Angel sat in her room looking at the video from the Jack Makura. The planet was being destroyed in this fight. She came to a quick conclusion, that the Emperor may need to retreat. If that was the case he would need the sky's cleared. This could be her chance to not only help the Emperor but also get reconized. She could possible be even promoted. She walked over to a terminal and accessed it. "I need a shuttle to the Executor-Class Star Dreadnought Harbinger. Pick up point is the roof of the Academy." She said as she grabbed her Ysalamiri bag and walked toward the roof. She stood their for a minute until a Gamma-Class Assault Shuttle arrived and picked her up.
Angel rode up to the ship and walked on board. She quickly made her way to the bridge. "Send a message to Coruscant. "The following ships are to head to Nar Shaddaa at maximum speed. IMS Lightning, IMS Saber, IMS Vong and IMS Spearmen." She had ordered on of the Lancers and three of the CR-90 Blockade Runners. This should be enough forces to secure the space above the planet she thought. She then turned to the Captain. "We are also heading there, I want to arrive at nearly the same time as the ship from Coruscant, so I will do the calculations." She did them quickly and handed them off. After the Harbinger collected its fighters it jump to hyperspace.
Meanwhile Celestial listened to Bermfad and Canderous talk. Once they were finished she turned to Bermfad and kept him in the shuttle. "Your grandfather is under a lot of stress. Contradictory to most peoples believes, he is a follower not a leader." She said softly so no Mandalorians other then Bermfad could hear it. "Just given him a little extra space, and in the end his heart well lead him to the right conclusion. It always does." She said before setting back down in the shuttle.

The Mjolnir dropped out of hyperspace, just as the executor jumped out, and moved towards the planet, noting the mandalorian ships in orbit. Roland quickly hit the communications array to an encripted channel, that was used by mandalore alone, and said in mandalorian, Mandalore, the empire has begun to raise nar shadaa! Zilfer is fighting on the side of the civilians, and Elifain has joined him. You will give your loyalty's to those who would harm the innocents, who can't fight back? You once said that we were looking for a challenge, well I give you one now! The empire is that challenge we need, and has shown their bloodlust on many fronts. You did not do anything then, but I ask you now, On the blood of Ash, and the lives the empire has cut short, do not let this be the mandalorians fate, to serve as the brutes of a Tyrant! He quickly sent the video feed of the falling building, and the lives of those stuck around it being cut off before the video's sorce began running. The camera cut off, and Roland yelled, Scans show a ship, or ships have jumped away after we arived, and i ask, what do you think their purpose was? Nar shadaa is about to be destroyed if we do not stop them! If you will sit by, and let these people be killed, Thier deaths are on your shoulders. Wake up to the madness you have engulfed us in! He quickly brought up pictures that had been aquired of the planet myrkr, and corellia, after the battle, and put them up on the screen next to the live feed. Or would you rather this be the fate of Mandalore next... He stepped back, and awaited his answer.

