The Raven Who Stole Christmas [Invasion of Barab I - Red Ravens vs Black Suns ]

[Anastasia Rade]

Location: Esfandia-Class Carrier Corvette with [member="Ice"]
Allies: Red Ravens [member="Keira Ticon"] [member="Nei Laa"] [member="Cryax Bane"]
Enemies: Black Suns
Objective: Drill into the underground city

Anastasia couldn't help but cringe when she saw they were working with the Sith. She hated the Sith as they had done so much evil in the galaxy to not only her but her Vod. He had helped keep her locked up.

Sighing she watched as the mining droids did there work trying to keep herself calm. It would do her no good to go stab those Sith in the face right now. She was here to assist the Ravens as she was supposed to do. She would leave her issues with the Sith alone for the time being. They were not her allies though and she didn't trust they had her back nor Cryax.

The young woman was quite taken back when he grabbed her for a kiss but not upset. She new the gravity of the situation they were getting into as such she wrapped her arms around and gave him a long passionate kiss. It was a type of kiss she had never given him before. It could be there last and she wanted to make it something he wouldn't soon forget. Before letting go she paused for a few seconds savoring what little time they had left. He knew how she felt, what he meant to her.

Placing on her helmet she turned her attention to the map that he had sent. Since she wasn't a slicer she was in essence hired muscle to keep the enemy at bay. The map was a good guideline but she would use the features of her helmet as well. She would stick with being Cryax's body guard while he was slicing. "Nope, ready to rock and roll."

Something told her that after this was over she was going to need a vacation.

 

[Tahl Edrel]

Tahl nodded at the information. He had a special EVA suit built for a creature of his stance to aid in the assault.

"Nope, no quenstions. I assume you've briefed R4 on his role?"

[Puppet Kyrios]

Location: Ice's personal ship in space with the rest of the fleet. His esfandia class carrier corvette.
Allies: Red Ravens & their allies
Enemies: Black Suns & their allies
Objective: In Orbit. Are we there yet?

Asteria was in the hangar fixing something on her CloakShape remake, the Finality, when she heard orders to defend [member="Ice"]'s as it came in. She patched through to Ice with the comm built into her helmet, "You want me to help defend your ship, or stay here 'till we get to the planet?"

 

[Alaina Merrill]

Location: On board ship waiting to drill down
Objective three: Barab ore mines and take control
Allies: [member="Barik Rahl"]@Colap Ticon
Enemies:Black Sunnies

Looking over the equipment that would be what would be the driller. Also with her own gear as she was ready in her suit and all the weapons. Putting her long knife into her boot. She would see it used today to gut those that got into her way. One thing about her was she might be one to not speak much. It was the blood that ran through her veins that said other ways.

"Nope, I don't think I need a drink this time around.", she was one to keep mind quiet and she didn't need any alcoholic to cloud it.

 

[Keanu Shan]

Location: boarding the station
Allies: Red Ravens
Enemies: Black sun

"im with you Lysle" Keanu launched himself into the void between the ships. grabbing hold to the rent hull he rolled in behind Logan and Adenn.
(by this time he had switched to the provided EVA suits and found a blaster carbine to supplement his pistol.) "Lets roll". now he was getting into the swing of things, locking into combat mode.

[Cambry Owens]

Location | Barab I, Currently in Orbit at a point far enough away from the impending space shenanigans that he should be fine.​

Allies | The Red Ravens, People who are working towards his objective.​

Hostiles | People who are trying to kill him.​

Objective | Objective 3 :: Infiltrate the Mines, Take Control​

​

​

"Prettier from up here, anyway."
Cambry stared out the viewport next to the docked Drop Pod as he pulled tight one of the straps on his shipsuit.​

"Records indicate it's a ghastly place at all times, so I suspect you will sing a new tune once you have landed. If you land."​

The spacer scoffed, and an eyebrow furrowed.​

"Lot of confidence you're showin' there, buddy."​

"I am simply afraid I've not known this pod long enough to trust it, is all."​

Cambry shushed the droid, giving the pod a pat.​

"Don't be rude to Pawny."
"You are not calling it that."
"Her, I'm calling Her that." He responded defiantly.​

