Once again We Rise with a little help from our friends (GA, RHOA, Allies, Friends)

[Faith Organa]

​

Location: Planet Alderaan​

​

Objective: To rise from the ashes​

​

How many times could they rise up? How many times would they come? Faith did not know but when she addressed the High Council and the people of Alderaan she told them they would always rise up. They would have to destroy Alderaan again and all her people to keep them from rising up. She wasn't sure that even then they wouldn't shake their fist at the Galaxy and tell them they were here.

She called out to friends and allies and asked them to come, to help the Alderaani build again. Already teams were on the ground spanning out in the three places hardest hit. New Aldera, New Crevasse City, and Jurrano.

She still hadn't heard about Claire. New Crevasse City was tricky building inside the canyons it was easy to tumble and bury homes and businesses. Rescue teams had not reached the shelters there yet but they were still digging people out. The Objectives were simple at least in her mind. New Crevasse needed excavators and rescue teams to find the missing families.

New Aldera seemed shattered to nothing and while buildings were gone. Still the people found ways to survive they came out of the safe places in need of simple things like food and water. The Palace walls had failed and portions of the palace would need to be rebuilt but that was secondary to the hospital, homes, businesses, university and the museum.

Jurrano was another story all together the Sith had made a concentrated effort there as well. They would need to rebuild much of the city and move the people until it was rebuilt. Word was there were still Sith troops on the planet they would need either to be captured or removed.

Alderaan was more than three cities. There were the jungles, the desert, the islands, the north, the south....the beaches, the valleys...so much more and that was why they survived.

SGT Trask stood with Faith as the messages of help poured in. Alderaan was not forgotten. Alderaan would not forget those that came to help either. She sighed heavily. "It's time SGT let's do something other than stand here."

 

[Ugohr Poof]

Location: Dulvoyinn -> Alderaan
Objective: Relief supplies

"Humanitarian convoy ready, sir" the Squib mission head acknowledged.

"Mesa really hope dat there-sa will still be escorts in orbit; wesa not want oursa maxibig shipment of supplies to be stolen by pirates"

Three Exodus-class bulk freighters, loaded with supplies donated from areas such as Malastare and Skor, such as Malastarian fuel, Squib chocolate, and other foodstuffs, like pizzas, Skor cakes on the one hand, or supplies that are vital to reconstruction, such as duracrete, durasteel, glasteel and prefab shelters on the other hand. But in the haste to get the work done, to get the supplies there to aid with the beleaguered planet, he had overlooked the security portion, which he hoped would be there anyhow. He was about to depart to Alderaan, and, under his watch, the Squibs on Skor began to appreciate what Pizza Hutt actually did for the local populace. But the question is: would there even be spots on the planet capable of landing a kilometer-long freighter near those cities most heavily affected? He would certainly need it at this stage of the game; otherwise, air-drops were the only ways to get the job done and, from his standpoint, that was less than ideal. Mesa hopen dat wesa not too late, he thought, while realizing that the supplies were bought on credit, which usually meant that interest was the order of the day, written-off or not.

"Wesa in hyperspace: theysa have waited long enough"

The Sith attacks on the FWC just once again proved their hypocrisy, she herself had fought a bounty hunter with the take no one alive mentality and it was not rumor that the TSE did not think twice about using pirates and dangerous criminals to do their dirty work. So with the whole, FWC being corrupt and a staging ground for insurgents that raided reasoning came through Chekita could not help but laugh on the inside, it was just so ridiculous how blind Sith were. Well sooner of later with their ever growing empires would the Sith and First Order come into contact, and when that happened the Mandaloiran was not very confident in the ability for both powers to keep their peace treaty.

But that was a long way off, and as of now Chekita would simply look at the present matter, that being the continuation of her duties to guarding the royal family of Alderan, as of now that person being Queen [member="Faith Organa"] as she addressed SGT Trask. Donned in her battle master armor the usually cheerful and carefree woman had an air of seriousness about her while accompanying the planetary ruler, looking like a Senate Commando in action, if not for the black camo colour pattern on her suit.

[Sor-Jan Xantha]

In the days immediately following the events of Atrisia's devastation at the hands of the Sith, the people of Alderaan had been among the first responders to the people of Atrisia.

