"Hmm. We'll settle that later. First, we will move and attack Alaris Prime. THey'll never be able to defend it. And someone find me the Serpent!" Imperius ordered.

Alianna Naviri Ali'anna continued to watch the stars. "That's an odd question to ask. I have no intentions to do so... but if I ever do it, I would advise you to be far away." She was stoic as she responded, her eyes distant and thoughtful. "Odd? No. Not after the last female the Captain brought aboard stole an escape pod to try and find him. This is the second time the captain had to escape a planet with female company in tow. The last one wanted something of the Captain. Seeing the Captain is still alive, My theory held that she was incompetant. You being a profesional assasin with a considerable reputation, I just assumed that the chances of you succeding where Alinn failed are considerably higher."

"I suppose..." the Twi'lek responded, leaning, palms down, against the control console. She delighted in the subtle vibrations that coarsed through the ship, "...that your reasoning makes sense. You are a droid."
She turned her back on the stars and looked back down the passage leading to the bridge. "I suppose my word means nothing to you. I won't attempt to redeem myself through it. If I can be redeemed at all."
Ali'anna sighed, again feeling the galaxy on her mind. "Where's Cale?"

"Please don't lean on that." the droid told her. "as to the Location of the Captain, he is probably recovering from his grievious wounds in his cabin, Down the hall and the first door on the right."

"Ready, mag? Punching out of hyperspace!" Allon said as they neared Yavin 4. "We need to play cool for some time, so Yavin 4 is perfect. Might even make friends there? Whatever." He contacted the nearby fleet via comlink. "Requesting permission to land in Yavin 4."
"Codes?"
"Um, sure?" He sent the stern sounding man the codes for landind, hoping for the best.
"Very good. You are cleared for landing."
"What? Okay!" He began taking the ship down to the jungle moon.
Mag looked at him, puzzled. "Care to explain, master?"
"Well, seems that the man "sold" me a stolen republic ship. Well, with rep. codes, at least."

Ali'anna nodded and walked towards the location Cambot had directed. She stopped halfway there; why did she want to go to Cale's room? How would it make her feel better, or change her situation?
She shook her head and went to her own room instead, not sure of her eventual decision.

(( *after thinking upon it for a few ...* Ok, so we'll have some shades of RotJ here ... ))
"These codes seem just this side of out of date," Kantz grumbled, upon hearing the request for Yavin clearance. "May I see them, myself?" Mordranna queried. She then looked them over. "Well, they seem to be ok. Still," she paused for effect, "something doesn't add up," she stated. Kantz arched an eyebrow. "The Force, general?" "No, a hunch." Mordranna stated. "I shall go to Yavin personally," "And, the Squires?" "They are to continue their scheduled drills. Squire Two is in command of the squad for the duration."

Angel drew both sabers and proceeded to practice a little. Her form lacked any hint of raw power, but rather was more for finesse, and the movements she made were almost dance-like. After a few moments, she stopped and put her sabers away. " I think I've gotten the hang of dual-wielding now. Seems almost second nature to me at this point. "

"Good." Imperius said, as the fleet emerged around Alaris Prime.
"Commence the attack, Admiral." he ordered.

Alaris Prime. A forest green body, home to many Wookiees who migrated to the moon from Kashyyyk. To the Wookiees who lived on Alaris Prime, it was a better home than Kashyyyk. It had lusher vegetation, less predators, and was home to only two major battles, whilst Kashyyyk was plundered during each war fought in the galaxy.
Today, the Wookiees changed their minds. Tree-cities were destroyed in instants, disentegrated by the turbolasers from the Star Destroyers. TIE bombers wreaked havoc across those cities that withstood the attacks.
As Imperius looked at the holofeeds onboard Red Tempest, he had to admit that the Wookiees fought bravely. Perhaps even more bravely than the ones he had encountered on Kashyyyk. Strategically, Alaris Prime had no point this far into the war. The only thing that could come from it was Wookiee slaves, and antislavery was the one point that Imperius still retained from his days as a senator. In fact, the entire purpose of attacking Alaris Prime was threefold.
The first was that Alaris Prime was one of several locations that his forces were harassing the New Republic. After the Fall of Coruscant, the Republic would be struggling to find a new base of operations. As the Republic occupied themselves with fighting on such fronts, it would give time for the Intelligence Commandoes to find the Republic base and guide the Black Void towards it. Secondly, Imperius felt that perhaps the Tan'Sa'Qua shard may be on the planet: it was strong in the Force and the Dark Reaper was once defeated there. Now that he had reached the planet, he was ever sure that it held a shard of the artifact, and Imperius had to secure it. And lastly, Imperius attacked the planet in a personal vengence, to make up for the loss of Kashyyyk at the beginning of the war.
As Imperius landed on the planet, he felt more powerful than ever.

In record time, the techs had Mordranna's Jedi fighter prepped and ready. Within the course of a minute, the little blue and white fighter launched from the Hope Eagle, and set to follow the suspicious ship down to Yavin. Let's see what you're about, friend,

Roughly a day later, the Auric Runner made Port at Vergresso. And the fees were quite annoying. Cale was docking a much larger ship this time, and in addition he had to dock the Sentinel as well, meaning he was paying two Berth costs. Fortunately, Imperial Credits had gone up in worth, thanks to recent Fedderation victories. And since Imp credits were what he had, Imp Credits were what the locals got. Cale limped down the bording ramp, dressed in his usuall jacket and jeans ensemble. He was feeling better, a combination of the bacta and a good night's sleep (finally). He saw his crew come down the ramp and he gave them instructions. "Cambot, watch the ships and see if you can find something to do with Corporal Katie. Rak, go into town and see if you can locate a good Fighter mechanic in the Rebel sector. Im going to go and find a bacta tank for a quick dip. Then I'll try and figure out what to do with the Sentinel over there."

Ali'anna sat on her bunk and stared at the wall of the cubicle. She tried to make her mind at least as blank as the dirty surface, then gave up. Too many things flew through her tired mind.
The next event was one she would rue for the rest of her dismal life. Her holotransiever buzzed, a low, gentle hum that generated none of the evil or malice of the Sith contacting her.
Sighing, she lifted the small circular object from a discreet pouch on her belt and lifted it to her face, held fast in her blue-green palm. She activated the device and realized whoit was from. Her naked brows met over the gentle bridge of her nose in contempt. "What is it?"