There was no sound for a moment, Cambry felt victorious.​

"Enter the pod, the calculations are complete." Came the clipped, dry voice of Verne once again. Cambry felt his heart drop a little. It was with due reservation that he pulled on his Beskar Helmet, sealed it, and made a last check of his equipment.​

"Perhaps you'll want to contact your team leader, however. Before you drop yourself into an almost literal hell."​

That sounded like a good idea. Cambry switched channels in his helmet.
"Colap Tee-Con, am I sayin' that right? Not the point, I guess. Is uh- is the rest of the team ready? What's our...gameplan?" Cambry asked, a little aimlessly.​

Enemies: Black Suns - [member="Rayl Wilded"]
Objective: I - Take the station

The shuttle piled into the breach, with Lysle at the helm of their command. He knew Sigourney would be along shortly. The voice of Adenn dragged his attention to him, and Lysle said, "Affirmative, but I want you to locate the engine room, take one of the S1 droids along with you. I want the engine down before the hour is over." He looked to Logan, "Logan and I will find the bridge with Daxton Bane." He hiked a thumb back towards the shuttle where Sigourney would be, "I want Xalus and Sigourney on search and destroy duty, sweep the hallways, kill anyone who isn't a Raven." Lysle unholstered his ELG-3A blaster pistol, some had questions about it being outdated, but at the end of a day, any blaster could pierce a scorched hole through flesh. There was no debating that.

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Location: Orbit
Allies: Red ravens and their allies
Enemies: Black suns and their allies

"N-No questions F-from me" Raven said quietly in response to the Chiss' speech. She also had a special eva suit to fit her tail and ears.

Raven wasn't in her eva suit yet and she though it would be best to change. She undid her belt and started walking very shakily to collect her suit.

Objectives: Take the station


"Sorry to be late to party." The Sith broadcast on the guard channel, as he joined the group. The Sith was wearing his combat armor beneath his EVA and it clearly slowed him a bit. Checking the surroundings with the Force, he kept his blaster rifle ready in case the opposition choose to make an objection to their presence.

Slightly behind him a trio of droidekas deployed, special magnets on their soles allowed them mobility on such a hostile surface. It only took a second or two before their shields hummed to life.

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

Location: Onboard a Sith Warship exiting hyperspace near the Barab System
Allies: The Red Raven
Enemies: No One Really
Objective: Mess With Kaine

“Come now Kaine.” A voice erupted from seemingly no where, a reverberating sound that seemed to echo and resound through the bridge of the ship. As it went on, the voice became more focused and narrow, it emanated from the corner of the the bridge, tearing through the very air and focusing on those on the bridge. “Will the Dark Lord not be pleased by Chaos?”

No one else save for Kaine and those on his ship could hear him of course, but as Soliael bled out into the reality of the Star Destroyer his voice seemed to resonate within the skulls of those on board.

[member="Darth Vornskr"] would recognize him of course, Moridins wayward child who had once served the Sith Empire before branching off to disappear into the unknown regions. The fact that he so closely resembled his father would only be a boon to those who had served the old guard of the Sith. Some of them gasped as those blazing Orange eyes swept over the bridge.

“Has that not always your directive?” He smiled knowingly at Kaine.

It was impossible to tell why the man was here, why he had chosen to make an appearance at this place, at this time, or why he had appeared specifically to Kaine. The two men had never really interacted before, though they of course knew of each other if only through familial connection.

“Let the Lord of Chaos rule?” The quote resounded in Soliaels throat, a grin on his face.

Objective: I - Take the Station

Logan stood in the front of the crowd as they all piled into the breach. He loosened the holster on his waist making his blaster pistol more accessible. He reached back over his left shoulder and grabbed the butt of his A295 rifle, bringing it over his shoulder and resting it in a relaxed holding position. He squeezed the grip softly, running his fingers over the small bumps. "Understood Lysle. I'm with ya' till the end as always." He jogged forward to the nearest door, stopping a few feet short. He dropped to a knee, raising his rifle to his shoulder, his cheek pressed softly against the cool metal rail. He closed one eye, looking down the all to familiar sights. "Ready when you are Daxton."

