Suddenly Mandalorians! [Kilaado Raid - Mando v FO]

Location: en route to KEC building
Allies: Mandolorians
Enemies: First Order
Directly engaging: a lot of stormtroopers

Seeing that he could only cause pain for the troopers of the First Order and not contribute any meaningful protection to his brothers and sisters in arms Quoron mounted his war droid and took off. The KEC building was not far away but he could see the massive building and saw the flashes that could only come from blasters. The troopers were making any flight even this low a living nightmare with blaster bolts glancing the side of his droid on his way to his destination. He landed with a thud and began to set up the same defense as before by moving some debris together to form a makeshift barricade from behind which he could harass the incoming troopers. "Anything that isn't me shoot at." With this simple order to his droid he drew his sword and charged into the nearest squad of troopers. The lasers flashing next to him as his droid provided covering fire he made it within sword's reach and swung it at the nearest troopers knee. He pushed the trooper into his comrade which provided him the the opening he needed for the next strike. He carried on with this while awaiting the order from the raid leader to provide support elsewhere.

She put the map in her H.U.D on the side so she can still fight properly while using the map she kept a ear in on the traffic all this trouble for us they really shouldn't have, She followed Beskadala as they went down the levels of the building killing security that got in there way she never saw how Beskadala acted in combat and well...as far as she has seen it was quite the scenery to witness. She noted The maiden stopping around the corner rifle aimed and darted past her to see what caught her attention and what she saw next brought joy to her heart, One unmistakable Knight of Ren and a young girl who was with him, Her wish of facing a Ren came true finally but no doubt due to how Beskadala reacted to seeing them she would probably be dealing with the girl rather then the actual knight. But it didn't matter just aslong as she fought and caught a few trinkets to bring back home to her collection, She readied her shotgun and made sure the nutrient frame was active as she waited for either the ren or Beskadala to make there move first before making hers.

What contrived excuse would Astoria offer her parents, when Agent Denwich discharged her on the spot? Even worse – how would she explain it to her flock of fair weather friends back at school? The uninspired little half-wits already didn’t understand why their ringleader would give up her throne within their privileged halls for something as lowly and common as an internship. Wasn’t that sort of thing for girls who actually had to work?

‘You’ve gone mad,’ They’d simpered one afternoon, when they were supposed to be in a history lesson. ‘You’ve got all the goods – why don’t you just marry rich like your mother?’

‘Because that worked out so well for her, didn’t it?’ Astoria had countered swiftly, without batting an eyelash. ‘Diamonds are nice, but have you ever tried dignity?’

They hadn’t had anything to say to that.

Unfortunately, Astoria found herself similarly speechless now – struck dumb by the look of anger rising through Agent Denwich’s dusky features like heat on a thermometer. None of her usual methods of diffusion were working: the tried and true breathy-laugh-and-breezy-smile charade, the old eyelash-flutter-and-babydoll-pout ploy, nor even her contingency scheme of look-at-these-big-shiny-blue-eyes. All failed. In fact, they only seemed to make the man angrier. He didn’t merely look like he might dismiss her – he looked like he might throttle her. Astoria swallowed hard.

All it took was a cursory glance for the girl to know that each of his hands were large enough to wrap almost fully around the column of her swan throat – and strong enough to squeeze the life from her lungs in less than ten seconds. Yet all she could think was:

What if he kills me and they find my body in this hideous gray uniform?

How embarrassing.

Just as her worst fears danced precariously close to fruition (she could veritably hear the time bomb ticking on the man’s fuse), an automated holoprojection sprang to life in the corner of the armory and diverted Agent Denwich’s attention. Sweet relief feathered past Astoria’s lips. She was safe, if only from his wrath. From other dangers? Hardly.

What Astoria saw projected on the holo-screen made her supervising agent’s fury pale in comparison. The unmistakable silhouettes of TIE fighters screamed a keening death wail as they split into hopeless oblivion across the pixelated blue monitor, ravaged by the claws of some sort of homicidal automaton, the likes of which Astoria had never seen. One after another the mechanized beasts came, like harbingers of destruction. One after another, the TIEs fell. As Astoria watched with widened eyes, it took her a moment to realize that she was standing stock still, all the baby-fine hairs on the back of her neck raised like goosebumps.

“What are those things?” The girl breathed, entranced in part by awe, in part by fear. If she got an answer, however, she wouldn’t have time to contemplate it –

BOOM!

A sudden explosion cracked over their heads and promptly shuddered through the ceiling of the safe house. Astoria’s breath caught sharply as she threw out a hand to steady herself from the impact, crystalline gaze snapping upward before returning downward to search desperately for Malcolm. He was already moving, of course – and barking instructions.

Now's the time to nod, Astoria.

The man wasn’t buying it. He read her like a book.

“Thanks,” She murmured ruefully, after his second round of instructions, hoping that the color that warmed her cheeks went unnoticed. Humiliation seemed to be the order of the day, and Astoria had had her fill. She was grateful when Malcolm left her to finagle herself into the proffered suit on her own. Getting dressed couldn’t be that difficult, right? That was at least one skill she’d mastered from having an extensive wardrobe. The only hitch, however, was that her wardrobe didn’t include protective battle armor.

A struggle ensued.

