SPACE STATION ARCHIMEDES. ORBITING VANDYNE
0400 Hours

Alpha team has secured a landing dock on the main floor, but they are taking heavy fire. As the Death Watch squad hurries to take the hanger, the pirates pull out gas grenades to catch the Mandalorians off guard. Push back the pirates while fighting in a low-visual battlefield. Be careful not to breathe in too many fumes.

In orbit above the system of Vandyne, an Old Empire spacestation has gone dark. There were no distress signals, so it has likely lost power. This station could prove useful in gathering data for the Mandalorian faction against the Sith forces. Members of Death Watch, under the assisted command of Corrine Solus, are on their way to investigate the downed station and secure it for the glory of Mandalore. Alpha team has already infiltrated the base and now it is up to Brave team to back them up.

As the second Death Watch team was nearly out of light speed, a message from the Alpha team leader would come to them. Briana Saxon was leading the second squad who was on their way to assist the other Death Watch members. She was not alone, for she had a good dozen of men with her in the back of the ship they'd taken. Their ship was to dock in the space station's main dock and rendezvous with Alpha team. This was the plan back when they departed from The Shadow Enclave on Umbara.

A hologram emitter would rise up out of the navigational computer's dashboard. There, a red head in Death Watch armor was seen holding up her own transmitter; she was like a tiny blue action figure in the hologram. Her armor which consisted of several pieces of advanced tech and given her the appearnce of someone you didn't want to pick a fight with. Her left wrist was equipped with a flamethrower; her right wrist a missile launcher. Both had limited uses, but she was itching to use them in a fight. Her boots were also upgraded to allow a jump feature which helped with aerial maneuvers.

As far as weapons went, Corrine's choices were pretty basic. She loved her two "strill" blaster pistols the most and would likely never trade them in. On her back she carried a Westar C-1 blaster carbine and was likely the best sniper Death Watch had to offer. That was of course, her opinion and not at all ever based on actual proof. While she never took to fighting with hand to hand combat, she'd recently started carrying a vibroblade dagger just in case someone got past her guns. Not likely. And even if they got past her Westar, that's why she also brought along a new addition of a SGB-1 scatter blaster that was sure to shred anyone who got close.

"Bravo team." the hologram would ask. "What's your ETA? We're taking heavy fire down here and need assistance ASAP!"

 

[Brianna Saxon]

Brianna had only recently made the addition of her Death Watch marks on her helm. This was only the third operation she was given command of, but she no longer felt the stress that once accompanied her in the past. Being a leader wasn't that different from being a solider, you just told other people what to do instead of doing it yourself; well, more or less that's how it worked. For this mission, she had brought her trusty repeater, dual blaster pistols, and a set of grenades. They weren't here to ding dong ditch this place either. Getting up from her place in the passenger section of the shuttle, she moved to the cockpit as she heard the indications that they were coming out of lightspeed. She gave the signal to prepare to switch to sublight, just as they were coming out of the familiar blue tunnel of lightspeed. As they began their approach to the space station, they got the message from Corrine. Brianna held her helmet under her arm, as the clan Solus woman appeared before her. Hearing the gravity of the situation, Brianna motioned to the pilot, as additional power was put to the engines, they were going to come in hot.
"We'll be there in the next thirty seconds, we're burning space out here. Just hang in there." She said, sliding on her helmet as the station began to grow closer from the front view screen. "Begin the landing procedure," She told her pilots, before looking back at the holoprojection. "We're coming in hot, better pucker up." She commented, before moving back into the passenger hold. Scooping up her repeater, she put her hand on the side of the bulkhead and braced herself as she began to speak, moving towards the back of the shuttle where the ramp would be. "Alright boys and girls, you got a one way ticket to party city, so put on your best. Our brothers and sisters were nice enough to leave some pirates around just for us." The shuttle shook as they entered into the hanger bay, catching some blaster fire as it began to settle down with it's landing struts. "So don't disappoint them, get out there and kick some ass! For Mandalore!" She shouted, as the loud 'hiss' of the ramp fill the ship, as her squad began to charge down the ramp behind her, joining into the fray between Mandalorians and Pirates.

[Radth Kelborn]

Armed with his usual gear and wearing his armor. The Death Watch member hoped that today he will nkt screw up. Every now and then during a mission Radth will do something that puts the mission at risk. Either he will let his excitement for battle get the better of him or let aggression take hold. The Kelborn didn't really act like one sometimes. He should be acting like a Kelborn, a seasoned soldier that will strike fear into his enemies. Not a energetic, trigger happy teenager.

