The Fel Navy: Act I
The Siege of The Deep Ones​

The Deep Ones... Though unheard of in the Core, and never encountered in the mid and outer rims, they were a Definite Pain in the Ass_ to the Fel Imperium and their Navy. The Deep ones were a hyper-advanced race of cephalopod aliens who had single-handedly destroyed 2 Fel Battle-cruisers and were the Ex-Owners of the golden ancient sword which Harris so proudly displayed in his quarters.

Because of this, when the radio installations on the edge of the Osseriton System detected a faint encrypted signal leading to the very edge of the galaxy that perfectly matched previously-detected signals right before attacks, the news was quickly worked up the chain and placed on Harris' desk first thing.
Harris Sat at his desk in his formal suit, which he often wore when out of combat, and stared at the note. He read it a few times and called upon the Military Intelligence division to verify it, twice. This signal came from what was believed to be the home of the Deep Ones, or at least their colony in this galaxy. Will sat in disbelief for a moment. This was his chance to finally get back. After fully processing what he was seeing, he stood up and moved quickly out of his office, with the door sliding shut behind him. He quickly marched to his room and changed before calling in the Captain of the 'Admirallus' and having the fleet brought to orbit.

This mission was going to be difficult, but if it was successful, this would seriously gain them the advantage in driving out the deep ones from their sector. Harris quickly sent out a beacon and a message to the Fel Admiralty to gather at the edge of the system before ascending to his ship and taking off to the rally point.

 

[Richard Von]

Location: Aboard his Soontir flagship.

Von stood inside his quarters he accepted a transmission coming from the Premier, the Deep Ones colony had been found the Fel Imperium had a chance to strike out against the demons. A difficult race to deal with there will be loses, like all wars for a purpose to protect themselves and the citizens from the aggressive nature the Deep Ones have.

" Vice Admiral Anderson take us to these coordinates, when we arrive initiate the Long and Wide range scanners and keep quiet "

The jump to the rally point had began the flagship should arrive shortly, Von also sent transmissions to the fleet commanders to start preparing men and loading fuel plus supplies for a heavy combat mission. Richard finished putting on his new Admiral uniform, the suit was royal blue with black and gold accessories, he made his way to the hangar bridge leaving his uniforms cap behind Richard disliked caps. The flagship finished refueling from the space station and left the dock port launching into hyperspace.

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Adenn was out in space, practically the middle of nowhere, a location only a few people knew of. Those people were all there n ow, the entirety of the Mors Classemque fleet(in BIO). However, even if they were in the middle of nowhere, messages could still come to them. It was then that such a message came to them, one from the Premier himself. The message spoke of an old evil, the Deep Ones, and how a possible location had been found for them. Now, Adenn had no clue who these people or things were, however, if [member="Premier William Harris I"] said they needed to be destroyed, who was Adenn to say no to that. It was free violence, but with a purpose and an end goal. Thus Adenn had immediately ordered for his fleet to make all haste towards the coordinates entailed.

The hyperspace jump was uneventful, boring even, but a necessary one. When they arrived at the rally point, Adenn noted the others already there. Then again, it had been a request for many people to come and join in, so it was to be expected.

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic sat quietly in the hanger of his Nebula-class flagship, making sure that the Starcrest was ready for any combat. He had just received word that the Fel Fleets were called to a system said to have some activity of an aggressive group, or species with hyper advanced tech. Either way, the fleet that had effectively become the Fel Empire's strike fleet was now in route to join up with the others. Once there, the small flotilla sat and waited for someone to give more details on what was doing on.

Harris' massive flagship the 'Admirallus' slowly drifted into the view of the gathering fleets, submerging the rallying in darkness for a few minutes as the wedge-shaped 5,000-meter craft blocked out the sun. Harris sat aboard the bridge as the vessel moved at full thrust to keep pace with the smaller ships of his fleet. Harris turned towards one of the many pilot chiefs.

"Get us aligned with the jump point while I hail the rest of the admirals."

Harris slowly stood upright and turned to walk around his chair, saluting a few officers as they walked opposite of him carrying tablets. He walked into an open room with a large holo-table in the center and gazed across to the communications officer.

"We have multiple check-ins from Admiral Daws, Admiral Von, And Lord Admiral Kyramud, all requesting orders."

"Good, send them the alignment measurements and jump coordinates, and open up a live panel."

The man quickly tapped a few buttons before 3 live images of the Admiral's faces appeared.

