The Assimilation of Dilonexa XXIII

[Vapor Kazuna]

The Imperator III Star Destroyer Maelstrom comes ripping out of hyperspace in the midst of the battle. Vapor opens a comm frequency to allied forces.

This is Vapor Kazuna aboard the Maelstrom.

Dyne's voice responded over the receiver. Welcome Vapor.

Vapor paced the command bridge looking at the tactical display on the wall opposite him. Closest to him were four Lancer Frigates. He chuckled. Lancers had no chance against fire from capital-scale weapons.

"Open fire on the Lancers! All weapons!"

As the heavy fire from the Maelstrom pounded the Lancers their shield ratings dropped at an alarming rate. Alarming for the crew members on board that is.

"Sir! The Lancers are down to 56% shields!"

"Good, continue with the attack."

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon looked in the direction of the Maelstrom and smiled. “Nice to have you in the battle, Vapor.” Khendon then went back to ordering his men. “Right is to fire upon the Lancers. Center shall now move in on the Heavy Cruiser. No fighters are to be launched, cancel the previous launches.”
“Aye, Sir.”

Khendon smiled as two of the Marauders added to the devastation of the Lancers. After the first two volleys the shields of the Lancer were down and Vapor’s shots destroyed each lancer, simultaneously.

As this was happening Khendon’s left group was engaging the shuttles that were heading towards the SSD on a collision course. The two Marauders’ fire ripped through the hulls of the shuttles, ten down by the time the lancers were out of commission.

In the mean time Hawk’s Eye began firing on the Heavy Cruiser. The center force fired as well.

“Fire torpedoes!” Khendon screamed.

Six concussion missiles were launched at the bridge of the heavy cruiser. Four managed to hit directly as the next round was shot.

The three ships pounded the cruiser with fire.
(Edit: typo, again)

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Not too far from Dyne and the fleet escorting the shuttles to the surface of Dilonexa, the Praetor Fenix dropped out of hyper space, taking out 3 Z95 Headhunters with a rapid fire of torpedoes. Cruising through the blaze of explosions it had caused, the TIE Phantom began heading towards the other escort ships ::

This is the Praetor Fenix, Vega here to help..

:: The Fenix picked up speed as Vega stared out from the bridge at the other ships. Taking a seat at the control panel of the ship, Vega awaited a response from his co-pilots ::

Dyne: Thanks for the help Vega.

BBN: Yeah, it's always good to have another around.

Vega: Just doing my job.

Skroth: Excellent, more help.

[Darth Phantom]

:: Phantom sits in the shadows of the bridge abord the SSD Sulaco, he looks at the screen and a smile covers his face ::

Y....e....s

:: Phantom opens a coded comm to Dyne ::

The Calvery is here, wooooo hooooo. I got the Barges and are ten minutes out. save some killin for me!!!

:: Phantom kills the link and sounds the red alert alarm, a computerized voice comes on, Battle Stations, Repeat Battle Stations ::

[Dyne Darkforce]

A smile appeared over his face as DP came over the comm. Dyne activated his frequency and spoke back to DP.

"Welcome DP, now lets show these guys what were all about. NR is going down now and HARD."

Phantom: "You got it, once I help the clearing of the ships, I will unload the barges. We have a array of AT-UT's, AT-AT's, AT-PT's, AT-ST's, and AT-AA's.

"That is very good, im escorting the shuttles right now with BBN, Skroth, and Vega. Once we descend onto the planet, which wont be soon, I will begin the planetary assault. I believe Varlon has barges loaded onto his Command ship as well. Renegade and his squadron has the fighters covered with Poreon providing back up as well."

Phantom: "Sounds good to me, ill see you soon Dyne. Phantom out."

Dyne looked out the Lionheart as he received comms from Vapor and Khendon. They engaged the NR forces and were bringing down their shields. He looked to the other side and nodded to himself after seeing Vega. Dyne went over the comm to his wingmen.

"Alright Omega Squadron, we are a few minutes out to be at the planets upper atmosphere, we shall descend soon. Our main aim for now is their main command center. Once that goes down, we will spread out to their other forces. The walkers will help us crush them, so we can make a clearing for the barges to land on the planet. The stromtroopers will have that part of the mission as we infiltrate the base and take over."

