ElladanKenet A few days later, and two more raids following the massive raiding done around Garos, and The Conquerer was finally out of its berth, and fully manned. As part of its crew, their chiss commander had his entire bridge-crew transfered over along with the LT Transverter. Once it was all done, he officially brought the vessel in his his command ship, and most powrful ship he yet had. "What's on our agenda for today?" Elladan asked, as he, Sven, and Detre toured the bridge, while the ship patrolled Taris. Outside the ship, one could see a group of light frigates under the final stages of construction. "Quite a bit, actually," the captain answered. "The Pride of Csilla has just finished being re-crewed with spares from our past engagements and new recruits. It's ready to assume it's new role as our decoy ship." "As planned," the chiss noted, fiddling with his datapad. Next he turned to Detre. "What has the Network to report?" "A lot. We've received word that we might be able to secure the assistances of a pirate group." He frowned. "Pirates? Explain." "It seems a group calling themselves Therin's Privateers is operating out of a small asteroid field between Bandomeer and Dathomir. Fairly corrupy, with a minor pirate fleet consisting of five corvettes, some Viper fighters, and a dozen guard droids, nothing a Star Destroyer could handle... or so one would think." Elladan raised an eyebrow. "Go on.." Detre smiled, showing his fangs. "Apparantly, the local Imperial presence, a Nemesis under the command of a Captain Benton Thade, has had a bad run-in with them, centered around ilicit trade, bad gambling, and a few bad choices. In any case, the man and all his crew got assaulted." Now the chiss got it. "You're saying we could take the ship." "As a matter of fact, I do. The Intelligence has suggested that a fast, decisive strike involving enough credits, some assault teams and commandos, and we could overwhelm the pirates and rescue what captives they have. Any Imperial survivors would be in our debt." "Yes, but their commander would still be vulnerable to more bribery." "But the ship is surely worth the exchnage. We can surely put him in a more secure position." "That we can. Go ahead and contact Overlord Myno. He'll take care of it." A day later, several warships from Myno's fleet arrived outside of the Bandomeer Asteroids, consisting of at least five Canderouses, an ISD, a Victory, an Acclamantor, and all the craft he'd need. Seto was no fool, but he'd rather come prepared; if there were more pirates than reported, enough to man the Nemesis they were to commandeer, they'd need every ship they could spare. Once they were in range, the gruff Mandalorian hailed the base buried in the asteroids, an old Zann Consortium outpost. "This is Overlord Myno of the Mandalorian Empire and Loyalist Empire. I formerly request parlay with your commanding officer." There was some movement deeper in the field, when eventually an aging Crusader came into view along the edge of a plasma-cannon turrent. The base then hailed them. "If you've come for a fight, we're not interested at the time," a cold woman's voice came over the intercom. "We weren't responsible for that raid at Garos IV." "I never made such accusations," Myno retorted calmly, surely catching the woman off guard. "I merely wanted to discuss an exchange of resources. Are you up for some business." "Always," came the sharp reply. "Though your friends weren't so ready. What do you want?" "Nothing much. The ship you recently captured and its surviving crew." "That's a lot to demand," she answered. Slowly, more ships came into view, including an Interceptor V frigate and some StarVipers. "And what do you offer?" "Three carriers worth of ore and credits," the Overlord replied. "Enough to keep you over for several weeks." "Probably. I want six." "No," he insisted. "I offered three." "Bullshit," she countered angrilly. "Don't act like you don't have it. You happen to have nine ships with, all ready for exchange. I want six of them." "Ma'am, you can't use a Nemesis," Seto answered warily. "Unless that base of yours has a few dozen-thousand more than we projected, and I doubt you have enough slave-systems to rig a ship three kilometers long." He paused. "Five carriers worth. That's enough to hold over your bases for months on end." There was a brief silence. After several moments, she answered. "Give us a few minutes to discuss things."

Sir we have arrived. Darth Zerosels eyes snap open, he had been dreaming of his parents murder, quite glad to have been awakened. "Are they here yet?" No sir "then we wait".He looks out and see's Nal Hutta, clearly unimpressed. Another waste of my time. he thought to himself.

