Location: Defiant Mantis, Ord Cantrell space
Objective: Defeat Vong Fleet

Enemies: [member="Elafuh Thaal"]

Livia grabbed the arms of her command chair as the defiant mantis went through the middle of the Vong destroyers. While shields and primary hull continued to take the plasmic buffets of the Vong ships, the debris sucked into the molecular furnaces was rematerialized as ammunition.

Flagrant overuse of fire had the destroyers in explosive flames. The Vong destroyer crumbled apart, pieces flicking off in space, knocking into other coral-created ships.

Livia grinned as her crew celebrated, a few precious seconds before they shifted targets. The Never Again’s main guns and batteries made crumbles of the Vong carrier, giving the remaining coralskippers nowhere else to go.

“Make for the seedship, Mr. Tucker!” As the defiant Mantis finished its run, Livia checked the gravitic converters and smirked.

“Shift our pitch, all engines fire. Twist ya around on the seed ship and clear enough distance for the Never Again! Alor Gred? Might I thank you for decimating those frigates? Jolly good, Sir!” Maddox flicked channels, checking in with Flash and Mig. “Their numbers are dwindling, but that seedship is still making for the surface! Care to help destroy it, vode? I for one will celebrate its passing!”

Jovial and grim, Maddox continued to push the defiant mantis, knowing the ship would continue to fire.

A few of wasp's mortui escort drop down to the other side oft he wall in order to avoid the sudden blast bug attack. The marksman takes out a few chazrach that make it through their defenses while the squad lead continues to spit slugs from the turrets, mowing down chazrach left and right as they get near the entrance, but they were all well aware that they couldn't hold that gate much longer. As the enemy get's closer, wasp figures things out and starts rewiring the mainframe.

"Three!"

The speeder takes a hit from a blastbug, sending sparks and smoke everywhere. the mortui escort rush in, blasting the chazrach ahead with slug throwers, blasters and wrist rockets while their medic pulls the squad leader out of the speeder.

"Two!"

The chazrach and vong get closer, a few of them climbing through the wreckage of the speeder. the mortui pull into the base, just behind the gate.

"ONE!"

Just as the first few enemies get past the gate, The base's main generators come online, activating the shields. the blue dome forms quickly, forming an umbrella over the main tower that soon extends to the ground, incinerating chazrach that are unfortunate enough to be standing in the gateway. a few had made it through, but the mandalorians would make short work of them.

Wasp sighs in relief and stands to observe the main controls that were coming online one at a time. "Ok, let's get security up and running and then see about extending the grid to the other bases"

She then activates the base's comms and broadcasts a message to all friendlies on the ground

"This is Wasp to all ground forces: The powerplant is online and shields are up. Automated security will be restored momentarily, and power will be coming back up to outposts across ord centrell. We have lizards and worse inbound, could use support, and I'm sure some of you could use these ray shields right about now, over"

THE GROUND​

HILL 47​

MOVING TOWARDS THE OP​

​

"This is Nathan, we read you Wasp. In bound on your position. Give your shield a three second on, two second off stutter so we can get in."​

Another three thumps, another three mortar rounds sailed into the vong. A corral-skipper came low, grazing them with fire. One shot got lucky and nicked their third tube, reducing it to slag.

Nathan whirled, dodging fire, rolling onto his back and sent a duo of wrist rockets after it. The first was sucked into dovin basal oblivion, but the second tagged the engines, sending it into a spin. Black smoke corkscrewed behind it as it burned in hard, sending dust ad vong parts up into the air, adding to the columns of acrid black.

"I see the flicker! We lost a tube!"

"Great," He grunted, rising from all fours in a crouch. He spun both Westar-34 Pistols, and rammed one home, keeping his other at the high ready in his right hand, "We stay here and we ain't gonna survive."


The left snapped out, fist enclosed, aimed downhill towards another assault.

"Flamers!"

"Firing!"

They let loose a sea of flickering orange and amber, cooking bug flesh alive.

"Bounce!"

Then they jumped again, lifting off into the air, spiraling towards the shield in a wobbly arc....

 

[EllieEx]

"Got friendlies coming in, Keep 'em covered!" She shouts to her mortui escort before raising one hand to the side of her helmet, activating her commlink

-Roger that nathan, Setting flicker now, just get in quick, you hear?-


Wasp slides her fingers across a few touch screens, cycling through settings for a moment before the shield starts to flicker- Three seconds of active ray shielding followed by three seconds off. She didn't hear their request wrong, but it wasn't like these damned republic shields had those settings, she was having to estimate while setting a timer on the shield's power source, better to give them an extra second and play it safe, than find that her estimation was wrong and leave them with a second and a half instead.

"You heard what she fething said! COVER THEM." The mortui squad leader bellows. each member of wasp's escort squadron took careful aim whenever the shields were active, Opening up precise fire to deadly effect any time the shields deactivated.

