Battle Royale (Open to starfighter pilots)

[Jorus Merrill]

FORMER SITH EMPIRE TERRITORY
CORPORATE SECTOR

The asteroid field in this unnamed system was dense, heavily mined, full of debris. Bad prospecting ground, but the word was out: Somewhere in this asteroid field was a cache of Corusca gems. A fortune.

Jorus had made and abandoned a far greater fortune, but principles didn't fill the gas tank. His Callan-class starfighter looped through the field, his focus on sensors.

OOC: Basic rule: No elite starfighters. Standard line fighters or interceptors only. Winner gets the cache.

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan Miles had been out here on a training run practicing precise flying now he sat merely yards away from a fighter very much like his own only this one piloted by one [member="Yusan Fenn"]. Apparently someone had told Fenn where Aedan would be doing his practicing and he had shown up himself. They both piloted ships from the Corsair Brotherhood days those being Dread-class light fighters fast and maneuverable while with decent armaments. Opening a channel while one eye remained on his sensors. "Vice Chancellor is there anything I can do for you today seeing as how you came all this way to meet me?" [member="Jorus Merrill"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan smiled at the voice of Aedan Miles, his eyes shooting to the comm channel and connecting to him. "[member="Aedan Miles"], how i did not expect your voice. Im out here to find some Gems i heard about, apparently someone lost the Gems and left them all alone in the middle of this area, and then i find Aedan Miles, lord of the Pirates. How about we link up like in old times and find these Gems, run off like bandits, and not shoot eachother in the back?" [member="Jorus Merrill"]

 

[Ordo]

[member="Jorus Merrill"] [member="Aedan Miles"]

The vhe'viin fighter dropped out of hyperspace and bee lined for the astroid field. Why was Ordo here? He was here checking for Sith caches and his clan mates had picked up information that the area had been mentioned recently in a few back rooms. Besides, He got to play in the asteroid field.

 

[Aedan Miles]

As Yusan was talking to him Aedan picked up a familiar ship entering the system it was of Mandalorian origin and he decided to give it a chance at worst he got shot at early. Opening a channel to it as he powered up shields and weapons slowly. "Hello Vod who is that this is Aedan Miles of the Red Legion." He quickly switched to speaking on the channel of [member="Yusan Fenn"] "I am sure we can come to an agreement nice to see your using a familiar fighter." @Ordo

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan nodded and looked over at his sensors, there were four ships now, one fighter long off, and another that came out of hyperspace. "Aedan, do you know the other two ships, im reading two and im not sure what exactly to do about them, i would rather keep people from getting blown space wards." [member="Aedan Miles"]

 

[Lina Ovmar]

The purudii fighter dropped out of hyper space, its shields coming up and sensors sweeping across the asteroid field before her. Three other ships came up on her sensors and she smiled, guiding the ship with ease through the field, moving without haste and keeping an eyes on the others around her. It paid to have friends like [member="Jorus Merrill"]. How else would you catch wind of something like this? Mia wasn't short of money, if anything she was here for the kicks and if she was successful in getting the cache, well that was just an added bonus.

She opened a secure line to the callan class fighter, produced by Silk Holdings, she wagered she knew who would be at its helm and already ahead of everyone else.

"You never miss the good party's do you?"

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Mia Monroe"] [member="Yusan Fenn"] [member="Ordo"] OOC/ Mind posting links to your ship?
Jorus Merrill: Callan-class starfighter
2 heavy laser cannons (worth 4), 2 proton torpedo tubes (3 warheads each)
Speed/Maneuverability: Class 2

IC/ The word had gotten out, all right. First a couple of Subach Dread-class ships, a little faster than his, a little better armed, the kind pirates used around here. His gut didn't much like them. Then came a couple of Mando ships, one of those nasty Vhe'viin beskar-clad interceptors and a Purudii fighter.

The Purudii commed him as he wove through the asteroids, and he blinked in surprise as [member="Mia Monroe"] pegged him. "That I don't, Mia. Looks like we've got a couple of bogeys out there. If you're here for the same reason I am, I could sure use a wingmate. Subach fighters generally mean a mess in the works."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan narrowed his eyes as a Prudii dropped out of hyperspace this was turning interesting. He armed his weapons as he let a small smirk cross his lips and then he suddenly punched his engines to full as he took off towards the asteroid field. "Yusan keep up people are already heading deeper in we gotta cut off that Callan-class something tells me we might get more information from that one." [member="Yusan Fenn"] Aedan Miles calmly wove through the asteroid field letting the force guide his hands as he did when not in combat. It was so peaceful letting himself fly at speeds others wouldn't dare through something like this. He knew these fighters had the better weapons Callan-class were older and he had designed these himself sadly they were made by Subach but he had checked his own over it was in prefect condition. Dread-class light fighters made to be the second to a dogfight and the first to flake off if things go to heavy.

OOC/ Yusan is using them same fighter as me.

 

[The Hound]

Lives hadn't been the only thing Turin Val Kur had stolen from the Republic during his desertion. His XA-5 X-Wing starfighter dropped out of hyperspace, far from his home in the Sanctum. It felt good to be behind the controls of an X-Wing again, though it made his heart heavy, bringing back memories of his time spent in the Republic that had been ripped from under him. He was enjoying a nice flight, a lightened load-out, nearly civilian. His two linked laser canons were primed in case of danger, but other than that both his torpedo bays were completely empty. He regretted that decision as he seemed to drop into what seemed like the beginings of a dogfight, though for what he didn't know.

