Faction Central Command Hub

[Laphisto]

Beyond the military checkpoint and up a turbo lift system lies the Central Command Hub, the strategic heart of Aurora Station. This highly secure area is the nerve center for all military operations, brimming with state-of-the-art monitoring and communication equipment.

Stepping out of the turbo lift, you are immediately struck by the atmosphere of intense focus and controlled activity. The Central Command Hub is a vast, circular room with tiered levels, each filled with sleek consoles and holographic displays. The air is charged with a sense of urgency and precision, as personnel move with purpose, their eyes glued to screens or engaged in hushed conversations.

At the center of the room, a large, holographic table projects a 3D map of the station and its surrounding space. This tactical display is constantly updated with real-time data, showing ship movements, potential threats, and ongoing operations. Senior officers and strategists stand around the table, analyzing the information and issuing commands.

Surrounding the central holographic table, rows of workstations are manned by operators who monitor various aspects of the station's operations. Each console is equipped with multiple screens displaying a myriad of data streams—ship diagnostics, security feeds, communication logs, and more. The operators wear headsets, communicating swiftly with other parts of the station or with ships in the vicinity. On the walls, large screens provide a broader overview, displaying critical information such as tactical maps, fleet status, and alert levels. These screens are constantly monitored by dedicated personnel, ensuring that any significant developments are immediately brought to the attention of the command staff.

A section of the hub is dedicated to communications, with operators managing both internal and external channels. Secure lines to other military outposts, ships, and allied forces are maintained here, ensuring seamless coordination across vast distances. The hum of equipment and the steady chatter of communication create a backdrop of constant activity. Adjacent to the main command area, glass-walled offices provide space for high-ranking officers to confer in private. These offices are equipped with advanced communication systems, allowing for secure discussions and strategic planning.

Little was known about The Crimson Mandalorian, however the many that have heard of him and his achievements know him as High General Silas Vizsla. The many that fought by his side noted him as highly skillful, an expert tactician and a loyal leader. Silas had made contact with an informant, one sent on a search for many cycles, and went to make the transaction more secure. Setting off urgently, one last entry was recorded into the system database embeded with a time lock.
As rotations came and went, slowly the hopes of his return began to fade among his men, eventually marking their General as missing in the database unknowing of whats to come of them.

A modified Kom'rk Fighter exists out of hyperspeed, it's engines stalling from their extensive use. Seeing what seems to be a station and having a radar unoperational, through the result of Hyper Skipping, Silas turns on his transponder. The ship reads that the jump was successful to the aproximate location set, however through multiple trials already it was hard to rely on it's readings.

As Engineers and Comm Officers shuffle around trying to achieve their duties, the radar picks up on a small signal of an incoming vessel. Sightly farther out of range to pick up on the signal fully, the Officers can only hope that it's enough to identify the vessel, blindly hoping it's not some form of trap.

As the struggle to strengthen the signal goes on slowly, through determination and persistence, they soon begin to pull some information of the vessel.

"Sir." A communication specialist calls out, holding a datapad in his hand. He makes his report to his Superior Officer "We are receiving partial information on the craft. It shows that it has clearance codes with our data banks, however the last recorded flight plan was more than half a cycle around a star. My judgement says to not trust it, I feel like it is a trap but the orders are yours."

The Commander, looks at the data closely. With every second passing by the enlisted around him fall to the curiosity of the proceeding orders that will be laid on them. Some have their concerns, while others have an anticipation on their new tasks. Time ticks by for a few seconds but to many in that room, it felt as if many minutes flew by. The Officer clears out his throat and adjusts his posture. "I will let our High Commander know of our present situation and shall go on his command." He presses a button on his commlink and speaks into it. "Greetings High Commander, There is a matter here that requires your attention as quickly as possible. We seem to have spotted a missing craft." He puts down his arm and sits down in his chair, reading the data that continues to pile in slowly through the weak data transfer.

 

[Laphisto]

Laphisto would make his way to the Stations CIC arms crossing over his chest with a raised brow as he approached the central computer peering down at the information provided to him. He had a long day already with his initial tour of the station with Aether of the Iron Order and Shem Spinner which then immediately lead to another meeting with Darth Reign it seemed the order has been progressing rather well as of late and now a mysterious ship appeared on radar transmitting order codes.


Though laphisto didn't need to see the transponder to know exactly who or what he was looking at. He recognized the Kom'rk Fighter. The very one he had seen to the personal modifications of. It seemed High General Silas Vizsla had returned from his mission. Laphisto was glad to see the man back having thought that perhaps he had perished on his mission to find the Tracyn. Laphistos personal warship that had been traveling at sunlight for well over four thousand years in search of his ancestral home.

" Activate the tractor beams and pull the ship into the engineering bay. I want a medical team and engineers sent ahead of its arrival. That's the High generals ship. "

Without much more of a word he sent a communication to High admiral Ali Kare to meet him in the engineering bay if she was available. In terms of urgent matters .