[Thror Cal Vorn]

As Thror fires on the thralls, bolts of energy begin to fall around him. He turns an looks up to see two vong fireing at him, He takes aim and fires. the first bolts hit home and the first vong warrior goes down. The second ones weapon take a hit and falls to the floor. the vong backs away from the ledge. Thror takes out hid grapple gun and fires, the cable reaches out and connects to the bottom on the landing above the vong. Thror slings his rifle and draws his DL-44. As he clears the legs the vong lashes out with it amphistaff, the point pierces his abdomen. Yelling in pain he fired his blaster at the creature in front of him. Hitting the vong in the chest staggering the creature. He unhooked his grappler and charged the ving. The two exchanged blows furiously, Both taking injuries Thror finally gained the upper hand and fired his blaster point blank into the vong armpit.

Looking at the vong laying on the ground Thror decided to take a trophy. taking his beskad out he cut the right ear off each warrior. storing his trophies he turned back around and began firing gain in the the horde of thralls. being less accurate with his injuries.

 

[Elafuh Thaal]

The Yammosk was getting desperate for survival now as it knew this maybe its final hours directing all its attention to [member="Adenn Kyramud"] and his men as the Basals shield reflected most of the fire at it a few bolts grazed it causing it to let out an ear piercing shriek of pain as it whiped a tendril out to hit Adenn as it sent out a repulse of gravity energy all around itself to try and push away the forces from it. The intense gravity it was emitting upon them subsided as it was focused purely now on defense and offense now, The results of this where obvious to all in the battle as vong and Chazrach and thralls both inside the ship and out on the field became less coordinated and organized as the yammosks connection with its forces was released now it was more focused on Adenn.

It was more noticeable from the Chazrach warriors that [member="Vhei Wasp Naudir"] and [member="Nathan Raxis"] and [member="Stardust Solus Skirae"] as they went completely wild attacking everything and everyone that was near them whether they where friend or foe as the Vong warriors either where busy fighting off the wild chazrach or stopped for a moment confused as to what to do before they just attacked at random relying on what ever they saw best to do but the battle field was reduced from a coordinated mess to just pure mayhem and carnage, Vong versus eachother while trying to bash into the shield any Chazrach that wasn't killing anything that moved did suicide charges towards the gate as there was no reasoning or sanity with these creatures.

The Rakamat that was fighting Stardust became less focused and more acted like a feral thing as it flailed around and just destroyed or tried to destroy anything that was near it, The coordination was gone all that was left was rampant wild vong warriors and there uncontrolled creatures running rampant and wild. Cleaning up the vong was going to be easier but due to there now wild nature it only became more imperative to be rid of them before they destroy Cantrell completely.

As for [member="Thror Cal Vorn"] as he was collecting his trophies there was no more vong heading his way leaving him a clear path to helping Adenn and his people in there fight with the Yammosk.


Elafuh was less then amused when she was observing what was going on through the villip, the yammosk was doing well so far until this point where it started to panic, while shes not surprised by the fact due to its facing Mandalorians of all people she expected a better result then sheer mental panic from one of her greater creations. She moved a little as her left arm was currently being worked on by a fellow shaper grafting yammosk DNA as well as a Dovin Basal into her body, She had a test she wanted to try and it was a mixture of somthing the vong have done before and something that was never before tried. The pain of the operation was great but she was used to it to a point that it was a small ache in comparison to the other horrors shes shaped into her body previously, Cantrell maybe a lost cause but she had other targets in mind for these people.

Wasp continues her work at the powerplant, connecting bases to the grid one by one until everything on the had a little blue dot over it, signifying friendly positions, probably. Once she's sure that everything is in order, she activates them all.

One by one, the shields come online, forming blue domes all across the surface of ord centrell. Soon after, automated security comes back online, Small lazer turrets just outside of the shields, and even a few turbo lazers that must have been taken from the galactic empire in the ancient days that saw the construction of these bases. And to top it all off, the doors to the thousands of weapons caches around the world were now open.

The vongese and chazrach begin falling into chaos and discord in the distance, some fighting their chazrach, while others blindly rush into the killbox the mortui escort had set up at the gate, now aided by a multitude of turrets along the walls. Finally they were making real progress!

"They must have killed the brain..bug. thing.." Wasp says, making her way down to the gate.

She draws one of her DE-10s and begins shooting at stray chazrach as they attempt entry to the powerplant.

"You mean.. the yammosk?" one of the soldiers muttered.

Fighting the yammosk was hard, one of the hardest fights Adenn had ever had, and no doubt would ever have. However, they were hurting it if the shriek was anything to go by. That and the weakening of the gravity on them. Laughing, Adenn used his jetpack to hop over the tendril, narrowly avoiding it while cutting at it with both the aphistaff and sword. So elated was Adenn at the ease of movement that he didn't notice the other attack from another tentacle. Even as his men fought on against the yammosk, charging in despite being pushed away, hacking and slashing at what they could, Adenn was hit.

