Shepherd of Pigs

[CrVoss]

Gamorr
Uprising on Hutta!
​

Cr'voss stood at the edge of the shuttle as the small squadron touched down on the forest floor. A herd of Gamorreans beneath them ran for their lives; pursued by rag-tag groups through the foliage, on their tail with blaster fire. The screeching of the pigs was a sharp resound through the forest, pierced by the repeat sound of blasters scorching the air.

As the Gamorrean villagers made their way into the clearing, the shuttles of the Old Empire came blazing down in a storm of thrust stabilisers scattering grass, dirt, and leaves.

They halted very suddenly, cartoonishly grinding to a stop in the dirt. And as the troops marched from the shuttles, they considered themselves at in impossible crossfire, surely to be torn apart from both sides. But the soldiers marched forward, shouldering past them, digging in at the edge of the clearing and advancing to meet the slavers somewhere in the forest.

Cr'voss came behind them at the rear. Feeling sympathetic towards the Gamorreans (a former slave himself), he directed them onto the shuttles before following the troops through the forest.

 

[Ros Sijak]

From one of the shuttles, Ros exited the gangway, saber already in her hand as she half matched forwards. Hearing the sound of the screeching and the chaos all around. It was glorious to hear to her, what better way to find out what a person was truly made of than in the head of complete chaos.

Her eyes scanned the landscape before her, looking straight ahead towards the forest for a few moments before over towards Cr'voss giving the Sluissi a nod

"Join when your ready, I will leave some of them alive if not somewhat maimed for any actions you wish to take later"

With that, she continued on forwards towards where the soldiers were and lowered down behind one. There was no point in revealing what awaited them just yet, for now, she would let blasters and energy weapons be the weapon of choice for the moment until the moment was right.

With that she pulled her hood up over her head, placing her saber hilt back on her belt and removing her bow from her back taking aim over a shoulder of a soldier. At least he would act like some form of armor for her.​

 

[Seth Varsan]

Seth never showed it or voiced it but he loved the heat of battle, his years as a sith taking beating after beating. Being givin one simple rule, to win at any cost no matter the stakes. Outside he was seen as a stone faced young man with eyes of hate and death, inside he was a ball of chaos waiting to fight. Jumping from a shuttle just landing he walked at a steady pace toward the blaster fire coming toward him. His saber still on belt, rather he joined a few troopers advancing and pulled his dual ZA-44 blaster pistols then spoke to a group of troopers near him “Let’s move! The others leading this assault will not take kindly to us huddled in this spot like prey.” The troops nodded and got up with him to move forward, they opened fire, Seth wanted to kill anything that he was able he was a slave as a child and had the old empire to thank him for his life today, not only did this repay the debt he owed to his saviors, but revenge for his childhood filled with pain by the hand of people like this. The sith blasted enemy’s to his right as the troops covered his left, the tree were thick after the clearing they were near and anyone in the middle without cover would most likely be shot. After making some distance forward with a small group of 7 troops that had made it this far with the sith. Seth had them in the cover of a few large rocks found further in the clearing. Now in a position to think of the next move he got on his com as the troops fired ahead. This to the man leading the attack although not officially introduced he didn’t question the chain of command. “Cr’voss sir, I have a small group of troops forward of your position. It seems even more heavy resistance than anticipated is ahead, should I try to move myself and my men to rout the enemy from their right side to attack for two angles to trap them? Or should we continue to push farward slowly and wait for your arrival?” Seth waited for an awnser but continued to hold position. No mater the choice Seth was ready the trees were thick in some areas that would allow for them to be covered moving right, but more open in front to meet the enemy. As long as they stayed put though their position would be held until orders came.

 

[Luka Ragnos]

.

As the imperial shuttles made a stark landing, the current acolytes gathered on the ground were not the only warriors summoned to this task. They had been accompanied by a darker and more sinister associate, the pureblood Sith Luka Ragnos. Grabbed in his terrifying armored suit, he made his way down the shuttle ramp and advanced several meters behind the trooper platoon. Not one to be working well with others, he made a slight scowl and broke away from the larger group. Intelligence had identified that there would be approximately 20 hostile soldiers in the region and the Sith wished to bleed all of them dry. Moving through the jungle utilizing brushes and trees for cover, he came upon a trio of enemy combatants who were making their own tracks towards the Gamorrean post. Dark energies shuddered in his left hand while his right held onto the hilt of his Sith sword, the force forged weapon beginning to glow a unnatural red as its wielded poured his hatred into it.

