Dominion of Ebaq (New Republic Dominion)

[Alexandra Feanor]

​

​

[SIZE=11pt]A gas giant, surrounded by nine celestial satellites that moved slowly around the planet that sat there. Old mining colonies abandoned decades ago, abandoned halls and a graveyard of old ships torn apart by scavengers. Ebaq had at one time been the scene of one of the greatest battles in history, the site that Jacen Solo has taken in his journey down a dark path. But there was also the abandoned efforts to mine the mineral rich satellites that rested in the heavens.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Ebaq itself was an odd world, existing at the end of two Hyperlanes and open to so many opportunities but for centuries the planet and its moons remained untouched, most of the moons remaining useless but in those centuries, something had happened to one in particular. One of the moons had begun to grow life, vast plains and a cool air circulating on its surface. It was a marvelous site for a colony and trade outpost, a new world with many opportunities for the People of the Republic and the Core as a whole.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]On the planet also existed the ruined remains of Republic and Vong ships, the latter melding with the planets ecosystem, it’s biological nature allowing for the combination of ecosystems and possibly being the catalyst for the increased speed at with the moon grew. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Republic Personnel would be sent there to investigate the rundown Mining Station, see what happened to leave it so rundown and abandoned before mining crews come back and restart of the mineral rich mine, a mission extended to Mercenaries and those looking to gain a bit of knowledge themselves over what happened there. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]In addition, republic personnel would be sent to help get the outpost up and running. It would likely be far less exciting, but who knows what creatures might have still made it to the planet without the knowledge of the Republic. After all, with centuries of time for creatures to create descendants and vast numbers, the Republic could be stumbling right onto a hive left over from the past. [/SIZE]

Objective: Turn on the Power

Beth watched from the large, glass panel on her ship. The ole Bronzium mining station. It was rundown, the power was off, and it looked rather spooky. Like something terrible had happened, or would end up happen. She took a breath through her buy’ce as she thought about what might await inside the facility. It was an opportunity that the Republic couldn’t pass up.

If they could get these mines up and running again, they would save so much money. And then the money from the exports of the Bronzium would help boost the economy of not only the sector but of the entire Republic. Beth nibbled her lip as she glanced down to the datapad. The records were spotty, but she had a rudimentary blueprint found in the ole archives. The main base had 5 levels. 5 reactors at various parts of the station.

The scans told a certain story. 3 reactors needed to be turned on for the mining systems to turn on. The full 5 needed to be turned on for full efficiency.

The problem, though, is the automated security that was left behind. A malfunction of sorts has led to an overproduction of security droids. Including random traps. The group that was sent in to turn on the mines and refineries would have to handle the traps and avoid triggering the security droids – worst case, it could cause a total shut down. And if that happened… They’d be moving through vents.
Rough. But, Beth was optimistic. The Republic’s people were strong and hardy. They could do it. If nothing else, they could at least get the power turned back on. If they could do that… They could at least hack into the security terminals and shut down or even reprogram the security programs.

With that, she moved to the docking station outside of her ship as she waited for the others. Soon, they would be entering the facility. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too hard.

Location: Ebaq 9, Bronzium Mining Facility
Objective: Turn on the Power

Noah popped the joints in his back as he slipped the final plate of phrik that made up his armor into place on its bodyglove. Inspecting the armor to make sure there was no damage Noah began to go through his usual pre-operation routine of checking over his weapons, which were currently laid out on the table before him. First was his sword and while it wouldn't be as useful in the cramped quarters of the bronzium mining facility it might come in handy. Next were his knives which should be a essential part of any soldiers equipment. His pistols were there of course, freshly cleaned and oiled, they would come in hand in a close quarters battle. His rifle was also essential, its short length would provide in edge. And finally probably the most effective piece of gear he was going to have, his shotgun which would come in handy due to its massive stopping power at close range.

Now came securing his gear on his armor. His sword went into its sheath and over his back. His knives went into two different sheaths, one on his left shoulder and the other on his right shin. His pistols were put into two holsters as well, one in a crossdraw position on his chest with the grip facing towards the right and his other was on his left thigh. His rifle was secured by a retention lanyard that was connect to his shoulder. Finally his shotgun was placed in a special holster that was attached to the small of his back. Once he made sure all of his gear was secured he turned around and eyed the people he had brought with him.

