The Arrow
~Ryloth Orbit~​

The Arrow. The Shadow Syndicate's single and only frigate...for now. Model: CZ-MCF01, The Arrow was capable of holding several private vessels for the Syndicate on their raids to Ryloth. From secret sources Caiden had learned that the Dominion was heading to Ryloth to gather up slaves and then sell them to the Hutts. While the Syndicate merely disliked the Dominion as a whole, they would not stand as their main contenders -The Hutt familes- turned a profit on their endeavor. Today's mission was simple. His company was going to hit Ryloth right at the center of their homes. Their job was to locate a village and gather up as many Twi'leks as possible in one grand scale slaving raid.

Caiden was currently walking aboard the bridge of The Arrow. He'd been supervising the other minor missions he tasked his syndicate with from there, and was soon preparing to lead them to phase two of his plan. He was wearing a leather outfit which made him seem like some sort of ninja rather than a businessman. It wasn't far off from the truth. His black monk-like robes he wore were much like how Force sensitives chose to dress. Though considering his were black he looked more like a Sith. Over the robes he wore a black leather trenchcoat which covered from his neck down to his thighs and was woven with fiberweave metals to help durability and protection. The coat had two main straps on it, the first being around his shoulder. This strap held both a quiver with various arrows on it, and a collapsible bow which honestly looked nothing like a bow in its current state. The second strap went around his waist. Aside from the usual pouches, it also held a short sword which as it lie sheathed spread across his lower back so he might grab the blade with his right hand.

His subordinates had made contact with the Arrow just minutes ago and he would call attention to the ship via the overhead, "All Syndicate members. We will soon be touching down on Ryloth. All raid parties to their stations. Weapons set to stun, I don't want any casualties today. We're to be going in hot and grabbing as many bodies as we can before anyone else shows up. No mistakes today. Embrace the Shadow."

[Ooc-all my post are from mobile. Sorry if they're a bit shorter than the rest]
Masada, still clad in his gladiator plate, growled at the intercom in response. What about kriffin melee weapons? Its a bit hard to set them on stun. He thought to himself as finished sharpening his second vibro axe and sheathing it on his back along with his other one. Masada had tried to acquire the Number Armor but he was told "they weren't ready yet". Clambering out of his room, he made his way to the main deck in search of some direction. This better be kriffin worth it. Being a Number doesnt pay well enough for this blasted type of work.

 

[krano drall]

No killing? That takes the fun out of it Marin thought. Hopefully they resist then I can kill. Marin grabbed his blades and attached them to his sides. He walked out of his room and walker calmly to the first transport. It was filled with numbers with there blasters set to stun. Marin looked at them and said "Rember you fall behind you get left behind."

 

[Herrith]

Herrith stood on the bridge of the Arrow, keeping in her laughter as Vex walked around in some kind of costume. He hailed his crew or gang or whatever on the intercom and she turned to lean against the railing, pulling out her vibroshiv and spinning it in her palm.

Set to stun. Nonlethal. She could do that. But, for now, she'd play with her knife.
"Mr. Vexley, what exactly are we going to do on Ryloth? I don't recall you saying."

Herrith knew how to irritate people, and she enjoyed irritating Vex. But not to the point of him considering killing her. That's too far.

She smiled and put her shiv back into its hidden pocket.


OOC - I'm sorry for the late reply! I blanked out and didn't realize that it was my turn. If you need any edits, lemme know!

 

[EmilyHuene]

"Mr. Vexley, what exactly are we going to do on Ryloth? I don't recall you saying."

Caiden would turn and instead of giving her the same annoyed look he always did when she acted like a little brat, he was actually smiling, "We're going hunting." That was all he was going to say about it. If she didn't pick up the clues from all the nets, chains, and binders being packed up then there wasn't much help for her. They were here to capture and enslave the Ryloth people. Simple as that.

From there, he turned to head toward his own shuttle which would bring him down once the others had taken off. The shuttles would lead them down to Ryloth and after a short journey they were in range of three villages each on a side of the mountain. One East, one West, one North. Each of the shuttles would head to a different village, two shuttles per village. Caiden's private ship would come in later.

