How many times do I have to tell you guys... Canis Solo Bridge of the Light's Shield orbiting Voss Health 500 Canis had been busy repairing the hyperdrive engine that he didn’t notice when the looped message cut off, showing that it had been answered... and a message about his assignment waited for him. He had hydrospanners, wrenches, hammers sprawled all over the engine compartment as he worked, grease smears over his face and hands, his tunic stained as he spent hours fixing. It wasn’t until his 6th straight hour than the pleasant hum of the drive filled the compartment. Sighing in relief he quickly packed up his tools and made for his cabin, leaving the compartment open. Stripping he landed on his bunk like a log and was out like a light.
Canis awoke to his ship shaking. Quickly leaping out of his bunk, robes flying to him as he raced to the cockpit he nearly stumbled into the opened engine compartment. A curse left his lips moments before getting to the pilots seat to see a Lancer class ship within kilometres of the Shadow Ring. Dazed for a moment, Canis noticed that the coom light was flashing and quickly turned on the comm system.” Shadow Ring, do you read me, Shadow Ring. This is the Light’s Shield. Captain Solo please respond. Please begin docking procedures. A voice sounded from the speakers.”Light’s Shield this is Captain Solo. Starting docking procedures.” Canis replied as he brought the Shadow Ring around to dock with the Light’s Shield. Canis knew that the ship was Je’daii and that the hanger bay wouldn’t fit his ship, he was going to have to magnetically hull dock. ”Mind telling me what this is all about? Normally I would prefer a bit more notice before docking with an other ship, but while I do, think I can get a restock on some supplies and fuel?” He asked wondering what this was all about.”Sir, you are to take command of the Light’s Shield for the upcoming battle.” The voice responded Canis was shocked to hear that he was going to be taking command of a capital ship, he figured that he would just be flying the Shadow Ring. ”Well that’s a surprise. I’ll be on the bridge 30 minutes after I finish docking. I’ll see you than.” He finished the conversation and the docking. Once making sure that he wasn’t going to fly away Canis quickly got up, closed the engine compartment and quickly jumped into a refresher. Once finished getting clean... though a faint smudge of grease remained on his forehead, he donned a clean battle tunic and made his way to the bridge of the Light’s Shield.
Canis got to the bridge of the Light’s Shield and the bridge Crew saluted. Chuckling he told them to go back to what they were doing. ”Give me ship wide please. Attention all crew, This is Captain Solo speaking. We are going to be in heavy combat with the Sith soon and I would like you all to be prepared for any outcome. All personal please be on guard to take your post at a moment’s notice, the first couple of minutes could mean the battle. I want all escape pods, and any other means of evacuation to be prepped with supplies and to be ready to take off incase of the worse. We are the Light’s Shield and we will defend the light as long as possible. May the force be with us all. Canis gave the battle speech to his new crew. Canis went behind the captain’s seat and stood there for a moment and nodded. He would stand during the battle, it would keep him more alert. ”Ensign Kim, please have someone prep the Shadow Ring for rapid departure, if the worse happens, I’m not leaving my ship behind. On that note, Ensign Tom, if possible please keep the deflector shields to a good strength, I don’t want her being blasted from the hull. He asked two of his bridge crew as he smiled, he could get use to this. ”Bridge crew, in case the worst happens, I would like it if you came with me onto the Shadow Ring. I could use the help there. It’s up to you if you want to go though.” He offered the bridge crew. He could use the help on his ship if the worse happens, plus most likely he would be picking up those in escape pods and ground forces until the ship was at her limits anyways. For now Canis just stood, looking into space with anticipation for the upcoming battle Never tell me the odds.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossWhat's this? Shocked that a woman isn't throwing herself at your feet? I'm afraid that there is much you still need to learn about me... she teased, stroking his hair gently. As far as keeping things interesting go, I could ask the same of the 'one and only' Captain Dawson."Insulted more than shocked my dear, but I suspect you are correct." he chuckled, but only briefly as she started to stroke his hair he raised an eyebrow. "Tell me love, did you expect when you got up this morning that your day would end, in the arms of a Zeltron pirate and entrepreneur, while hurling through hyperspace to find who knows what when we arrive? I think that we are certainly keeping things interesting," he watched her motion for him to raise his arms, and started to follow her motions. Though... I do believe I'll have to do something about the half naked part. At least for now...His arms were half raised when he noticed the shirt was now in her hands he raised his brow clearly impressed with the feat. "Fine then I suppose I may as well get dressed," he glanced down at the hilt now in her holster "and armed for that matter." He pulled the shirt over his head and slid his arms through the sleeves, he turned and pulled the vest on leaving it open. "Stare if you must I have no shame." he said sticking his thumbs into his waistline and sliding them down, before pausing for a moment and pulling on the other pair. With a soft clank his boots hit the floor and he tightened the buckles. "Do you want another weapon as well, as that light stick or is it simply for show?" The pirate looked up from buckling a sword belt around his waist awaiting a response.

