The Strategy

[Be'iqaronn]

Renn would be in the planning room quietly making up a strategy. He wondered who his fellow commanders would be. Looking over his fleet he would quietly ponder how they could be used. Maybe he could cut off all hyperspace jumps, maybe not, he wasn't there to destroy, only to distract. So he thought long and hard.

[SIZE=10pt]Bounty hunters, were a thing that Tacer had heard much about. Hell, he was one for ten years of his life. Somehow he always imagined he would stay in that profession, killing or capturing for credits. Sometimes the bounty wasn’t even for a person, sometimes it was just mercenary work. Protecting a location, escorting a person, or locating an item. That was what was so fun about the bounty hunting life, you never knew what you’d do on a job, you just knew you were getting paid to do it. Hell, one time Tacer was hired to be a model for a painter, it was something about capturing the grittiness of the galaxy. You see, that’s why Tacer choose the life of a bounty hunter, not an assassin. Assassins had contracts, bounty hunters had bounties. Contracts were for people, bounties were for anything.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Tacer walked into the room, taking in its interior. It was dark and ambient. It had a round holographic table in the middle of the room. Next to it stood a bounty hunter. Tacer had been ordered to be here by his leading commander, Avery Regailis. The man that stood next to the table was Renn Garrick, a recent and possibly temporary addition to the Protectorate.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Tacer approached the man, extending his hand, “Captain Tacer of the second arrival squadron, at your service. I was told to met Renn Garrick here to discuss plans for the invasion of Core Imperial Confederation space.”[/SIZE]

Renn's head would shoot up, he figured out the strategy. He needs the head of the beast cut off, so that's what he'll do, destroy their capital ship.

Looking over at [member="William Tacer"], he would take his hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm currently thinking of a way to destroy them. My plan involves me drawing the fleet away and you ambushing them, do not be behind the ship. Few ships have rear thrusters and I don't want to damage any of your ships during my attack. I will change the gravity so there will be no hyperdrive jumps away. I will attract them with my battleship and artillery. When they follow I want you to jump from hyperspace on the flank of the capital ships. Do not send any my way, focus all your fire on the head of the beast. I will then push forward with my Conner Nets and disable ships, my artillery will destroy them, I will not assist with the capital ships, I will be attacking all other ships who try to get close. Focus your fire on one ship at a time, if I do finish my job I will start launching Conner Nets at them. I will have bombing squadrons in there attacking the ships you are not, try and get the attention of the ships off of them. While yes focusing fire on one ship may be what I want you to do, the bombers can do more damage if they aren't being shot at. I know you're going to ask this, and yes it is for the paycheck at the end."

[SIZE=10pt]It was a lot to take in. the plan was well thought out and barely had any pot holes. This one knew his stuff and wasn’t afraid of showing he was proud of it. It reminded Tacer of the soldiers he served with, just on a much higher and more pronounced level, compared to his company fighters.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Tacer placed hand on his chin, deep in thought. [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Focus your fire on the of the beast, Destroy any ships that come near. [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Those were the important parts, the ones that Tacer would have to keep on his mind, constantly, throughout the mission. In truth, Tacer was amazed how quickly the bounty hunter created the strategy, especially one so well thought out.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Tacer toke a seat on a nearby chair, still pondering the plan that Renn had presented to him,”I see. How many pilots do we need ready? Something like this requires a lot of capable fighters but as of now we are a little short on that. Of course we could always hire mercenaries to do the job, whatcha think?” [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]It was true, they were short on men right now due to seizing of Recee and Selvaris. He wondered what Renn solution for this was.[/SIZE]

“We will need as many men as we can get. I need a couple squadrons and enough for an armed crew and with a disabler class battleship.” Renn would be confident in his plan, he wasn’t there to destroy them he was there to distract, this would be a bloodbath.

[SIZE=9pt]Tacer nodded, He understood. Now came the hiring and payment of people for the job. This plan of Renn’s would work. They just needed to take care of setting it up. It wouldn’t take long, and now with the invasion approaching them quicker everyday, they definitely won't hesitate to get it done. Tacer had an idea of what they might need to accomplish. He especially knew his role in setting the plan into motion, but not Renn’s.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]“Very well, I shall get on that. It shouldn’t take long, given my connections, but what will you do in the following weeks?” Tacer stated, as he rose from the chair he had been planted in. he cracked his knuckles, then his neck, his age creeping up his spine as he did.[/SIZE]

“Me? I will be teaching a battalion how to fly a ship.” Renn knew this might confuse him, for he didn’t give away all of his plan. “I need about 250 men, could you gather some of the best. I will deal with the ships and talk to the highest in command about what they will do, now I have much to do with them please hurry. Bring them to the courtyard, I will meet you there in about 20 minutes.” It might’ve sounded odd to teach men who fight how to fly, but in due time all would be explained. Renn walked out and knocked on the door of [member="Nova Storyteller"].
