Roland growled, as he held up a hand, with a holo vid in it and played it. The live view of a building colapsing, people falling to a painful landing, many dying, while many others screaming for a moment, before suddenly falling still, as the sith magic took hold. You think that the impirial civilians had any say in that matter? the people of nar shadaa are being slayn for no reason of their own, and you will do nothing? The Galaxy inside the empire are rotting, under martial law, with no choice what they do, stuck under a tirant, and you will do nothing? And how long after the sith beat there chest do you think it will take them to notice you will not act. when they start taking over other planets, and you are stuck in a corner, with no escape, what then? Roland shook his head, If what you say is true, then your best course would be to free these people, and let them decide for themselves. I do not request you become one of conquest, but rather of salvation. Your inaction will cost the lives of billions, can you hold the weight of their Deaths on your shoulders, and still claim your principals? He finished, as he turned and spat, as if the word didn't sit well in his mouth in the chamber. I come, with a way to free the galaxy to what you claim it should be able to do, and yet you refute what could be...

Oracle stood. "Boy, you are not from the Empire, you are from the Mandalorians. We know this, you are a third party person asking use to go to war for the sole reason to satisfy your own need for justice. We have twenty eight worlds which we must think of, billions of people that the Emperor would wipe out should we fail." She sat down. She did not like to see people suffering, but what about the lives of those people that had put their faith in the Federation. "Okay, lets put it to a vote. As with all policies involving things outside our boarders a super-majority must approve. All in favor of joining this young man and his brother." Four hands extended. "All opposed." The reamining hands extended minus Oracles. "Then it is settled the Federation will not support the young man and his brother in a fight with the Empire. This special session of the Council is dismissed." Oracle said and stood up.
Oracle quickly walked over to the Young man before he could leave and grabbed his arm. She pulled him to the side of the room. "Listen boy, I hope you understand why the vote went the way it did. But in orbit is a ship that goes by the name MCV Nimitz. It is on loan from my sister. It will lend its support to you and good luck." Oracle said as she walked off. At the door she turned and looked at Roland on last time. "You will find a few Jedi assisting with the evacuation of a city, you may want to stop their next." Oracle said walking off.

Roland nodded, figuring his time was done here. He knew where to go next to talk to people from the jedi, and maybe more would join him there. He cut a quick bow to the oracle, and said, I thank you for your generosity. He went to leave, making sure to send a message to his ship, the Mjolnir, an update of the situation, as the LAAT landed again. As it did, Roland boarded, and took off to the Mjolnir again, sending a message to the MCV Nimitz. I hear you are to throw your lot in with our cause. Whether you stay and recruit the jedi, or move out with us, we welcome you. Join us in an honorable death, or avenge us, its your choice. As he finished, the mjolnir jumped to hyperspace, heading out towards Koriban

Johana looked at Zero and smiled. "Good, then we wont have any problems. This was just a small pothole in our relationship and know it is in pass. Good luck with your mission." She stood up and picked up datapad and walking out of the room. She had to make preparation to jump to hyperspace. They had to being the assault soon, because the Minntooine Uprising was going to attack as soon as they did.

Zero smiled and fallowed Johana out of the room, heading for Normandy, where his armor was behing held. After standing in the hold for a while, looking between his Mandalorian armor or his orbital drop armor, he decided to go with the drop armor, only because it suit him better for this attack.
It took him only about a minutes to don the armor, because of the assembly area where his armor was stored. It took some years to get all the kinks now, but it made getting in and out of armor very fast, efficient, and easy. Now all he had to do was wait, and it seemed like a long wait for him. [/sub]

the small YT-2400 light freighter baring the title Dynames exited hyperspace a fine distance outside the gravity well of the planet knowing her stop would actually be the ship USS Enterprise. After a break from the major fighting, and before that working with the Omega group. Paige wanted to fight with the good guys for a change, Though the Omega group certainly weren't the bad guys.
Opening a com channel with the ship Paige began her request to land. "This is Paige Espérer captain of Dynames seeking permission to come aboard." quick and to the point, Other details would be talked about after landing if she gained clearance.

Johana stood on the bridge of the Enterprise working with her helmsman to calculate the short jump to Minntooine. "Is that as close to the shipyards as we can get?" She asked her navigator.
"Yes ma'am, this is not the best time for a jump to Minntoooine; a lot of the planets in both systems are getting in the way." The Navigator responded bluntly.
Johana took a deep breath. She was hopping to just pop in within range of the ships currently docked at the shipyards. "Okay, calculate a jump to just outside sensor range of any planet base sensors and we will calculate a microjump once we are there." Johana said. She was banking on the element of surprise to get the jump on the Commerce Guild security forces.
While the Navigator calculated for a new jump when the Dynamite arrived. Johana got on the radio. "This is captain of the USS Enterprise. We are currently preparing for a combat mission; civilians should head to the USS Valiant with problems or concerns. Captain Kay Out." She said very polity, but she wondered what the Civilian was doing asking for permission to land. She turned to the Navigator and he gave her a nodded. Johana flipped on the open ship and the attack task force communication channel. "His is Johana. We are about to embark on another mission to liberate a planet which has renounced its military rulers. We do this not for fame or profit but because it is the right thing to do. I don't expect mirecles, just everyone to do their best. All ships, jump to hyperspace in three, two, one." As Johana said one the stars in the view field streaked and the Enterprise along with the Freedom and Justice jumped into hyperspace for the short trip to the water world Minntooine located in the Mon Calamari sector.