"Premier Harris, Grand Admiral of the first fleet, My transmission was short so I'll fill you in for the mission. The Deep ones are an adversary of any civilized people out here in wild space. Though our region is relatively stable, and we have done much exploration, there is still a lot of unknown. They are among the unknown. The Deep Ones are, from what we can tell, a race of intergalactic savages who attack and slaughter before disappearing by what we can only describe as a ripple in the time-space continuum. We believe they have bypassed us for so long due to the fact that they don't need hyperspaces in their craft. It is as though they are creating wormholes that are completely stable and undetectable to our sensors." He cleared his throat. " Until recent that is. We have detected what we believe to be a signal from a place that exists just outside of what can be considered our galaxy. They are in the galactic orbit, but barely. We don't know how or why, but we are going to act on our hunch. This mission is very dangerous, and we don't know what can happen en-route. We have only sent 5 probes to attempt to find a clear route, and only one continues to transmit data. We have to stay in a tight formation as to not throw ourselves into a black hole, or collide with a pulsar."

Harris shook his head, almost revealing some of his anxiety for the up-and-coming task. He glanced down and seen a green light blink, the signal from the pilots. He felt a light sway as the ship moved into position.

"Good luck, we have transmitted the instructions and measurements to your fleets, if there are no questions, we should get a move on, " pausing for a moment, "May the force be with you."

[Adenn Kyramud]

At the appearance of the Admirallus, Adenn chuckled in slight awe. That was one big ship, no denying that. Then came Harris' message about their enemy and the mission, it seemed simple enough to Adenn. Go somewhere, kill an enemy, then be back in time for dinner. When asked if any questions were to be had, Adenn simply sent a negative message, indicating that they were good to go. Grinning slightly behind his helmet, Adenn had the fleet prepare for departure towards the final meeting place, right where they'd enter and find these Deep Ones.

When the Force osik came in, Adenn snorted in disgust. He'd prefer a blaster or slugthrower over the Force any day. However, that snort wouldn't go over comms, only to those on the bridge of his ship. Shaking hsi head, Adenn turned towards the view screen, They'd depart once Harris gave the go ahead, then they'd be en route and would show these Deep Ones the power over Mandalorians.

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic listened carefully to [member="Premier William Harris I"] . So they were up against an unknown enemy, with unknown strength. Well this reminded him of his merc days. The vessels of his fleet soon began to form up with Harris's fleet, not sure what exactly to expect, but ready for anything.

"This is Admiral Kalic Daws. Forming up and ready when you are."

The Jump​

Harris marched out of the room as the holographic tabled faded to darkness, quickly passing through the opening sliding doors. The ship creaked as it finished aligning, Harris looking down to the sound, he had a slight smirk on his face as he approached his captain's chair, which was elevated above the rest of the crew. He quickly mounted his seat and strapped in before looking down.

"Navigations officer, are we all set?"

"We are completely aligned, all that's left is launch." The officer clicked a button as a small control panel parallel to the side of Harris's chair shook, a little less than half-way through the council a bar slowly rose as the lights dimmed in the bridge.

Harris placed his hand near the bar, discretely pressing a comms button on the other, "All crew, this is William Harris, The Premier, and Admiral of this vessel, final warnings to buckle yourselves in." Harris released the button and slid his left hand to a safety cover, lifting it and flipping the switch. A loud alarm began to Blair as the lights in the bridge shifted blue, Harris grabbed a dial next to the bar before pushing the speaker once more, "Prepare to jump to hyperspace." He twisted the dial as the distant hyperdrive charged. He glanced down in the direction of the pilot crew, whose chief nodded. A smile grew on his face as Harris slowly slid the bar forwards, the bar reached completely forwards as hyperspace began to fold around them, the ship accelerated before it, and the fleet, tightly entered in close proximity.

After Days in hyperspace, the Admiral is summoned to the bridge...​

Harris listened as the crew counted down, 3... 2... 1... Suddenly, with a shake, the ship shot out of hyperspace, the other fleets coming out just behind them. Harris looked forwards with confusion the void was completely black, save for the bits of light escaping from the galaxy behind them. They were surrounded by nothing, and there was nothing for hundreds of light-years.

Harris turned to a man in a white uniform amongst the sea of blue. "Captain, what am I looking at?"

The man shook his head, "It should be right here," he looked over to some crew-mated for a response. "Right?"

One of the men adjusted his glasses before standing and walking to the Captain, "Sir, it is right here, Infrared is picking up a massive object at 12 o'clock. My recommendation is focussing a forward beam of energy and seeing if we can spot it."

The hull of the ship lit up, all energy focussing into a massive beam at the front of the hull. A beam flew forwards, striking a massive metal object with a light reflection. The was a split second before what appeared to be sphere surrounding the entire began to light up. There was a rush of light as massive doors began to slide open, letting through the blinding light of super-massive star and system ahead. Harris stood in awe.

"Full speed ahead."

The ship accelerated through the massive shell, fleets following. As the ships passed through, there was a beeping of incoming targets, this was it. Harris looked out, there was a massive void, the clearest he'd ever seen. lit by a single red star in the center, which dimly lit the metal shell surrounding the entire system.

