart table and brought up the sensor logs from the memory. A holo of the first Longsword came up as it went for the planet. "Her IFF all checked out. It's a civilian craft, registered to some guy named Karite. It sounded familiar but i figured it was just scavengers looking for some scrap. Raxis Prime as a lot of them."
"Karite?" Rita said, more to herself then anyone. Her head tilted as data processed through her system. When she found the information she was looking for she plugged herself into the holotable and an image of a Refinery popped up on the holoprojector. "This refinery was targeted by the Cydonian Knights months ago because it was channeling it's profits to an Imperial backer. The owner of the refinery is listed as one Non Human by the name of Karite."
The captain's eyebrows shot up. "He's an imperial?"
Rita nodded. "Or closely affiliated with them. He's also impressivly rich. Not a scavenger. there are precious few things on raxis prime he'd be looking for. One of those things, is us."
She unplugged herself from the holotable and turned to the rest of the bridge. "Shields up, full power to weapons!" Her head tilted sideways again as she accessed the com system and started talking through the Dragoons com board. "Jor, the Imperials have found us. We're surrounded. Ash Lightning is back and he has a fleet."
Jor slammed his fist into the yolk. "God dammit! That whiny, muscle bound, roid rage, tiny brained, son of a bitch ass hole. Drake, Get out of the shuttle we're going to find us something with bigger guns on it. Genie, get back to the Training room, Bubbles make sure she goes. Elisa stay where you are! Everyone else on board who can fight better elsewhere, get off of the boat!" Jor barked loudly.
He climbed out of the pilot seat and exited the shuttle. "Pilot get the fuck back in there and get that shuttle off my deck. Chief! I need a clawcraft fueled and ready, on the deck 5 minutes ago."
Hanger crews started buzzing about. The captain on the bridge picked up his intercom and keyed it. "All hands, General quarters, General Quarters! All hands man your battle stations!"

Ash's eyes darkened as he waived his hand. At once, all the turrents on Courage opened fire, mainly at the heavier turrents on Jor's ship before she could fully bring up her shields. Some of Courage's fire found its way to the bridge. All fighters launched came out of hiding behind the distant Night Assassin, Flying in formation around Wild Thing.
Hidden Flash and Night Stalker Uncloaked themselves right by the hanger, and loaded it with fire before any ships had the chance to scramble, then melted away, but not before Night Stalker sent a message to the third fleet. DestroyerLaunched a number of missles right into the star destroyer's engines. Then All ships rapidly backed away, still unloading their fire. Night Assassin Brought up her gravidy well projectors, bearing them to the battle area. Every ship nearby opened fire on the Saucy Mare. Ash opened communicatons with the star destroyer.
Jor, Surrender. I have enough strength to decimate you, though I dont want to hurt you or anyone else there. Please power off all systems and come, but quietly or not is up to you.
Ember Tide Backed way off, falling into the fighter formation. Now it was up to Jor to make his decision. [/sub]

Angel stood over the holographic projection of what was happening around her planet. The longsword gunships were no threat and she knew Jor was not one either. She however did not trust the Mandalorian. She looked as he deployed Stealth X fighters and laughed. She had already deployed Spyglass satellites throughout the system before even Jor had arrived. The entire system was full of particles.
She quickly wrote a message on a code that only Rita would know how to break. She hit the send button and waited for a response. It read: Angel here. Sister, you seem in a pickle, would you like assistance of the Maw Fleet. Angel got her response instantly which confirmed that they would like assistance.
Angel smiled as she turned to the ship. "Attack" She said. The attack plan was uploaded to each fighter and capital ship in a nanosecond and followed the orders without question. The fighters took off towards the enemy ships and the her own capital ships which included four StingerSwarms and Raptor class corvettes formed a defensive acre around the Basestar and Enterprise. The Hudson launched pulse mines towards the Mandalorian fleet. At the same time Angel sent the cloakbuster data to the Mare Saucy so she could see the stealth ships also.
The fighters quickly arrived at the battle and attacked. 120 CHF-18 Legionnaire in twelve squadrons came at the Courage in three waves of four. This meant that three waves of 320 Proton Rockets raised towards the Nebula class star destroyer. It was an attack that no ship could stand up against. Meanwhile the 20 K-wings also got into firing range of the Midnight Strike and launched there own proton missile strike against it. They were able to launch 360 Proton Rockets thanks to their weapon pylon system. The 20 missile boats headed to engage the cloaked ship with just attacked the Mare Saucy, using the information feed to them by the cloakbuster on the Hudson to track it and launch proton torpedoes at it. The 20 fast Y-35 also used the cloakbuster information to engage the six stealth X starfighters groups of three with one leading the attack and the other two covering his tail. This left the 20 XJ3 X-wing starfighter to attack the Dark Assassin with a proton torpedo run at its bridge. The massive attack was only a fraction of the Maw fleets power which it had to deploy to this system, but for safety Angel sent for the remaining Maw ships to come to their aid. Angel expected losses, but the enemy was going to be sorry for picking on one of her sapient droid siblings.
Meanwhile Elisa remained in the shuttle waiting for launch as everyone left. "This is just great, another battle." She said to herself, not like all this fighting.

