Orders
Dubrava
Dubrava is a small astrological object East of Syndicate space, a mediocre unaligned pirate band calls this thing home, assist the Pyke fleet in decimating them, and take the rock for ourselves.(Self DM 2-4 participants)
1: @Rafe
2: @Grace Zann
3: @Tyr'din Selm
4: @Julius Arvo


Rafe sat at the helm of the Z-27 Syndicate-Class Corvette, one of the newer additions to the Pyke Syndicate fleet, below them loomed Dubrava, homeworld of the green people, and host to a planet full of swamps. Rafe had seen holovids, the main structures of the world were still fabricated with tree based wood, and the population primarily traveled around by way of water based vehicles. Rafe wasn't sure what all this planet had to offer the Syndicates, but knew in short time, it would be theirs..

Down on the surface a band of pirates called themselves lords over this small planet, though the Intel they had suggested their fleet was composed of mostly freighters and starfighters, Rafe didn't want to take those sort of chances, Bring the turbolasers online, prep for assault.. Rafe ordered from his throne, since taking full control of the Pyke Syndicate Rafe had learned a lot, but still had plenty of work left to do to bring the Syndicate back up to where it used to be.

The opposing fleet would be small in size but large in number, Rafe checked around, his fleet commanded larger ships, but less numbers, in either case their response time would make all the difference, once they hit low orbit Rafe could just barely make out the city below..

Rafe picked up his comms, If we hit them fast they might not have a chance to get off the ground.. a rag tag gang of pirates wouldn't stand a chance.. Rafe thought, knowing full well his fleet also contained multiple freighters..

Grace Zann was thrilled when she heard about Rafe's plan to expand the borders of syndicate territory. So much so, the Zann Consortium decided to back him up on the conquest. A Crusader-Class Corvette would exit hyperspace, not too far from the Syndicate-Class Corvette, a design she had commissioned herself. Along with her pilots, the woman had also brought a force of vanguard mercenaries to assist in the fighting once they hit the ground. If they were lucky, they could hopefully immobilize the enemy force before they could take to the skies.

the woman would sit the captain's chair of the corvette's bridge. She would speak over comms, "Grace Zann reporting. This ship is primarily an anti-starfighter vessel. We'll keep the heat off you Pykes." The woman brought no others in the way of ships, figuring that the Pykes had most of the bases covered. There was no need to bring a battlecruiser out to a fight like this one.

"We'll follow your lead Rafe. This operation was your idea after all." She would then flips several switches which began powering up the various laser turrets of the ship. Hopefully, these pirates wouldn't be too much trouble. Why couldn't they have simply fallen in line like the other members of the syndicates?

Mae had arrived in style, for once. She did not bring the Wolf to this fight as it was made primarily for surprise attacks. Its heavy armament is a straight broadside attack and not nearly accurate enough for smaller craft such as freighters or starfighters that were not prone in the targeting location. No, today, she brought the Trinity Pirates flagship, a space black painted Raider-class Corvette, with a large golden skull and cross bones painted on its deck. She was not aware of what type of craft that they were up against, so she also brought all five of her Outer Rim Gun Boat MK III's as support vessels against any starfighters, missiles, or torpedo's that the enemy pirates would have brought to the fight. The gun boats 4 quad point defense lasers turrets made quick work of such craft. However, they all stayed in close proximity to Mae's corvette as they were no match for any capital ships that may be brought into action.

She heard Grace Zann report in shortly after she arrived and decided she should do the same. "Trinity Pirates, also reporting in." She relayed to the others.

"Bigger Boat than im used to but it'll serve."

Tyr'din had been among those that Grace brought along, he was currently running operational over the guns of the Corvette making certain that those that directed them were doing their job correctly, unlike Grace he was constantly moving from Station to Station, his attention diverting from one place to the other tweaking meticulously as they closed in on what Rafe had called them in for.

Tyr'din was a firm believer that a Ship cared for properly is more valueable than a entire fleet, and if the Crew is in sync it can achieve most tasks better than a Army can, he patched himself through to their joint communications where he made a crucial decision.

"Alright, im patching myself into the Weapons Systems now, ill be your trigger tonight, give me some Targets people."

