Darth Somnus' personal Infiltrator-class star courier was escaping Empress Teta's atmosphere when an Arrestor-class Patrol Frigate had entered the Koros system. The ship was an expected vessel, bringing in supplies for the local garrison. Lord Tumek Nnitrilyaje had personally overseen its delivery, the Dark Lord suspecting the plump noble was in the bridge of the patrol frigate Noblesse Oblige at this time. As Geist was calculating a hyperspace jump, a sudden flash of red and orange drew his attention. An inferno was engulfing the the bridge of the patrol frigate.
Geist raised his ship's shields immediately. As he broadened his senses in the Force, he could sense a few starfighers, none friendly, were whipping around the burning ship. A Chiss Patrol Frigate was nearby. Originally believed to be a Chiss industrial ship, delivering supplies to the Tetan markets, Geist began to suspect Chiss were not involved. The Dark Lord hailed Imperial Star Destroyer circling Empress Teta, on the dark side of the planet. He commanded the vessel to neutralize the pirates. Tempting as it was to engage them, the Cinnagaran Defense Forces would take care of it. With a second glance at the Noblesse Oblige, Geist entered hyperspace.
Everyone aboard the bridge of Imperial Star Destroyer Magician-God had heard Darth Somnus' declaration that Governor-General Nnitrilyaje was dead and the Noblesse Oblige had been crippled. Sith Lady Keres, named after the Nirvanism patron rather than Empress Teta's sister planet, had followed the Dark Lord's directive and sent her vessel to intercept the pirate Chiss Patrol Frigate, who claimed to be the Billanjucalian, a military vessel-turned-cargo carrier. The cargo it held turned out to hold defunct x-wings and other relics of the past. It appeared to have sent a couple shuttles to the Noblesse Oblige, suspecting to be pillaging the husk of its delivered supplies.
Keres had no intention of letting these pirate escape. Nnitrilyaje had risen to Governor-General due to forsaking the system's rightful empress in favor of Empress Andraste. His betrayal warded him reward of control over the system. Lady Keres, a fellow noble from House Nnitilyaje's chief rival, House Vol Fyr. Her ascension to Sith Lady gave her much power. She had become the commander of the Tetan forces, but her true desire was governor-general of the Koros system. If she performed well, she had a shot at positioning herself as Nnitrilyaje's replacement.
The true Sith way, Keres thought with amusement. As the Billanjucalian came into range, Keres barked an order. "Fire all guns upon the enemy frigate."
The captain of the Magician-God was surprised by this decree. "Surely we must try to capture them?"
Keres' glare silenced the imperial captain. "Deadmen indeed tell no tales, but they also do no harm. Destroy them at once." As if an afterthought, she said, "Send a squad to Noblesse Oblige. If it hasn't exploded yet, it may yet live. I want Stormtroopers to clear out the pirates who have entered its halls."
"As you wish, my lady."
OOC: Thread will be partaken by Cristo Morrell and Wes Morrow. As both are soldiers more so than naval officers, I decided to change the primary fight from against the Billanjucalian to the Noblesse Oblige. You'll have a squad of Stormtroopers at your disposal. You'll enter the Arrestor-class patrol frigate and locate the pirates inside. Up to you if you capture or kill them. This is a Proactive Thread, which means you guys will have control over enemy elements and are expected to introduce and respond to new elements at your leisure. As such, I will not post anymore posts in this thread and leave the thread's expansion to the two of you. Have fun and good luck.