Elifain moved down to join with karite's ship, on the surface, and climbed out, looking around, before directing his vision to karite and hatori. Nice day for a walk. eh? he said calmly, to the two. He recognized karite, but not fully, the other man. He was about to introduce him, when he got a ping on his communicater, and as he opened it, it said, light hunters deployed... What the hell? He thought to himself. _______________________________________ a moment after Elifain read his comm ping, the Lysander class carrier, Two for flinching, which was flanked by the Faith, and Werda, 2 venator class star destroyers, 20 tie interceptors, 20 torrent starfighters, 5 bombers, 10 longswords, and 4 stealth-x's all dropped out of hyperspace, and moved out into the area. They quickly picked up the FF transponders as all being hostile, but took out the ships registered as lightning clans personal ships, which left a hell of alot on the board. The intercepters hanging back, the 20 V-19 torrents, and 10 longsword class ships took off, followed by the 4 stealth-x's, packed with their bunker buster missiles, and 5 bombers. This is the light hunters... someone call for an exterminator? The leader of shadow gaurd squadron of V-19's said, as his ships hit the gas, trying to get to the mandalorian ships. The 2 venators took aim on the leading maw defense cluster ship, with thier DBY-827's, on long range mode, and fired. The lysander stood back, with the intercepters, and 2 venators, watching as its fighters and gunships sped forward. _________________________________________________ Rolands 3 ships dropped out of hyperspace, outside of the battlefield, but quickly cought up on the events from sensors. He watched as his brothres of the lightning fleet engagued, and a fleet of empirial ships sped in to assist them. Dam... this won't end well... He said, as he watched the maw ships launch their waves of fighters, before opening a long range comm link to mandalores ship. We found the lightnings. They are engaging the army of light. What should we do. they have imperial assistance.

"one fourth impulse! Auxiliary power to shields! BRACE!" The captain yelled as the initial impact of so many batteries firing hit the ship. The hull of the ship took a barrage of hits before the shields raised and started absorbing them. the conning tower had some damage to it but the lurch forward of the engines had been enough to throw the fire off target. The welders were going to earn their paycheck after this one though.
The Captain picked himself up off the floor and looked out the viewport. The reinforced transparasteel had blackened around the edges and a spider crack had formed in the corners but it held. "Damage control team to the bridge!" He shouted.
Rita, who had not fallen over in the attack, examined the situation. "All stop! Full power from the engines to the shields!" She shouted. "All power from the dorsal guns to the Ventral guns. All Ventral guns target the Victory II class Star destroyer."
The ship rumbled a bit from another barrage of fire but a chorus of acknowledgments rang about the bridge. "Ventral Ion cannons, Fire!"
The Saucy Mare let loose with a barrage of 30 ion cannons from her ventral side against the Aqua Diamond. Rita counted down 1.349563 seconds before saying "All Ventral guns, Fire!"
Another barrage of 30 guns, this time of heavy turbolasers, was let lose at the Victory II class Star destroyer.
She didn't wait for a attack report, instead she changed strategies. "one third power to engines, accelerate us to max speed and set a collision coarse for that Acclimator. All weapons power to the main batteries, target the settle 1 and fire at will.
Seconds after she said it the ship started forward again and her main batteries began firing. 8, octuple super heavy turbolasers, with all the ships weapons engery pouring through them, opened up on settle 1.
Jor was just finishing the power up on his Clawcraft and was waiting for the green light. he liked the ball cockpit a lot better. It was a pain for him to climb into but it offered a lot more room for his bulkier form. The light over his canopy changed from red to green and the deployment doors opened. Jor's clawcraft "fell" into space along with the rest of the Falcons. Over on the port side the King Ravens would be doing similar and the airspace would be filled with TIE Interceptors, Clawcraft and TIE Bombers.
"All flights, this is Tin Man. Pair it up and fly defensively. Keep an eye on your friendly markers, there's a lot of green dots up here so don't get em mixed with your red dots. Watch your wingman and stay tight. Ripcord your with me." Jor said and hauled on the stick. The clawcraft spun and he headed down for the Aqua Diamond.