BBN: "Roger that Omega leader, proceeding to the destination."

Skroth: "As usual, I got your backs."

Vega: "Hmmm, heh they are gonna get it for sure. Omega 4 out."

They proceeded on, to their projected course. He looked down at his targeting computer to see the NR forces approaching while we engaged to destroy them. Dyne smirked as he made sure the Headhunters werent around the shuttles anymore. He noticed a odd reading on the targeting computer. Dyne looked around to see something behind him as Var came over the comm.

Varlon: "Dyne, this is Var...those things you are seeing are the 6 Barges on my SSD. I sent them out with a squadron of Tie Defenders. They should help you take out their laser turrets on the planet."

"Thanks Var, ill watch them as we descend. The Defenders can return to your hangar with the empty barges once we unload them."

Varlon: "Alright Dyne, good luck...Varlon out.:

He went over the comm to Vega.

"Vega help me escort the Barges down to the outside of their base."

Vega: "Alright Dyne, gotcha."

The shuttles and Omega squadron entered the upper atmosphere of the planet, then began to descend. Dyne, with Vega at his side, escorted the Barges to the planets surface. Sometime later, they approached the surface on the outside perimeter of the main command center. Briefing the troopers on the obejective all of them were unloaded and proceeded to base. There was 4 AT-AT's, 1 AT-UT, 4 AT-AA's, 6 AT-ST's, and 8 AT-PT's unloaded off the 6 Barges. They ascended back into space to the awaiting Tie Defenders. Explosions can already be heard as the NR forces began to strike back with their defense force. BBN, Skroth, and Vega proceeded on with the troopers as Dyne watched the walkers march on besides them. Their laser turrets were blasted to metal shards. Armed with their blasters, the 4 of Omega squadron went to the Command Center. The stormtroopers were also helping to clear out the way of NR forces.

"Guys, see the Command Center? We need to infiltrate that and take it over as quickly as possible. Their computer systems control their forces and all the other garrisions and troopers around it. Once it falls, we have the upper hand."

Laser blasts flew all over across the sky, as explosions can be seen occasionally as the laser turrets were demolished. The walkers took hits on their hulls but continued to go on, their sides blackened by the laser blasts. The walkers continued stomping across the ground, shaking the place around them. Putting the shield on his helmet down, Dyne went on with his comrades to the Base.

EDIT - Typos

[Big Bad Naga]

The base was just about 30 meters away. Naga took out a datapad that had the schematics of the base. He looked over it for a second then showed the others. He pointed out the entrance, and the way they were going to enter.

"Now if you guys see here, the right wall of a building, is the entrance to a ventilation shaft which will bring us directly into the compound. When inside we blast the hell out of anything that is an enemy."

Naga shows them the map again, and he points to the situated guard areas.

"There are guards around the ventilation shaft area. We must destroy them as quietly and quickly as possible. They cannot know that we have already infiltrated their base."

Naga puts the datapad back in his pouch.

"Is everyone ready?"

Dyne: "Hell Yeah!"

Vega: "I'm ready!"

Skroth: "Me too!"

They ran off toward the side of the base. The group had made sure thast the guards had not detected them. They hid below the tall grass crawling over to the three guards.

Dyne whispered to all of them....1....2....3.

Each member sprang out and quickly slashed the guards down with their sabers. Skroth slashed the ventilation shaft open and each crawled in.

[Darth Varlon]

With the onrushing suicide bombs, the SSD's concussion batteries light up at the newer threats, smashing them with a rain of missiles like none other. Their shields quickly crush and the subsequent shots hit hulls and rip them apart, setting off the warheads inside.

Within minutes, the kamakazi force was nothing more than a large number of Nova's. The NR had gravely underestimated this commander. The force plowed through the miniature nova's, the shrapnel sparking off the shielding as the ships began to rain turbolaser fire on the two MC80's that stood in its way, backed by missile fire from the great SSD.

[c] ***[/c]

"Kamakazi force obliterated, Lord Varlon." A captain at tactical shouted over klaxons and grinned. "Didn't stand a chance."

