Immortal-class Siege Dreadnought 'Vindicator', Myrkr Orbit, Myrkr System, The Inner Rim
Allies: The Galactic Alliance
Enemies: The Mandalorian Empire
The bridge of the Vindicator was alive with activity as the hull of the ship ceased shuddering, the craft fully reverting from its hyperspace jump, carefully positioned to bring itself, and the accompanying fleet just outside of Myrkr's gravity well. Towards the forward viewport, and at the end of the command walk-way stood the Supreme Commander, his hands clasped gently behind his back, and his face hidden behind the mask that he had retrieved from Dagobah after the first battle on the world, the very battle which had now brought him here."Multiple ships detected in atmosphere and high orbit, they haven't engaged fighter screening yet, but they're hailing us."
The primary signals officer called out from one of the command pits behind Aryn, the Supreme Commander's gaze shifting somewhat to focus on the silhouettes of the Mandalorian craft. They were too significant to be simply a planetary defense fleet, even though Teth was aware of the presence the clans had on Myrkr, their positioning didn't suggest as much either. As he ran through the scenarios in his mind, he almost couldn't help the smirk which split his lips behind the mask. The First battle of Dagobah had begun with an Alliance wargame, it seemed only fitting that this should begin the same way.
"Ignore their hails, bring us into high orbit over the Northern forest, begin charging the autocannons." Aryn knew that the bases or cities on Myrkr would have been more ideal targets, but with the positioning of the Mandalorian fleet, it was unlikely that the Immortals would be able to get within range before taking fire, taking their initial shots into the forest had the same effect that Aryn had seen the Sith use on Thyferra. It was a Sith tactic, certainly, but what did that matter, if it achieved results?
"Begin informing the ground commanders that they may deploy, The Australis' base is their primary target." Within seconds of his order being given, it was delivered across the ship and the fleet, informing those who would be leading troops down to Myrkr's surface that the operation had begun. The deployment of the dropships would have most certainly given the Mandalorians the indication of what was happening, especially considering the fighter escorts that soon joined them, yet if it had not, they would have soon properly understood. "Autocannons primed, sir." The voice of the chief gunnery officer echoed across the bridge, and with a silent nod from the Supreme Commander, the four ventral cannons began to fire, each pouring a series of devastating shots down to the surface, engulfing a large swathe of the forest in flame.
"Move the fleet closer to support the ground units, re-target the autocannons on Hyllyard City." There was a brief pause as the order carried, the ships executive officer speaking up quietly towards the Supreme Commander. "Sir, we are unable to guarantee there would be no civilian casualties if we fire on Hyllyard." As his mask turned down to settle upon the face of the executive officer, Aryn almost had to fight back a laugh. "They are Mandalorians, Commander. They don't understand the concept of a 'civilian'."