Several hushed swear words later, Astoria was fully suited save for her helmet – what was a HUD, and how did it work? Astoria turned in a fan of blonde and started to ask the question, but she chose to do so at the same moment Malcolm tossed a blaster over to her. Eyebrows arched in surprise as she caught it quite by accident. You set? He asked. The extent of the girl’s shooting experience was Marksmanship 101 from freshman year. “Set as I’ll ever be,” She replied dryly, looking over the weapon with skepticism before stuffing it gingerly in its holster.

Any other questions she had were interrupted by Malcolm speaking brusquely into the comm. Wait, did Astoria hear correctly? – or was he was asking for permission to enter the fray above them? As if to punctuate the outrageousness of the request, CRACK! Another explosion – larger and louder than the first – detonated violently against the safe house, and Astoria was nearly thrown to the ground. Every beam and rafter rattled. The power flickered off, then weakly back on. When the dust settled, Astoria was trembling.

The moment she found her legs, however, she wasted no time. Wobbling a bit like a baby deer, Astoria drew herself up beneath Malcolm’s shadow with the air of a small queen and lifted her chin defiantly.

“What’s going on?” She demanded, placing one hand on the flare of her hip and waving her helmet around wildly with the other. “I thought we were here to bag info from that Ferrol guy!” Slender brow arched. “Are we actually going to . . . shoot things?”

Kyrel could hear Varas's voice through the comlink and a smile twitched at his lips. Not of warmth no but of sadistic pleasure as since their encounter in Vader's Castle on Mustafar. He had made Varas learn who was still the Master, despite her recent ascension to Knighthood and following a similar path he had after his first battle. She had lost her way and Kyrel was more than ready to instill back in her that he was the one who had created her. And in his rage had learned a new powerful and raw skill in the process both making him stronger and to put Varas in her place... Since then she had been more obedient in his presence, but ever since the Istkusk Kyrel was always wary. Wary of perhaps even further attempts on his life, after all, it would only be natural for the child to take the place of the parent... But not yet Kyrel would not allow that yet.​
He still walked the corridors of the building, hearing the screams and cries of workers and security personnel as well as Stormtroopers, the conflict was what had fueled his power in the dark side thus far, and as always Kyrel relished it. Even more, so that he would face a new foe, a foe he had only read about in ancient texts and had heard stories of. Mandalorians resilient and born for combat but unlike Kyrel they had a disadvantage. The Force... The Force and his skills were all that he had needed as he had faced the Galactic Alliance on Kaeshana, facing against his first Jedi, an entire team of Jedi on Mustafar, The leader of the Order of the Firemane Siobhan Kerrigan and her ilk on Hoth, one of the most known Jedi Masters of the Silver Jedi Order on Ossus, and now recently with Jedi Master and Vice Admirial Zark which he had slain during the First Order's assault in the middle of dark space in a bid to blockade the Hydian Way.​
Such battles had often led him to the edge of death, and even as a mechanical monstrosity or even now as a Flesh and Blood man. They had made him stronger, both physically, mentally, and in the Force and he had a feeling Varas will reach such heights if not more. And now he was ready to face new foes but if they believed they would get out of the building so easily then they have no idea who they will be dealing with. The screams still persisted as he roamed the corridors, bodies around every corner and he could clearly see evidence of Blaster fire and even small explosives on the wall. The walls were scorched, lights were flickering in some hallways and even emergency lights in most despite being some areas of the building being intact, giving the entire complex a feeling of dread and uneasiness. The Enforcer had never felt more even more alive than being on the precipice of battle. For most of his life he had thrived on it, and had lived for it as the Supreme Leader's Enforcer, and now here he was on the edge of facing perhaps one of the most prestigious foes the Galaxy had to offer. He was so close he could feel it with Varas not that far behind, that at this point his lightsaber was clutched in his left hand.​
He could hear many reports of the battle through his link to Biocomm. Hearing many different types of transmissions going on at the same time to keep him informed. He stopped finally sensing his foes in the Force and couldn't help but grin under his mask. They were coming to him... They were coming to face death and he would not allow them to get out alive nor cause any further havoc. With his lightsaber out he silently waited. His daughter finally coming to him from behind he spoke to her before the armored warriors came forth. "Prepare yourself Apprentice.. These are not like Jedi and no matter we must not allow them to leave this place." He had said through the sinister baritone of his mask, barely looking at her but only what lied ahead and in store for both dark warriors.​
Then they appeared slowly as if they were all but phantoms out of the shadows. Eager to meet them first before the killing began, he watched closely narrowing the red irises of his mask. He saw what looked first to be a feminine shaped figure approach first with a Rifle aimed at him, to which he could only scoff at but then more appeared. Next were two other Mandalorians approaching with rifles. "Mandalorians and their guns" Was all he could think of at first and then something hit him a tremor in the Force as another figure approached him. This one, in particular, was strong in the dark side but untrained and unfocused... The man wielded two melee weapons and despite his strength in the dark side. Kyrel still stood his ground looking at all four figures now cautiously.​
The armored Enforcer did not feel fear at this moment no... He could only feel what he would describe as tremendous excitement swell within him. A fight that would perhaps be one of his best yet, and perhaps another foe to crush within the Enforcer's heel and still, he remained unnerved by the numbers alone. He took a few steps slowly covering five feet now to place himself in between them and the way that could perhaps let the barbarians and brutes out. Still, his eyes did not leave them as he had finally ignited his lightsaber, the crimson blade coming to life with a snap-hiss, and was eager for blood as Kyrel could already feel the power of the Dark Side being fed into him and his own dark power being fed into the weapon itself increasing his strength both physically, mentally and in the dark side making him a force to be reckoned with.​
Now with his saber at his side ignited and ready for battle, he felt energized, rage building and tempered to be unleashed during the fight and with an edge that would make the Mandalorians know he wasn't underestimated with, and with his daughter at his side, this would be quite a match as he started to speak, his Core World accent buried underneath a deep and sinister tone that sounded more machine and it was as if not even a man dwelled within the armor at all but a soulless machine. "I commend you for making it thus far, but I am afraid this is where the story ends and I am afraid your lives will have to be the toll to get past me and continue such Barbaric ways..." He said the saber still at his side but raised slightly ready for what could occur, as his eyes shifted from one being to the next in the pack of animals that stood before him. He finally raised his saber all the way. The weapon eager for blood as he uttered his final words as he had nothing more to say before the bloodbath had begun for both Mandalorian and Knights of Ren "Shall we begin?"