Sometime Later....
Mandalore calmly walked up to Raiku, and the others that where training around her. He was flanked by five Mandalorians on each side, some carrying what looked like bags of ammo. "It seems you have a malfunction...." and almost as soon as Mandalore finished his sentence an explosion rocked the planetary shield generator. His men had planeted numerous thermol detonators, and frag grenades, all with the help of Mandalore, and their training at taking out any who would have questioned them further then necessary. Over fifty Mandalorians where on the surface of Korriban. Friendly Fire began to erupt nearby as Mandalore crossed his arms guns pointed every which direction and he drew his two Westar's from his sides, and the Mandalorians around him did the same. He didn't fear however, for mixed among his forces where Elite infantry that had donned Mandalorian armor and kept Ysalamiri in their weapon packs. So any force used against his group wouldn't go through.
"So lets dance imperials, we'll give you real training!" yelled Mandalore as they opened fire.
Earlier.....
Mandalore received the message from Roland, and it was now that he knew what he needed to do. He put up a projection of it to the men gathered around the carrier. After that he played the recording of Ash's death.
"I was waiting for this. My brothers.... sons and daughters of Mandalore.... As you can see Elifain, and Roland are right. The empire cannot be our ally if we are too regain the mandalorian honor. Victory without honor is not a victory. I cannot stand by any longer and say we fight by those who would dishonor us with their tactics, and it's time they are shown that while we may strive for victory it isn't mindless killing that fuels us! The death of each one of our brothers is sacred, for Ash did not betray our creed he died a Mandalorian the same as any! The deaths of innocents is unacceptable, as you may know the massacre of Cathar was commited ruthlessly and have shamed our names. Revan bore the mask of the only mandalorian who stood up what was right on Cathar and she died for it. That is why Revan won during the Mandalorian wars, because our Honor was tarnished, and during that time we were allied once again with the Sith. This time however it shall not be so. Their actions are laid before you now, the brutality of them, and never more shall a Mandalorian stay his blade for a sith. May chaos take them! I ask for volunteers to show them the true fighting power of the Mandalorians, to show the empire that they may have the force... but we have Beskar'gam!" said Mandalore and a shouting roar from the crowd in the ship went up. Mandalore was relaying this message back to Roland. "I only need fifty volenteers."
"I'm coming with you." said Bermfad straight away however, Mandalore shoot his head. "I told you once before, my next battle was going to be my last, once the shields go down... you know what to do."
"You can't be serious..." muttered bermfad almost incoherently. Mandalore turned to Celestial and HK-47. "IF he doesn't pull the trigger you do it, I know Bermfad will lead the Mandalorian's to a shining future. Come Vode, lets show the empire the might of our steel."
Mandalore once upon the ship took one last look at a stunned Bermfad, then looked at Lana. "You take care of him alright? Bermfad's going to need a tit to suckle before this is through." said Mandalore giving his grandson hidden humor he hardly ever showed. While taking off the helmet of Mandalore and tossing it to Bermfad who caught it. The ship soon sealed and took off towards the surface like was planned that the Mandalorians would take part in training the imperials and training their own together.
Bermfad held his fist tight around the mask. "Damn you old man.... why do you get to go down in flames of glory...." Bermfad slammed his crushgaunt against metal for a moment. "Damnit, stop standing around get to your stations, we got a war to fight. Don't go acting suspicious either, continue as you where until the shield goes down! Now scram!"
Bermfad headed towards the bridge where he assumed most of the group would follow as Mandalore's ship headed down. It wasn't too long before the shield went down, it was now he hesitated for the briefest moments. Celestial spoke then, "Mandalore is doing this so we could live in a world which he couldn't. May you find as much honor in the next life as this one my old friend."
"Do it." said Bermfad with confidence in his voice, yet still pain of what he was doing hurt him inside. The Kandosii's unleashed multiple super heavy concussion missiles that acted like nukes and had destroyed multiple planets during the mandalorian wars with just a few barrages. Twelve missiles from each of the 2 Kandosii dreadnoughts descended upon the planet aimed straight for the Sith temple and training facilities everything would be wiped clean.
"Now focus fire upon the remaining Imperial ships, before they know what's going on!" said Bermfad as Dragoons accompanied by squadrons of Starviper assault platform' fighters poured out of the Mandalorian ships, and 3 Taung class carriers formed up training most of their fire on the Corvette that was left behind to take it out quickly. The hundred Starviper attack platforms unleashed their loads of proton torpedoes into the Interdictor, and if should any fighters come out to play the dragoons accompanying each flight of starvipers would send out their drones to confuse enemy targeting systems. The Kandosii's followed up their missle barrage with the over kill of turbolasers pounding the surface of Korriban.
Back on the surface, as the bombs began to approach the point where it no longer mattered, which wasn't long Mandalore breathed in a deep breath. He knew not even the force would save them from the amount of missiles coming down at the surface and how much destructive power each of them packed. Let alone the fourty Ysalamiri spread into one bubble across the place left the possibility of any force users being able to sense the missiles impossible. Also even if they did manage to sense them, the missiles could detonate at thousands of feet in the air and still prove deadly, for those on the surface of Korriban, it was at an end.
"Forgive me..." said Mandalore before the missiles struck exploding and wiping all memory of Canderous Ordo, once Mandalore. Leaving only Bermfad newly crowned Mandalore to lead the Mandalorians into a shining new future, one he knew that with his sacrifice would never join the Sith ever again.....