He had brought with him an entire operational detachment from the New Republic Army Commandos. Fourteen men and women, some of the best soldiers that the New Republic could spare for a mission like this. Looking over all of him he smiled before slipping his helmet and motioning them to follow him. It took him a few minutes but he finally reached hid destination, [member="Beth Cadera"]. "Ah. So you're the one I have to blame for dragging me out to this force-forsaken moon when I could be at home with my wife and kids huh Beth?"

Where there was smoke there was fire. The fires she'd been chasing through intel collection teams lead her to the same point as her compatriots. So Naval Command had dispatched her with a team of four highly trained a lethal Agents. Where the Commandos were tough Soldiers, Masters of their Respective combat tasks, her own Division were Masters of the Surgical strike and intelligence activities.

The ability to land a small team and inflict maximum damage was what they had trained for.

The Small U shaped Gunboat roared over the surface of the place, coming to a halt just above where the station Mining Facility was. Dust kicked up from the wash of the repulsors, bronzium causing havoc with their sensors. Alarms blared, as she readjusted her Plate Carrier and set he headset to internal Team Comms.

"All up?"

"Aye Ma'am."

She flicked over to the Pilots with her thumb on the dial.

"What's the holdup?"

"Gonna have to land her by Mark One Eyeball. Standbye."

She nodded, and rose, holding the overhead strap.

"Standbye team."

They'd be with their compatriots on the ground in moments. Most likely they'd have exactly no clue who they even were....

"You sure this is the right place" Finnis asked the pilot of transport as they made it out of hyperspace Ebaq didn't look like much certainly not a planet of any relevance to the Republic.
"Yeah the coordinates are right, now go put your helmet on soldier we'll be landing in 10."
Finnis shrugged his shoulders in went back to retrieve his gear his favorite color was so it was only natural that his armor was decorated with it. He picked up the helmet and just stared at it who would have thought that he would have ever ended up this far away from Corellia he would have thought longer but he was interpreted by the blaring sound of alerts and flashing lights signaling that they were about to land. He put his helmet on and grabbed his twin Lucky Seven pistols twirling them two times for good luck.
The first thing he noticed as he walked off the ship's ramp was the mining station looked like it had seen better days or more appropriately years. If he was gonna be stationed here for a long period of time he was definitely going to have to talk to someone about living conditions.
He signaled for the rest of his squad to exit the ship and together the proceded to a door only to realize that the power was out when they tried to get through.
"Well I guess that means no welcome committee huh guys."

It was interesting to get back into action, though mercenary work recently had been a bit fun it was nice to do something more worth while then track down slavers with some Jedi hotel owner. What was more such a mission had many unknowns, the thought of something going wrong and crap hitting the fan hung over the entire operation, it made things exciting, last time she was in a place like this it was a cruise liner full of zombies. Was quite the target practice day, though this time around she'd be going in with allies, not meeting up with them by accident and some random point in the ship with no idea what was going on.

As the ship came in for it's a approach she did one final check of her equipment as per standard procedure, weapons, check, armor, all secure and HUD booted up, Knifes? sharp and ready to taste flesh, unless the enemies possibly inside were droids. Such a bore, can't feel pain or bleed, just spark and fall over, at the very least it was something to shoot at, reports about the station had alerted the team to possibly defense and security emplacements still active, though that that entailed specifically was yet to be known. Only time would tell, speaking of which it was time to move out, Chekita filling out of her room and heading to meet up with the rest of the squad taking part in the operation.

Making ground fall her eyes scanned the different groups already present, another Mando already having been here for a bit, the one apparently responsible for this little trip if Noah was to be belived, she was certain the man was joking. Along with said Republic Commando came a fire team of a reasonable size, their numbers being boosted by what looked to be a clone trooper styled man with his own squad, trying to get the doors open even though the power was out, kind of silly but funny to see. "First question I want to ask before we get started, do we have any detail maps of this pace and where certain utilities are located"?