Silas split off from his brother, rather than going in, he took the outside. For an moment he circled, the besu'lisk's cannons tearing into any and everything it could before he set eyes on a single man atop one of the logistics platforms. He didn't need the force to tell the man was dar'jetti, some of them practically radiated it, be it through exotic armor, or simply they way they carried themselves. Unless they were actively making an effort to hide it, it was never hard to tell.

Bringing the war droid around he brought the beast to full speed, racing towards the logistics platform. He hadn't brought a lizard to dull the man's connection, he'd know Silas was coming, but the Mandalorian felt no fear. The force did not make someone invincible, it had not saved Monroe, it had not saved Ordo, it had not saved the Sith in the street's of the domed city, and it would not save this man if Silas fought smart.

Wordlessly he jumped from the back of the old bird and onto the rooftop, igniting his jetpack momentarily to bring him to a stable landing. Like his kin, he didn't waste his time on words, the look of scorn hidden behind his visor was the only hint of emotion above the skin. The shotgun had been in his hands the moment he landed, and Therran was firmly in his sights. Silas pulled the trigger, and let the monstrous weapon kick against his shoulder as it thundered, a storm of 8-gauge buckshot flying forward at his target.

Luther groaned at the pain caused by the screaming alarms. The piercing whine drove itself deep into his head, infusing him with a pounding sense of urgency. He resisted an urge to panic, instead moving with practiced speed that comes from years of waking up to sirens. He drummed up his inner Sergeant and started shouting at the bunks occupants to get moving. He strapped on his tank armour, sealed his helmet and ran out the door.

His crew were all formed up, with the exception of Lee who was being hauled by his collar by Luther. The private fell into rank while Luther chatted briefly with the CO. The chat was short and to the point, the man striding quickly off once they had finished. Luther turned back to his squad, clearing his throat to address them.

"Base has gone on alert. There has been some sort of attack on the city." These short, sharp speeches were saved only for briefings. Luther liked to present the information clearly and concisely, to avoid confusion. "Hostiles have broken through planetary defences and are engaging First Order forces." He was interrupted by one of his gunners, Skye. "Sounds like a job for a Potentia!" she said with a wide-toothed grin. "If we are going big, why not take a Sabercat!" Exclaimed Naomi, Skye's partner in crime.

Luther raised a hand to silence them. "We're transporting medical divisions to extract and help civilians. Therefore we are not taking anything that will flatten buildings. We will be taking two Deliverers." Naomi and Skye looked disappointed, but obeyed him without question. "We aren't going to fight?!" Luther turned to find a hot-headed Lee up in his face. "This isn't up for discussion" Luther warned him. "We're not a taxi company Luther, for kark's sake" Lee said, red in the face. "Forget the medics, let's get something big and wipe them off the planet !'

Luther breathed deeply and paused, as if considering. Lee smirked, until Luther shouted in his face. "THIS ISN'T A GAME!" he roared. "We're not Ren, we're not the invincible heroes you see in holovids! We're soldiers with a job to do. Now get back in line!" Lee snapped back into formation immediately, now red with embarrassment.

'It is going to be a long day' Luther thought.

- - -​

Both carriers were enroute to the devastated areas. Luther commanded one carrier, with Naomi driving. The other was lead by Thomas, his 2IC and Brianna driving. Both vehicles had 6 medical troopers in the back. The squad in his vehicle was quiet, most checking over equipment and keeping their nerves in check. Trusting Naomi to keep them rolling, he moved to the comms unit. By patching his suit microphone into the carrier's comms, he was able to communicate hands-free. He radioed base, confirming his orders before checking in with the other carrier. He left it for a while, until they approached the target area and he figured he was in range for his next call.

"[member="FN-2826"], this is Sergeant Luther Ando of the 11th Armoured Division. We're approaching the battlezone from this position" he read off his coordinates from a digital map. "We have two squads of medics and will be helping evacuate civilians. I'll be in radio contact, call in if you need assistance or spot some civvies".