 

[Amarant]

Since everyone else has a soundtrack suggestion:

Keep it in the dark


Position: Aboard the ore processing station.

Objective: Ventilate these fools, and buy enough time to get others on board. I-Defend the Station.


(OOC: Nothign personal. Ash isn't in the mood to play nice.)


All civlians had been evacuated. He had known about this little game early on. The minute Lysle and his gang started carving out planets for themselves, they'd lost a dose of anonymity in the shadows. He now had to learn how to do more than simple ambush. No, today he'd learn how to fight a real war.


Holo displays flickered as they board the ship. Ash's face shone through them cheerily. "Good evening, fething idiots," he began calmly. "I'm afraid that barab isn't zoned for your level of stupidity. In accordance with pest control policies, you will have to die. Have fun with that...."


He sighed as he began adjusting a few knobs. Turning the oxygen saturation levels down was a start. Let 'em breath thin air, that'll be fun. Hell, this station was his funhouse, now. And he'd play with kids who though they had what it took to run the show.

Beep.


He grinned. Another five minutes and his newest toy would come into it. But first, a little side-show. He laid back in the lounger as the glass encased him. The first wave of low-grade assault droids stormed down the hallways towards the brats. He smiled. Oh, what fun. It'd buy him a good thirty minutes.

Location: Boarding the station
Allies: Red Ravens / One Sith allies - [member="Logan White Devil Rê"], [member="Daxton Bane"], [member="Reverance"], [member="Xalus"]
Enemies: Black Suns - [member="Rayl Wilded"], [member="Mr. Ash"]
Objective: I - Take the station


Lysle was ready to set off with Logan when he got a convenient message over the intercom from none other than Mr. Ash, "Good evening, fething idiots," he began calmly. "I'm afraid that barab isn't zoned for your level of stupidity. In accordance with pest control policies, you will have to die. Have fun with that." Lysle stood and furrowed his brow, and then the ventilation shafts began to exude low levels of oxygen that were instantaneously exposed to the vacuum of space, with a large breach in the hull in the room they were in, it was depressurised. Thin oxygen was doing nothing for the squadron of Ravens wearing Extra-Vehicular Activity suits that allowed them to survive in the vacuum of space. Lysle burst into a mad cackle, and punched Logan quite viciously on the arm in jest, "And he called us fething idiots!" He motioned for them to get on their way, "What an imbecile." Due to the ventilations shafts thinning the air in the room, the source of oxygen from which the ventilation shafts led themselves would be exposed to the vacuum, and effectively, Mr. Ash had lowered the stations own supply of oxygen.

The thudding of steps alerted them, and immediately the DD-S1 security droids that had accompanied him were pouncing for cover. Their sub-machine guns burst out hellfire against the incoming Black Suns assault droids. It was providing them suppressing fire against their enemy, and the time and safety to continue on their mission. Lysle looked to Logan as they hurried for a door, and rather than trying to open it - as they well knew the blast doors would prevent it from opening due to their room being depressurised, he tossed a thermal against the metal of the door and it stuck. It began to flash red, and in a matter of seconds, the blast doors would be atomised by the thermal detonator, and another room would be depressurised and exposed to vacuum. "Logan, you would think we're fighting goons, not crime lords. Bah!" he waved his hand dramatically, always the one for theatrics.

 

[Keira Priest]

Location: Esfandia-Class Carrier Corvette
Allies: Red Ravens
Enemies: Black Suns
Objective: Drill down into the underground city, seize mining headquarters

With merely the flash of a grin and a shake of the head at his comment Keira stood, stretching for a moment to loosen her muscles for the up-and-coming fight. “Sure, and something about inner peace and all that, too. That’s exactly why I left the Jedi in the first place.” She gave him a playful nudge as he walked by, surveying the scene before her more so with the Force, the ethereal tendrils giving her more of an insight into things than anything.