The hit sent Adenn flying a dozen meters before he went crashing against the wall, hard. His men saw that and they weren't happy, they renewed their attacks with double the energy and anger, focusing their attacks to be kill hits. They stabbed, sliced, shot, and did their best to burn the yammosk, firing everything at their disposal to kill the thing. Adenn meanwhile had crashed against the wall, specifically close to some spikes that were sticking out of the wall. His right side was cut open from them, while his jetpack was also compromised by the spike sticking out of it. While he was injured, Adenn had enough presence of mind to release himself from the jetpack, allowing himself to fall down, even as it exploded behind him. At the bottom he was just barely caught by Gunner, his 2nd.

Gunner lowered Adenn gently to the floor, before beginning first aid on his Alor, being careful not to injure him further. It took a few moments, during which time Adenns injuries and damage to his amor became evident. There was a crack running along the front chestplate, while the back and side armor had been hit by the spikes, at the same time his helmet was dented inwards. However, Adenn wouldn't be so easily felled. When Gunner was finished enough, Adenn staggeringly got back to his feet before opening fire on the yammosk again. At the same time, 2 Beskar Elite guards moved infront of Adenn to shield him from further harm, even as they also continued to pour fire into the creature. Adenn then let out an inhuman roar of anger, hatred, and unyielding towards the yammosk before loosing his last rocket towards the yammosk, straight towards the head.

Location: Ord Cantrell, Open Space
Objective: Defeat Vong Fleet
Allies: [member="Flash Australis"] [member="Mig Gred"] [member="Kaine Australis"] [member="Adenn Kyramud"] [member="Vhei Wasp Naudir"] [member="Nathan Raxis"] [member="Stardust Solus Skirae"]

I wince only slightly as the seedship goes up in a burst of chain reactions, clinging to the arms of my chair as the shockwave bashes against our shields and shifts us slightly off course. Still, the deed is done. Ord Cantrell will not be falling to the Vong today, but taking the colours of Mandalore.

The guns are quiet, my cannons echoing in the soundless deep. As [member="Mig Gred"] and his fleet of quick-as-you-dare ships route out the remaining coral skippers and one ill-fated frigate, I lean back in my Command Chair and run my fingers along ruby painted lips.

“Vong… they’re getting bold, but I wonder if they’re quite beaten yet? Word from Helska states Domains loyal to the Sith, so which are these? Remnants from Orinda, or…”

“Ma’am? Orders, Ma’am.” Rayonda cocks her head to the side and I stiffen in my seat. Yes, I was mumbling, what of it? A slender eyebrow raises, and I tap at the sensor readings coming in from my science officers.

“Burn the wreckage to cinders. All of it. Ord Cantrell’s space is ours. Coordinate with the Never Again to clean out the remaining Vong coral. I want none of it left. Not one ounce. We require no samples from space, when we have plenty on the surface. Congratulate Alor Gred, and invite him and his Clan to dine aboard the Never Again tonight. No reason they can’t have some kip while we tidy up the skies with a little house keeping.” I tug at my jacket, settling into the chair more comfortably again.

“You should rest, Ma’am. An’th’little one.” Mr. Tucker nodded, and for once I don’t feel like eviscerating him with a butter knife made of soft cheese. He’s a kind man for a pirate.

But then again, to outsiders, aren’t we all?

 

[Elafuh Thaal]

The last thing Elafuh saw through her vilip was the rocket impacting the weakened yammosk killing it instantly beforte the explosion devourered the villip she had stationed there, With the fall of the yammosk vong forces all across Cantrell where disorganized and easy to clean up. The battle for cantrell was lost for now but there are other battles, other wars to conducts, other worlds to terraform and play with this would not be the last time she sees these Mandalorians again and like all wars and battles prior the vong are nothing if not adaptable and perhaps it was high time she stepped beyond her cultures boundries. First step recreate the conditions former overlord Omini created to achieve sensitivity to the force again, The next steps will come forward in time and she had all the data she ever wanted from the battle she viewed the only downside she had seen from it was the fact that a worldship was lost and is now no doubt in the hands of the Mandalorians to be used against them in the future.

She stood up from her chair as the shapers finished there grafting the new abilities and such that came forth from the grafting will take some getting used to but she had all the time in the world before she plans her next step, She had other creatures to make and other new ideas in her mind to make. She learned a few things from this conflict and one of them is that to beat your enemy you must think outside the boundries of your own species and while if this is known she may loose favor among her fellow Vong it will in the long run someday prove to be fruitful.