"Good, continue pressing all available firepower." The brash young sith said with a grin. "Contact Renegade, have his missile-equipped fighters take a pass at that command cruiser."

"Yes, sir." The captain said and scurried off to relay the message.

The bridge suddenly rocked and power flickered from main to auxilliary.

"Damnit, there goes shields." An officer muttered as he went to extinquish the flames.

"Full Ion cannon bombardment on those main cruisers!" Var said and wiped his brow.

[c] ***[/c]

Now, it had drawn down to a slugging match between Var's blitzkrieg assault force, with its backup and captured MC80s and the NR's relief fleet. Both sides pouring insane amounts of energy between the void that kept eachother from crashing.

Flame gouted from the shieldless areas of the SSD while missiles, turbolasers, and ion cannons bombared the NR's command ship. The battle was going to be long and costly.

[DarthPoreon]

Relatively away from the main battle, Admiral Poreon and his small command had a task at hand. Three Interdictor Cruisers and Two Corellian Gunships and Three Interceptor Squadrons against Three Nebulon B Frigates and Six X-Wing Squadrons.

Gunners, Open fire! Watch out for our fighters!

A furry of Turbolaser batteries and ION Cannons lighted up the vaccuum of space in Blues, reds, and greens. Less than a mere second after the Admiral's force opened fire, the Nebulons retaliated with an attack of Turbolasers and ION cannons.

Concentrate a Concussion Warhead Salvo on the lead Nebulon.

The Admiral's force had a total of Five warhead launchers. The ships shot off 10 of their Concussion Missiles each. Fifty of the Concussion missiles, fired off at intervals of Three Seconds sped towards the Lead Nebulon.

The First 10 impacted and splashed around the shields, not breaking through. The second set hit three seconds after the first set and two broke through the weakened spot in the shields, impacting on the hull and creating small explosions. The third and fourth set were launched simultaneously and all made it through the shield spot on the Nebulon and impacted against the bridge of the ship. Then, the final blow, ten more missiles, came in and tore apart the bridge with the force of their explosions.

Scans?

Admiral, missile salvos are a success. The bridge seems to be knocked out on the Lead Nebulon B. Assumed loss of control for the whole ship.

Send two of the TIE Recons to scan the ship.

[Skroth da Ripper]

*Skroth is the first one through the shaft, and immediately sabre sounds and blaster fire are heard. Soon Dyne is through, and he sees a guard up against a wall with one of Skroth's sabres impaling him through the neck, and the otherone through his heart. While another guard is up against the other wall, but he got lucky, he was dead already. A clean cut right through the neck.*

Dyne: Skroth, ease up a bit. You don't have to kill everyone.

*Large explosions are heard from outside as Skroth lets the guard's corpse fall to the ground. leaving blood stains all over the wall, the floor, and Skroth's cloak. A group of guards just happen to walk down the hall, and see the 2 corpses.*

Skroth: Looks like they brought the welcome wagon for us. Shall we?

Dyne: Of course.

Vega: Finally some action.

BBN: Hey Skroth this time save some for the rest of us.

*The Siths ignite their sabres, as the guards open fire on the group. The team easily deflect the shots back at them. and advance on the garrison. BBN gets close enough to jam his sabre through the neck of an unlucky guard. He then kicks him in the chest. The force of the blow crushes the corpse's rib cage. Vega slashes a guard on the chest, and jams his sabre through the soldier's head, and kicks the corpse off his blade. Dyne just slices a guard's shooting arm off, and kicks him in the face. he then decapitates the sargent. A guard advances on Skroth, and tries to get a shot at his head. Skroth immediately impales the fool on his sabres, and lifts him up. Skroth then tears the guard in half. The rest of the garrison runs for their lives, trying to trigger the alarm. The Sith give chase and finish off the rest of them.*

Skroth: So where to now?

*Just then the whole place shakes from a large explosion as the team continues into the center.*

[Fritz 7]

Fritz received his orders from Varlon then finished blasting one of the A-Wings. After he trashed that fighter, he proceeded on and locked onto the NR's ship as Varlon ordered. Fritz unloaded 2 missles onto the ship and flew by at full speed. The missles landed onto the ship with a large explosion as Fritz went back into formation with the Skulls.