Spoiler: MISSION GO

Have fun boys. Go get them!

 

[210yeti]

After getting some form of direction l, Masada clambered into a shuttle that was heading to the Northern village. He growled at the crew as they looked at him and his implants, he knew he was considered expandable but Masada would just have prove them wrong like the Hutts who enslaved him all those years ago. He sat down in one of the many empty seats and took out his vibro axes and set them in his lap. His implants were slowly building up pressure in his head, causing a headache that grew slowly. Aahhh i need to get planet side soon. The Nails are acting up again, Masada thought to himself as he closedhis eyes and clenched his teeth, hoping to suppress the pain. After a few minutes of failing to sppress the pain, He got up, leaving his axes by his seat, and walked to the back of the shuttle to pound on a locker door till the pain faded away.

[Herrith]

Herrith stood on the ground of Ryloth, watching as people were taken from their homes and rounded up like... like animals. It disgusted her. Hopefully they treated their slaves better...she had a job to do.

The Zeltron entered an unsearched hut and found a couple, immediately shoving them outside but not bearing to look them in the eye. Is this what she'd been lowered to? Rounding up people like animals? What the kriff!

After the first searches were complete, she'd found a quiet spot behind a hut and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears. The memories...they came back like worms entering her brain. She snarled quietly and then elbowed the back of the hut twice before wiping away tears and going out to search for something to vent on.

What the kriff was wrong with her?

OOC - Sorry! I was waiting for Drall cause I assumed there was a strict posting order.

 

[Mad Dog]

Kae'Tl stood at the bridge of the Protectorate's Tayana-class Frigate a hail to the Protectorate had been sent begging for assistance, non combatant's were being laid siege to inside Mandalorian jurisdiction. Kae'Tl in an effort to expand the Protectorate's influence and prestige. Was all too happy to oblige.

Herself and the crew were ready to hit hyperspace on a matter of minutes. Whatever was going on out there, Kae'Tl wasn't looking for an elongated skirmish, made clear by her frigate which was escorted by two squardrens of Nova's.

"Captain.. uh.. Grand Councillor.." the first mate stammered at choosing the appropriate title fit the situation. Kae'Tl turned to the man. "We're about to exit hyperspace, sensors show the hostile craft has sent multiple smaller vessels to the planet's surface." He said.

"Very well, shields up, bring full payload online. I want an immediate incapacitation of all enemy ships, lets do what we're paid for gentlemen.." she said being immediately responded with multiple ' Yes Ma'am's and yes grand councillor's and yes captain's.

The frigate exited hyperspace, It's targeting systems already locked on to the Model: CZ-MCF01, Kae'Tl's Frigate's five turbo lasers humming immediately as it began firing toward the enemy ship, accompanied by its twelve laser cannons, almost like swatting flies.

Like a well choreographed dance, the Nova's made way for the pirate vessel, under the cover of the heavy frigates fire. Their laser and Ion cannon's already beaming toward the enemy Frigate.

"This is The Grand Councillor of The Kjlljk Protectorate, you are ordered to cease all corsair activity immediately, and surrender!"

After the hail was closed and sent Kae'Tl spoke into the secure and encrypted Protectorate comm link,"Continue to engage, keep weapons hot and fire at will, if they surrender I will make the call! Hit that vessel with the tractor beam!" She said as the frigate's tractor beam began to whirr to life.

Yong Ki was aboard his fully crewed Shakula class heavy corvette with a 25 WASP escort when he received the assistance call from his Mandalorian allies." All units set the following coordinates, This is not a Drill. We are coming in Hot and firing there is a CZ MCF01 frigate. WASP's I want 2 full salvos into the Frigate then go after the drop ships and or shuttles, The corvette will continue to deal with the Frigate, All Hands man Battle stations" ordered Yong Ki He then allowed his interpreter droid to finish. When both squadron commanders had responded as well as gun crew officers Yong Ki added, "We are jumping in at minimum safe distance for slow down, so be careful,' waiting a few moments for the droid he then Barked "Jump!" Upon exiting Hyperspace all WASP's fired two laser blasts from each of their 3 cannons as well as fired two seeking concussion missiles each. The corvette's Ion cannon lead the way lancing out into where the shields should be followed by the two twin barrel laser cannons and 3 turbo lasers. Yong Ki could see that Kae Tl's frigate had also responded with it's escort of Nova's and was hammering the rear of the craft in much the same way he was hammering the font.