Harris quickly focused on the beeping, "Incoming targets! All hands to stations!" The shell closed slowly behind the fleet as hundreds of craft, looking almost like massive cephalopods with little arms, accelerated towards them at a high rate of speed. There was a massive crack in the hull as one opened fire, striking and bouncing off the shield of the bridge.

"Shields full strength ahead!" Harris stood and marched down level with his men, "All weapons aim 12 o'clock, signal the destroyers to try to surround them, and someone get ahold of Daws, Kyramud, and Von! They need to assist us on punching a whole to this planet, it's gonna take a hell of a lot of fire-power to get to DO-3, the colony.

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic looked out of the odd sphere, shocked by the thing. He'd never seen a structure so massive before, and it honestly scared him just a bit. This was no normal thing, and as a former spacer, the Miraluka could be superstitious. He had heard many crazy tails: Living ships, angles, lost spacers gone crazy and basically rabid. It sorta freaked out the Admiral, causing an officer to chuckle.

"You ok Admiral? Look like you've seen a ghost."

"Call it a spacer's intuition." It was then that [member="Premier William Harris I"] 's fleet called out many enemy craft ahead. The Admiral's jaw dropped as he quickly looked at the officer. "Get us moving to support Harris. I'll handle fighter support!"

"But, Admir...." Before he could object, Kalic was gone. "Feth. All ships, full ahead, all forward batteries!" Meanwhile, in the hanger, the pilot and his astromech hopped into the Starcrest and fired up her engines. Behind it, Fel TIEs lifted off and followed into battle.

Fleet: Mors Classemque(Death Fleet), in BIO at bottom
Tags: [member="Kalic Daws"] [member="Premier William Harris I"] [member="Richard Von"]

Adenns fleet had followed Harris' fleet through hyperspace for several days. By the time they arrived at their destination, all the troops aboard were going slightly stir crazy, eager for action, and expecting lots of it. Thus when they finally exited hyperspace, every single Mandalorian was ready for war, regardless of time or work slots, they all wanted in on the action. Adenn was going to oblige them, he wanted in as well after all. However, there was nothing there at first, not until a light shone onto some massive structure, something Adenn had never seen before. Several gasps were heard across the fleet, but Adenn wasn't among them, he pretended to be unfazed, instead ordering their advance.

The Mors Classemque(Death Fleet) pushed ahead of everyone else, quickly pushing themselves forward to act as the spear tip of the Fel fleet. Adenn then began giving out orders.
"Switch shields to double front, let's ram these aruetiise to the side! Coordinate fire with one another, swarm them with fighters and burn them all. This is extermination, let's show the others how it's really done. Oya vode, for Mortui, to glory and honor!"

Then came the message from Harris, a message that Adenn rerouted to the holo projector at his seat in front of him. Adenn caught part of what Harris wanted, but didn't wait for a proper connection to be established before he was talking.
"Well Premier, lovely battle we got going on here. Mortui will speartip this, we'll just rush them and then spread out. The rest of the fleet can follow us in, aim for those most dangerous to us. Mortui will be sure to create a whole, then when we're closer we can deploy troops before securing orbit of the planet. After that, well we'll find out won't we. Let's go kill some of these things." Shaking his head, Adenn laughed slightly before motioning for Harris to speak. "Sorry Premier Harris, got slightly carried away. If you have anything to add or would like to change something, I'm open to suggestions."

Adenn leaned back in his chair to listen to whatever else was said, even as his fleet began pushing towards the planet. They were taking fire, but the shields were holding, even as they fired back at the enemy, intent on killing as many of them as possible.

 

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike exited out of hyperspace. He was ready for a war. When Mike intercepted a coded signal, Mike went there to destroy it. He quicky saw the Fel empire. He decided to hail them, so Mike could figure out what is really going on around there. Mike picked up his ships comm and said, "This is Mike V'Trechen. I am trying to page the captain of the Admiralis. Hello?" Just then, a ship came from no where and shot at him. Mike was lucky that it did not damage his sith infiltrator much, so Mike started to put his guns out ready for a fight.

 

[null3]

"Sir, deep ones strong hold directly ahead!" Harris looked forwards as the officer pointed. His ship sped quickly towards the deep one's colony.

"Men, set a defensive line around the world, hail the fleets and tell them we have punched through." Harris' plan was tried and true. Encircle the world, destroy the fleet, then send down troops. That wouldn't be difficult so long as no larger ships showed up.

Harris's ship began opening fire and decimating the armor of the small corvettes and frigates in orbit. He shouted commands as his fighters launched and the swarm of battle consumed him.

 

[Mike V'Trechen]

Mike found a ship that was about to fire on the ship, so Mike looked at his weapon systems and quickly locked it into place. The ship exploded and Mike yelled through the comms, "I got you a hole hyperjump now! I am a leutinant and a spec op and I order you to go to hyperspace!"