Just as he said this, he flipped two switches on the console he just sat down infront of, two sticks placed into his palms each as he wrapped his hands around them settling in just a bit more comfortable, it was different from pulling the trigger of a Blaster but aiming was still the same only on a screen rather than with your eyes. Systems were coming online and it was save to say... the Consortium was hot and ready to go.

"Weapons Systems nominal, we are hot. I need Orders, Grace."

He crackled over the Comms, as he said this the entire collective Crew awaited the go-ahead, once green light was given, Hell would be dispensed... and not too little either.

Once more it was the Consortium called to battle by the their familiar ally, the Pykes, not that Tyr'din disliked Rafe, it was far from it, he just wondered what it was this time that the burly furry friend of theirs was up to this time, he dismissed the thought about it, he was just here to press buttons, turning people into ash and then go home. In that order.

Kill them... Rafe ordered, to the bridge of his ship and over the comms, his voice cold but stern, the wolf sat on his throne and would watch the destruction unleash, he could see the screens from his position just as the whirring of the turbolasers kicked on, in quick succession each other ship also opened fire, the orbital bombardment almost wasn't fair, explosion after explosion littered the area as the far off lasers found something below to connect with.

Sir!... the Pyke working the scanners yelled, when Rafe looked over to him his exposed face was both surprised and confused Rafe could see the screen in front of him, dozens of tiny dots were beeping in and out from nearly every direction.. then... Rafe spotted what was causing the surprise on the Pyke's face, a larger dot slowly beeping up toward the top of the screen..

Rafe stood from his captain's chair and approached the transparisteel window. In the distance, just passing the pole of the planet, an Adz-class Corvette popped into view, they must of had it parked, spitting out of its sides six additional much smaller ships began traveling much faster at the Syndicate fleet. We got company.. Rafe said over the comms, he hadn't expected such a small group of freelance pirates to have a Corvette in their midst, even one as old as that one seemed above their pay grade. The arrival of the Corvette was almost timed perfectly as the scattered fleet from below began to gain altitude towards them, though comprised only of starfighters and freighters it added to the allure of battle this Corvette would bring.

Grace would begin getting reports over comms about the ships weapon systems. Tyr'din was one of the main gunners, and had personally inspected that part of the ship. They were ready for combat, and the corvette was more than capable of it. As Rafe gave the order to kill their foes, Grace would repeat to her crew. "You heard em' boys, fire all laser cannons."

The various consortium pilots would begin taking aim at the ships on the ground. Heavy laser fire would pelt the ground for a few moments, just before something would come up on the scanners. It seemed they had approaching enemy ships, and a lot of them at that. Starfighters, and what seemed to be a shuttle. they all originated from a new corvette that showed up on the battle field.

"Scratch that last order. Focus all firepower on those approaching fighters. Keep them off the Pyke's ship." The crew would then divert their weaponry toward the approaching star fighters. Most of them looked to be simple headhunter fighters. A large number of light laser turrets would rapidly begin tearing through the approaching fighters. The ship's heavy laser cannons would fire a few blasts toward the enemy corvette, but damage seemed minimal due to their shields.

"Temporarily divert power from engines to our laser cannons. We need to fire as quickly as possible."

Jules had been on the planet surface for almost two weeks he had brought three Crimson Dawn Vanguards, fifty of his own Enforcer as well as fifty slicers. They had killed several pirates over the course of the last two weeks to keep their presence secret. His slicers everyone of them was an expert at hacking these types of systems.

They had already slaved the space ports electrical, mechanical and communications systems . Every remote node where control had even a slim chance of regaining control was now covered by his Enforcers. The most amazing thing that they had found was a ground bases turbo Ion cannon capable of repelling even capital ships.

The turbo cannon was his responsibility his two best Enforcers as well as the three Crimson Dawn Vanguards had this assignment. This machine was shielded from bombardment and had its own power supply off the grid. At the beginning of Rafe's bombardment all of his people went into action. At the space port all rhe hanger doors inside and out were closed. Every blast door was closed they were all then taken off line and the power to the complex was shut down. Just to make double sure the lines were also cut meaning it would take five or six beings to open each massive door.