[member="Cryax Bane"], [member="Anastasia Rade"] , [member="Nei Laa"] and [member="Ice"] seemed mostly relaxed about things, at least from what she could sense. [member="Raven Avachei"], however, was a bit more anxious about how things would progress. Normally she would have inquired as to what was bothering her and if she would be able to help, but Ice seemed to have things under wraps.

Casting a glance out of the nearby window a small smile turned up the corners of her mouth. Even if their mission wasn’t successful, they were at least causing some damage that wouldn’t be forgotten easily, if at all. But hopefully the ensuing wreckage on the surface would distract the Suns long enough for them to at least come close to breaching the city, if not at least allowing them time to come close to landing. This definitely wasn’t a planned aerial battle.

The plan, as far as she knew, was to first and foremost not get killed, and secondly, for them to seize the mining headquarters and the main office. They weren’t expecting any friendlies by any means, nor would she be surprised if they had more than a few Force users on their side. But there was no use in conjuring up things that might not even be true. Now they waited to make the final descent and enter the underground city. They had faced decidedly little resistance thus far, which could only mean that their enemies had something else in mind. That never boded well.

At Cryax's question she shook her head. "No questions from me. Let's get this show on the road."

 

[Cryax Bane]

Location: Esfandia-Class Carrier Corvette
Allies: Red Ravens
Enemies: Black Suns
Objective: Drill into the underground city, seize mining headquarters

As the mining lasers continued to bore into Balab I's surface behind him, Cryax smiled at Keira's comment. She had saved his bacon from bounty hunters back on Antecedent and he was glad to have her on board for this mission.

The young Chiss then looked over at Tahl Edrel and jovially patted the Whiphid's R4 unit on the head.

"R4 has not only been briefed, but the mission has been downloaded to his memory banks. Slice into the security systems of the mining headquarters, jam commlinks, and kark with their radars to spoof locations of offensive targets. And don't worry, Tahl, I won't let anything happen to that R4." He smiled at the droid.

Cryax then turned to the rest of the team, "We will descend in different groups so that we can perform a flanking maneuver, [member="Anastasia Rade"] and [member="Keira Ticon"] will be coming with me. If the rest of you don't have a squad at your command, partner up. I don't want anyone going down there lone wolfing it. We also have Sith allies descending separately to aid us in this takeover. So don't panic when you see Sith ships." He cast a worried glance over to Anastasia knowing full-well her feelings on the Sith.

The Chiss hoped he was dotting all the i's and crossing the t's. While well-known as an administrative leader of the Ravens back at their casino, this was the first offensive mission the slicer had ever undertaken in a leadership role. He'd be damned if he karked it up. He wrapped his arms around Anastasia and gave her a quick squeeze. He knew was in good hands with the Mandalorian witch by his side.

Cryax was surprised that no one from the Black Suns side had found their coordinates as of yet. It meant that the Suns were battening down the hatches planetside. He knew his team planned to punish the Suns with all they had, but this was no mere skirmish. He had a feeling he was about to lead his Ravens and their allies into an epic battle of historical proportions, and he hoped that fate would declare the Red Ravens the victors.

[Lena Abren-Rendix]

Location: Boarding the Station
Allies: Red Ravens
Enemies: Black Suns
Objective: I

Lena was near Lysle with her weapons ready. She knew that some vod might show up on the enemy side due to the Mandalorian alliance with the Black Suns, so despite orders, if she encountered vod, she wont kill them, hell she probably wont disable them just get them out of the way. On the way to Lysle, she encountered a couple Black Sun droids, but nothing she couldn't handle. She had finally arrived behind Lysle.

"So what's the plan, boss?" She asked Lysle.