Atrisia remembered Alderaan's kindness and had moved to respond in kind now.

The Lord Xiaolang's personal ship had quietly reverted from hyperspace, an inconspicuous Loronar E-9 explorer that was seemingly meek for someone who oversaw a planetary congress on one hand and represented the worlds of the Galactic Alliance as one of the Triumverate's ambassadors on the other. But Shoma preferred that it be that way. What funds might have gone to his own personal conveyance were instead re-routed to civil programs back on Atrisia, Frisal, or Kilea.

A few minutes later, the slower ships had reverted back to normal space, emerging in the wake of the small explorer. Liorre-class super-freighters, bearing what modular shelter and supplies that the Atrisian prince had managed to pull together from Atrisia and its surrounding systems at such short notice.

More would be coming. The Galactic Alliance was working on a plan for Alderaan aid, but while that plan continued to come together, this was at least something that might make a dent in the pain and suffering of some of Alderaan's people.

Shoma had sent a message to his cousin, [member="Junko Ike"], in the hopes that her planet of Shri-Tal might be able to provide still more in aid to Alderaan.

"Please send a message to [member="Faith Organa"] to inform her of our arrival," the prince intoned quietly, speaking over at the protocol droid that was seated at the communications terminal. Then the teen pivoted to look over at the pair of pilot's at the front of the cockpit. "Then see if you can land us somewhere near New Aldera to off-load these supplies."

 

[Errreembuhr]

The Sith attack was like lightning, quick and deadly, leaving Alderaan's once beautiful landscape smoking and shattered. Their reasoning had been that the Coalition supported instability and violence in the galaxy, and that they were corrupt, but from his admittedly brief time in the Coalition he had seen the opposite. They had brought aid to those in the galaxy who needed it, fought against those who would seek to dominate and enslave others, and been fair and just in their dealings.

Hypocrisy. It never changed.

Now it was up to the friends of Alderaan to help rebuild, and Errreembuhr's position as the representative of New Plympto put him in a way to do just that. Over a dozen EC20 Transports had been loaded with food, fuel, medical equipment, and droid manpower to help clear the rubble and rescue those who needed it.

From the bridge of his light cruiser the Wookiee watched the planet appear before them as they dropped out of hyperspace. They weren't the only ones who'd come to help, from the sight of various friendly ships in orbit.

"Put me through to [member="Faith Organa"] " the Wookiee stated as his subordinates gave the order to begin preparing their dropships for deployment. "We must hope she is still alive."

The Queen had been the one to see him put in his position. It was his duty now to come to the aid of her people.

Objective: Relief supplies

"Yousa must looky at thosen ordinances to see what restrictions wesa have before wesa can even act"

As with other reconstruction projects of that scale, he would need the cadastre registers so as to know what to prioritize. Even with a kilometer-long ship for each of the cities, the mix of supplies and construction workers made it so that priority had to be given to certain projects within the affected cities. He thus opened a channel prior to reversion over Alderaan, so as to contact the proper channels, but he was unfamiliar with how the Royal House of Alderaan even operated the cadastre in the first place. While he could be forgiven, considering the devastation he had to rebuild from, and the remainder of the rubble being sent to Skor, for not paying proper attention to the ordinances, as a real estate professional he had to take local ordinances into account. Especially with the Squib next to him manning the - Squibs were everywhere. The time was short for looking at the ordinances of New Aldera, New Crevasse and Juranno respectively, and when he was nearing arrival, he was to open a channel to [member="Faith Organa"] so that the work could get underway as soon as possible - her populace needs it. Once the channel was open:

"Yoursa Majesty, mesa Ugohr Poof from IGR. Wesa arrive with food supplies, construction supplies and equipment. However, wesa asken for where wesa can land oursa ships around New Aldera, New Crevasse and Juranno"

There was much reconstruction to be held at Alderaan. Efforts were already underway not only by the Royal House of Alderaan but by the Galactic Alliance. Corporate entities were also arriving to provide humanitarian aide and relief efforts. Arceenau Trade, well known for it's humanitarian efforts and reconstruction abilities, sent Saffron to meet up with a representative from Alderaan to perhaps provide a scope on just what could be done.