His Enforcers had excellent hides with secondary and tertiary fallbacks. They could keep the ships on the ground long enough for the landing forces to arrive safely.

There was a minimal security detail guarding the Ion Turbo cannon which Jules and the Crimson Dawn Vanguards had quickly overrun. His two Enforcers were shutting down the cannon simply by removing targeting boards as well as disconnecting power couplers then damaging those so they could not be reconnected. When one of the Crimson Dawn Vanguards called out, "we have incoming!"

"Alright ladies, Lets give em a show, Harney give that hunter over on your left a good broadside."

<"Will do, Albino.">

"Right, Jorlei I want your pretty little eyes on the surface, leave the shooting to us, Grace will need updates and so does the big bad Wolf so don't screw it up."


Just as the first Salvo of their Corvette was fired, Tyr'din went into autopilot, he relayed info left and right like a well oiled machine, the Crew was built through grease and alot of spit, rubbing palms, knowing people was the bread and butter of this ship and he made sure it was greased well.

Pulling his hands forwards he let his Targeting Computer do most of the work only hand tweaking specific things as he went to work, initially his first salvo's went wide but the more he fired the more precise he got until he was fully dialed in but the restriction of the Weapons Systems were limiting his deadly output, he jumped from his Seat.

"Keep them busy, ill go see if I can't get this baby to purr a little more. Whatever you do don't draw Fire to our engines."

He said this as he was already halfway off the Bridge, he turned into a jog yanking a Toolbox out of another Cadet's hands as he passed them, he would be needing that. With the Corvette on Battle Stations hectic words were only exchanged between the most necessary.

"Grace buy me time."

He crackled over the Comms as he descended further into the Corvette's innards, if she wanted more juice... she would get it, even if it meant he had to lay personal hands on.

<"We've got incoming, larboard they are planning for a surface assault, guess we got their attention.">

Mae saw the incoming ships and had very little time to react. She communicated to her deck commander and to the 5 captains of the gunboats to make adjustments. Almost in unison, the 6 ships maneuvered over to the command ship where Rafe was. Once in position below Rafe's ship, Mae ordered her corvette to open fire on the incoming corvette and to ignore the smaller ships for now. The deck turbo lasers and ion cannons began to fire volley after volley at the approaching corvette. The turbo lasers having minimal effect due to its shields still being up and strong, but the ion cannons were putting dents in that shields for sure. Mae looked over her shoulders at the fire control officer. "Switch Turbo lasers targets to those smaller craft until we can bring down the shields of that bigger ship and keep our ion cannons on her until that happens" She ordered. They may be able to take some of the smaller craft out while they took down the shields of the corvette this way.

She then went over to her fleet command consul, the one that was for her six ships. She had two gunships, one on each side of her corvette, and the other three were out of position. "Gunship Beta, Delta and Foxtrot, you are all out of position. Bring yourselves to bearings 356 mark's 18, 33, and 39." She commanded. The gunships were slow to respond, but then moved into correct position above, and to the left and right of Rafe's command ship to provide excellent anti-fighter and freighter support to the two capitol ships.

Once all ships were in appropriate positions and firing on their correct targets, Mae sat in her command chair and radioed down to her crew space. "Be ready for boarding or landing, we may be in for a firefight, gentlemen" She relayed.

As Rafe sat at the helm of his Z-27 Syndicate-Class Corvette it seemed the entire Syndicate force was working as a well oiled machine, the missile tubes of his ship were working overtime, there were only four of them, but with forty missiles each they packed a punch, and continued to fire nearly non-stop at the smaller ships approaching from the planet's surface alongside the six retractable turrets that continued to fire independently. Similarly two of the ships turbolasers were still focused on the planet's surface, battering the life out of any unfortunate ship or building down there that found itself unlucky enough to be on the business end of the lasers.

Now, however, two of the turbolasers were now focusing on the newly arrived corvette, assisted by the four ion cannon turrets mounted on the ship as well. Rafe watched as one of the approaching starfighters swerved to avoid laser fire from either Mae's or Grace's ship, Rafe couldn't be sure, and ran itself right into Rafe's turbolaser... Rafe chuckled softly as he watched @Grace Zann and @Mae Tecono tear apart the small opposing force and the left over fire was redirected to the corvette..

