Together with Mand'Alor the Chosen, Rud breaches the chamber where the government is at that very moment holding session. Here they will kill any and all Imperial representatives of the new Emperor and force the government to capitulate to Mandalorian rule.
Attackers: @Rud Solus (@Ecclessey) & @Raz Solus (@Sreeya)
Defenders: @Ilyra Visz (@Nefieslab) & @Zarya (@christhebarker)
A lightly elevated circle of sixteen bolted chairs was lighted by a glass ceiling from where the proud ruling body of Corellia could admire its own shipyards. They hadn't been threatened in centuries and the Empire, recognizing its worth, even turned it into a fortress world. Corellia was a proud member of the Imperial Core Group. They had no doubt their world was secure, for no one, not even the Mandalorians, were crazy enough to risk getting bombed to kriff like those foolish rebels were on Hoth. No matter what they did on Coruscant. Corellia would survive a mere terrorist thread just like Coruscant had. In fact, the council was sure it would only grow stronger...
"Ambassador Vane-" the Imperial ambassador stood in the middle of the circle as all members of the ruling council looked down upon him with greedy eyes of hopeful imperial favor. "-you will be pleased to know that we have another frigate ready to be delivered into the custody of the Imperial Fleet. We've named it-"
Meanwhile not far away in a small commercial freighter approaching a nearby dock, Rud once again checked his gear and while he knew that his rifle and pistol were loaded and the two extra magazines per weapon were secured on his person, what worried him more than he wanted to admit to Raz (@Sreeya) was that although his new cybernetics lower legs were less heavy than earlier versions, he still felt handicapped whenever he entered a ground skirmish. Just when he finished his check and put the rifle against his shoulder the white lights in the small cargo bay they were standing in died and were replaced by bright flashing red lights. "Showtime-" he said over the commlink he shared with the Mand'Alor as the ramp lowered. "-follow me."
Rud jumped from the freighter and activated his jetpack for a short twenty second flight before he was right on top of the government building. Below he could see the council in session, his scout HUD confirmed that all eyes were on the Imperial ambassador and his were on the one councilor that was speaking. If there were guards or Sith present they'd be in the adjoining room, separated from the discussion by durasteel doors.
Just when the new frigate's name was revealed, the glass ceiling was shattered by a blaster bolt from Rud's rifle and a mere second later he landed next to the ambassador. "Hello-" he pulled the trigger of his rifle again and the ambassador dropped dead with a blaster bolt in his heart, "-there."
Most councilors, both male and female, uttered high-pitched cries of terror as they jumped up to hide behind their chairs. With sixteen bolted chairs completing a full circle there was small cover from blasters and line of sight, but those chairs were also the only cover in the room and aside from the glass ceiling the durasteel doors that separated the councilors from potential guards was the only way in or out.
While their aim was to convince the councilors to capitulate to Mandalorian rule, Rud chose to focus on the durasteel doors next. His rifle aimed at the sliding door he walked slowly to his left to put one of the chairs between his body and the direction of potential hostiles.
While I wrote that Rud could see all councilors through the glass ceiling, the image above does not seem to support such a line of view. That's merely because I found it to be visually distracting to enlarge the blue circle to the point where they cut the squares (bolted chairs) in half. Blame paint.