Paige quickly realized the mistake in not identifying as to why she was here, The USSenterprise the mention of "civilians" said it all, They thought her visit here was nothing more then a impassive trip, Not a resignation to join their effort. It was much to late to right the wrong however, therefore Paige could only call the USS Valiant conveying her true reason for being here.
"Valiant, This is Paige Espérer of the Dynames, I'm here to join the Federation where should i report?" That seemed clear enough, that mistake wouldn't be repeated.

Captain Morgan looked out from the bridge of the Lysander-class Deep Space Carrier. He took a breath and realized what happen. "You were assigned to the Enterprise according to my records, however sense it is currently liberating Minntooine, you may land on the Valiant. I could use an able body pilot for a mission Ensign Espérer." Morgan said with a smile. He then turned to the his XO. "Have the ground crew prepare one of the XJ3's for the Ensign. I want her part of the escort flight." Morgan said as he walked off the bridge. He grabbed a datapad and carried it down. He would quickly brief the ensign and send her on her way seeing that he could get an extra pilot for this important escort mission.

"Roger that." Paige Answered before disconnected the signal. She took the ship slow and steady into the hanger finding an open location to put her down. Moving off the ramp Paige quickly noticed man in uniform, he seemed to be the ranking office and she assumed her orders would be coming from him.
Stepping up to meet him she figured a Salute was obviously appropriate for a Superior and therefore she did while stating a quick apology for the misunderstanding no matter if it was on her or not, First impressions and all that.

The fourty two year old Mon Calamari returned the salute and held up his hand when Pagie started to apologies for the miss understanding. "It is not your fault young lady." He said softly. "Your arrival just did not correspond to the best timing. The Enterprise was assign to liberate a planet from military rule and as such military force was required. Captain Kay must have been in the middle of the jump count and just did not make the connection." He explained to her how it was not her fault for missing the Enterprise.
He then held out a datapad. "I however benefit from this mistake." He said with a smile; or what constituted a Mon Calamari smile. "We are sending a shipment of supplies to aid the population which has currently been hit by a disaster of great proportions. We are sending several large transport ships with food, medical supplies and building materials, but this is a tempting target for pirates, so we are sending a fighter escort with it." He said explaining the mission. "You will notice that it has to make several jumps to get around gravitational anomalies and each could possibility be an ambush. So you along with eleven other XJ3 are going to escort it. As the convoy was put together in a hurry, we do not expect a great amount of resistance, but you will be in charge of one of the three flights of fighters. You will be under Commander Stavos command." He said. The datapad included all the jump coordinates along with data on the convoy.
He was originally only going to send two flights because his other pilots needed rest, however with her he could complete one more flight and be extra-safe. "Your bird is just over their, it belongs to Lieutenant Clair but he wont mind it being used. Any questions Ensign." He said, he felt somewhat bad about sending her on a mission right away, but it was important to protect this valuable shipment.

"Thank you, sir." Paige put in after excusing her mistiming of the enterprise. She took the datapad has the Calamarian continued instruction her to the first mission she would have with the Federation. He spoke in a somewhat watery tone as most of the species did. Paige turned to face the XJ3 that he indicated toward. she took an early liking to him thanks to his hospitality and clear direction things she always admired the ladder a trait any high ranking office in the navy should have.
After Paige was asked if she had any questions only one came to mind. "When will this operation start, Sir? I'd like to have a few moments to check over the fighters systems, Not that i doubt there in perfectly functioning order its just a habit of mine." An even tone carried throughout her words as she tried to look the Mon Calamari in his eyes, Only managing one due to the space between them.

Morgan looked at Paige as she asked when the escort mission began. "The convoy ships are currently waiting in orbit, it leaves as soon as all the fighters arrive; which leave when you leave. So we won't deprive you of checking over the fighter, but don't take to much time ensign. Good luck, now I must return to the bridge." He said. He gave a salute before turning and walking off. While it was a respectful that he came down to see her, he still had duties on the bridge.

Paige gave a nod to indicate her understanding and quickly suited up entering the Fighter a few moments later. Skimming across the controls showed that the shields were in perfect condition, The sensors were also in amazing standing, everything unsurprisingly checked out. Paige gave the ship a green light as all were this XJ3 was a great improvement when put to comparison to former models. Paige signaled her readiness to take off and in a moment flew into the dark void space always appeared to be. “Paige Espérer ready, Just give the order to go.” She called over an open channel seeing how their was little risk in being pick up at the federation headquarter.

Spirit of Fire moved away from the rest of the fleet, heading for the shipyards that were nearby. James had been communicating with the shipyards about modifications to his massive ship. For now, though, it was extra armor and weapons. He had been getting prepaired for the last couple of hours and the shipyards now finally had his order ready: armored enclosements for the titan dropships as well as other strategic spots around the hull, 20 solar ionized cannons, and 30 DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets.
These weapons and armor were the start of a slow transformation to be a better ship to ship combattant. As soon as it entered the shipyards and came to a stop, the flurry of work began, grafting on the armor and adding in the extra weapons. 15 of the heavy turbolasers were installed dorsal while the remaining 15 went ventral. The solar ionized cannons were similarly placed, 10 dorsal, 10 ventral.
It took a couple of hours, but the job was finished just after the group to liberate Mintooine, and it went on its own way. Mon Cal would be fine without them, as the news now called out to the assault carrier. [/sub]