Numerous laser cannons, ion cannons, and turbolasers later and the Adz corvette's shields popped, it had been returning fire, separating its own armament between the three Syndicate aligned corvettes, and not doing much of anything to any one of them individually.

Now it was only a matter of time.. they were indiscriminately raining hellfire on the planet's surface, and cutting through quite of bit of the incoming force already, however they'd soon be in range for dog fights... Rafe looked over to the hangar commander, Release the hounds.. Rafe said, a moment later the starfighters in his hangar would depart and move to engage the incoming forces.

Everyone seemed to be following orders, and the syndicate forces were doing well. The various pilots would operate an array of different systems as the laser turrets of the Crusader Class Corvette continued raining hellfire upon the starfighters. Meanwhile, Grace herself was looking quite pleased with the whole ordeal. "Excellent work everyone... It seems they bought us all the time we needed Tyr'din."

The woman would smirk as the power supply was redirected from their engines and went directly to their guns. The corvette would being to slightly lag behind the other syndicate ships, and would begin descending lightly. In doing so however, the ships blasters would nearly double in speed for a short time. Multiple heavy laser cannon rounds, and nearly a hundred light laser cannon rounds, would pelt the opposing force's Adz corvette. The shields of the pirate ship simply weren't enough to contend with such a high rate of fire, despite their defensive nature. The various attacks had blown away small parts of the ship, and soon did enough damage to deactivate it.

As the volley finished Grace would be quick to command her forces once more. "The enemy corvette has been disabled. Ignore it for now, we'll be back later. Return power to the engines and head for the planet's atmosphere. We're going to bombard them..."

"How many and what armaments?" Jules barked. "Fifty, light and medium weapons." Called out the Dawn Vanguard. "Let them through the door, do not engage until at least ten are inside." Called Jules. He then reached inside his jacket pulling out two thermo detonators. When ten had cleared the door their eyes still adjusting to the lack of light, Jules threw first one then the second detonator through the door barely clearing the frame.

They exploded almost simultaneously about eight meters apart just above the heads of the incoming soldiers. Jules then drew both of his peacemakers and joined the Dawn Vanguards in picking off the remaining pirates.

As the last pirate fell his Enforcers advised that the cannon was repairable but would take days of work to do so. Briefly looking around Jules said, " let's move to support the snipers at the space port, we might get a few ships out of this yet."

Just like clockwork he began darting from one part of the Corvette to the other regulating energy flow... optimizing it to their needs and monitoring it for fluctuations, it was during idle patchwork on a circuitboard that Grace crackled on through demanding the Power to be rerouted to the Engine's again.

"Fires up in two."

He said as he connected two wires before pressing the Circuit board back to where it belonged, he then made post haste for the Engine Room where he went to work directing already those operating the necessary controls to hurry up.

"Alright you lot, full throttle, leave some juice for our Weapons Systems."

<"Done.">

A few adjustments later Grace found herself back on track as the Ship went back to motion, the power consumption evened out and it wouldn't be long before regular combat efficiency was reached once more, a voice called out to Grace, one of her Cadet's had a report to make.

<"The Wolf Fleet is cutting a efficient path for our bombardment, we have no obstacles in our way.">

With naught much for a obstacle in Grace's path it was upon her to decide their course of action, people were awaiting further orders and the well oiled business of a naval battle started to churn on.

Three starfighters escorting two armed freighters made their way around the Wolf fleets flank. As Rafe released the hounds, the hounds made their way straight for the corvette and its escort and made no attempt at covering our flanks. The enemy formation saw the hounds fly by and away before they veered their attack path straight towards Rafe and his command ship.