The vehicle pulled up short and Luther poked his head through the ventral hatch. He saw the flaming wreckage of a TIE fighter and the rubble it threw around from when it hit a home. In the distance he could just make out screaming. "First stop!" he shouted down the back. "Ready up, we are going out!"

So far, so good. No one had scanned them yet. The Orar'uliik was built during the prime and golden days of the Mandalorian Clans all before the cataclysm of Mandalore, and everything built back in those glory days were well thought, planned, engineered, and constructed. Mandalorians never did things good or great. No, they achieved to be above excellent. It was why they were legends, not because of their thirst for war and violence but because they went the extra mile of doing things.

Another Orar joined him that was commanded by Koda Fett. A notorious bounty hunter, like his predecessors, that was the head of Clan Fett who was his second in command of what they were about to do.

"Koda," the Akaan reached out for the Fett, in Mando'a, with the ion scramblers online to veil the origin point of the source via encrypted comm channels, "ready your warriors. We will be boarding that interdictor vessel that is ahead of us. We're gonna neutralize it," and ended the comm.

Will fast speed in the engines, they were coming up on the Holdfast to land on an airlock and slice through it to board it.

"Land us somewhere ideal, Dalso. Somewhere close to the bridge," the warrior ordered to the pilot which he acknowledged and obeyed. Moments later the Orar would land on the interdictor and begin slicing through it with its hull cutting ring.

"When we board I want you to disengage from the ship, Dalso. You're our only ticket out of here; stay low and discrete. Wait for my signal," the Munin said to the Mandalorian pilot as the Orar continued to cut through the plating of the airlock which wouldn't take too much time to slice through.

Straining to hear above the rapidly growing cacophony above, Malcolm couldn't tell if the station chief had responded or not. He heard static as a near earth shattering kaboom rocked the building, the flicker of the lights sending Malcolm's HUD into NV mode for a fraction of a second before reverting. Things were getting out of hand above, a small picture in picture live feed appearing near the corner. Surveillance cams mounted on the exterior of the building fed data to the whole team - what they saw was chaos. Whatever those things were, they were laying waste to near anything and everything in sight. The safehouse didn't appear to be their target, instead the giant droid-like machinations rained down holy hellfire upon a number of targets, most notably the rapidly growing mass of stormtroopers responding to the initial assault. *What the kriff is going on here...* Thought Malcolm as he viewed several of the cameras available to him.

Whatever this was, it was big. War was no stranger to the First Order but this? This was terrorism. It wasn't a coordinated assault on a military garrison, nor a directed attack at the shipyards in orbit. The real question was why. As he flicked from screen to screen, Malcolm attempted to identify the primary target of this unknown enemy, in doing so he spotted a gaping hole in the side of a large office tower. *KEC.* That confused him. Grinding his teeth a moment, he made a decision. Inaction wasn't in his nature. :: You might want to put that...:: he said, jabbing the barrel of his blaster weapon towards her helmet. ::...on your grape.:: Had she done so she might have seen the feed, instead Malcolm's jaw tensed before the vocabulator activated. :: Some sort of attack, looks like droids - centered around the KEC HQ. That's just down the street. Ferro is a small fish, besides, he's not going anywhere. We don't have time for a discussion. :: Taking a breath, he spoke again. :: We're going. Keep your finger off that trigger unless you're gonna fire... I don't want you shooting me in the back. :: he said wryly. :: Stay right behind me. :: Reaching out Malcolm snagged another weapon from the rack, slinging it over his shoulder as he passed through the doorway and headed back up the stairs.

His footsteps carried him to ground level swiftly, eyes darting to the front door of the safe house. Outside had turned into a warzone, and if his HUD was anything to go by they were almost at the epicenter of the rapidly evolving situation. Embroiled in a population center, any support from the air would be extremely limited. As information scrolled across his screen he noted the mention of a freighter, but it was soon lost in the data stream, more pertinent data revolving around the mechs he'd seen coming to light. *Bes'uliik. Mandalorians? Here?* Hardly expected. Intel reports had indicated their presence during the battle near the Hydian Way but little was known about their affiliations - merely mercenaries hired by the Alliance or if they were there in an official capacity. Given their presence at Dagobah, who could say with certainty. Motivations and intent were the thinking man's game however, not Malcolm's. And so he pushed forward, entering in the code required to exit the building. With a whooshing hiss, the blast door opened, light pouring in from the outside.

The general chaos hit him like a wave, the acrid smoke rising from a few gaping holes in various buildings and the wreck of a TIE fighter propped up against a structure the first sights to gather his attention. Just down the block was KEC HQ, it was there that the action was taking place, if the colorful flashes of light and loud rapport of weapons fire were anything to go by. Moving towards the sound of weapons fire, Malcolm ran down the street, stopping only once behind an unoccupied speeder to check on the Intern. Glad to see she was still with him, he spoke into the comm. :: If you see a Mandalorian, don't hesitate. Fire. :: With a reassuring grip of the woman's shoulder, he turned once again towards the building, weapon raised as he headed for the entrance.

Thoughtful, but fully aware of the situation around him, the Sith marched decisively onward to the closest possible entrance. Smoke from the lower levels of the building indicated the explosive entrance of the terrorists. A twitch in the Force and his sulfuric eyes locked at the appearance of one of these war droids heading toward him threateningly. A frown found itself on his face.

