Alkor Centaris
Son of Liberty
Whether he intended to strike or not, Alkor was disinterested in what the boy had to say. Words wafted past him as he came closer to his prey. The not-Romeo called out in obvious confusion, but Alkor narrowed his focus. Blood boiled beneath his skin as he became acutely aware of the world around him and his thoughts grew deathly clear. Emotions raged through his veins, but they never bled into his thoughts. The blue blade sizzled to life and thrust for Alkor, but the Jen'jidai could see its path.
Crimson energy flipped upward and outward, and it shunted the weapon harmlessly away before it could touch Alkor. The plasma spun through in a tight half-circle away from the boy. Alkor stepped in and dragged the weapon along behind him in a precise horizontal slash intended to bisect his victim in the instant where his weapon was batted aside.
All the while, his eyes stared past Romeo as every thought was locked on combat.

"Return fire," Phaygus drawled.
They did not need to be told twice. The Boosted lasers opened fire, dead center of the troop contingent. One a piece from each X-1, in rapid succession. It was more of a warning shot, but then when you considered firepower of that magnitude, it was a considerably stern warning.
The SD-10s were already on the move.
Massive in their own right at the size of two and a half normal men, when they came in force it was a terror to behold. With their ionization shielding at point, they drank up enemy fire like water. Several of them fired a salvo of concussion missiles at the front line in order to disorient the strike force. Two of the droids shivered as the nearby effects of an ion blast caused them to slow down, and their shields stuttered out. The blasts that smashed into their armor caused them to fold over, even as the metal began to rebind and seal up the points of impact.
Around their ersatz battlefield, communications went silent. A field of chaff and electromagnetic interference made it impossible for anything to be transmitted in or out. "Attention, Sith," Phaygus spoke through the transmitter on one of the droids, "you have this one chance to stand down, or be terminated. Balmorran Arms is making their stance known: we will not suffer your kind on our world."

Ionic explosives rained down on the X-1 Vipers and a flurried cloud of particulates burned down on their shielding. It crackled, fizzled, then shorted for a moment as it sank into the droid's interior and electronics hummed vigorously. The droids buzzed in protest until the sound of rebooting and revving systems responded to the initial salvo. The molecular shielding rose slowly as the targeting systems acquired their newest best friends."Return fire," Phaygus drawled.