"On the left!" Came shouting over the intercommunication system between Mae's Corvette and her 5 gunships. Mae turned her gaze in that direction to see the incoming formation. "Halt all fire on the enemy in front of us and direct all fire on that formation!" She ordered to all under her command. It took a moment for the turbo lasers and ion cannons to rotate to their new targets, but once they did, they opened fire. The many light lasers from the various gunboats also barraged the incoming formation. So much firepower was concentrated on the small area of the enemy formation that two of the three star fighter escorts were ripped to shreds. Just as they 1000 meters, the starfighter broke away back to the planet and the two freighters opened fire. They did not have any laser cannons, which Mae found odd but soon found out why. The two freighters were decked out with torpedo and missile launchers. In a matter of seconds, they had emptied their payload at various hardpoints of Rafe's Corvette. As the freighters unloaded, they diverted power to their shields and engines and tried to fly over and away as quickly as possible. However, as they got danger close, one of them was ripped apart by Mae's Turbo lasers while the other was hit multiple times by her ion cannons and started to float adrift into space, completely disabled. Mae shot her first mate a quick look which he interpreted perfectly as if she had spoken. "Dispatch boarding pod Alpha, to that disabled ship!" Ordered the first mate to hanger. Moments later, the boarding pod with about ten of Mae's Enforcers was on its way to the disabled freighter.

As the two enemy freighters impressive payload made their way to their targets, Mae shifted her attention back to them. "Gunboats, arm your point defense cannons" She ordered. As soon as she had finished her command, the gunboats opened fire with their point defense turrets destroying all but three of the incoming missiles and torpedo's. The three remaining found their perspective targets but did minimal damage to Rafe's Ship and its systems.

After that threat had been dealt with, she saw that the enemy corvette had been somewhat disabled by Grace and her corvette. "Shall we destroy the enemy corvette or do you have other plans, Rafe?" Mae asked her leader over fleet communications. Her ion cannons and Turbo lasers targeted the corvette awaiting his reply.

The emptiness of space around the small planet was currently full of laser fire, mostly from their fleet raining hellfire down on the disadvantaged group below, but to their credit they had managed an attempt to fight back, even as their comrades were torn to shreds by the various turbolasers and cannons, Rafe had not attempted to have negotiations done, so this attack was unprovoked and could not have been seen coming, which provided them the tactical advantage, alongside their superiority numbers and available technology.

As Rafe looked over at the disabled Corvette he hadn't considered it, but Mae's question had forced it into his mind.. the thing was small for its class but still useful to a degree, it would be better served in the Pyke fleet than just simply destroyed. Rafe was no expert on each unique model of ship in the galaxy, but ventured a guess that ship was ran by no more than fifty or so crewmen.. Board the ship, let's take it with us.. Rafe called back, that thing was likely this pirate gang's pride and joy, so making it their own would be just that much more demoralizing.

Rafe's ship would take a few more pot shots at the disabled corvette with its ion cannons, hoping to ensure the thing stayed disabled keeping it from moving until they wanted it to, the rest of the armament was directed toward the makeshift fighter wing, Rafe almost felt bad, if that had simply thrown their lot in the with the Syndicates they wouldn't be in this position.. still Rafe remembered a time when the Pyke's own fleet looked very much the same as the one they were now decimating.

The city itself had taken quite the beating from the orbital bombardment, and debris littered the scene as it was pulled back toward the planet and could be seen in chunks burning up in the atmosphere. Keep at it, we're about wrapped up here. The starfighters originally released by Rafe's ship would move to assist @Mae Tecono in the boarding of the Adz-Class, though Rafe was confident she could likely handle it herself with the crew she had onboard already.

While Grace was busy commanding destruction, the other participants in the battle wanted to get their hands on the enemy corvette. They would likely face resistances if they boarded the ship, so she was hesitant to say the least. Grace decided to announce a reaffirmation of her orders from before, allowing Rafe and Mae to have their own fun.

"Very well. Pyke forces will move to acquire the enemy corvette. We say focused on the mission. The path for bombardment is clear. Position all laser cannons toward the palace."

The various cannons would rotate from around the ship, pointing every last one toward the palace on the planet's surface. They were within close enough range to deal some damage, and so it would begin. "Unleash upon them!"

Following these commands, every available laser cannon whether heavy or light would begin pelting the palace with firepower. The skies of the planet would be filled with red beams of plasma, many of which would land true, destroying parts of the palace. Much of the enemy force was also on the ground, leading the further casualties. They never expected the syndicates to get this close, and they paid for that expectation.