[Phalanx Allger]

One Fighter for every two enemy fighters. One Wing against Two Wings. It wasn't impossible odds, but it still wasn't easy.

Acting Wing Commander Phalanx Allger sat strapped in the cockpit of his On-Loan TIE Interceptor. He usually flew Gamma Class X-M1 Missile Boats, but he and his squadron had been called upon by Grand Admiral DarthPoreon of the Galactic Military Alliance to help in an act of darkness. His squadron, Zeta Squadron, would be the head Squadron in a Wing. He would be commanding the wing to its victory... or its death. Failure though, was not an option. Victory for his superior and for his command was the only option.

Phalanx: Wing Commander Phalanx Allger requesting take-off clearance.

Hangar Control: Granted Wing Commander, good luck!

[i]Slightly tilting his pilot's yoke, the Temporary Wing Commander nudged his Interceptor out of the Interdictor Cruiser Forthright's hangar bays and into the frenzy of starfighter battle.

[Cloud Selestor]

Cloud followed Major Allger out of the hangar in his TIE Interceptor. He flew down to his side quickly, in a tight formation. He spoke over the comm to the Major.

"Major Allger, Cloud Selestor here as your wingman back up sir."

Allger: "Excellent Cloud, keep formation and we are gonna run though these fighter squadrons."

"Yes sir, Roger that, Zeta 2 out."

Proceeding into the battle, Cloud locked and loaded his lasers. Setting the shields and throttle, he smirked as both the Major and Cloud locked onto their targets. They let loose a array of lasers at the W-wing, and X-wing squadrons. The other wingmen on their Interceptors continued to blast away at the NR squadrons. They flew through the explosions with ease, the blaze was lighting up his eyes in a reflection. The Interceptors speed was outstanding, as they could out run the other fighters out there. The space was illuminated from explosions and laser fire as all the starfighters flew around in the battle. They kept a tight patrol around the fleet and engaged all enemy fighters. The Interceptor squadrons flooded the area and met the NR fighters head on, sending them into bits of metal.

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon smirks as his left force returns from having taken care of most of the shuttles, the others being destroyed by the SSD. He smiles as now his entire force concentrates on the enemy heavy cruiser, missiles swirling around it and colliding. He gives an order and his scimitars and Tie Defenders are launched, their target is the heavy cruiser. Khendon gives another order and StarVipers are launched to guard from fighter attacks.

As Khendon watches energy from the eight ships rams into the craft, severally weakening its shields, almost to the point were they will overload. They continue their barrage.

[Dyne Darkforce]

Meanwhile, at the Dilonexa XXIII Command Center....

A guard was hidden around the corner as Vega grabbed him and wrapped his fingers around his throat.

Vega: "Where is the captain?!"

NR Guard: Cough "In...h..is..qu..a..rt..e..rs."

Vega launched the guard into the wall as he knocked out cold.

Dyne and company swept through the base, easily dispatching the guards. The blasting ocurring outside was rattling the whole area. The foundation was being pummled by the shaking. They arrived at the main command base room. He turned to Skroth and Vega and looked at them.

"Alright you guys, I need you to sweep their quarters and take out the men. If they do not submit then eliminate them. If you can keep the Captain alive, then do so and bring him to me and BBN. We are headed to the main command room. Im sure they already alerted the other forces on the planet."

Skroth: "Alright, we got it covered. Lets go Vega."

Vega: Ignites his sabre again and smirks. "Lets go."

As they head off into the hallway, some screams for mercy can be heard as the NR men are eliminated. Dyne smirks and looks over at BBN.

"Ready?"

BBN: "As always."

They both armed their blasters and activated a detonator bomb. BBN put the bomb by the door as they took cover around the corner. BBN presses the button as the door blasted open, taking a few guards out with it. The two went in through the smoke, blasting away at everything alive in there sight. The guards landed on the ground as one of their lasers skimmed past Dyne's shoulder. He barely moved out of the way as the guards were finished off. They secured the area as Vega and Skroth came in a few minutes later with the Captain. Dyne nodded to Skroth and Vega as Skroth dropped the Captain to the floor.

"Call back all your forces or you lose your life."