Bold. Therran had heard and occasionally seen the stories of Mandalorians. Their boldness sometimes bordered the line of insanity.

He did not even require the Force to anticipate the man's obvious intention of harming the Sith.

A gun in the armor clad warrior found its sights at Graush and like a typhoon from within the Force screamed for action. Subjugated under his will, his right hand jerked forward abruptly. Invisible energy froze the buckshot right in their tracks. Stasis.

A quick, force enhanced step to the side, the buckshots came released harmlessly passing by a few feet beside him. The moment he released his grasp of the shots the Sith retaliated. The pressure of a mountain suddenly wrapped itself around the weapon of the Mandalorian and squeezing down inwards. The goal? Crush the internal mechanism and reduce it to a piece of worthless metal.

"What do you aim here, Mandalorian? What is your target this far from home?" Graush's cold voice came loud enough for the helmeted warrior to hear. Questions he sought their answers and if he did not find them here - his pursuit would not end here.

Objective: Protect [Both career and Lanteeb]
Carlyle was kept aloof by the battle raging below, and hooked himself into the communications network which had formed around the city. As he read and listened to reports, he became increasingly concerned. The Mandolorians were now converging on the Kilaado Engineering Corporation, and given how the situation had developed, and should they become entrenched, the Fleet Admiral feared they may take the companies headquarters hostage. Industrial espionage on that scale, would be incredibly hard to undo. And could even see the undoing of his now resurrected career. There was however one piece of information he hoped he was able to salvage from the scattered and surprised reaction of First Order troops. That one of their number were once an ally.

Preliat Mantis was a name Rausgeber had heard bandied around. Apparently one of the PDF forces recognised his armour from a time they'd once fought together. Mantis was by no means an exceptional soldier. He was one whom was there during a number of First Order campaigns over the Alliance, and had now turned on him. An example of what trusting a Mandolorian could do. As the Fleet Admiral decrypted data, his mind turned to one thing. His hatred of these backward people. Their culture. Their armour. And the ridiculous yells they screamed in a way which sounded like they were gargling urine. However, hatred would only get him so far.


"Comms, prepare me a signal. Priority four, code red." Rausgeber commanded, he began to plug himself into the Comms console, there was no need for his mean to hear this. Especially given the man who he was to speak to. Rausgeber projected himself in his robot form, as the signal encrypted itself, and waited for it to be approved. When it was, Carlyle found himself beamed directly to Supreme Commander Asharad Graush's communication device of choice.

"Supreme Commander," Rausgeber began. None of his usual bravado or smugness apparent, "Our forces on Lanteeb have encountered a Mandolorian attack, sir." The Fleet Admiral continued, "The attack is centred in and around our industrial assets on Kilaado City," He added, there was no use denying that. "My fleet has the enemy contained with interdictor cruisers, however our forces on the ground struggle now to capture them." Rausgeber again paused, he knew Graush wouldn't be too pleased with this offering, however, he hoped this information would alleviate that. "They have a traitor working for them my lord," Carlyle informed him, cognisant of the fact that any wrong move here would end in his execution. "Preliat Mantis, sir." Rausgeber continued, "He's apparently leading the assault."

Rausgeber however felt the connection go dead, as the cord was pulled from his socket. He reawoke from what must have seemed a near catatonic state. "Admiral! We have the stealth craft in our sights, orders?!" A frantic Comms Officer called. Rausgeber was elated with the news. They had revealed their hand.

"FIRE!
" Rausgeber roared. Within seconds of the command, the Malice and Reprisals gunners unleashed a flurry of intensive fire upon the Orar, which awkwardly clung to the second tier of the Holdfast's assimalator-class hull. The proudest technological terror of the Mandolorians fell under sustained attack from the withering bombardment of kyber imbued batteries, and heavy turbolaser fire. Even the Holdfasts own weaponry turned against the parasite, and punished them for their foolishness. The blind ambition of the Mandolorian commander to dock near the bridge had been a risky manoeuvre, but one which now resulted in their demise. Rausgeber watched as TIE bombers now performed bombing run after bombing run, dropping ion ordinance with accuracy, shutting down the vessel, and readying its crew for their graves now waiting in the void.

Location: The Smelters Yard.
Allies: Mandalorians
Enemies: First Order (no specific characters yet)
Objective: Lunch?

The droids guarding the smelters yards were scattered by the impact strike of Old One Eye landing from sub-orbital velocity, then several were blown apart in a combination of blaster fire and pulse wave fire. The ancient bes'uliik and it's rider turned as one towards the central defensive hub - it wasn't like the Smeltry had the highest priority defences and the war droid picked up a respectable pace as Shia picked off targets with her heavy blaster rifle.

Return fire hammered into the deflector shields and beskar armour, but the Mandalorians build tough and built to last, and both Shia's armour and the war droid dated from an age when the best way to kill Jedi was overwhelming firepower and overwhelming armour. Finesse... was added by the rider, and the thousand year old brain of the battle droid.

The operators in the command center returned fire with everything they had, scoring a number of wounds even through the layered shields and armour, but the war droid simply began to regenerate the damaged areas as it careened full tilt into the command center, shattering the defensive walls and letting Shia pick off the remaining defenders.

She ignored the three cowering civilian operators, sparing them only a glance to ensure they were not armed and none were bleeding to death, before guiding One Eye back out into the yard.