The chrome shuttle landed at the spaceport within city limits. Saffron along with her protocol droid, B3-Q9, quietly stood to amble out into the city. It was cool, with the acrid scent of smoke in the air. Saffron took a deep breath, there was much to be done.

Alderaan - SIN
Felix Thawne

Alderaan, finally a planet that he could appreciate.

It seemed that lately he had been going only to worlds that could really only be described as dustballs and garbage dumps. Tatooine, Terminus, that disgusting place in the outer rim. All of them had been absolutely terrible. At least here on Alderaan they had culture, class, even if the Sith had tried to destroy it all.

That was of course why he was here.

Though SIN was most well known for it's Nightclubs and Entertainment District on Coruscant, the company was actually invested in several technologies including robotics and more importantly; Agriculture. The corporation had it's hand in the research of the growing and sowing of farms and plantations. The reasons were...well, Felix wouldn't be delving into it with anyone, but the aid that he would offer here was more than fair and legitimate.

Alderaan was a world that deserved to be green.

SIN could make it so.

It was that simple, and the return would be more than beneficial for the company.

 

[Claire Organa]

Location: New Crevasse City

She was trapped she had gone out onto the ledge to look down at where the geothermal units were, and to make sure the school had evacuated to the safety of the shelters. It was then there was a shudder along the canyon walls. The ledge gave way and Claire fell fortunate to have landed on the next ledge below she had curled into a ball the table deflected the falling rocks. However in protecting her it had also trapped her.

She groaned as she tried to wake up this was not how she envisioned the days going. She had planned a visit to friends, a vacation to do something else, and finally a collaboration on new designs.

She tried to turn her foot was caught odd she couldn't feel it.

"help" she whispered. Shaking her head she knew no one would hear her like that..."HELP!" She called again....

Was anyone out there?

Did anyone know to look for her?

 

[Faith Organa]

Messages were coming in left and right. Faith tried to answer each one quickly -

[member="Chekīta Awaud"] - Faith nodded to Chekita grateful for her presence. She did not think that anyone would do her harm now but there were Sith still on the planet making it a possibility.

[member="Shoma Ike"] - Arriving thank goodness, "Your arrival is appreciated. There is much to do. I'm at the palace..." With it holes and broken windows it was still the palace.

[member="Errreembuhr"] The wookie she had met..."OH I'm so glad to hear you are here...we are in trouble. There are many missing" She knew she should wait tell as many people the problems at the same time..though in some ways it was evident what needed to be done.

[member="Ugohr Poof"] - He offered supplies and medical help. "Can you set up a station where the people can find you away from the rubble of New Aldera, as well as send out teams to look for injured?" It was difficult to understand his accent but she concentrated hard on his words and hoped she understood.

This is what she did answer questions, and see to the people. She hoped what else could she do.

Dusting off his coat Felix stepped out into the ruined field, his lips thinning slightly. He would have preferred to land in the city somewhere, but things had been arranged so he appeared more...helpful than other corporate entities. Sure it was important to rebuilt the infrastructure of the planet, but Alderaan was more than just it's cities.

A fact that he was sure the nobility would recognize.

"Send a missive to the Queen." Felix told his assistant, eyes slowly floating over the ruined countryside. The Sith had marched their armies across most of the plains, there were dozens of destroyed vehicles and tanks. Farms had been culled, plantations had been burned, and it appeared that most of the entire countryside had been brought to utter ruin. "An offer of immediate clean up work here in the countryside."

He considered for a moment, looking at the ruins around them, then continued. "As well as reseeding."

Felix had brought men and equipment to do the job, he just needed the official permission.

 

[Moira Skaldi]

Archangel Research and Design
Alderaan


It appeared that Alderaan had been put through the ringer. Sith had come, murdered and pillaged, then left. This was not surprising, since, for all their bluster about eclipsing the light, Sith tended to choose victims who were a good deal weaker than them. Regardless, there was a lot of work to be done to get things back on track.


The Galactic Alliance, the Royal House of Alderaan and various corporate entities were trying to make Alderaan great again. Or, more down to earth, rebuild infrastructure, clear away the wreckage, provide shelters and medical aid for displaced civilians and so on and so forth. So without further ado Archangel decided to pitch in and lend a hand. Obviously with the most alruistic of motives. Verily.