"This is Aksel on the Ifirt. Good to see you made it, better late then never."
The shuttle, decloaked, and passed by Zerosel's ship.
"Fallow us down."

" I hate it when people get the drop on me." said Darth Zerosel in an angry voice, his tenticles practically flailing from rage. He puts the ship on manual control and follows the Ifirt down.

Kalnar fought on, attempting to bat the vibroblade away from him. "I won't allow you to harm the young ones," he adressed the bounty hunter.

Link climbed aboard the yacht with a sigh. The Clue was aquired. Now to leave the world and move on.
And there was of course the Princess to consider. He had to find something to do with her.
"So much to do." He muttered wearily. "So many troubles to sort through."
"Well then..." A sensual voice called from around a corner. "Perhaps I can help you forget some of those troubles..."
Link sighed. "Sha'ra, This one is going to have to turn down your offer. But he requests that you do him a favor and take him to Bespin, if it wouldn't be too much trouble."
"Oh certainly." Sha'ra said as she came walking up the corridor. "You're girlfriend has told me some interesting tales about you. You can pay off your trip by fleshing out more of the details. Maybe even tell me how you killed that Krayt Dragon that's been buzzing all over Tatooine."
Link blinked.
"Wait...you're over there."
"Naturally." The Zeltron stated, resting her hands on her hips."Where else would I be?"
"Then who..."
"Oh Link..." The voice called again. "Ive got something to show you..."
Confusion rapidly increasing, Link turned towards the voice.
Princess Leida, heir to the throne of a whole planet, slinked around the corner in a Lingerie outfit that would make a street walker blush and made the slave outfit he had found her in seem like a suit of stormtrooper armor.
Link stared.
Like watching a train wreck, he could not look away.
Leaning against the bulkhead of the Yacht, Leida shot him a wink. "Is that a lightsaber in your trousers, or are you just happy to see me?"
Link arched an eyebrow, took a calming breath and bowed to the princess.
"If you'll excuse this one, he must now locate a cold shower."
With that, the jedi strolled towards the back of the Yacht, leaving the two females to watch him depart.
When he was finally gone, they shot a look to one another and then began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Oh by the Force!" Sha'ra said after a few minutes of hard laughter. She held her sides and struggled to avoid bursting out again. "Did you see his face?!"
"Priceless!" The princess giggled, wiping away a tear. "I can't believe you talked me into doing this, but it was so totally worth it!"
"Sugar, I can talk anyone into anything." She said, moving over to Leida and still clutching her shapely sides. "But I can guarentee you, thatimage was permanently burned into his brain. Talib will probably be up all night polishing his saber."
Leida giggled again. "What we did to him was wrong, tempting him with something he'll never get."
"Never get?" Sha'ra said mischievously. "Your lines didnt sound half as convincing in rehersal as they did when he showed up. I have a sneaking suspision you were rather deep in character. Or maybe you didnt need to act at all..."
Leida's face turned red.
"Oh-ho! I wasnt far off!" Sha-ra smirked as she slid all too close to Ledia. "You've got a thing for Talib!"
"Absolutely not!!"
"What was it? his boyish good looks? His sexy stoicism? The way he handles his sword?" Sha'ra queried impishly, watching with great amusement as the Princess became more and more embaressed.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" She angrily snapped at the prodding Zeltron. She pushed past the woman and made her way for one of the yacht's passenger cabins.
"You can keep that outfit!" Sha'ra called after the fuming girl.
When the princess had disapeared, the Zeltron collapsed against the bulkhead,breaking out into laughter once more.
"Oh, by the Force am I bad! I should have been born a Sith!"

Another plasma shield came to life on his other wrist. He shielded the blows from the attacks, and swung with his knife when the chance came. He spoke while slicing and blocking.
"Hurt? No, not at all, there worth more alive and whole!"
And with that, he moved in close, and small dart shot out and into the Mon Cal's neck. The dart were made to bring a Force user down. The strength of the dart was enough to kill a normal being, but enough to knock out one that uses to the Force.

Gunther's eyes were like saucers as Kalnar feel. "Master!" he cried out in shock.