The Jedi were no where to be found on the planet's surface but it didn't take a force sensitive to figure out where the action was. The skies above were stirring with activity. Hatori's eyes slowly peeled back as he craned his head upwards, "Hmph... Mandalorians... so uncivilized," he said to himself, glancing over at Elifain as he arrived on the scene, "It would seem any attempt we may have had at making a quiet entrance has come to an abrupt end... be ready Karite, and don't forget the mission."

Drake sighed "Damn I was planning on relaxin too" he said as he climbed out the shuttle he punched his fist into his palm "I swear I'm gonna make that idiot Ash wear his ass as a hat...I'm not sure if thats physically possible but I'm sure as hell gonna find out" he said thinking outloud. He turned to Jor "So what do you suggest Jor, ya said something with bigger guns" he told him, "Hmm maybe my cobra..." he said acting as if he was thinking, though the only thing on his mind was strangling Ash.

Ash's eyes widened as he watched as countless red blips showed up. He felt fluctuatons in the force, and instantly paled.
All ships, full retreat. Regroup at Endor. All marines and those alike, to the Sentinal shuttle. everyone else, to an escape pod. Send fleet wide alert to do the same. Helm, move out of the way and try to get some of those torps to hit Jor. Weapons, all fire at the torps and fighters, then get out.
Ash was glad to be very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was out of the bridge falling down a turbolift shoot, heading down as fast as he could before the proton torpedoes made it to the Courage. He felt his ship shift before all power went out. He hoped it would hold.
In seconds, Ash made it to the hanger, and he jumped out into the ruined hallway. He sprinted, heading for his shuttle, the only way out of the hanger. Several troopers were ready, and the power was up and it was about to lof off. Ash Jumped in, and the ship flew out, cut all but life support, and fell into orbit as another piece of scrap.
Outside, there was hell. Courage was nothing but a hulk, and her form carried her right into Jor's star destroyer. Dark Assassin, Midnight Strike, and Midnight Strike were instantly wasted, but the fighters, Wild Thing, and Healing Savior, Which were outside the pulse mines, managed to escape into hyperspace. Aqua DiamondFired all weapons into the hanger, hoping to take out what they could, before turning to ram the larger ship and self distructing. Hidden Flash With her impressive speeds, was able to get out of firing range and was running away, and was making a jump to lightspeed.
It would seem that the only survivors were Ash and his shuttle, the fighters, taung carrier, and a Healing Savior. The shuttle was an invisible wad of metal as it fell, and soon it held itself in the clouds on light power. [/sub]

"Right, well then follow me. Elifain I'm going to need a Wingman to get into that ship of theirs." said Karite turning back and starting up his Longsword. Hatori followed soon behind and they blasted full speed up towards the space battle. Hell was already breaking loose but it was time to us this chaos to their advantage. "Here goes nothing."
Karite hopped Elifain was right on his ass, because he wasn't stopping for anything. "Lock in load Elifain," said Karite as he piloted the ship into the battlezone heading for the Hanger bay, if they tried to close the hangerbay he was gonna blast straight through into the ship, all they needed was covering fire. "Alright Wings from above we are gonna need some covering fire, we're going in hot."
Mandalore did not pick up right away, however some of Clan Ordo did. "Mandalore's orders are to watch, and not to engage. I repeat not to engage. We aren't here to be aggressors. Ordo out."

Drake climbed into his Cobra and pulled off as Jor's vessle and his men launched "Wait up" he called as he flew into formation with them. He pulled up on Jor's left "Alright Strange, whats the plan?" he asked him as he steadied his fighter to match speed with Jor and the others, he was ready for a fight more or less though he really hated flying. He heard the plan Jor had laid out for them "Got ya" he said as pulled downward following Jor's craft to supply cover fire or be a decoy either or.