Countless freighters loaded with food, medical supplies, construction materiel, prefabricated shelters and droids to help clear away the rubble and rescue those trapped beneath it descended upon Alderaan. In addition to standard labour, security and surgical droids, the transports also contained specialised medical HRDs. Droids had many advantages over organics. They could toil day and night without tiring. They also did not demand the right to unionise. Or get paid. A transmission would be sent to Queen [member="Faith Organa"] - or rather whoever happened to be dealing with the minutiae for her, since the Queen was probably rather occupied - , enquiring where Archangel could utilise its resources best.

"Wesa can do dat"

[member="Faith Organa"]'s requests would likely be near-identical for the other two cities afflicted, so sending out search-and-rescue teams was rather straightforward, while a kilometer-long ship outside the city limits would be next to impossible to miss outside the rubble of any of those three cities. That is not counting on the SAR teams already in place as part of medvac in the earlier stages of the operation, when the Alliance was actually taking care of the Sith rearguard. But Therapy Command was still in system for this reason: hope that there would be survivors to save. As his own Exodus began to look for suitable locations to land it near New Aldera, the Gungan gave instructions to the crew inside, Squibs and otherwise, while acknowledging that the Squibs will clean up the rubble long before they would be able to get the survivors out of it. So hersa majesty not knowen of Therapy Command's operations in disen system, he thought, while medvac craft were buzzing each of the cities in question, where help was most needed given the current intel.

"Unpack what yousa can, and den yousa take up whatever rubble yousa can pick up; also fan out and look for survivors while yousa pick up rubble"

“There seems to be an increase of toxins in the air, Mistress.” the protocol droid would disclose to Saffron, drawing a slight frown from the young woman. The damage made to the city in the aftermath of the attack certainly had an effect on the landscape as well as the atmosphere.

“I see. Please give the order to deploy the environmental scouting drones. I want to get an understanding on just what we are dealing with. Both for the atmosphere and ground. If there are any toxic contaminants we need to get a full listing before presenting to the Queen what we may be able to offer.”

“Of course, Mistress.” came the reply an a slight bow. A quick swipe and tap of his datapad, and the droid sent the orders. The drones were equipped with several scanners and tools that could help collect information on the local environment such as the air, ocean, and earth. It was process that had been originally conducted on Corellia for the preparation of its terraforming. Mara Tibx along with PharmaTech had developed a tried and true process since then that was successful among several other planets. Now, MaraTibx was working on being able to refine the methods that could potentially convert toxins into a useable nontoxic energy source. Green energy was an ongoing project throughout Arceneau Trade. Perhaps they could do so here with Aldaraan to help it.

 

[Faith Organa]

The outpouring continued as messages began to come back -

[member="Coratanni Cartel"] answered first she could not or would not say no the country side was where the people planted and food was supplied to Alderaan. "by all means please proceeded with our gratitude." Yes they wouldn't know how thankful she was.

[member="Moira Skaldi"] - there were already so many in New Aldera when the message came from Moira Skaldi Faith thought only for a moment, "Mam, if you could go to New Crevasse City I would be most greatful. Also..would you be kind enough to check the girls school, and the shelters. Perhaps a way to scan for signs of life..please." Did such technology exist in some of the holos she watched they did.

[member="Ugohr Poof"] "Thank you" was all she managed to say.

Now one concern remained Jurrano..what was happening there.

Faith fought the urge to get on a shuttle and go there. She would visit each city in time but there were countless hundreds right now in New Aldera seeking solace from the kindhearted who had come.

Where to go first...she started walking she couldn't stand still any longer. Her own anxiety was to the point of breaking her. For a moment she put her hand on her stomach...the child seemed fine...course...she had been in the process of tell [member="Draco Vereen"] when all of this started. So he still didn't know. So far no one else did either.

"Excellent." Felix said as he received a small return message from the Queen, a bright smile showing on his face.

In truth he hadn't expected a response so quickly, more so he hadn't expected this type of response. With word from her majesty SIN could begin clean up efforts immediately, and that meant they could get involved at a base level. While others clamored for the city and it's riches, he had seen something far more worthwhile. Alderaan was a planet of serene beauty, it had been before the Sith appeared anyway, and he would ensure that it would be once again.