 

[BiggB90]

Zander responded to the call for assitestaice as he arrived aggressively in a Picketing Class Corvette he realize that the belly of the enemy's ship was open to him so he attacked the belly of the ship with his Ion cannon and then continues with his 9 Lasers cannons continuing with volley attacks to the hanger door to insure that no other ship that may be on bored would be capable of escaping he then let Kai"Ti know on the open protectorate frequency of his presents and targeting.

A friendly reminder, this thread is death-disabled

The raid party took off from The Arrow and headed down to the surface. Along with the other vessels of the Syndicate, they would have no trouble finding their prey. Two ships per landing site and each housed with more than enough armed troops to secure an unsuspecting village without much -if all- trouble. The raid ships came in fast and fired short-range missiles at their watch towers. Explosions shook the village as the rock bases crumbled and fell to the earth. The ships then began their landing routine as the poor Ryloth natives rushed to find weapons.

The Twi'leks came out with their blasters and rifles, but were no match for the pirates. Stun bolts overtook the defenses, electric nets were thrown over families, and chains were slapped around the wrists of those who surrendered. The same happened in each of the three selected towns. The Syndicate were more than experienced in this field work. The One Rings ordered about the non-ring troops and organized the transfer of the villagers into the ships. From behind the scenes, the Two Rings stayed stationed within the ships and oversaw the operation. They were responsible for reporting back to Caiden and would ultimately take the fall if something went wrong. But this was routine, what could go wrong?

High above the atmosphere Caiden was walking to his private shuttle, a luxury CZ-MT01 cruiser. The ship had been prepped beforehand and was ready to take off once he stepped on. He was almost to his ship when he heard an alarm on his communicator. He flipped it open and listened to his commander tell him they were picking up incoming vessels coming out of hyperspace.

"Kriff!" he said aloud to himself. "How did they get here so fast?" Obviously they must have been nearby because there was no way the Dominion could possibly expect trouble and anticipate them so quickly. To his commander now, "Get the shields up and get us out of range. Send word to the ships down below. Have them pull out and head to their escape routes. We'll rendezvous later at the designated area. Keep this ship floating, no matter what, Captain."

"Yes Sir!" the commander replied and shut off communications.

Caiden entered into his ship and shouted to the Syndicate soldier piloting it, "Change of plans. Escape plan Tango. We're getting out of here."

His private ship blasted out of the hanger bay of the Arrow and made way into open space away from where the ships were coming out of hyperspace. Meanwhile, the frigate would turn its shields up high and start moving away from the planet as the Tayana-class frigate came after them. Their thirty MGLT was no match for the Syndicate's 50 speed. They'd be able to escape if they didn't give chase quick enough. The Nova fighters however would prove more difficult as they were significantly faster than either frigate. But the Syndicate wouldn't go down without a fight and all 20 gunners of the vessel began to take up their stations to blow those ships out of the sky. If they were going to give chase, they'd better be prepared to die.

Ju stood on the bridge of the CZ-100 light corvette. Well some would call it a bridge, it was more of an enlarged cockpit. All around him numbers were at work as they ran various aspects of the ship. The newly minted 3 ring of the Shadow Syndicate stared into the endless void that was hyperspace. This ship and another 8 DRV-12 Patrol craft were on their way to Ryloth to help "relocate" some of the population to more lucrative accommodations. It was a snatch and grab as simple as that. One that would hopefully happen before any the Mando's made their way to the planet to do it first. A chiming on the console told them they were almost to their destination.