As the missiles started to fall, roland gave out a hoot, and his 10 missile boats, 50 tie defenders, 40 intercepters and 40 v19's hit the gas, straight out of the hangers of the mjolnir, and joined the fray. fighters, led by roland himself, in 1 of the 5 longswords that joined in, cut a wedge through to his brothers. Hail mandalore. We will fight with you once more. Our swords are yours. He said, as his fighters cut off, the interceptors and defenders scattering amongst the mandalorian fleet, while the fighter ships moved to take on any stragglers that the mandalorians didn't get. The Mjolnir held back, prepairing to fire the rail guns where needed.

Lana followed Bermfad and they met up with Mandalore. Lana looked around as she followed hem not know what was going on but listened to Mandalore talk with Bermfad. She remembered Elifain he was that guy she yelled at for being with the Empire. When did he join the Mandalorians? She knew he didn't have loyalty to the Empire, seriously who could? Who would how loyalties to a sith bastard. She later had come to realize that the Mandalorians were somehow allies with the Empire. 'What the fuck is going on here!?! When did any of this happen, was a training with Bermfad long enough for the world to end?' She thought to herself off-handily. Mandalore mentioned that Elifain left the Mandalorians. Lana thought ' Does this man have no loyalties at all, probably has no honor either.' Then he said the reason was because of the Empire and that Mandalore should break away from the Empire and she thought, ' Geez even I could tell you that the Empire is bad...' Then Lana saw the Emperor of the Sith and she went wide eyed and looked at Bermfad questioningly.
"What are we doing meeting up with Him!?!"
She asked quietly but emphatically. She listened and stayed quiet through the whole conversation except when Bermfad made his remarks she made quiet giggles, holding back the laughs inside. As Mandalore instructed Bermfad to take her and the others on the ship she stood firm and nodded, then followed Bermfad on his way out.
As they walked away from the Emperor and Mandalore Lana turned to Bermfad.
"What was going on back there? Why are the Mandalorians allied with the Empire when we already new they were bad news?"
She followed him the rest of the way onto the ship.
As Mandalore boarded the ship and hinted that he was going to sacrifice himself to take out some of the Empires men Lana looked stunned along with Bermfad. Then Mandalore made a joke about Bermfad needing her tit to suckle and Lana crossed her arms and frowned but let it go because he was going to die soon.
"I would say good luck but... well... It was great knowing you, for the short time I did, I'll just leave it that, sir!"
And she saluted him as he left. She then turned to Bermfad who was angered and almost crying and holding the helm of Mandalore. She did not give him her tit as suggested but she did pat him on the back.
"I... I'm sorry..."
Was all she could say to him. She didn't know Mandalore was his grandfather but she could see he held Mandalore with high importance to him. She felt sorry that she couldn't be more supportive, but she didn't know him or Mandalore that well. As the call was made and the bombs went off Lana looked out the window and muttered to herself and to anyone else willing to hear.
"Goodbye brave leader, may you rest in peace eternally..."
Then she looked over to Bermfad and thought to herself. 'Today is the dawn of a new brave leader, I know he will make Mandalore proud!' then she looked away.