Wasp and the men with her finish off the last few chazrach before the automated security decimates the rest in her area. As she steps out from behind the shield and into the orange light of the evening, she pulls her helmet to get a clear view of the scene. Smoke stacks billowed throughout the world, spent drop pods littered the fields and collapsed buildings obscured the very edge of the distant treelines, and chazrach bodies lay piled throughout each and every sector. truly a sight to behold.

When she turns back to address the men with her, she does so with a warm smile.

"Inform whoever's sitting up in orbit that we've beaten them back, and then have salvage crews sweep the bases, We could surely use the weapons left by the "New republic", and I can think of no better repayment for defending ord centrell"

And with that, her part to play in the defense of ord centrell was over. She sits down on the edge of the hill and stares up at the sky, watching for the dropships that would be there to pick them up shortly, occasionally glancing down at the yhuuzan vong skull that was tied to her belt

It finally worked, the yammosk was killed thanks to the combined efforts of Adenn and his men. For a moment there was silence, then the Mortui warriors focused on the thralls and opened fire, killing them in a few minutes time. At the same time Adenn fell to a knee from his injuries, the hours of constant fighting finally getting to him. Using his sword to support him, Adenn knelt(like that pic) there, resting himself with his left arm crossed across his left knee, holding the amphistaff close. Looking down at it, Adenn shook his head before trying to rise, only to collapse backwards and falling unconscious. He was too injured to continue, no matter how much he wished to keep fighting. Immediately Adenn was surrounded by a squad of medics, they had come in from the hallways and were seeing to the injuries of all present, event Thror.

At the same time, across this side of the ship, the Clan Mortui warriors were invigorated, and having to face less gravitic pressure and less coordinated enemies began making further progress. They began fighting their way into the other side of the ship, slowly but surely, no doubt they'd be able to clear most of the ship after a few more hours, perhaps a day, but that was a story for another time. A call was sent out to all present, it was sent by Clan Mortui and with all the fanfare of a great victory.
"The yammosk has been destroyed, thus the coordination of the vong should be decimated, pressure now and slaughter the vong. Clean these cattle up, for Mandalore!"

Adenn didn't see any of this though, he was instead carried away on a stretcher towards a shuttle that would take him to the medical facilities aboard his ship. Surrounding him were his elites and the few warriors who had survived through the fight. They escorted Adenn on his stretcher, intent on protecting him, even when they couldn't fully during the fight. One of the warriors even invited Thror to tag along and get some medical attention if he needed it. A few minutes later the shuttle would return to the ship, with Adenn being brought to the medical wing.

=================================================================================================================

A call was sent out to various locations within Mandalorian space, it was a call for a garrison for Ord Cantrell. The Mandalorians feared that the vong would attack the planet once more, thus a garrison would be sent to the planet. There they'd be the first line of defense for the planet, while eventually more things would be built. Thankfully the government was in full support of this, after all they would've been slaughtered were it not for the help of the Mandalorians. A few ships would also be sent, they'd patrol the system and ensure that there would be plenty of forewarning should any enemies come knocking. The garrison would be there in a few weeks time while the ships would take slightly longer. Until they got there, a small detachment from Clan Mortui volunteered to stay behind and monitor the planet and hunt any survivors.

Meanwhile the Mandalorians now had a massive world ship at their disposal, many didn't know what to do it. Some said to destroy it, other said to learn from it, while others still said to leave it as a memorial for those they lost. Surprisingly it wasn't Clan Mortui that did it, it was the planets people. However, seeing as Clan Mortui sacrificed the most within the ship itself, they were given final say on the matter. After much debate, it was decided that the world ship would be sent to a Mandalorian world where they could examine it and take the biological technology from the world ship and reverse engineer it. At the same time, any who took weapons from the vong were allowed to keep their newly acquired weapons, as a trophy and a weapon of war. Adenn himself kept the amphistaff he'd taken, as well as a few other toys that had been found for him aboard the world ship.

All in all it was a victory for the UCM, they captured a world ship, would soon enough add a planet to their domain, and beat back a vong invasion. The cost was high, but it was paid and the rewards paid them back. Those who had participated in the fighting were offered a week off of their normal duties, for the fighting had been fierce all around. Adenn himself ordered his men to take that rest, for he knew they'd need it, the same way he'd need it. That was the end then for this battle, a successful battle fought, victory attained, and loot gained as well as some new additions. As always, it was for Mandalore and to glory and honor.

 

[Thror Cal Vorn]

As Thror finished of the last thrall he could see a missile made its way across his vision. When he looked were it was going a massive explosion tore through the chamber. The yammosk was gone. Thror observed the group of mandos beginning to make their way back to their entry point he decided to go with them as it was his only way off the world-ship. He fired his grapple gun at the floor and descended to the bottom of the chamber. AS he approached the mandos he greeted them and joined in the banter between soldiers that was always present at the end of a battle. They had won,For the glory of Mandalore he thought as they made their way to the shuttles.