Alexandra stretched, her hands reaching far above her head as she twisted and cracked her back real quick. The sound sharp and quick as she shook her body and smiled, finally back where belonged and looking through old ruins that looked hundreds of years old. Which they were, broken ships and a vast expanse of growth covered metal and life itself. The battles of the Vong war were something wholly unique in that manner.

She looked over her shoulders, seeing the others and smiling a bit lopsidedly, wondering about the reasons for why some of them were there. Officially the expedition was purely for the personal gain of those that came, but it would be nice to see some of them donate their finds to the museums of the republic and the galaxy.

Though to be honest she would be a bit selfish should they discover anything that would expand her own knowledge of the past and the people who made up it. It was curious to see just what she might find.

One individual for now stuck out to her, her eyes drifting and coming to rest on the Senator who had come with the group for this little expedition. If she remembered correctly, this man was from Sarapin, though he was a bit younger than most senators, not a shocking fact given history but still a fact.

“Senator Berooken, if you do not mind me introducing myself, my name is Alexandra Feanor. I regularly serve at the behest of the Chancellor so am quite happy to make your acquaintance.” She turned, straightening her back a bit more and holding out a hand once she was closer. She was uncertain of the man’s personality quite yet but was curious to find out as her icy blue eyes looked at the man. For now, she was holding the illusion she tended to keep, silver hair, no tail, and the silver robes she was known for. She preferred it when people kept this idea of her in mind, made walking around without the illusion easier.

"Thank you Alexandra I admit that it's quite an honor to be in presence of someone so many people hold in such high regard. I must thank you for allowing me to come along with you, Senate business while important can cause one to lose perspective of things." He shook the offered hand.
It was something of a rarity for him leave Sarapin for any reason other than to go to his Senate chambers, but sometimes things were just that important and getting a chance to see some of the most historic ruins in the galaxy was certainly important enough for him to make an appearance. He was looking forward to finding some new addictions to his collection of rare items that he had started gathering at home and anything from Vong war would certainly be worthy. He had learned about the war in school and it had always fascinated him because of the large scale amount of destruction that took place. It was also one of the few events that managed to bring people in the galaxy together, which he knew was no small feat.
It was almost funny to think that the Ebaq used to be respected for its mining production, it was a reminder for him how quickly things could change. You had to either adapt or you fell that was his philosophy and he tried to live by that.
He's heard a lot about [member="Alexandra Feanor"] but he preferred to make his own decisions about people rather than rely on stories, he would undoubtedly learn more as they continued on there expedition.

It didn’t take long for the teams to arrive & assemble. She wait patiently for the teams to arrive, settle, and prepare themselves for the journey into the facility. Five power sources. They could do it. They just needed to be careful. Beth had tried to think of a way to deactivate the security programs from the outside and enlisted some slicers to see if it was possible. Regrettably, the only way is to get the actual power on.

Her armored fingers danced along the top of her holstered gun as she nibbled her lip under her buy’ce. Beth chuckled through her comms at Noah’s comment. “Maaaybe. But, I’m sure your wife appreciates your service today,” she teased in response. It seemed that most of the others had brought with them extra. She gave a chuckle to Finis as he tried to open one of the doors. Indeed, there would be no opening of any doors yet. They would be entering through a side duct.

She gave a nod to Chekita as she passed the datapad in her hands. “They’re old blueprints, but they are all we could dig up. I’m confident about the upper floors, but some of the lower levels could be damaged. We also don’t know if anyone has used these since before the Gulag plague or not. There is also reports that people have inhabited this station during the plague and even up to recently, so we may not really know what we’ll find.”

With that in mind, she gave a nod for them to move as they moved to the duct. It was easy enough to remove the piece of metal, crouch and then crawl through.

After a few moments, she’d land on the second level, near the middle. A large open room, mostly white, with some rust. The light from her buy’ce was the only thing light in the room, aside from the groups lights once they arrived. “Be careful. We can split up if you guys want, but I prefer we stay close. The AI in the droids went rogue, at least per the reports, so they’ve set up traps. Once we trigger something, they’ll be all over us.” With that in mind. She gave a nod.