"Sir we're approaching Ryloth now"

"Good bring us out as planned"

The plan as far as Ju knew was to leave for Ryloth after the raiding force and come out of hyper space once enough natives had been captured. They would return to real space to cover the escape of the landing craft and the frigate. The lines of stars started to appear as the ship came out of hyperspace and the sight that greeted them was not an all to welcome one. A frigate and 2 corvettes were engaged with the Sydicate's Frigate the Arrow. Ju and his small squadron had come out of hyperspace on the opposite side of the fight, thus the Arrow would be flying toward them as it made to it's escape vector. The shields of the Arrow would hold up, but not forever under that onslaught, especially not the dozens of fighters. He saw the fighters levy quick attacks against the Syndicate frigate then break off to head planet side. Ju opened the comms.

"6 patrol craft move to intercept the fighters heading planet side, keep them off our ground forces. The rest move to assist the Arrow, focus on the fighters."

With his orders relayed the numbers made their moves. 6 DRV-12's dove to intercept, though they were slower than the fighters, the positioning should allow them to reach and open up on the bombers with their weapons to attempt to take a few out before they reach the surface. The Arrow swarmed with enemy fighters and his 2 remaining patrol craft moved to add to the arrows defense cannons with swiveling laser turrets of their own. The CZ-100 would open up with its own light turbo lasers to try and thin the tide of fighters. He kept an eye on the enemy's larger vessels, ready to engage when the time came. He opened the comms to all Syndicate Channels.

"This is Ju Oko. We're here to assist in the escape. Get what cargo you can off planet now. You have incoming bombers."

[Herrith]

Herrith cursed as people rushed by her. Kriff. Of course they'd been discovered. Why not? And even worse, she'd be considered a bloody criminal for doing something she didn't know was going to happen.

Guess that's the irony.

The Zeltron looked up at the sky and grit her teeth. If it was time to brixin' fight, then she would. But for now...

Herrith ran off, down the main village path.

Hopefully she didn't miss a ride.

 

[210yeti]

Down in the northern village, Masada was in over drive, catching excellent candidates for the market. The few men that dared bare arms against him were soon decapitated and had their heads hanging from a chain atteched to the Tusken's belt. With the populace now compliant, Masada escorted them towards his shuttle and as he walked beside the line of Twi'leks he was brandishing his vibro axes just waiting for someone step out of line.

His eyes turned skyward as, Masada spied a different set of shuttles coming down. Enraged, He made the newly captured run towards his shuttle and pile in, leaving the weak and crippled behind to fend for themselves.

Death disabled is perfectly fine, we knew that before entering, nobody is gonna lose a character today. :)

The CZ-MCF01's civilian grade shield generator was no match for the two dozen Nova-class Starfighter's Ion cannons, which quickly caused the weak shielding around the ship to pop and fizzle out, allowing the full force of the Protectorate's payloads to connect with the ship.

Kae'Tl watched as her Frigate's five turbo lasers, and it's twelve laser cannons connected violently with the enemy Frigate, punching holes in various spots, causing the ship to leak oxygen and its inhabitants. Their bodies seizing equally as violently for a few moments. Once the Tayana's tractor beam took hold the ships slow movement and even worse monuverability was forced to a halt as it was pulled closer and closer to into Kae'Tl's grasp, her Frigate's twelve laaer cannons still firing upon it, while It's turbo lasers began to take aim at the newly arrived Corvette.

Kae'Tl had seen the Czerka made freighter make a run for it, and decided to allow it to maintain its course, even though she'd nearly incapicatated the enemy frigate, there was still a new Corvette to deal with.

The entrance of the CZ-100 was unexpected, but nothing the superior firepower of the Protectorate couldn't handle. The CZ-100's single turbo laser was light, there was no doubt about that, however it still discentigrated one of the Protectorate's Novas before thirteen of them began evasive conduct. The remaining ten now dedicated to eliminating the two DRV-12s which had joined the fight, split evenly a five versus one combat with the Nova's superior speed and maneuverability, Kae'Tl knew the dog fights would end in the Protectorate's favor as the Nova's laser and ion cannons came online and began blasting directly towards the DRV-12S.