Today he will be a full Kelborn. He will keep his head in check, and keep his emotions under control. Today of all days he will not become a disappointment to his team or an embarrassment to his A'lor.

Gripping his Westar Rifle Carbine, the warrior slammed a clip into place. Then proceeded to make sure the rest of his gear is ready to go. As he prepared for the mission, Radth listened to Brianna, the one who is leading this operation. When the ship shook, signalling that they have entered the hanger bay. Usually he will be beaming with excitement like some of the others in the ship as they cheered. But not Radth. He is keeping his excitement from getting the better of him. But the Kelborn will yell, "For Mandalore!" As he charged down the ramp with his rifle raised.

[Corrine Solus]

"Sounds shiny!" the Mandalorian daughter responded before cutting the connection to her communication. Turning now to the men behind her, Corrine would shout "Heads up! Backup's 'a comin'! Move out the way, boys!"

Corrine ran from her cover near the hangar entrance where the Mandalorian spacecraft would soon be barreling through. The redhead found another crate to hide behind and did a quick check of her remaining ammo. She looked out into the void of space and saw the craft coming into view. With a smirk on her face and a new found confidence, she peered out from the crate towards the enemies and began opening fire once more. Her Westar like a well aimed sniper and she took down pirate after pirate. Unlike her comrades who were firing with repeaters and doing more threatening and warning shots trying to hit their marks, Corrine never pulled her trigger unless she was sure to hit the man.

Behind her, she heard the roar of the engines drown out the blaster fire. The pirates stood up, trying to shoot down the ship before it could land and depart the troops from within. Now Corrine was going wild. She herself moved to a better crouching position and began to fire much faster. She didn't need kill shots for every body. Just a good hit to the torso. Head shots were worth more in the little game the troops like to play with one another, but now wasn't the time.

The ship and her guns were able to be enough of a distraction to allow Bravo team to get clear of the ship and now the pirates were making a run for it. Her men began to cheer and run after them, but Corrine held up her arm and shouted for them to stop. A few of them continued to give chase. The fools. Hopefully they didn't get themselves killed.

"Death Watch! Hold!" She didn't want her men rushing into the place with no knowledge of what was going to happen. "To me!" she called.

Corrine watched as the large durasteel doors cranked shut cutting them off from the pirates who fled further into the compound. Like rats, they would be found. She turned her attention to her gun and began to reload the clip while she waited for both Alpha and Bravo team to join her.

"You made it, well done Bravo team. Go and secure the room, gather the wounded. Alpha team, take five, then bring me their weapons"

[Brianna Saxon]

Brianna gunned down a pair of pirates that were retreating, as she motioned for her squad to secure the entrance to prevent another counter attack. Moving to the Solus clan member, Bri halted before Corrine. "Well, we're here. When can we start the fun?" Brianna grinned, looking around for more targets to go after. Hearing what Corrine wanted, Bri motioned for @Radth Kelborn. "Radth, come on, you're with me and my squad. We're securing this area and gearing up to press on." She called, as she moved to the door and got the rest of Bravo Squad together. "Alright everyone, we are going to hold this position. You two," She pointed to a pair of rifle men. "Go set up point, and you go with them," She added motioning to a Mandalorian holding a repeater. "The rest of you gather up the wounded and get them on the shuttle. Radth, go help out the point guards. Once we have the wounded secure, we'll start to press onwards." Brianna, having finished her orders, moved to assist in collecting the wounded Mandalorians, trusting her four point guards would stop anyone trying to rush their new position.

[Radth Kelborn]

Radth looked to Brianna as the woman spoke to him. Well, at least he will be of some use instead of standing around like a statue waiting for when it is time to press on.

The man nodded silently in response to her order. Moving over to his post the Kelborn. Well, the standing guard still meant that he is stuck standing in place until the wounded are taken care of. The warrior will still do his job though despite how boring it will be. The man watched their surroundings very closely, taking the time to look around for anything that is not right. Naturally, his rifle was pointed in the direction he is looking as the man moved.

Luckily for them, though boring to Radth, no enemy forces approached their location. Which was both odd and boring. If the opposition was so keen on pushing the Mandalorians out wouldn't they be relentlessly attacking? The warrior quietly hummed in thought as he accessed what is going on so far.

He looked to Brianna, "I suggest we get moving." He will say bluntly after he completed his silent thought.