There was a generator on each floor. The second floor would be the easiest to start with.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

The woman smiled when the senator mentioned her reputation, knowing the words were likely meant to flatter given her past actions. Alexandra knew she was no more than a tool and mouth piece most days for others, unable to speak or do as she so chose. The most recent example being the announcements on Kuat during that debacle, an action she had done due to the absence of the Chancellor and Solan.

That was in the past, and had been a very specific situation that now held little weight in her mind. She would not be returning to the planet, not soon, for now the planet was in the hands of those that it concerned. Her place was out on the frontier worlds, helping where her body was needed. Her own choices could be held back, duty before belief.

But today, today fell in line with her beliefs as she itches to return to that history hunter she was, to crawl through dust, dirt, and the dark to find the markers of the past that lay below.

“Thank you Senator Berooken, but I doubt that is necessary. I am no different than yourself in those regards.” She paused considering his last statement. “I can understand losing your perspective on things because of duty, that’s something I am guilty of.” She leaned to the side, looking over the expedition for any more familiar faces.

[Katia Voltaire]

Location: Ship Graveyard, Ebaq 5

Coming to Ebaq 5 was tough for Katia to wrap her head around. To her, it was a morbid reminder of what was, and what was to come. The once powerful Vong and Republic had duked it out high above this moon and what had it gotten them? Forgotten. Each with such unshakable views, unable to see all the destruction they brought to the galaxy could only be balanced by their own. As the new senator of Caamas she was responsible for the well-being of more people than she had ever before, she could not see them suffer the same way. That's why it was so important for her to be here. She needed to take something positive away from this bloodshed.

Katia landed not too far off from the rendezvous. It was only a short walk and she took the time to feel out the moon. After the battles that took place here she thought she would be overwhelmed with grief and despair. Instead, there was something else. With each step Katia took she only felt the planet's void and neglect. There was a wanting here, it was quiet but promising.

As she approached the meeting place she adjusted her military uniform, straightening the lapels and dusting off the bottom of her skirt. Lately, Katia had been told by politicians to start wearing more "clothing of the people" but keeps disregarding the advice. It was important to her to still be seen as a soldier, even if she had to be taken further and further from the front lines.

Drawing nearer she took in the faces standing around. Among them were [member="Lux Berooken"], the senator from Serepin and [member="Alexandra Feanor"], a revered Jedi master. She hadn't met either before but their reputations preceded them. The pair were chatting a little as she arrived so Katia waited a beat before giving her greetings.

"Master Feanor, Senator Berooken, allow me to make my introductions." She smiled at them both, tipping her head to salute as she addressed them. "My name is Katia Voltaire, senator of Caamas. I had hoped our first meeting would have been in a bit nicer surroundings, never the less, it's a pleasure to meet you both. Were we expecting much more?"

[Solan Charr]

Ebaq’s location made it a prime location for a trade outpost and colony, residing at the end of two of the galaxy’s largest trade routes. While not a planet of military importance, it would still do well for the military to continue its history of helping the populace of the galaxy rather than simply being a combat focused organization. It was with that frame set that Solan had ordered a portion of the Republic First sector fleet to aid in the construction.

One of the officers that had been stationed over the planet for the duration of the operation was a officer who had made their way through the Naval Academy. It was not unusual for those who make their way through to be made captains, the republic Navy still growing and stabilizing after the defeat of the Anaxes imperials. While the planet could not be secured, the imperials there had been put down as far as a threat to the core.

There were whispers, unease on the winds but the Republic needed to find its place again and running towards those rumors with teeth bared would only make things worst. That was why the Ebaq outpost would only retain a small garrison and fleet, similar in situation to other economic worlds. It would be open to full membership, but not forced into it as the world would be focused towards the housing and growth of corporate offices for companies throughout the galaxy. A hub in republic space and the Core itself that allowed more freedom to those corporations.

Solan himself sat in a crate, looking through a data pad and wondering as to what today would bring, his eyes heavy by this point with the aftermath of Kuat on his shoulders.

