The Hand of Thrawn

*Thrawn bowed his head once more.*

Then I shall order her captain there as soon as possible. Until we meet again.

*Thrawn then did a full waste bow and turned on his heel. As he began to walk towards his Clawcraft, his two personal Noghri formed up silently behind him and followed him. They each got into their respected ships and headed for orbit.*

*Once again alone, Cass Retreats into his mossolium to meditate.*

*As the Yorik-Vec flew over the planets terrain, Kirsh spotted something unusual through the ships eyes. Since he was connected to it with the cognition hood, he could see what the ship saw. Out in the distance stood a structure that looked like an outstretched hand. It was a strange sight, unusual architecture for any species. Though Kirsh never claimed to be an expert on the architecture of various species throughout the galaxy.*

*He took the freighter sized vessel in, piloting it down through the clouds and towards the structure. The bio-engineered ship came to a halt as it set down on a landing pad on one of the towers roofs. The back hatch unsealed and the Intendant made his way out of the ship and onto the roof.*

Kirsh: "Something about this is familiar. I can't quite place what that is though. In time it should come to me. For now I shall explore."

*He uncoiled his Amphistaff and manipulated its length with his hands. The serpent hardened into a straight staff shape. Kirsh held it like a walking stick and tapped it once on the duracrete roof. He then began to make his way into the facility.*

*After gathering all the data he could find, Kirsh returned to his ship and departed for the cold void of space. The Yorik-Vec and Intendant were gone from the planet shortly after.*

*3 Namana-class light cruisers descend out of orbit. Silently, they cruise towards the hand of thrawn. Landing in a clearing a kilometer from the fortress, they unload there cargo of 450 commando troopers. The namanas then take off again, and fly toward the fortress. Flying forward in a delta formation, they unleash a volley from there turbo laser against the fortress...doing absolutely nothing. Under the cover of the cannon fire. The troops move forward...moving into the cave systems underneath the fortress...for some mysterious reason...the fortresses guards where oddly unalert...moving into what the troopers hoped where rough approximations, they placed frame charges at the thinnest points in the caves roof...silently then...they waited...*

OOC: This is cass's last chance. If he does not reply by this time tomorrow, I am assuming he has totally abandoned this planet. And will start RPing the full out invasion of said planet.

OOC: Resuming RP.

*With a signal, the roof is blasted, and the troops swarm into the facility. Quickly, fighting breaks out and as well as minor skirmishes. Surprisingly though, the entire base was stocked with only support personnel and only a few security guards...the base is taken effortlessly, with only a dozen or so soldiers being killed. Quickly, all of The hand of thrawn, as well as BlasTechs base of operations are taken over. The plans for BlasTechs weapons are also copied down, and sent into orbit, so that the fleet can store them for later use. The troops, taking over the command base, instantly form up into defensive positions within the base.*

:: CP secure sir. ::

*And with that, it was over.

Power had been shifted.*

*The bakura destroyers in orbit set down, and unload there troops. In total, the following force occupies the base in full force:

Commando: 500 Commandos (Katarn-class commando armor, ICWS Rifles, 1 glop, 1 frag, and 1 flash.)
Elite: 1,900 Mandalorian Elite Crusaders (NeoCrusader armor, Madalorian Assault rifles, 3 frag grenades)
Standard: 50,000 NeoCrusaders (NeoCrusader armor, E-11 Blaster rifles, 3 frag grenades)

The commandos and elites take up stations to the entry of every door way in the upper levels, specifically the cloning facilities, the command center, and the manufacturing center. The NeoCrusaders busy themselves by reinforcing the floors so that they can't be blown through like last time, as well as spitcreting the caves systemds directly under the base up. They had EXPLICIT orders not to cement the whole system up. But just the cave systems directly underneath the base.

In the meantime however, a freefall-class bomber lands, and Daedalus exits...quickly, he enters the base, and enters the command center...*

"I want a full report on our status...as quick as you can. Also, how soon till we can get those factories up and running? And I want my ship refueled!"

*The troops scramble to fufill the orders, and Daedalus sits back to think.......so much to do......*

*Life goes on as usual on Nirauan, with everyone settling in for what would become a boredom induced coma.....meanwhile, the scientists in the hand of thrawn started on making a gift to The Colonel, the man that financed them, and gave them a home.