"Okay my friend, time to pick out the choice cuts." The droid began to nose slowly through the stacks of recycled metal ingots, hunting out rare and precious metals vital for starship construction, turbolaser development and... well... also, it's own regeneration. Shia couldn't really help that. She sat alert as it swallowed the bars whole, blaster trained for the inevitable incoming danger. This wasn't her primary mission - she had other plans, but it made a good landing site and gave One Eye a chance to stock up.

Chatter ran through her comms. Seems the First Order had a fleet over head.

"All this, for little old us?" She asked the air philosophically. I mean really, this was only a raid. She'd hate to see what happened if Mandalore organised an actual war fleet. Something to suggest to the Undying when they got back, maybe.

They always took out the '44 first, Silas them credit for playing it smart as the briefest smirk traced his lips. He liked being closer anyway, that was where he was at his most destructive.

As the weapon crumpled he made a quick mental note to further fortify the next design, Mandalorian steel perhaps? Regardless he tossed aside the now defunct shotgun and raised a hand into the air as he stared daggers into Therran, the man wanted to know his target, and Silas would tell him.

"You."

It wasn't a lie per say, in this moment he was the only target that mattered to Silas, or the besu'lisk which swung back around and opened fire the instant Silas crumpled his open palm into a fist. The droid spewed heavy blaster fire down on the Sith, but Mantis knew better than to trust that to be enough, the second the droid's salvo completed Silas shot forward with his jetpack, hurtling towards the Sith. Silas might never become the soldier his brother was, no one would make an army of 38 million from him due to the mark he'd made on the pages of history for his ferocity, but he did more than enough to live up to the family name.

As he shot towards Graush he let off a quick volley shots from his Westar-35, tearing the sidearm from its holster in a single fluid motion. In his off hand he kept the curved beskad that was Little Wolf. He didn't bother with a war cry, the Sith could feel his fury without him having to utter so much as a word, so he didn't waste the breath.

Graush scowled at the response. Useless. He did not wait to give the initiative to the Mandalorian as he dashed to the side a moment before the enemy's hand went up and fire from the parked war droid came upon him. Therran had forgotten about it, his narrowly focused pursuit for answers had left him vulnerable to a side attack.

Self-preserving instinct kicked in, a wrap of ethereal bubble around him protected him. Yet, the quickness of his technique meant the sacrifice of the ability's integrity. The bubble saved him from death but blistering heat burned holes in his black tunic, finding his arms and triggering a wave of sweat to break from his brow.

But he fed on the pain.

And the fury of the warrior.

The dark side of the force stoked by both and the moment of pain on his face disappeared as his focus went back to the next series of attack. Quite more prepared this time, Therran's lightsaber came in his hand blocking the shots from the Mandalorian's pistol. The use of the jetpack gave Graush's idea for a counter attack. His right hand jerked forward and a tempest of invisible energy erupted forward momentarily aimed to send back the Mandalorian into a wall with the heavy pressure of the Force trying squeeze him within his armor.

"I ask again." He uttered once more venomously, eyes squinting with hate. "What is your goal?"

Had he come ill prepared, that might've been the end of him right there.

Silas twisted as he was thrown back, angling so that when he crashed against the wall, the brunt of the impact was placed on the beskar prosthetic, the one bit of him that wouldn't be susceptible to kinetic damage. Even still as the rest of his body smacked against the wall, he felt pain. Silas' helemeted head bounced off the wall and left his ears ringing, and he felt as if someone was quite literally trying to cave in his body. But Silas had been prepared, he hadn't come alone.

The war droid came back for another pass, letting out a terrible shriek as it blasted away at the saber wielding Sith once again. It wasn't so much trying to kill Therran as it was break his concentration, trying to force him to move and break his grip on the Mandalorian. "Your demise dar'jetti." came his response to the dark sider's question came his voice dripping with hatred.

Silas pulled himself up and fired off another volley from the blaster pistol. Hopefully the old bird had done its job, and Silas would have his opening. Sinking his knees the Epicanthix propelled himself forwards, the jetpack thundering to life once again as he rocketed towards the Sith. Adrenaline hammered in his veins as the pack flung him, hatred and fury melded together and fueled the fires of rage in his heart.

More shots came from his blaster, but as he neared Therran, the Little Wolf came forward, swiping at Therran's saber arm. It was a risky mover under normal circumstances, if it was anyone else Therran's response could've been to simply cut off his arm as he slashed at him, but Silas struck with his prosthetic, and a saber did little to Mandalorian Iron.

The Bounty Hunter waded through the holographic display beneath his feet, it's highest point being waist high. It did it's best to display the fleet composition of the First Order, but regardless of how many ships present it was the Interdictor that had his attention, and the ships providing escort. He was to do as Munin had done, this was quite literally his first rodeo from the viewport of a Stealth Vessel. The helmeted head of the Communications Officer turned to him before speaking, "Incoming transmission from the Akaan, Sir." Before playing it aloud, and so the plan was clear.

His vessel followed behind Munin's Orar'uliik, yet upon seeing the intensive fire it was met with upon attempting to board, he had something else in mind. "Take us underneath." Fett commanded to the Pilot who began diverting their course, steering them clear from the turbo laser fire. If anything was to be done it wasn't going to be through following Munin's footsteps. It was a surefire way to be detonated in the void even if he managed to cut through just in time.