 

[Neyana]

Nicole stood in front of [member="Solan Charr"] carrying a datapad of her own. He had requested that Nicole takes charge of seeing how the outpost is built and how much materials needed to be requested to preform such a task. The choice of style she picked was meant to house a small force of troops, yet it still had that republic look towards it. She purposed a few other buildings, one for relaxation and other such necessities, so the men wouldn't be too bored when stationed here.

"Father from what materials I can see that were brought here, I can guess the base will be built in around a few weeks to a month. Give or take how long the supplies keep coming and how quickly the work force manages to operate." And she heads over to hand him her datapad for him to check the status on the current work force.

 

[Lux Berooken]

Lux was aware from a young age that he wasn't like most people, he was different. He viewed everyone and everything through the lens of what you can do for me or to me. Those who could do things for him were viewed as allies and sometimes even friends and those people who could do things to him were considered threats and had to be dealt with one way or another. When his eyes meet those of [member="Katia Voltaire"] he was unsure of what to make of her and to make things more interesting she was a fellow Senator which meant that he would have to pay close attention to her for future reference.

His mind was so preoccupied with analyzing the situation that he had almost forgotten to respond to her.
He put on his carefully choreographed smile that he always used when he was trying to come across as charming and sincere "Katia the pleasure is all mine' he respectfully bowed his head "Meeting a fellow colleague is always a welcome occurrence. I trust that during our expedition we'll get a chance to get to know each other better."
It wasn't until he noticed that she was wearing a military uniform that he looked to [member="Alexandra Feanor"] and wondered briefly if the suite he was wearing was overkill for an expedition.He wasn't wearing a tie so he doubted it besides dressing down just wasn't his style.

"No I'm not stopping to check on the wiring", Abigail replied, clearly a bit frustrated. "We're probably already late as it is."

"No I don't know what we're doing here, but we WOULD have know if you hadn't been so damn stubborn. I was aware the suit malfunctioned, you didn't need to keep bothering me about it! So please, just stay quiet again while I handle this... Thank you."

Abigail moved quickly, aided by her new suit, even though it seemed to be having a few problems every now and then. Ah well, she'd look at it back home. She needed to do some maintenance eventually anyway

But she was getting ahead of herself, she wasn't home yet, she was here, and she was supposed to help people. It took her a bit of time, but she managed to find a - what she assumed to be - side entrance. Once inside, it wasn't that hard to catch up with the rest. It was a rather big group already, after all.

Not really feeling the need to get mistaken for the enemy and shot, Abigail let her helmet retract itself into her armour as she approached the others.

"Hello there, I'm bit late, I know. Let's just blame it on... traffic, shall we?", she chuckled as she realised she had little to no clue about what they were doing here.

"Would anyone be so kind to give me a quick recap of the mission? Beth? Please?", she then asked, not really wishing to go in blindly.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Katia Voltaire"] had approached rather quickly and with an address that Alexandra had to blink and think on, not expecting the title of master with the Republic's jedi order now defunct. As far as she had been concerned, the title of Jedi Master had never fit her but such honors had been accepted by her because they were things of true and honest respect, nothing more or less. Alexandra continued to smile as the man accepted Katia's greeting, letting him speak before she did and giving a bow of her head when she started.

"Senator Voltaire, a pleasure to meet you as well, though I must regret to say that I am no master, just a archaeologist working with the Republic. I thank you none the less for the words though and look forward to getting to know the both of you. I had thought about joining the senate myself in the future, running for Carida maybe? But that thought is best saved for later.... for now, shall we continue into the skeleton?" She waved her hand, pointing towards the overgrown skeleton of the ships that laid out before them, the nearest being a Republic cruiser from almost a millennia ago.

Her hands crossed behind her back and she looked over the entrance way, making her way over right now and seeing the excavation party forward. Alexandra wanted to see just what was waiting for them and she was sure the Senators wouldn't mind getting a bit dusty rummaging through the past. After all.

Who didn't like a little bit of adventure?

