Ask Confronting Calix

[Drow Venn]

Solitair.

It was a solitary name for a solitary planet and was a perfect place for a Sith Exile to reside. On a remote world like this, the arctic poles were even more remote and Calix and those Sith still loyal to him had chosen this icy, mountainous terrain as their temporary base of operations.

Months of surveillance, preparation and hard work had led Jedi Master Drow Venn here to where the former Sith Councilor, Calix Viritan was laying in hiding. From dueling another Sith Councilor to travelling to Cloud City to locate a deserter from Calix's forces, the road here had not been an easy one but now that the time to strike had come, Drow would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't a little bit excited to cross blades with Calix. He'd heard much about the man's penchant for violence and was eager to test himself against him.

Drow was not alone either - @Alexandria Voran stood by him, the two Masters had elected to be the ones to confront the Sith Councilor and Drow trusted her completely. Of course, much had changed since those days. Alex was now Grandmaster of the Order, Oren had left the Order and come back, and Drow himself had been exiled from Yavin IV to become the leader of the Jedi Shadows. Indeed, Drow did not wear Jedi robes - just winter furs and a face mask - as he still was not officially a Jedi to the galaxy at large. His two lightsabers at his belt, the Ishi Tib Master surveyed the area before them.

The Chainbreaker loomed large above the sky, the Jedi corvette had a lot of firepower and was crewed by the privateers that Drow had been working with of late. Once they began to drop down, the ship's cannons would begin the bombardment, accompanied by a few X-Wings to run distraction and to pick off enemy ships.

There was also a strike team on the ground (@Charles @Rhogar @logn2665 ) that was responsible for engaging the remnants of Calix's forces that were left after the initial bombardment from the Chainbreaker. Drow knew he could count on them but he hoped the Force would be with them all the same. With much of the fighting concentrated in the valley, Drow and the other two Masters were standing atop the mountain where Calix's base camp was. No doubt, the former Councilor would stay well above the valley, both to stay out of harm's way as the camp's leader and to better survey the land before him. Drow didn't know what else would await them at the top of the mountain but he knew for certain that Calix would. He looked over at Alex, silently nodding to them both. Whatever awaited them, they would tackle together.

OOC: Death enabled. Let's try and keep the posts moving. Only Masters are allowed on the strike team confronting Calix directly - any other Jedi is instructed to stick with engaging NPC ground forces. Here is a very shitty map that Tea and I agreed on of the area. Map is an icy mountain region. Brown rectangle symbolizes a mountain valley where the bulk of Calix's forces are whereas the X on the top of the mountain represents where Calix's personal camp is. Any party is welcome to add other NPC fighters to this as well.

 

[Tiberius Fenric]

Tiberius stood in the icy valley between two mountains on the planet Solitair. This is where the Sith Exile Calix Viritan had fled to. Tiberius had been selected to be part of the ground team that would engage the former sith councilor’s forces while the more experienced Jedi Masters would go after Calix directly.

Tiberius looked through the electrobinoculars across the valley. He could see the number a sith forces mounting at the other end of the valley. Looking up at the peak of the mountain Calix’s base could just be made out through the falling snow. Above that, in the sky above, Tiberius could see the Jedi Corvette where the Jedi masters were supposedly waiting to descend on Calix’ base.

Tiberius stopped looking through his electrobinoculars and looked around him. The ground team he was a part of was made up of several different Jedi, both knights and padawans, as well as a few non-jedi forces that were sympathetic to their cause. He was not familiar with some of these Jedi, but he had previously worked with Ruus’all previously when taking the new Jedi Temple on Kashyyyk and knew that his fellow Jedi was more than capable for this job.

There was a bit of tension in the air as the time of assault grew closer. Tiberius had taken part in battle before, of course, but there was always the reality that it could be your last. The jedi knight went over his equipment once more. He had already check his equipment twice, but he liked to check it to make sure he was prepared, and it helped him get rid of his nervous energy. It was either that or bite his nails, which he had already done.

The frigid weather meant that Tiberius dressed a little warmer that he normally did. He wore his light, Jedi wanderer robes beneath a traditional thicker, fur lined Jedi robe with the hood up. On the right side of his belt he carried the iconic Jedi weapon, a lightsaber, and on his left he carried a blaster.