The Orar'uliik moved in closely underneath the Interdictor as it made it's way in the direction of the hangar. With such close proximity it hoped to move underneath it's scanners despite the Stealth Technologies still being active. Upon finding itself in the hangar, it revealed itself for a short time as the hangar doors opened and a swarm of Mandalorian Warriors leaped outwards to face the dangers below in the form of the First Order. Prior to that they were given one command, and that was to destroy the ship from the inside out - whether that be through the reactor or other means - but that was where Koda Fett was headed with a force of his own.

​Though they had to survive the onslaught that was bound to ensue inside the hangar. Meanwhile the Orar'uliik attempted to recloak and vanish into the void, only to return when called upon.

FN-2826's helmet tipped upwards as his eyes caught upon the flying wardroid above, one of which was dangerously close. The thought of aiming his rifle and pulling the trigger at the wardroid came to him, but he hesitated as he saw the change in direction of the wardroid. Shooting it now, right out in the open, was pure suicide. That wardroid would mow them all down in an instant with no cover. Tempest's helmet shifted right and then left, the eyes behind his visor falling upon the nearby concrete-metal street barricades. "Get to cover," the voice of Tempest ranged out as he made a lunge to his right, his body folding into a combat roll as he did so. Quickly recovering from his roll, his steel eyes fell upon the sight from which the loud drums of gunfire had emmited from the wardroid. Three dead troopers, with one injured, laid in their wake. He wanted to reach out for the injured trooper, though he knew doing so would only get him shot.

Tempest rested the barrel of his rifle against the top of the concrete barrier before firing a shot...a shot into nothingness. The wardroid was back off the ground with a loud hum as it's engines kicked to life once more, carrying both the droid and whatever filth of mandalorian rode on it's back far off to another section of the battlefield that now made up Kilaado City.

Tempest ran over to the injured trooper, taking off their helmet and pressing two fingers against her neck. Although he wasn't any medic, he still knew how to check a pulse. He wasn't one for blood, despite him being a soldier. His hands were made for killing people, not performing surgery. Something that Tempest was glad for, he'd be too nervous and frantic if he were a surgeon. The soldier who he was trying to help up as blood spilled down their white chestplate, it was a woman. One that Tempest had met before at the academy, Horizon. He hadn't known her that well, well that was a lie. They had pursued a romantic relationship together before the two of them had gotten separated. And...here they were again. With Horizon in the arm's of Tempest as her blood stained his white armor...as it fell into droplets onto the asphalt road below.

The crackling in the audio-receptor of the ear of Tempest brought him back to reality. It was [member="Luther Ando."] He hadn't personally known Luther, though he had heard that the man was a good medic despite being in charge of an armor division. At least...he thinks. Tempest wasn't sure, but the words of Luther having some medics with him...it sparked a bit of hope in Tempest.

Tempest ordered two troopers of the remaining fifteen uninjured troopers to help Horizon up. "Hey...Horz, it's me." Tempest spoke calmly despite his shaky demeanor to Horizon. Eight's noticed this through his pitch black visor, saying nothing, biting his lip. "Temp?" "Y-yeah it's me. Long time, no see, am I right? Okay...uh back to the point, can you walk?" "Yes." "Ok...we got a ways to go but you're sitting this one out..."

Tempest silenced any remark she had with a soft peck of the lips through his helmet. He would meet up with her later, though no wasn't the time for pleasantries. They had to focus on the objective at hand, and that included Tempest as well. "Sir, what about the dead?" No sound emitted from the helm of Tempest as the thought circled through his mind. He wanted to bring the dead, to honor them. Though, now wasn't the time. They had to serve the injured now, those that could still be saved. "I'm sorry, but we cannot. But I promise you, we will recover the bodies of the dead...give them an honorable ceremony, and we will make sure that their deaths were not in vain. I promise you this."

The troopers made their way down street after street, occasionally picking up an injured civilian. Though, not always. They weren't always fast enough. They would, more often than not, come upon a scene of death and just pure destruction. This was why Tempest fought, not just for the First Order. But for those who couldn't defend themselves, the citizens...the innocent, everyday people. That was why he fought. Tempest knew his reason for fighting sounded like it came out of some cliché war movie made by some rich First Order director, though he didn't really care. Though, their was an itch at the back of the mind of Tempest. It was one of anger, for what could've been the death of his love.

The sight of charred earth and concrete and fire and wreckage...it all came into the steel eyes of Tempest as he stepped over a mound of rubble. The scene was a blaze of destruction and death of both mandalorian soldiers and stormtroopers. He needed to stop this, wanted to. Tempest activated his comlink with a quick motion of his hand. "Luther, uh I got some injured. And...and a trooper, just make sure you take care of them, okay?" The voice of Tempest shook as he spoke, he tried his best to stop it though it was hard. Especially with Horz injured, it just was...it wasn't easy for him to deal with.

Preliat wasted no time- the man was old enough, and experienced enough in warfare that he knew the value of taking the initiative. And Kyrel had foolishly given it to him. Preliat had one distinct, obvious advantage in the fight.

Kyrel was a skinny, mean bastard.

Preliat was a big, mean bastard.