 

[Silas Vizsla]

Feeling the pull of the tractor beams, Silas uses the remaining fuel left to adjust the ship giving himself a front row seat to the show. Closing the gap between the station and the ship, the responder signal establishes a stronger connection with the stations database. The Database completes it's download and confirms the origin of the ship and all needed clearance codes as well. "Sir, the vessel is being brought in. It seems as if the General adjusted himself to see the approach." A crewman tells the Commander, with a curious tone in his voice.

As the ship approaches the station, it begins it's landing preparations. Besides some missing parts and the lack of fuel the ship is unharmed, though some mechanics would say otherwise. The ship sends another signal, that sends directly to Silas's personal quarters. The office and his quarters chime to life. Being one who likes to plan ahead, Silas's normal spaces were designed to activate and resume last projects and operations.

 

[Laphisto]

Laphisto was the first to arrive in teh cumincations center and immediatly approached teh central holotable trappign away at teh consol and inputting his command codes before stepping off to the side and gesturing to Silas Vizsla to approach and input his data chip " after you High General."

usually laphisot wasnt one to approach this particular table. but when he did it usually meant somethign important was goign on. and so the usual lingering stair of a officer was left lingering thier way with Owen gisk and Tia kovar even approaching and standing at the table. owen was teh first to speak arms crossed over his chest as he stoked his beard. " whats going on commander?"

owen had become the main head officer of the station making sure everything was going accoring to plan. taking a more administrative role. he had been with the dragonoid far longer than most everyone else on this station. he had been there from the very begining.

tia upon seeing Ali Kare walk in imediatly went into a salute. she was the selkaths commanding officer after all and she imediaytly responed with a " commanders on deck" which got teh entire communication hub up out of thier seat and saluting. all save for owen that is who just gave a gentle nod towards the three.

 

[Ali Kare]

Ali followed the High Commander to the command hub, ignoring the questioning glances from crew and soldiers at the sudden reappearance of the High General. That, and the fact that the three highest ranked people in the Order were all in one place, walking together. It had been a while since she'd experienced that last...maybe only one other time? She couldn't recall, but knew that she hadn't been able to get to know Silas before he'd gone off on his expedition.

The doors slid open before them, Laphisto leading them into the room. Ali swept her gaze around, spotting Owen Gisk and nodded back at him respectfully. She also saw Tia Kovar, one of the few here that met her high standards. Tia was close to...a friend, one could say. The High Admiral returned her salute, the corner of her mouth turning up. That was as close to a smile as she ever got.

The three approached the table, and she waited for Silas Vizsla to display his new project. She leaned on the holotable, blue light glowing in her eyes.

 

[Silas Vizsla]

Silas walks up to the holotable, he takes a wire, connects it to his wrist gauntlet, and starts the upload. Seconds pass by, the holotable chimes in completion and presents the data. Silas unhooks the cable from his wrist and stands back slightly. "High Commander, High Admiral, I'd like to introduce you to Project: Shield." The holotable processes the information given and projects the models provided for the project. "An advancement into our armament and protection, these new armors are designed to fit units in any degree and range. Each specialized field would be issued a new set of armor that not only provides better protection against the environments and elements around them. It will also give them aid in their specialized fields to further equip them for success. Silas adjusts the display to focus on the EVO variants and Commando concepts. "This will also allow us to further expand in terms of the Army and it's specialists that can also be utilized in our Navy. Such as the Commando Unit, utilizable in Recon or pinpoint missions that require accuracy to complete. The Harsh EVO or Marine variation can utilize themselves in harsher environments and support normal standard trooper units to turn the tides in fights where we are experiencing heavy losses in our battlefront.

 

[Laphisto]

Laphisto watched the holographic display with a tint of curiosity and a bit of disappointment. Could he see fully he was sure he would be able to admire the display more thoroughly. Though instead he simply looked on, as Commander Tarian stood at his side whispering and describing what was before him.

The good commander usually was always with the High commander, the man had served along side laphisto since the first battle and outposts of the Lilaste order and laphisto found use in the man's skills and particularly in the fact that he was forced dead. Undetectable to force sensitives. Appearing more akin to a ghost than a real person.

As laphisto listened to both Silas Vizsla and the commander at his side laphisto gripped his chin in thought and gave a small nod their way " it seems you have been busy High General. Though I'm sure searching for a ghost ship gave you plenty of time"

He half chuckled before clearing his throat some what "while our standard armor has basic environmental protection it has no specialty's. This project shield will be a much needed boon to certain battalions depending on Thier deployment. You have done well High General"

Turning to Ali Kare laphisto gave a small nod her way " what say you High admiral?"

 

[Ali Kare]

The holotable shimmered to life, projecting some writing and images of armor. Project Shield, Silas called it. More armor models projected into the air, each suited for different environments. That part didn't really matter to Ali, but she was sure Commander Tarian would be interested. When the High General switched over to his EVO variants, she leaned forward slightly. 'Harsher environments', he'd said. What environment could be harsher than outer space?