It had been a very long time since he had piloted in battle and with him living day to day on the few credits he managed to take before the Republic purged and re-purposed his assets he hadn't been able to keep up on the starfighters that were being pumped out. He guessed though that they were a mix of Mandalorian, from the harsh brutality of their shapes, almost literally flying killing machines, and maybe...Silk holdings? It seemed rather basic and honestly, almost as ugly as the Mandalorian fighters. The other two he couldn't make out at all.

Ordo scanned the asteroids and picked up the other ships. His he rolled right and dipped under the first asteroid as his engines vibrated through the small ship.

This was were Ordo was most at home. He had always gravitated to ships. From childhood on Corellia to Field Marshall of the Mandalorians. This had been his love and had [member="Rianna Organa"] not come along it would probably be his only love.

He opened his mind and felt the ship the engines the sensors all became vivid in his mind. He dialed down his inertial dampeners as he pulled up to avoid a protrusion that rotated toward him. He saw the Purudii, the Callan and a pair of Dread-class fighters. What ever was happening they were all heading in to the field and he could feel at least one flying with their 'gut'.

"Guess I'll have to beat them to what ever is in there." He said to himself as he increased the speed of his black Vhe'viin.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]

Jorus noted the two Dread-class starfighters angling to match his course. Well, feth.

"Identify yourselves or be fired upon."

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan blinked as he heard the voice and he chuckled keying his com lightly. "Jorus Merrill is that you? This is Aedan Miles general of the Red Legion for the Mandalorians. I am sure you can ask either of the two Mandalorians here to confirm. My wingman today is well I am not entirely sure what he is anymore but his name is to be kept under wraps. Just here doing a little sight seeing you know heard rumors of a cache of gems and [member="Mia Monroe"] and I need some funding for a project." Aedan continued to fly as he talked and then he noted the appearance of the x-wing this was turning interesting indeed. He keyed his com again aiming a channel towards that fighter curiously. "This is Dragoon 1 to X-wing identify yourself please and thank you?" [member="Jorus Merrill"] [member="Ordo"] [member="Turin Val Kur"]

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]

"I say again, identify yourselves or be fired upon."

There was a slight stress on the plural. On edge from having his voice recognized, and not too charitably disposed towards pirate lords zeroing in on his vector, Jorus was not in a compromising kind of mood.

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan sighed and waved his hand lightly as he answered Jorus finally. "That would be my old friend the Vice Chancellor of the Republic Yusan Fenn not sure why he showed up here I was using this place to train. BUT he is probably in a piratey mood I gave it up not much benefit in it when your being hunted I like my life very much which is why I joined the Mandalorians." Aedan continued to cruise along calmly glancing at his radar he changed his course as a sign of good faith angling alongside [member="Jorus Merrill"] now so that the man would calm down.

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan's hand immediatly went to the comm channel switch, keying up his own systems to answer [member="Jorus Merrill"], his voice laughing. "Wooh, dont listen to him, definitely not here to cause you any more trouble than you start, Yusan Fenn, Echani Force User, Former Senator for Eshan and Former Vice Chancellor. Current Keeper of Order in the Senate, im just here to look for those gems and catch up with an old friend." [member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Jorus Merrill"] [member="Ordo"] [member="Turin Val Kur"] [member="Mia Monroe"]

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]

Feeling piratey while in the company of a notorious pirate lord was not a generally accepted way to get on the good side of a Warden of the Sky. And Yusan Fenn was worth four million credits.

Their courses put an asteroid between them, and once out of sight, Jorus whipped the Callan up in a sharp loop to come over the top of the rock, double-strength laser cannons snapping out at Fenn's Dread-class with Force-enhanced aim.

Sneak attack!

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan's eyes widened as the Callan-class was suddenly firing at Yusan's fighter and he pulled away quickly pumpiing all weapon power into his engines in case Jorus decided to fire on him as well. While Yusan was an old ally Aedan wasn't ready to die yet. He weaved in and out of the asteroids swiftly his eyes closed as he let the force guide him. As he dodged and wove his way deeper into the asteroids.

 

[Serah Oricion]

And like that he was being shot at, a volley crashing around him before he could get his engines going. "Holy shit... Aedan, who the hell is shooting at me." He tried to raise [member="Aedan Miles"] 's fighter again, all power to engines and shielding as the blaster bolts had hit his ship. There was damage but not enough to put him out of commision and as such he gunned it through the asteriods, using his senses and the force to help guide him. He switched the channel to [member="Jorus Merrill"] and spoke again. "Who ever the hell you are, im sorry i pissed you off but mind telling me why the hell youre firing on me?"

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Aedan Miles"] was rabbiting, and [member="Yusan Fenn"] was trying the same. But while both men were attempting to use the Force to aid their astrogation, that was the exact ability for which Master Jorus Quentin Merrill had sacrificed every other Force skill. That gave him enough edge to handle his ship being marginally less maneuverable than theirs. He was on Fenn's tail like white on rice, asteroids or no asteroids, heavy laser cannons spitting death and aiming to cripple the former Vice Chancellor's engines.

He wasn't the sort to talk while he fought.