 

[Barik Rahl]

Location: The main Objective III ship
Allies: Red Ravens
Enemies: Black sun
Objective: Wait for Colap, and the mine raid

Barik watched through the viewports as smaller landing ships and mining vessels headed towards the underground city and space station. Why were those meant to got ot eh mines not headed down yet? The longer he had to wait, the longer he had to be in a shipwreck waiting to happen. He growled low in his throat, quickly looking away from the viewport. There were a few people on this ship, a blonde, and a few (npc) soldiers sitting and waiting. His grip on the huge knife he held in his right hand tightened, turning his knuckles white. He signed up to be transported to a mine, not sit in a ship until it's shot down. Where was [member="Colap Ticon"]? His cousins was meant to be leading this mine raid... And he hadn't heard anything from him since they got here. Barik turned to the nearest person in the ship, [member="Alaina Moxla"]. "When are we getting to the mines?!" He sounded angrier then he meant to- but he didn't particularly care. The first thing on his list was to get on land.

 

[Ice]

Ice simply gave Raven a quick nod before letting her go back to her chanting. Whatever works for her, he thought to himself. Ice never understood fear of space...or many other fears for that matter. There just wasn't much that seemed to phase him. Still he hoped she'd be fine when they got planet side. It was then Cryax laid out the simple plan and asked for questions.

Ice raised his hand and spoke up after getting a quick head count. "Yup. I do. Would you mind if I tagged along with you group? Then you would have two pairs of people in case there was a need to split up. Not only that, but it would split the group a bit more evenly." Truth was, he had more reasons.

He didn't want to fight with Sith being one of them. He had no problem with them existing...per se, and certainly had no problem selling them equipment. But that didn't mean he wanted to rely on one to cover his back. He also noted the only other Mandalorian in the group was going with Cryax. And although the constant kissing admittedly would get old real fast, he thought and almost smirked. He'd really want his god there helping to cover his back while he looked after them in return. Besides, he also knew Cryax a little from before and simply preferred working with those he knew.

"Also, judging by the eery fact that we have yet to be attacked. I suspect they'll be waiting for us to bottleneck. We should think about drilling multiple holes to force the enemy to thin out their defenses. It will take a bit longer. But that is of no real concern if they are going to let us drill in peace."

"Then, once we have multiple holes to choose from, we take my fighters and ship, drop a few bombs down the hole we plan to attack to wipe out initial defenses as well as give our people a smoke screen for the drop. Then we move in and do what we do best. Thoughts?"

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

Location: Sith Cruiser
Allies: One Sith, Black Suns
Enemies: Red Ravens, Wayward Sith

The red ravens were showing teeth, or talons whatever. After their first incident of coming and disrupting the Suns operations.... They had made her mad. Domino was the vigo and had revealed she controlled a powerful sith tome, Balaya wanted that tome and now that Domino had disappeared they had cost her something more valuable then mere credits. At least her membership with the Black Suns to help them out was still valid and as she felt Kaine she knew he was a better choice to help. The others who went against them were going to be in for a surprise as she stood there with her apprentice and weapons laid out.

She was going to a warzone, that meant bring the power and in the holsters she slid her two pistols the Holdout Hand Cannon for decimating armored targets and the AT-HBP1 "Brotherguard" Heavy Blaster Pistol for just range and the blade in melee combat. Her small smile was more wicked thinking about it while sliding into the gunbelt harness leaving room on her hips for her sabers and the Heretic's End and "Manticore" SienarTech Grenade/Missile Launcher at the small of her back. Her Warden Cloak going around her shoulders and covering her Lady Praeliors Armor. The Hydrastaff slithering along her arm.

The only other things she needed while putting her mane of hair into the hood and holding it back with the hair pins was a weapon to use and have for the moment as she settled on carrying a Vengeance Mk. I Assault Rifle and revving the chainsaw while the graug weapons had her thinking about Krag for a moment. There were rumors he was still around but she wasn't to sure and mow moving through the ship she looked on speaking and finished preparing while there was no need to hide her force presence. "[member="Darth Vornskr"], I have arrived." The enjoyment in her voice was there while thinking of what she might find as the massive zeltron let her grin show from the shadows of her hood.