"High General, by harsh environments do you mean the vacuum of space, perchance? I'm sure I could use some troops in space, maybe send them to an enemy vessel with baradium charges. People are much smaller than even a simple bomber, so it is likely they will remain undetected. Yes, that would be quite useful," Ali said, pondering the idea. The suit would be much more expensive than the other EVO variants, likely because of the pressure regulation, air supply, and of course the weapons that the soldier would need to carry.

[Silas Vizsla]

"These EVO variants are quite interchangeable, they come with a respiration system that can survive the lack of Oxygen. Though the basepack is a limited oxygen supply their filtration gear is very effective. For example, Hazardous Gases that our baseline units can't filter out stand no chance against the new filters that will be implemented in the armor. The gear itself is interchangeable, and can be adjusted and fitted effectively, providing them with the protection needed in the environment. However units that specialize in areas like previously mentioned Hazardous Gas areas or Space will be issued with better Oxygen Supplies granted the users access to hours or even a few days in those conditions."

Silas pulls up the Commando variation and put its display next to the EVO Variant. "The Commando units, will be assigned new advanced training courses. The goal and purpose of them are to be precise and accurate, using and doing whatever is needed to complete their assigned mission will be their top most priority. These units will be paired into squads of five members. Each members will have a unique skill of their own that enhances the teams efficiency and success. This would be the type of unit to use if you want a command vessel taken down covertly and will enable missions to be completed with less resources. They can also be utilized in recon, ambush, sabotage, espionage, demolitions and more. Though these units can better be used when you must focus your attention elsewhere."

 

[Laphisto]

Laphisto watched the display with a bit of curiosity his arms crossing over his chest softly as high General Silas Vizsla spoke and he let the man finish or least waited for a gap in conversation in order to speak up " while I am proud to see your eagerness High General, what would these commandos serve that our current spec ops teams the Elghaseki don't already accomplish?"

Laphisto's question was more curiosity than it was trying to be dismissive if they already had specialized team that did what these commandos were planned on doing. A part of him feared that it would send the wrong message.

Ali Kare

 

[Silas Vizsla]

Silas turns his head to acknowledge the High Commander. "I acknowledge the shared objectives and utility between the Commando units and the Elghaseki. However, with the Elghaseki currently comprising eight members, I propose a trial period wherein four squads of commandos are established and deployed, with each squad consisting of five members, resulting in a total of twenty active commandos available on standby. Regarding their roles and differentiation from the Elghaseki, the commando units can be leveraged for a diverse array of critical tasks. They can be instrumental in the training of recruits, encompassing pilots, support, and infantry units, and can also serve as dedicated personal bodyguards for prominent individuals, such as diplomats and high-ranking personnel. Unlike other units that necessitate varying armaments for specific missions, the commando units will receive specialized training in the use of a singular firearm with multi-purpose attachments. Their adeptness will span from precise sniping to swift neutralization of hostile air support, with their specialized armament playing a pivotal role in their designated tasks. Additionally, their armor will be heavily fortified in pivotal vulnerable areas, ensuring both durability and flexibility to preserve the troopers' agility and mobility."

Silas adjusts his posture and straightens himself. "I understand the concerns about the potential messaging implications of creating and using new commando units. It's crucial to address these concerns to ensure that the introduction of these units isn't seen as an aggressive or escalatory move. To prevent any misunderstandings, we need to proactively communicate the specific roles of the commando units extensively. One way to do this is by engaging in transparent and comprehensive communication with the public and other potential allies. This will involve providing detailed information about the primary responsibilities of the commando units, including their involvement in support and protection. By clearly articulating their defensive and strategic nature, we can avoid any misperceptions about their purpose. Furthermore, establishing robust rules of engagement and stringent operational protocols for the commando units will underscore their intended defensive mission and prevent any misunderstanding about their deployment. It's crucial to provide in-depth explanations regarding the rationale behind their establishment and to outline the specific functions they will fulfill. This level of transparency will help mitigate the risk of any misinterpretations while still effectively leveraging the unique capabilities of the commando units."

 

[Laphisto]

Laphisto nodded lightly with a small chuckle pushing from his throat as he stood himself up right and nodded towards Silas Vizsla " my concern lays more so in how the Elghaseki might interpret it. some might say that thier division would be replaced by these proposed commando units.. and while you were away the orders training regime has changed drastically. we no longer suffer from a lack of man power. and some of the other officers have created a new training manual that has become the core feature for all Lilaste troops."

as laphisto spoke he sent the High general a copy of the Training manual in question the "Forged in Fire: The Training Regimen of the Lilaste Order Army "while i can see the use of your commandos. i would hate to push others out of a role already designed for them "

laphistos mind went to Trace Xyston who he had worked with on a few occasions. and haven read thier report about thier encounter with Ubbal Dusat he had respect for the man thats for sure. and in this insight he had a moment of clairity " what if instead of building a commando team from new soliders, instead we re organize the existing Elghaseki. give them to your commando program. take a few squads and have them be the corner stone. we can blend the already existing special forces that we have with your new forces"

his eyes flicked to Ali Kare slightly as he spoke " i know the ground forces are not your domain but you are a valued member of this council and your opinion would be appreciated High admiral"