Captain: Shaking "Alright, ill do it."

"Good, any wrong moves and you die."

Dyne let him proceed to the comm so he could call back the NR forces on the planet.

Captain: Stuttered for a second before he spoke. "ALL MEN ATTACK THEM, DO NOT..." Ugh Ahhhh..!!!

Before the captain could say more, BBN shot him with his blaster from a distance.

"Well, I guess we gonna have to stop them the hard way."

Skroth: "Well, that isnt bad...more action heh..."

Dyne glanced over at Skroth and shaked his head laughing a bit.

"Ok guys, we got this place cleared now we need to coordinate the strike from here onto the other strongholds. Since the majority of them are a bit away from this location, we can help our landing forces capture them."

He looked at the map on the computer screen, noticing the locations of each base. Narrowing his eyes, Dyne saw that they had fighter forces, but were at some distance away.

"Ok there seems to be 2 more bases around the main one. They are not to terribly far and could pull something on us. They also have fighters, good thing we brought the AT-AA's. We should take these two strongholds, before they even launch fighters. Now, before they try to do so, we will get them first. Maybe use their own turrets against them."

BBN: "Good idea, that way we can secure this whole area."

"Bingo."

Getting over the comm he switched frequencies to a coded line and spoke to the forces outside.

"Ok men, send in a group of stormtroopers into the base to guard it. I want 2 AT-PT's and 2 AT-ST's guarding the perimeter as we attempt to secure the surrounding strongholds."

Stormtrooper: "Yes sir, proceeding to secure the surroundings of the base."

He turned to his 3 friends and nodded.

"Guess we can go and attack the other two strongholds before our other forces descend onto the planet. We will need to split ourselves into two. Ill go with BBN and Vega and Skroth can go to the other stronghold. They are smaller and roughly the same distance. We will split the walkers and troops so its evenly attacked. Make sure you dont get killed. You can take the one AT-UT we have with you Skroth, 2 AT-AT, 3 AT-PT's, 2 AT-AA's, and 2 AT-ST's. The rest will come with me and BBN."

Skroth: "Yeah got it, we will go now seems like the otehr strongholds are northwest and southeast. We will go for the one southeast. You ready Vega?"

Vega: "Lets go now, we can take that other stronghold quick since their force will obviously be smaller."

"Oh yeah, the one who gets there first, will wait for a transmission from the other team."

Skroth: "Got it."

They headed off to the outside to meet up with their men. Dyne turned to BBN as the stormtroopers secured the base and perimeter. He spoke to the trooper in charge.

"I want you to work on the computer terminal with your best expert and turn their own remaining turrets against them. That should help defend us and this primary base, since the other NR forces wont give up. We will have to take the other locations from them."

Stormtrooper: "Yes sir, I will watch over the turret activation."

They saluted then Dyne turned to BBN.

"Ok lets go BBN."

BBN: "Yeap, this one should be easier."

The Sith left the room and headed out following Skroth and Vega.

EDIT - Typos

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga and Dyne wish their comrades good luck as they turn their different ways. Naga looks at the map of the area and spots the base not far off. He turns to Dyne, and nods.

Naga: "Let's go...Make sure your blaster is charged and ready...There should be more killing for the both of us!"

They both smile evily and check their blasters. Naga gave Dyne an extra rifle just in case. He followed Dyne to the nearest officer.

Officer: "Lord Darkforce, we are leaving now."

Dyne: "Excellent."

The walkers slowly turned to their new course and stomped away. Naga and Dyne followed on foot with some troops.

[Skroth da Ripper]

*Skroth decides that it would be best for him to scout ahead, as his natural ability to turn invisible can allow him to scout the area around the base, and infiltrate it quite easily with out being detected. *

Skroth: "Continue on your path with the forces towards the base. I'll scout ahead on foot and relay any and all information I can get back to you. Keep your comlink open."

Vega: "Are you sure about this?"

Skroth: "I'm an expert at this sort of thing. I do it all the time. Don't worry, I am not about to let any New Republic scum take me out"

Vega: "Ok, relay any info you get back to me, and be careful."

Skroth: "I'll be fine. Just Stick to your orders, and get to the base in one piece. Good Luck."

