(Archive) Polis Massa Raid

[member="William Kerkov"] [member="Corin Tal'verda"] [member=Aro]

It had been a long day, and now the time would be relatively late in the day, at least for Neldar. Treasure had no sense of time; no beauty sleep nor no schedule, and it was time to take it. Several Derriphan-class battleships loaded with troops and ready to launch some shuttles, with Neldar ready aboard his Argosy to give the order. The Derriphans being only 200m, incredibly ancient and unshielded vessels were merely to give Golan Arms some backbone in their fleet, which Neldar didn't like focusing on too much. Hundreds of terribly murderous and savagely ruthless Ganks were almost half of the fighting force, thirsting for blood. While two thirds of the force was occupied by ragtag bands of spacers, ready and willing to take up Neldars offer of treasure and goods, in exchange for helping him chabge the bases control over to him. It seemed a military base had formed with the medical facility, and both would make this a challenge to take over. Armed with Golan Arms branded nasty anti-infantry and anti-armor flechette weapons and stun grenade launchers, a little over a thousand smugglers, pirates, mercenaries and random assorted beings were ready to fill the backbone on Neldars ground force. The Mercs might be outnumbered by the military base alone by half a hundred or so, but even if they tore up the facility, they were going to make the walls and soldiers into swiss cheese, otherwise capturing enemies in groups in key places of the facility, rather than destroy absolutely everything.

"We ready?" Neldar asked over the transmission to his other ships crew and captains, including his own. The captains all agreed; some cheered, some nodded, some snoring, until the alarm was sounded. "Okay! Jump to Polis Massa, yes, go!" Neldar ordered, the ships all starting their hyperjump engines. Whatever would lay on the other side of jump, auto defense turrets, fighters, or capital ships, the battle was about to begin.
 
The colonel had been in charge of this facility 3 years now, his 7th year among the mercenary force. Prior to his service for pay he was part of the planetary defense force of Bakura, earning him a few shiny medals which after all these years had lost most value to them. As a 43 year old man he had no life whatsoever outside of this job, commanding a meager force of 2,000 marines, along with a 1000 trainees for the mercenary group. Pitiful, no family, no hobbies, he lived a shallow life of gambling and smoking what he could when not on duty. For almost a year now his connection with the company he was contracted to started to fray, it seemed after the death of the CEO, Grand Admiral William Kerkov, the company was receding back to it's home planet of Terminus, leaving the colonel without a job. Albeit he was pissed, but the sound of an early retirement and heavy pension did have a nice ring to it.

A young man maybe twenty years his younger approached him in a grey blue uniform, saluting the superior before reporting his message, "Sir, unkown vessels are approaching, no ciphers have been received and their trajectory is in course of our facility." The colonel was almost taken aback with this news. Not once in his three year command of the station had he even thought of action, the closest coming to some drunken trainees enjoying the night. The officer sputtered out his order, "O-order them to abide by planetary landing restrictions and change their course." He wiped his brow from sweat with clammy hands, "Put the barracks on general quarters, we are to assume at this point forward they are hostile." The young man gulped and left the colonel. Alone, he turned to the viewport from his own cabin, the incoming ships to far to distinguish from the starry sky.

Pirating was in Corin's blood.

For all his father's honor and war-deeds, his mother had been as much a hounded scoundrel. She was Zandra Fenni, the Echani pirate queen, and while she had disappeared from the galactic plane, her progeny still carried her legacy. Truth be told, Corin was not entirely keen on raiding with men of this ilk. He was used to the battle-hardened, disciplined warriors of Kurs'taylir. Still, he needed the credits if he was going to continue his search, and poking a few holes in an imperial outpost didn't weigh all that much on his conscience.

His Strill, Lord Cabur, hastened up to his side as they exited the jump. The little beast peered up at him with big black eyes; its lips pulled back in what looked like a rictus grin. Corin let slip a quiet chuckle and leaned down to scratch the beast behind the ears, though his attentions remained on the comm chatter. Whatever was going on within the imperial battle-net, could only assume they would be preparing to mount a defense.

"Wouldn't be any fun if they didn't fight back, eh Ca'bika?" Corin muttered to the Strill. The others aboard his small shock vessel -- pirates hired guns, mostly, looked at him as if he were missing a few screws in the head. Corin ignored them and shook his head as the hunting beast made a low rumbling noise. Lord Cabur was ready to hunt.

Satisfied, Corin leaned forward to look out the forward viewport of the vessel, and opened a private comm to Neldar's vessel. "We're ready to launch when you are, ner'vod." The youth muttered calmly. "Your boys are a bit antsy though. Probably don't want to keep them waiting too long. Say the word and we'll start our first run."

(Aro hasn't responded for a couple days. If he wants in he can join however he likes, don't want to keep you two waiting)

Neldar grinned as he heard the comms chirp up from his hired guns, but one catching his ear. "Ner'vod, Neldar like this," he said over the groups public comms, "Will need to tell Neldar what Ner'vod means, yes. Later, so no die." and with that, he closed the commlink. Everyone was ready, and the base on Polis Massa was giving them the typical run-around... How bold.

"The leader of this group is kind enough to respond, since all out war wasn't made in their arrival," Jeremy, Neldar's right-hand man, spoke up on all public channels so the base could pick up on it. "these are your choices; surrender, evacuate the facility..." long pauses were made to show the different choices, "you can stay, and fight tooth and nail, wall to wall..."..." Or, you could join us." Jeremy made sure thus was on every public commlink as possible, even soldiers with cimmlinks could hear it, if the base didn't blot it out... "if you joined us, we would pay for your living, you'd fight when you want, how you want. We have a system in place; be a pirate or soldier, get a bed, food, and money. Be a captain, we pay you to run your ship how you want, and join our fights when we ask. Now, I'm dobe recruiting. I'll give the base word of warning. Be are a bunch of pirates. However, many of those that you will fight are trained soldiers, a few maybe even veterans, blood-thirsty and savage Ganks who may even wine and dine on your men on the spot, and hired men of very decent skills and abilities, likes of which we don't even know how good. And yes, the weaponry we will dare to use will put swiss cheese holes in, not only your men, but also the walls of the station. Lay down your weapons and you will not be killed, or risk being blown out into space. You have 10 minutes to respond. Any shuttles attempting to escape will not he shot down. At any moment you fire your defenses, it will be all out war."

"You heard Jermary, men," Neldar said, opening the commlink. Move forward, launch fighters, shuttles load. If you see an enemy shuttle not on course to board with us, fire the Connor Nets and capture them, any other vessel attempting to leave, shoot with Ions and disable. No one leave to call for help. Jermary, jam the base comms as best you can. If they fire, launch all shuttles and board station. Soldiers when hoarding; extra pay to those who capture enemies and not kill! Be ready, yes!" Capturing them means less ammo used on both sides, and they can salvage the 'professional' soldiers gear

RGL-80A Electronet Grenade Launcher
RL-40 Stun Net Launcher
Vac Attack Mk-127
CR-1 Blaster Cannon
FC-1 Flechette Launcher
(All of these weapons, including ammo and extra ammo, were offered to everyone boarding the station)
(The next post from the base determines how things will go. But more then likely, either way, Corin and the others will be launched in Corins next post)