Shooting out with a force projectile, he hurled it at the three and caught them in their lower extremities. The trio flying backwards with the impact, Luka rushed towards them with the force at his back. Bringing his blade in a horizontal manner, he slashed through armor easily, the satisfactory smile of metal cutting through flesh coming across his lips. The second soldier attempted to strike with his vibroknife, though the stronger sith merely grabbed the palm as it came in for the blow. Hoisting him upwards, he stabbed his weapon into the man's belly, ripping out innards and tossed the corpse to the side. A predatory glance shifted upon the third who was still on the ground attempting to regain his footing.

[CrVoss]

Shouldering past the fleeing Gamorreans, he heard Ros briefly mention to him her intent. Bravado mostly. He said: Go then, boast less.

It appeared through the tree line of the forest that the slavers pursued their prey with more cohesion than expected from poachers. They were organised into small squadrons, flanking the Sith troopers, blending into the colour of the trees. It seemed the only one who was willing to wait was Seth, who had deferred to his command in this case. While not strictly in charge, he accepted the station and listened carefully through the force before responding to him.

The Sith Luka had moved directly against a small group near the clearing, a rampage of the force. He would not be controlled. Better to let him be, and it seemed he had drawn the attention of several other small squadrons who Cr'voss sensed stalking somewhere in the grass.

Cr'voss turned to the remaining Gamorreans at the shuttle, expecting immediate evacuation. He summoned the men to his call and had the shuttle crew arm them with what weapons could be spared.

Under my wing, he said, bolstering his ranks with the Gamorrean tribesmen.

To Seth, he turned and said: Follow the Sith, cover his east flank. I'll cover the west. We'll catch them on their advance.

He directed several of the Gamorreans ranks to follow Seth and made his way through the forest. At the edge of his right periphery he saw Luka advancing upon the third soldier in his immediate sights and caught sight of a slaver poised to fire at the Sith in a tree not far from their position. He directed the trooper's fire at the man and he fell from the tree, the sudden strike flushing out three more soldiers who advanced from the density of the forest on Cr'voss. They fired, but the troopers returned fire, and Cr'voss parried the blaster bolts headed his way.

He led the Gamorreans into the fray, his snake's body gliding through the grass, and he clove the lead gunner through the waist when he covered the distance.

[Ros Sijak]

Ros waited to see movement through the trees before she let loose her first shot with the bow, slinging it back onto her back again and removing her saber off her hip once again. She had noticed the use of the force already, so see no reason to hold back any longer as she rose to her feet turning her head slightly towards the troopers she was closest to

"Suppression fire on the forest"

She simply commented and began to charge at full speed forwards, not leaving a moment to talk any further about the fact she had just asked for the troopers to shoot in the direction she was running at. A twisted smile formed upon her lips as she ignited both ends of her saber, holding it in her right hand making her way towards the forest line. Already she could hear comments about there being a Sith presence, not only had they witness the force being used but now there was a saber ignited, it was time to try and stoke that fear.

Ros pushed from the ground using the force to propel her movement forwards spinning the blade in front of her protectively as she became the closest and obvious target, deflecting the round fired at her from the one slaver. As she landed rolling forwards over her right shoulder, smacking the ground with her free hand to complete the break fall.

With a swing of the blade, she aimed for the slavers knees, severing the man's legs form the rest of his body as a scream of pain rang through the air. She had no problem continuing to rise up to her feet, waving her hand as she sent the blaster off away from the man, walking forwards to place her boot on his throat and slowly start to apply pressure.

The companions to this man seemed to freeze for a moment as Ros looked at them with a twisted grin upon her lips until there was a snap sound with her boot pushing down harder.

Nearby she could see Luka taking another small unit of three nearby with ease. Well she wasn't going to let this man take all the glory as she began her approach on the remaining two who had started to recover and draw vibro blades of their own for close quarter combat

[Seth Varsan]

Seth got the orders that were due to him, he then turned off his comm and holsters his blasters. One of his men then asked what the plan was Seth simply looked to the men, and the few coming to join their position. “We are covering the east flank, and we are going to cover this side on the advance to make way for the bigger force behind us. Let’s move men the battle is not yet won!” He yelled with hate in his voice, now taking his saber and igniting his crimson red blade and stepping out of cover to cover the men moving out. Once they were clear to advance he started to move. Dashing forward toward the closest enemy slicing him in half, then looking as another to his right tried to blast a hole through his head. But quickly dodging and repaying it with a blast of force lightning not only frying the man but scalding a few trees near by. Then making steady progress ahead making way for anyone coming from behind, but they would go I noticed for a while since he was starting to get lost in the battle, he slashed left and right delfecting bolts, and enemy and obstacles, whatever stood in his was was torn down as they moved forward.