The CR90 corvette, Belial exited hyperspace over the planet Korriban, finding the space around the planet engulfed in conflict as a contingent of Mandalorian ships engaged a wayward Imperial fleet, apparently catching them in some form of a surprise ambush as the Imperial lines appeared disorganized and unprepared in comparison to the Mandalorain fleet which was well within the process of laying siege to both the Imperial fleet, and the surface of Korriban itself.
Observing the battle from a distance, the Kaleesh crossed his harms over his chest and regarded the conflict with a keen tactical mind, his yellow eyes peering out from the shadows of his mummu skull helm as short burst of green and red laser fire intermingled with orange explosions to distort the distant space between them and the engagement.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" A voice beckoned from behind him, belonging to that of his closest personal ally, Cheklev. A Clawdite shape shifter that he had met near one of the moons of Jabiim that was going by the cover name "Ghost" at the time.
"I am certain. What the Mandalorians lack as a species, they make up for as warriors of honor. Warriors with an enemy as common as my own." The Kaleesh replied, his gaze never breaking from the distant fight.
"But they are human by nature, they will only bring more destruction...." Ghost pessimistically added.
"It is regrettable, but their crusade is in line with my own and I cannot ignore the opportunity. The Empire must fall for progress to be made for our kind."
The bridge to the corvette fell silent for a moment before the Kaleesh relaxed his posture and instructed his Chiss pilot, Voss to take them into the fray.
"Fire the engines, approach the Mandalorian fleet cautiously and hail them. Let them know our allegiance is with their cause." The last words of his order were among some of the most difficult he ever had to formulate. He would have never predicted himself as being willing to ally himself with the human race in order to bring its most despised regime to its knees. But this is the price one must pay for victory. Unpleasant deeds must be done by those who would prefer not to do them in order for success to be your prize.
Reacting to the order in silence, Voss fired up the engines on the Belial and maneuvered them closer to the fight, opening up a transmission frequency to the Mandalorian fleet as they drew closer to the battle.
"Are we in range for transmission?" The Kaleesh asked, watching the distant specks of fire and destruction slowly grow into the more discernible shapes of battered ships and destroyed fighters.
Voss gave a quick nod as he kept his focus on piloting the ship.
Moving to his holoprojection panel, the Kaleesh opened up a live feed from his ship to any receiving Mandalorian ships in the area and began transmitting his message.
"Hail proud warriors of Mandalore, I am Vaduminas san Sk'ar, commander of the Belial and voice for the oppressed. For too long alien species have suffered under the tyranny of the Empire, I seek an allegiance with your kind to end this undue suffering and repay the Emperor and his corrupt Empire for their transgressions. I and my men are able, we are willing, and we are eager for battle."

OOC sorry cain but i'm responding to only gamov in this post so shh.
Bermfad on the bridge of Fist of Mandalore received the call from another ship entering the area. Had a call been raised by the empire to have their fleets return to korriban?
"Hail proud warriors of Mandalore, I am Vaduminas san Sk'ar, commander of the Belial and voice for the oppressed. For too long alien species have suffered under the tyranny of the Empire, I seek an allegiance with your kind to end this undue suffering and repay the Emperor and his corrupt Empire for their transgressions. I and my men are able, we are willing, and we are eager for battle."
No, it was someone else, Allies it appeared. Bermfad had to admit to himself he hadn't expected anyone to show up, besides the Mandalorians of his clan. "This is Ber- Mandalore above the Fist of Mandalore any help you can give will prove beneficial to our cause. We can save the formalities for later, I'm about to issue the order to Jam all communications so if you have a response make it quick." said Bermfad in response to the newcomers ship, and motioned for a message to be send to Mandalore informing some of the Mandalorian fleet that was above Mandalore to prepare for battle and the situation there on Korriban.

Sk'ar offered no response to Mandalore's message, only a respectful bow of his head before he closed his communication channel and returned to the task of preparing the Belial for combat.
"I still don't think this is the most tactical move we can make." Ghost lamented. "This war between the Empire and the Mandalorians, we would stand to benefit more by operating on the fringes of the battle. Somewhere where we aren't readily seen."
"Your opposition is noted, my friend." Vaduminas answered, sidestepping the Clawdite and making his way to assume command of his ship in the battle from a nearby holotable. "But this is an opportunity that cannot be passed up. Not if our common goal is to be achieved. Alone we cannot hope to match the Empire. Our need for a strong ally is elemental to our success."
Ghost sighed heavily at his Kaleesh friend's stubborn nature. Once his mind was set, there was little changing it. For months now, he had spoken of taking on the Empire and finding a suitable ally to fight along side in his endeavor. His personal crusade had consumed his vision, his goals, his ambitions. Everything had centered around the single conspiracy to topple the Imperial regime. Almost to the fault of ignoring the possibility of personal injury or death he soldiered forward with his plans, gathering men, material and finances for a coming war that he, and perhaps only he, could see on the distant horizon of history.
Stepping to his cohorts side, Ghost joined Sk'ar's unflinching gaze at the holographic representation of the space beyond their ship. Korriban, surrounded by dozens of other larger ships, appeared almost placid in the cool blue hue of the projection. An image the belied the true carnage that was now turning the planet's orbit into a burning graveyard.
Vaduminas regarded the situation with a cold, calculating tactical mind, working to find a weakness to exploit in the aid of his new found allies in the Mandalorians. The Imperial fleet was disorganized, caught off guard. But given time, they would re-organize into a formidable force to challenge the Mandalorian fleet. Analyzing as many tactical approaches to the situation as possible, Sk'ar finally found his opening.
"Voss, double forward shields and take us in. Form up with the Taung Carriers. Everyone else, get to a battle station and prepare for combat." His words were delivered with derision beneath an unforgiving tone. His eyes never flinched or left the holographic projection in front of him, his mind consumed by the thought that finally, after all of this time, he had been given the opportunity to avenge the transgressions of the Empire. Not only for himself, but for all alien species who had been wronged by their iron willed rule.