Noah chuckled at Beth's answer to his joke and gave her a somewhat hard pat on the back. "Eh I was just kidding with you vod. Alex is with the expedition in that ship graveyard around Ebaq 5 anyway so its not like I'd be able to have some alone time with my children or anything." Another snarky and sarcastic comment came from Noah as he followed Beth and plucked the datapad from Chekita's hand and quickly studied before handing it back with a polite nod. Noah made sure that his weapons and armor systems because the last thing you wanted during a firefight was for your weapon to jam or your HUD to shut down.

Following Beth to the vent and then following her inside and he made sure to keep his weapon down but ready to pull up just in case anything happen. Noah eyes swept over the room they were in and he was quietly directing his men and women. "Alright everyone, NODS on. Watch those corners and be careful we have possible traps and droids."

Finis wasn't crazy about the idea of crawling through a side duck but seeing as there was no way in and they needed to get the power back on the best option was to follow Beth
Crouching down and making his way through the duck, all the while trying to avoid getting anything on his armor that he had just cleaned the day before. He could barely contain the excitement and anticipation that he was feeling about the possibility of danger lurking around.
He followed Noah and switched on NODS improving his visibility in the room it. He decided that he and his men would take point, droids could be crafty enemies they weren't alive and they were capable of adapting to most conventional ways of fighting, unfortunately for them Finis was not someone who could be classified as conventional. He could hear his own footsteps as he began to approach a corner one pistol already drawn he moved with only the type of quickness a lifetime of training could afford someone but the corner was empty.
"Obviously It'd be better if they weren't trying to kill us but seriously guy's who isn't impressed that rogue AI's laid traps out for us it's like something out of a holo novel."

She was more then happy to take the data pad from Beth, eyes scanning along it's digital map, taking the details, "any amount of detail is welcome regardless of how old it is, but considering the abandoned nature of this station I do not think much will have changes in the past hundreds of years... just saying". "Still you do have a point, if we can get the power up through it may be possible to use the station control rooms to see which parts are still intact and which areas are damaged, maybe contact anyone that may be still on this station". As for people using the station, with the current power out and no sigh of any ship on the approach she had a gut feeling no real sentient life was on-board, as for other creatures, well that was another story, there could very well be some sort of Vong being still prowling around

Stashing away the blueprints she followed the rest of the group into the air ducts, a situation she was quite familiar with, many a time these metal corridors served as the ideal escape route from assassins. "Aye Aye Mister Cork", she replied to Noah before entering into the ducts, switching her rifle to full auto can never be to careful in tight spaces like this, maybe she'd also have a chance to stab something. Soon she two was out and in the hallway, quickly checking the blueprints of the station to see their current location, "second floor, this are of the station should be the most protected against outside damage, but at the same time would probably be the main area were people should live".

 

[Katia Voltaire]

Location: Ship graveyard

Katia eyes furrowed in confusion. Perhaps she was wrong but with her years spent with the Jedi she thought she’d be able to tell when a master of the force stood in front of her. For a second she worried to herself. Had she lost the keen eye and senses she developed? She shrugged it off as a mistake and gave it no further thought. Instead, Katia continued on in the warm tone she had been using.

“Senator Berooken, I’m sure we will become quick friends. And my apologies,” She smiled, bowing a second time to [member=Alexandra Feanor]. “Long stints in stuffy offices and not enough time spent at the temples.” Katia laughed to herself but at the same time did feel a sense of disconnection ring true in her heart.

As she finished speaking she took a step forward and stood beside Alex, looking up in awe at the ancient wreckage. A quick smile shot over to [member=Lux Berooken] was more attention than she wanted to take from the ship, but enough to kindly invite him to her side. Without waiting for him, she couldn’t help but wander even further toward the Republic ship. As she reached it her hand outstretched and she gently let it slide on cool rusted metal.

While her mind was elsewhere Katia spoke in attempt not to fully take herself away from her companions. “Carida is a noble planet and I’m sure the people would welcome you as their Senator,” Her head was ablaze with what information could be taken away from inside the ship and she could no longer take it anymore. She spun around to face the party. “Well, as Alex suggested, shall we? She gestured to a large opening in the hull, a perfect place for them to slip in and start investigating.
