Wren extended a hand and helped Thrit back to his feet. With the water pouring off and the full plate, he was pretty heavy too and grunted.
"You're not exactly a lightweight yourself. Too much chow, maybe."
But there was no real malice in any of his words. In fact he had to say this one's...
The teams covered the several hundred meters very quickly. Closing in on the buildings, the automated defenses came into view. Two groups peeled off both left and right. Their job would be to flank the turrets and combat droids.
"Down!," Wren shouted above the din as the first volley of...
I've never really liked Mace Windu, even reading the side novels like Shatterpoint. To me he was not truly a Jedi. Again, criticism of Jedi philosophy aside, he didn't live up to those ideals. Ironically, he chastised Anakin (who I don't like much either) for doing the same. I also got the...
Kreia seems to share much more in common with the Sith perspective, or at least, the Sith Lords who weren't psychopaths, sadists and just wantonly destructive. For example, Bane asked Zannah essentially 'what is the point of power in and of itself?'. Power for power's sake is a waste. I don't...
In general, having come from other boards, I get the impression the staff (and faction leaders) are a lot more approachable. I like that I feel like I can bring a problem before one of you and not be concerned about being ostracized for daring to speak up. Personalities vary but I have no bad...
It started just like that. Dav's attention was piqued by the sound of gunfire ahead, knowing Priest was on point. A pair of blast doors opened to reveal a small pocket of attackers. Flesio took out two with a burst of fire and injured a third.
Foolishly the young man hurtled a terminal and went...
Things had gone to poodoo about as quickly as Dav had ever seen. An automated beacon had led to a semi-legendary core processing unit on the Castle Moon of Leth. Kalii Wren, a Protector and a Clanswoman, had pulled him off Ryloth to track this signal aboard Accord Dawn. It all seemed so easy...
Dav's attention was pulled away from the Duke and his entourage by a yellow-clad mass moving toward them. He turned to face them and counted fifteen armored figures armed to the teeth. He recognized Treval's colors and knew trouble was coming. Their views were well-known.
The sentinels stepped...
Down the strike teams went, now into the upper atmosphere. All around them the turbolaser fire from above was answered by that of the surface. Missiles streaked in both directions, punctuated with bright explosions that could not be heard in the craft above the rumble. Below, planetary shielding...
Dav could hardly believe his ears.
"You arrogant Republic dogs always think you know best," he told Te'Veen with soft malice "Look at how well the past five years have gone for you. The Sith control Coruscant and have your people enslaved throughout the Core."
He pointed to Skirata.
"You're...
Inspection was quick and efficient. Every member of the teams were experienced and knew how important preparation was. You never went into a conflict unprepared, a lesson drilled into your head since childhood. Still Dav checked equipment and weapons because wars were lost for want of care...
It was off in the tank though Dav would've much preferred to be less obvious. Drawing nearer, Krom went ahead and jumped out of the tank after wedging down the accelerator. He growled as the fool was already going against the plan. With nothing else to do, Wren cursed as he moved up to steer the...
Much to his pleasant surprise, Wren's helmet HUD was coming online at the same time as Flesio's. His own location and those of his allies appeared as blips and he was fed a blueprint of the facility. It was a line drawing of the building done to scale. A potential advantage for them.
The...
Dav got the message from Mand'alor while he waited on the bridge. He'd been reading reports on Rothana's dirt side defenses in anticipation of his new orders. Lots of tech for opposition and of the best quality. Potentially a problem for most but he had a plan.
He picked up his helmet up from...
As for Dav, he was taking his own weapons that he brought with him. The old saying went 'never bring an untried gun into a firefight'. An A140 rifle, a CMBP-15 pistol, a RUD with thermal detonators and his well-used heavy bladed knife. More importantly he was bringing his own skills and...
For his part, Dav Wren wanted to land on Rothana and get this over with. Unfortunately there was more to it than simply shooting up the joint. Naturally they had something of value and they knew it. So they were looking to play the long game. Maybe they could just live off of their stores and...
Dav's vision had cleared enough to make out what was going on. The giant lizard was pinning Thrit down, trying to get it's mouth around him. He scrambled over and threw himself on the reptile's back. He began to stab with an icepick grip.
More blood decorated the muddy water now and Wren...