He motioned to his men. "Get started."

It went fast from there. The synthetic's that he had brought along stared up almost immediately, machinery began to whir, and life would soon flow once more.

"The ruins first." He told his men, pointing to the destroyed husks of tanks and walkers. "That is where we start."

Alderaan would be beautiful once more.

Unless ordered to Chekita did not see much reason to talk with anyone, probably just due to not knowing any of the people who had showed up at the queens request aside from a few. Of course [member="Errreembuhr"] was easy to recognize, the Wookie having a rather good business going and more over one of the few Wookie's she knew, that also happened to be a cyborg, a pretty unique person over all. [member="Shoma Ike"]'s name rang a small bell, probably the Ike part, their family was very well known around the galaxy, the problem was which Ike was he? And this [member="Ugohr Poof"], a gungan that she guessed she had heard about, Galactic Alliance or something, behond that nothing else really came to mind, 'perhaps I should do more research'

As for [member="Moira Skaldi"]', well despite being a rather attractive looking made Chekita a little wary of her, something just did not feel right, that gut feeling just lingering over the woman. Still the Mando wold not act, not unless there was a clear indication of danger, for the time being just standing there, not moving, silent, watching, just a general day at the office.

All she wanted right now was a good drink of water. She looked up there was light up there but she didn't know where it came from. The sounds of the attack had drifted away she imagined that it had stopped.

I can't die now I have so much to do her thoughts drifted to [member="Andorreth Vikar"] she remembered the last time they were together. How soft the kisses were, how firm his muscles felt, and then the tenderness in which he spoke. He was a godsend to her. She smiled.

If anything she would live because she wanted to see him again, "Help" she called out again, "Can anyone hear me?" She hit the stone her hand making a dull thud of a noise, that wasn't going to get her anywhere...she looked up and said a prayer...let them hear me...

Work was progressing quickly, quicker than he had initially anticipated.

The machinery that they had brought was capable of clearing acres of metal and debris rather easily. Molecular recyclers they were called, taking in massive amounts of rock, earth, metal, and even organic material in order to turn it into raw metals. They worked well, helped in the rebuilding process of a dozen different worlds before Alderaan. He watched them quietly as they slowly scoured the fields of battle, taking apart fallen walkers and destroyed tanks like they were nothing.

A frown settled on his lips, eyes slowly wandering as he felt an odd...pull. Felix looked around for a moment, glancing towards the ruined parts of the city. They had chosen Crevasse city specifically, the territory around it having been hit rather hard. The city itself of course had been too, but they hadn't quite been contracted for that.

Still, it was worth exploring.

With a wave of his hand Felix motioned for some of his guards to follow him, and slowly the young Thawne set out towards the ruins. Their walk was a short one, and even here the fallen city was still decorated with a dozen rescue workers digging through fallen debris and rock. Felix watched them, slowly turning towards the HRD's that followed him. "Turn your scanners beneath the rubble."

He was here to make an impression.

If that meant saving the people of Alderaan as well as it's countryside...well, all the better.

 

[Ugohr Poof]

To the extent New Crevasse City was too large for any one company to clean up, Ugohr had to be grateful for the [member="Coratanni Cartel"] to get what they couldn't do: rubble was quickly filling up his ship and the supplies are now in a triage camp manned with volunteer medics of a variety of races. But the Squibs' intervention at the other end of the city was the main reason why the Cartel found the work in that city was progressing faster than it anticipated. And the construction supplies were stored in another area, while taking care of storing the dry duracrete in a prefabricated, temporary silo capable of keeping the dry duracrete, well, dry, until it was poured in any relevant location, of which there was no shortage. But before that ship could, in fact, return to Skor with millions of tons of rubble in tow, Ugohr was notified. That, even though Attahox was closer and served a similar function for the CSA, he had so many Squibs in his workforce that it could be seen as an insult to them to send the rubble there. It didn't take that long to accumulate nearly five million tons of rubble and it wouldn't be back from Skor in a week or so.

"Rubble full, sir" the Squib captain of the ship assigned to New Crevasse reported.

"Now, return dat maxibig load of rubble to Skor, on da double!"