"No, Gunther," Iria said, as the boy sprang to, presumably to go to Kalnar. "This is Iust's fight," she solemnly said.

"Iria's right boy. I'm not finished with him yet." Iust said as he let out a couple shots at the Mandalorian's back.

While Elladan awaited his Nemesis Destroyer, or that failing word of a battle near Bandomeer, the warlord went ahead and had a private discussion with his Force-influence, Kathleen.
"Can I help you?" the woman asked, as she walked into the cool, dimly lit room.
The chiss' eyes glowed from his desk as he looked up. "Yes, Kathleen. Please, will you follow me to the hangar?" He got up and strode over to her, after grabbing his pistol. "I have another mission for you."
"I'll serve best I can," she replied. "What is the nature?"
He led the way to the lift, then gave the command to head down to the hangar. "Some recon, suited to your nature. Are you familiar with a planet called Geonosis?"
"Yes. It was the headquarters of the Confederacy of Independant Systems prior to the Clone Wars, and home of the Geonosians. The planet's famous for its arena where prisoners are regularly fed to live fauna, such as Acklays and kath hounds."
"Did you know it was also home of a Sith Temple. The Network pinpointed yesterday, and I'd like you to go."
"Any particular reason?"
"Several, actually. Primarily, I want you to bring back anything you think may be useful for research. While your there, do some recon. If you meet anyone worth bringing home... well, you'll know what to do."
By this point, they'd arrived in the hangar, where a lone heavily-modified TIE Defender sat. It was obviously in shape, and it's hyperdrive looked more fit than its predecesor. It'd serve its purpose. "I want you to leave immediately, while we have a guarantted window of oppurtunity. Take as much time as you need, but don't be gone too long. I may need your help soon."
She nodded, and walked off to the fighter without even being dismissed.

" I know what you mean. Jedi area all dead serious by the time they're, what, 2? " Angel said. " I've lived on Dantooine when I was little before I got the means to travel on my own. Those Jedi may be wise masters but that doesn't say much for conversation beyond training and all that. "

Naboo ...
Freya laughed at Angel's assessment of Jedi. "You're, like, totally right," she declared. "But, you know what?" she asked. "Like, with all respect, you seem totally different from most Jedi. Like, not that I have much of a frame of reference outside of Kalnar and Gunther - have you ever met them?" she then queried as she hugged herself, as nightfall began to descend on their area of Naboo, and a faint chill entered the air.
As she got up, she then said, "I totally have to get back. Otherwise, Rusty and Gorry will, like, totally have a nerf!" she laughed. Her face seeming even more ivory in the twilight glow of the evening sky, a faint flush adorned her cheeks. "Angel, it was really, like, totally nice to see you again," she said in a calm, gentle tone, holding out her hand.
And, with that, a rough voice came from nowhere. "You won't be going anywhere, little tibanna princess!" came the rough scowl.
It was a man in dark armor, and it looked as though the man had managed to mug a storm commando and a Mandalorian. And, he wielded a most wicked-looking lightsaber, which glowed an angry crimson.
Freya whipped her blaster from her holster, firing off a couple shots at the Sith. However, the sith managed to deflect Freya's shots.
"You'll have to do better than that, little girl!" called out the Sith.
(( Okies, that's your cue, dear. ))

((my god this RP moves fast...))
As of the time being, Queen Mother Elenaa rather enjoyed the New Empire of the Hand. It was officially declared to be a sovereing state of the Hapes Consortium. This was suitable for Vaan, his people didn't need many worlds, only enough to hold those who wanted it. And also, he needed to protect his worlds.
The new Domain of the Hand (Vaan changed the name, as there was no Emperor) now included two more mineral-rich worlds: Spira and Esthar.
It was finally time to contact Eladan Kenet.
Leuitenant Balthier hailed him immediately.

((how exactly does the plasma shield work? i'm not aware of them being used anywhere else in star wars Canon. theoretically, the shield couldn't be contained unless it was looped somehow, which is impossible in the shape you imply... plus, such a device would prevent the mounting of anything else on that arm
also, i'm completely lost. what exactly is the setup? i mean like, everyone's position.. i can't figure out where characters are relative to each other))