Vega: "Heh, you’re going to need that more than I do. Happy hunting."

*Skroth fades from view, and runs ahead towards the base. Undetected by anything as he moves stealthily along the path. He comes upon a few guards, nothing a knife in the back can't get rid of. He comes upon a small garrison posted about a 40 yards from the base. Skroth relays it back to Vega, and goes around them, as he figures that Vega can handle them. *


*Still undetected, he fins an air vent leading into the base, not unlike the one found in the command center. He relays it back to Vega and says that he's going in. Vega says it’s too risky, but by then Skroth had already climbed through the vent, and infiltrated the base. *


*The Sith forces are about 80 yards from the base. Skroth hears some guards over talking about their families around the corner. They sure paid for it with a saber strike to their hearts. Skroth hated it when people were on the clock, yet they weren't doing their jobs. * The protoss continues to go around and mercilessly slaughter everything that comes his way. Eventually, he finds the communications room. It is heavily guarded. *


*Skroth decides to wait until the alarm goes off (as it surprisingly still hasn't been tripped by someone finding one of the mutilated corpses) Then they will walk away from their posts, to go investigate. He leans on the wall around the corner from the comm. room door, and there he silently waits for someone to trip the alarm. *


Edit: Added some breaks, and fixed spelling and grammar mistakes.

[Darth Phantom]

:: Phantom opens a comm to Val ::

I hear you have a little pest problem, well the exterminater is here

:: Phantom charges the lasers and loads the torpedo tubes.
He spots near by fighters ::

Fire!!!

:: Several laser blasts explode from the SSD and into the fighters ::

[Vega Van Derveld]

:: Vega watched as Skroth snuck past the guards, heading towards the base. With a quick slash of his sabre, he let a grin crack over his face, charging towards the guards. A round of fire was shot a Vega, and with great ease he deflected each bullet with his sabre.

He used the force to jump clear over one, causing him to shoot his comrade. He then, with one quick kick, knocked him out.

Disabling his sabre he ran to where Skroth had entered the base, leaping over the fire from 2 gun turrets which had seemed to appear out of no where.

Diving into the vent, Vega scrambled forward, taking out his comm. pad ::

Vega: Skroth?

Skroth: Yeah, Vega?

Vega: Where do you want me, I'm partially stuck in this vent... and I need a motive.

Skroth: Just follow the vents through until you drop out by me, ok?

Vega: Gotcha.

:: Vega carried on through the vents as fast as he could, eventually sighting a light. He slid out of the metallic tunnel, landing by Skroth ::

[Darth Varlon]

" Death Wind fleet, fall back to the protected zone of Darth Phantom's fleet. We'll regroup from there." Var said across the ships comm to his fleet. He watched as his Wraith Cruisers pulled away, their hulls covered in glowing patches where turbolaser strikes had punched through.

This wasn't how it was supposed to happen, but we haven't lost yet. He thought to himself.

[c] ***[/c]

As the Death Wind and her ships started to wheel and pull away from the NR forces, their ships continued to fire whatever weapons that they could upon the enemy forces. Green turbolaser bolts and yellow/white ion cannon shots rained down on the NR fleet as they got a targeting lock. The SSD's hull blew off in superheated globs where the NR fleets shots struck it as she finally executed her wheel and was now moving perpendicularly to the NR fleets, and right towards Phantom's.

[DarthPoreon]

The Two TIE Recons strayed far from the main starfighter battle. They reached the shattered Nebulon B just as the lower deck under the bridge exploded sending volleys of hull plating out into the Recons path.

__________

Ok, Assuming that the lead is down. Gunships, concentrate on the third Nebulon. Interdictors, we got the second Nebulon.

Just as the Admiral said that he noticed a deep red color come over the engine section on one of the Corellian Gunships.

Status!

Sir, the Gunships shields over the Engine Section have dropped to 5%.

Frowning, the Admiral issued an order.

Send the second Gunship in to protect the engine section. -Position Tactical Protocal Protect-

A deep blue behind the second gunship was seen as its engines began manuevering it into position infront of the Engine Section on the wavering Gunship.

[b]Interdictors, get some targeting solutions on that Nebulon B, Lets take it out.