The moment he saw sky light up Jules conducted a rapid roll call when all had checked in he requested a confirmed body count. He also learned that there had been no attempt to reinforce the space port and as of yet not even one blast door had been successfully opened.

In an attempt to save as many of the ships still inside he opened his com link and for the first time where he knew Rafe would hear it directly from him he called, " Dawn 1 to syndicate fleet the space port is locked down and off line remove this location from targeting." Jules then followed with the coordinates to ensure there was no mistake.

With the order to unleash fire Tyr'din gave the order another time through the Frequency 2-24, and before long space was filled with a cacophony of violent and endless naval bombardment, it was when Julius's hail came through that Tyr'din had to spring to action, their Targeting Computers were configured to rain hellfire on all structures...

"Say again? Dawn 1?"

He played that back in his head a second time before it hit him... he was about to commit friendly fire if he didn't adjust the Corvettes point of Aim, his hand slammed down on the console as it fidgeted with several buttons, his head sprung to action how would he at best divert the point of aim of every gunner?

"Dawn 1, We have commenced fire already, diverting all following batteries off your location, dig in."


And just like clockwork, now that mostly everyone was dialed in, Tyr'din punched in a sequence that Grace had given him for emergencys, the Manual Control for all turrets, whilst this cluttered his Targeting Computer to a point where he had to micro manage SEVERAL different points of aim he eventually adjusted them all enough to rain deadly hell on the Palace.

"Sorry boys, this is faster than... ergh... telling you."

He then released control again so that everyone could return to doing their job, for once... Tyr'din looked like he was sweating or rather, how it would look like if a Helmet could sweat, he looked back to Grace and almost as if she would know he winked behind that visor.

"Not even close."

With the battle in hand, Mae told her second to take command as she made her way down to her hanger. On the way down she told her enforcers to meet her down there. As they all arrived almost simultaneously, they all boarded the boarding craft and quickly took flight to the enemy corvette. As they were in transit, she ordered her corvette to continue firing ion cannons on it to insure its deactivation until they were safely on board. She also ordered for two of the five gunboats to board the ship in two additional spots to maximize their boarding success.

Once boarded, the enforcers breeched the ship perfectly. It had taken a beating and on their way to the bridge came across many burned corpses of the their crew. As they reached the bridge, they met up with the other two boarding parties who stated that had met very light resistance and also many dead crew. As they breached the doors, they found the command crew already on the ground with their hands up in surrender.

A smile now on Mae's face, she radioed over to Rafe, "the ship is ours!" she said excitedly.

Rafe really wasn't sure what he was going to do with such an outdated ship, but nonetheless metal was metal. As Mae called out they'd taken it, Rafe received the distressed call from @Julius Arvo from the ground.. What the hell was he doing down there? He knew as well as everyone this was an orbital bombardment.. The Zann ship adjacent to Rafe's had made adjustments to prevent killing the Vanguard, and Rafe ordered the same, but just the same, the ordinance had already been launched.. @Julius Arvo would have a hard time surviving now that entire city had come under fire...

As the rest of the armament unleashed hell on the palace the thing crumbled under all of the fire, and Rafe ordered a cease of his own ship's firing. He didn't care if the others kept firing or not. Opening a planet wide comm broadcast, just enough for the whole planet to hear but not leave the system Rafe began to speak, Citizens of Dubrava, congratulations, your application had been accepted, and you've officially been annexed by the United Five Syndicates.. Welcome to the family.. Rafe said, the administrative duties would follow soon, it took quite a bit of paperwork to fully control a planet.. and that was something Rafe wasn't looking forward to..

Until then, given that the small fleet had knocked down every ship that'd left the planet's surface and tried to fight, it was unlikely they'd receive any additional resistance. A number of ships were preparing to leave Rafe's, packed with various members of the Pyke Syndicate Legion, the ground work would be easy, which is why Rafe was leaving it up to them..

Opening his secure line to the strike force, We're done here.. as always it's been a pleasure... Rafe said. Recently all this work had really become.. well work..