Kae'Tl sent out one final hail to the opposing ships,"To any remaining population who are opposing the authority of the Protectorate cease your actions immediately and you will not be harmed, This is your final warning."

Switching over to the Protectorate's secured line,"Where the Fhtagn is Agent Cade!? He was supposed to make the jump with us!"

Yong Ki's WASP's entered the atmosphere and located 4 of the 6 shuttles immediately. The shuttles were on ground with hatch doors open so following protocol they fired on them trying to reduce possible civilian casualties by targeting the cockpit area with multiple volleys. The WASP's discontinued as soon as the ships no longer appeared space worthy. When 6 DRV 12 patrol craft entered the atmosphere both squadron commanders barked in almost unison, "Hit those DRV's!" The response was a chorus yea's and hoots. The protectorate did not stint with equipment the best was always provided and training was continuous. These pilots not only knew they were the best they could show it. The incoming DRV's had most likely never seen the like of these star fighters They were both among the smallest craft in space as well as the second fastest. The precision flying and accuracy of the pilots was far above the norm which became evident. The DRV's were quickly designated by the squadron commanders and assigned 4 star fighters each. The first pass by each strike team resulted 12 cannon and 4 seeking concussion missiles the medium shields of the DRV's would be unable to withstand such punishment. Two shuttle craft managed to get off planet making a run in the opposite direction. The WASP's let them go to deal with the DRV's.

Yong Ki was nose to nose delivering another volley to battered Arrow when it started to move forward only to be pulled back by Kae TL's Tractor beams its engines flaring out, when from behind him a corvette appeared. "Chief, A CZ100 on our 6," announced his helmsmen. "Come about on port, Port guns locate and destroy new target to our rear, continuous fire." ordered Yong KI. Hitting the open Protectorate frequency he announced "Nova Squadron 1, I have a bogey on my 6 please assist," Zander I have a corvette on my 6 alter targeting and engage while I come about." ordered Yong Ki. closing the link Yong Ki said into the ships com "maintenance teams to the shields and shield generators and stand by."

 

[BiggB90]

Zander immediately adjusted his fire to the incoming CZ100 leading first with his both of his Double Ion cannons followed by his 8 turreted laser cannons. "Fire at will," Ordered Zander as he moved his ship directly under the Shakula allowing it room to complete it's maneuver and bring it's full complement to bear.

 

[EmilyHuene]

"To any remaining population who are opposing the authority of the Protectorate cease your actions immediately and you will not be harmed, This is your final warning."

The Arrow was defenseless. The shields were gone and air pockets ripped open in the ship. The bridge luckily had special precautions set up to protect those inside. The same couldn't be said for most of the crew throughout the rest of the ship. The captain sighed as he listened to the Private run over the damage reports. There was no hope for saving them. Trying to remain stoic in this time of peril he gave the command to cease fire and sent a message to the Protectorate that they would surrender. Then, he sent word to the other Syndicate Corvette to relay what was going on, and that they needed to leave them behind. It was more important to secure the shuttles down on the planet's surface.

Down below, the ships had been given plenty of warning time thanks to the brave sacrifice of The Arrow. In a rush they were airborne and leaving the atmosphere by the time the fighters came to secure and rescue what remained of the natives. The Syndicate took a blow today. But they would have their revenge.

OOC-THIS MY CLOSING POST SINCE MY PC IS NO LONGER NEEDED.

Masada watched through a view port as the Arrow became smaller. He hated leaving his boss in such a bad scrap but he knew he was useless flying a ship. Masada would just have to prove himself by slaughtering the fools who dared step in way. His hands clenched into fists as he slowly pounded on the side paneling next to the view port. This action disturbed his catch at the sight of their captor being angered song a they witnessed a few of their close friends/relatives buthchered in front of them. His shuttle flew off into the stars to the Syndicates rally point and soon disappeared ininto the nothingness of space.