Preliat had nearly fifty kilograms on Kyrel, and six inches of height. Plus the weight of his armor, and the ferocity at which he was going to fight. He marched, then ran towards Kyrel. He moved fast, thanks to the prosthetic leg. Preliat grit his teeth and launched himself, aided by his jetpack, towards Kyrel. His prosthetic leg lashed out- and right as he was about to make contact with Kyrel, he lashed his leg out.

The servos and gears in his leg, cybernetics powering up. He didn't say anything. He didn't have to. Preliat goddamn Mantis was coming straight for Kyrel Ren. He only made a bit of a laughing sound as he got close to Kyrel. He imagined Kyrel as a troll under a bridge haggling passerbys for their coins.

Or Vader artifacts, as to what he knew about the Ren.

Prepare yourself Apprentice.. These are not like Jedi and no matter we must not allow them to leave this place."

Hearing his Core-words accented voice in her comms unit, Varas nodded a silent assent, knowing by sense that her father was close
by. A more ear-splitting series of alarms began to blare inside the KEC building. The Knight could hear faint screams and cries of frightened employees and civilian contractors throughout the structure.

Two soldiers wearing the unique Beskar'gam of Mandalorians came barrelling through, though the one with the sniper rifle went undetected at first, but finally she saw him back there behind a flash of metal - either the scope of the rifle or the droid.

Blood dripped down from the one of them, and although Varas had seen buckets of it in her short life, it still turned her stomach to view such viscera on display, despite her darkside leaning. She thought about just how much she and Kyrel had been through over the past two months. At times they nearly turned on each other as a means to the end.

Yet the end always remained - loyalty to Sieger Ren and the First Order.

"Finally. I have found my wolf."

As soon as Varas heard the voice, she called into action what they’d practiced. Father and daughter lived together, trained together - she had no doubt she would die before him, with him or at his hands.

A sharp burst of telekinesis came from the brunette Knight's hands as she attempted to rip every weapon she could detect from their owner's grip, even the sniper. He would feel his rifle pull away with the strength of twenty Banthas. Likewise Prelat’s tomahawk would wrench away from his own gauntleted hands. With all of her might, Varas pulled at their guns, axes and swords as though a magnet had latched onto them, attempting to fling them away.

Allowing Kyrel Ren to begin the second act.

Whisperer bursts into the KEC headquarter's lobby brandishing the Dissuader pistol in both hands and pauses for a moment to slide datapad from pocket with left hand and she examines the feed for a moment examining reported sighting of Mandalorian Targets. Something enters the building behind and she instantly pivots on obnoxious crackling glass with an obvious feat of preturnatural speed and grace fuelled by fear of unknown and shadows that laid before the lone Praetorian what Whisperer's startling sulphuric yellow eyes find however offers some level of comfort; a pair of troopers, ostensibly Special Forces. "Colonel Demek, Advanced Reconnaissance." Voice carries across the lobby with that characteristic softness that sees weapon lowered gaze pierces towards Denwich with a subtle smirk attempting to reach out and search their feelings only to find perhaps a reflection of herself or kindred spirits in this attack? Confusion and Irritation. Waiting for a response from the pair of Troopers she lowers weapon further with the barrel pointing harmlessly towards the ground from clothing and appearance one could obviously deduce that Colonel Demek wasn't prepared for the assault or within reach of proper equipment more than likely she was nearby and on-leave. If one attended the woman's belt though with trained eyes could the pouches of snap baton and some other melee weapon be identified. Unknown as of yet to Whisperer those addressed are members of FOSB and thus represented an organisation viewed with a mixture of suspicion and contempt on account of recent necessity of coup if but paid mind a discerning ear might detect the foreign influence upon accent when contrasted to typical Imperials; Cool, clipped and slightly harsh.

Arrogance was close to ending his life numerous times before in his life, today was not an exception as earlier he had disregarded the war droid's capabilities. As a quick learner, Therran did not need to repeat a mistake to learn from it. Hate drastically increasing within at the realization of the necessity of releasing his grasp over the Mandalorian as the droid passed for a strafing run.

The Sith evaded the blast with a few force enhanced steps backwards keeping his distance from the warrior. Splash damage from the blast tore patches of his trousers revealing blistered skin from beneath. Graush was still not fast enough. Still not good enough. The blast of the war droid had severed the integrity of the platform as the reinforced concrete armature abruptly leaned to one side forcing Therran to find his balance while the Mandalorian had fired. The lightsaber caught a few of the shots but the sudden disbalance gave a shot opportunity to penetrate his tunic.

Grazing his left shoulder, Therran instinctively dropped his saber on the ground due to the sudden immense heat. Through the Force, he felt the quickly approaching Mandalorian. The latter's hate feeding Graush's own powers. Slightly panting but augmented through the hate and fury both fighters felt as the dark side surged within him. An abhorrent look on his face as both hands jerked forward and slightly upwards. Clenching his fists, the ethereal followed. Torrents of pressure pummeled like a storm from all sides the war droid. To turn it into a hail of both large and small metal parts that would be accelerated at high velocity at the Mandalorian soaking his next volley of fire as he jetpacked towards the Sith. Ultimately Graush attempted to pin him with the remains of the war droid unto a wall, aiming to turn the parts of the war droid into the warrior's coffin.