Taking several metals, they began research on what would be the best type of blade, and what would best suit the Colonels style, based on numerous training videos.*

Mon May 10, 2010 2:11 pm by Arcturus Utan Sorrows

*Work continues on the new blade...the shape of a basket hilt rapier being selected, with a blade of phrik and Ostrine being inset into a hilt of aurodium...truly, when completed, it will be a marvelous thing. Currently however, problems arise on the ratio of phrik to Ostrine, in order to make the blade fully resistant to lightsabers while maintaining the Ostrines integrity.*

*Work continues on the sword, but, upon receiving a signal from the forces above, the Hand of thrawn is instantly put into lock down, with Hijarna stone bulkheads closing, and preparing for attack. The following soldiers take up strategic points within the base, and, in total, numbered the following:

Commando: 500 Commandos (Katarn-class commando armor, ICWS Rifles, 1 glop, 1 frag, and 1 flash.)
Elite: 1,900 Mandalorian Elite Crusaders (NeoCrusader armor, Madalorian Assault rifles, 3 frag grenades)
Standard: 50,000 NeoCrusaders (NeoCrusader armor, E-11 Blaster rifles, 3 frag grenades)*

Wed May 26, 2010 8:56 am by Arcturus Utan Sorrows

*The forces immediately begin packing up, and boarding transports off planet. After several hours, they evacuate, and leave in shuttles. Bound to dock with the fleet above.*

Sat May 29, 2010 7:57 pm by Rrowv Breen

*Tau Empire troops quickly occupy the abandoned fortress.*

Wed Sep 22, 2010 10:44 pm by Plu Or'dinii

*A full squadron of TIE Pterodactyls dropped through the clouds above the ancient fortress, and circled it several times, scanning the terrain on all sides for possible base camp and landing sites. Commander Por'waa Or'tahh distrusted the fortress itself as a landing destination until they'd had a chance to take a look around, and confirm that there were no hostile elements or wild beasts lurking side. After the third scan, a flat plateau about a tenth of a klick away was selected, and Infinite Squadron set down, a group of three fighters are each of the four compass points of the plateau. Nearby, a valley dropped away, and on the other side was the fortress just to the east. To the west, the plateau rose even higher in several mesas, carved from solid rock by millennia of wind-swept sand.**

=Cmdr. Por'waa Or'tahh=

*The Rakatan commander looked around cautiously, as he stretched his aching muscles, and watched his pilots pitching their camp.* :: This place looks just like the photos we filtched from the New Republic archives, boys. I don't know how many outsiders have been here since Luke and Mara made their visit, but we should be cautious despite our familiarity with the terrain. The locals may or may not see us as friends. ::

*a small patrol of 10 troopers in Besker armor and toting blasters, having spotted the ships land, comes over across the plateau saying*
[NPC]Trooper 556[/NPC]
"Greetings may we help? We were diverted here by His Majesty King Jinn to let any potential hostals know you have his permission to be here."

*Back in the offices of Dark Lady moffinkins, she sits at a desk and begins to type out her weekly report to Matar, Thankfully, this one was short and sweet.*

[NPC]Dark Lady Moffinkins.

Nirauan

Matar, everything is running smoothly, the forces are working well, they have manoeuvres down to a fine art, they are patrolling regularly, I think their presence is a deterance as Local crime has dropped considerably.

For information purposes, I will be returning to bastion very soon, I seek an audience with you immediately.

Regards,

[Along the rocky plateaus, near the Hand of Thrawn]

*Accelerating toward the ancient Chiss Admiral's fortress, Andre Walker and his team circled the structure twice from a distance, taking pictures of its current condition and forwarding them to Captain Vevut in orbit. Out of respect for King Benjamin's wishes, they did not enter the fortress. They would wait until after the sparring match and whatever words the King wished to have directly with their Aliit'alor. Instead, they proceeded to a flat table-top plateau near the Hand of Thrawn, and began setting up a small encampment.*

=Ambassador Walker=

*When informed by Captain Vevut that Plu Or'dinii had arrived and was on his way to the surface, Dre immediately fetched his comlink and placed a call to King Benjamin. Moments later, the Lambda-class shuttle landed alongside Walker's encampment, and Plu himself came to meet Walker.* "Aliit'alor, sir." *He said, saluting.*

"Well done, Ambassador. Does the King know I've arrived?" *Plu asked, shaking the Ambassador's hand.*

=Ambassador Walker=

"Yes, sir. I've just let him know." *The man motioned to his comlink.*

"Good." *The old Mando warrior reached up and loosed his chinstrap, then hauled his helmet off and placed it on a camp table, revealing one of the galaxy's ugliest faces.* "I'm sure he saw my shuttle, but information always outweighs rumor." *Drawing his sword, around which heavy padding had been wrapped, Plu tested it yet again, swinging it several times, and feeling all the edges. Satisfied that it was a worthy tool but would inflict no permanent harm, he sheathed it once more, and nodded to Walker.* "Now we wait. I'm sure the King is a busy man."