Roland smirked as more men fell into the growing fleet. He quickly flew his ship, temporarily replacing werda, towards the Mandalorian capitol ship, and said, Mandalore. The sith are still assulting Nar Shadaa, and our brothers and sisters there, as well as massicreing the civilian population. I request we join the fight there, and deal another great strike to the Empire. over the mandalorian battle net. The Mjolnir started turning towards the fleet, and flew towards it, hearing the message, captain T'lan waited for a reply. As he finished, The Hellbound dropped out of hyperspace, damaged, and venting atmosphere, but still flying proudly. Mandalorian fleet, We have returned, with news. A super star destroyer, and a Nebula class cruiser under an imperial colors has taken the airspace above nar shadaa. If this war we have kicked off has started, then i may suggest that be where we deliver our second blow.

Lana turned and looked to Bermfad hearing both coms, she walked over to him.
"Sir umm... Mandalore I request to go with the fleet heading for Nar Shaddaa, I want to join in the fight."
She said standing firm while addressing the new Mandalorian leader. She looked out at the fleet and then at Korriban then turned back to Bermfad awaiting his reply.

OOC ah, i can spell the impatience, well then guess I won't hold my members here. Your free to go as well Gamov if you wish but I'm finishing the battle that started here even if I haven't seen anyone put up a resistance post, not even the people on the ground.
Bermfad stood on the bridge the hologram showing another ship show up, and then make contact, he already recognized the ship. It was under Elifain's command last he knew. He knew the the Super Star Destroyer had left some time ago.
"Very well we don't need most of the fleet here take some of it to fight---" started Bermfad but he saw hundreds of new dots appear on the radar. "What are they?"
"Sir, they have imperial markings but your not going to believe this...." said the man as he pulled up the comlink. A man dressed in simple grey robes stood before them with a helmet upon his head but he looked exactly like Zilfer.
"Traveling the rims, I heard rumors of the Mandalorians gathering above Korriban seems the rumors are true. I wish to request your assistance, I can pay you fairly well if you'd be able to use some of your fleet to help some of my friends on the planet of Nar Shaddaa." said Revan before waiting for the reply. Bermfad couldn't help but smirk at this it seems things were going crazy around here. "No need to pay us stranger we are headed in that direction to help a few friends of ours as well, I suspect they may be allies. Roland take some of our fleet. I'm assigning you temporary use of Aay'han, Taung's fury, two of the Taungs, two crusaders, two Jehavey’ir's, Fist of Mandalore, and it's assortment of fighters. Take 160 of each(Bes'uliiks, StarVipers) along with a few boarding class shuttles, Dragoons, and half of the Thundering Herd. If you strike with Revan's fleet over there you should be able to put up a decent fight against whatever comes your way."
Finally he got about to addressing Lana's request, and with a wry smile he put on the helm of Mandalore before speaking. "Permission granted, Just don't get yourself killed out there, and you two stay alive." Finished Bermfad talking to Revan and Roland. "Now get your asses out of here we've got everything handled here thus far."

Roland smiled, as he recieved his orders, and said, over com, YESSIR! FOR THE GLORY OF MANDALORE! as his fighters returned to the mjolnir, and the listed ships moved to join them. TOO NAR SHADAA! he called again, over the com system, as the ships jumped.

Lana looked to Bermfad with gratitude.
"I won't let you down!"
She said smiling then turned to the com and spoke.
"Sir, um Roland I believe it was... Request to come aboard!"

Before the Mjolnir jumped, Roland recieved the request, and said over the same chanel, Welcome aboard then. He waited until she was onboard, before he went to jump.