Coruscant- Dry Dock "If our enemy has occupation of the planet, the research maybe compromised along with the weapons. All the same, we will apprehend them if possible and start using them. Now lead the way my Lord Emperor, we will be right behind you."
Locolvictum then turned off the communicator and left the car alone. Leaving it where he landed. Then he approached the group of soldiers that were still outside. "My lord," One of the men said, "We were expecting you." The small group of soldiers were at salute, they looked green. Hopefully they are lucky enough to survive. "Splended, are we ready to take off?""Yes we are just waiting on you." "Then come, we have an old enemy to destroy." Locolvictum turned away from them and made for the boarding ramp. The greens were following, but at a distance. Perhaps they were afraid of him. It didn't matter, as long as they follow orders then it didn't matter what they thought.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossZara couldn't help but be amused when he referred to her saberstaff as a "light stick." She covered her mouth with a hand, her laugh a soft murmur. No, it's not just for show. If we're lucky you may even get to see me use it.Though one had to have a twisted idea of what luck was if they considered getting involved in a bloodbath lucky. She felt a sudden sharp pain in her head and sat down on the bed again, turning away and rubbing her temples. She really needed to stop doing this... She rummaged through the pocket of his discarded coat, finding her datapad that she had given him earlier. Do we have an ETA for Voss? she typed, finally turning back around to look at him again.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossNo, it's not just for show. If we're lucky you may even get to see me use it."Perhaps we could duel some time," he produced the vibroraiper with a slight flourish. "She is a beauty isn't she, silent, sharp, deadly , and the man I took it from even swore it could stand up to a weapon like yours." he slid the weapon back into the holster, and clipped a pair of blasters on to it as well. Do we have an ETA for Voss? Dawson took the data pad from her and after reading it pulled his own data pad from his old coat pocket "Lets see, we should be able to drop out of hyperspace any moment now. I left your friend in charge of the helm, If we went back to the cockpit I could drop us just outside of the planets orbit."

Vengeance Health 500 Admiral Sodan paced impatiently on the command deck of the Vengeance as they travelled through hyperspace. The emperor had given him the opportunity to show his ability and he did not want to disappoint.
Especially after what happened to admiral Yanna....It was the fools own fault of course. He should've waited for orders rather than chasing glory.
There was a crackle over his earpiece and the voice of his second in command, Rylian Novar, came through loud and clear.
"Admiral we're approaching planet Voss now. I am making preparations to drop out of hyperspace."
"Belay that commander." Sodan barked irritably and inwardly sighed.
Another glory seeker. These soldiers need to learn discipline.
"Yes Admiral. What are your orders sir?"
"Send a communique to "The Corruo" and inform the Lord Emperor that we are approaching the planet and await his presence before we drop out of hyperspace.
"Admiral, with all due respect, we could take these Je'daii dogs blindfolded."
"That was an order Commander!! I will not risk this ship, her crew or Lord Rahl's wrath because you do not look beyond your own personal gain. This is the Je'daii homeworld we are attacking, not some nerf herder's ranch on Tatooine. We have no idea what is lying in wait for us. Now send that communique!!
"Y...Yes admiral. Novar out."
Sodan shook his head and turned to look into the void that was hyperspace around them. Pressing the button on his earpiece he called his third in command Yin'zo Mi'qote.
"Yes Admiral how may I be of service?
"We are approaching Voss Yin'zo. When we arrive, please help Commander Novar find his way to the airlock doors, and make sure they hit him on the way out."
"Aye aye, Admiral."
"Oh and Yin'zo, do take his uniform first. You'll be needing it."
"As you command Admiral."
The line crackled as it closed and Sodan smiled lightly to himself.
"I will not have the Lord Emperor's chance ruined because of any fault on my crew's part. Even if that means that certain....sacrifices, must be made.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossZara nodded a little at his suggestion of a future spar. That would be a good idea, if they both got out of this alive. She still didn't know what was in store for them on Voss, but she could sense that the Je'daii was not being entirely honest... She nodded again when he mentioned that they were just reaching the planet's orbit. Without saying a word, she motioned for him to lead the way. Her hands were shaking slightly, partly out of excitement and partly out of anxiousness to see what was on Voss already.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossDawson took her hand to keep her from shaking as he lead her back to the cockpit. They walked along in silence before they finally reached the helm, "Ready when ever you are friend.""Wait what is that?!?" Dawson looked at the long range radar and saw a mass of ships. "What in the name of....." he looked back at the two he was transporting "Friends of yours, I hope."

Coruscant - Drop ship
When the last of the troops loaded onto the ship, the gangplank closed and the ship sealed itself. The ship was of a good make, it could hold two hundred troops, and two heavy walkers. Or four light walkers.
The ship was shaped like a trapezoid with wings that can fold in on themselves. The ship was painted black so that it would have natural camouflage in space. The ship also had a overly large shield generator with heavy armor plating. Because having weapons would over draw on power, it lacked any sort of armament that could be used offensively. Because of this, it can still maintain high speeds because the free power can be sent directly to the engines.

Delirium of Dreams - En Route to VossZara squinted at the radar, surprised as well by how many ships were pinging. Some of them were friends (hers at least) but she didn't think that the fleet the Sith was sending would be so massive. That crafty old Je'daii must have gotten a message through to his allies when she wasn't paying attention. Did this mean war? Were her suspicions about an ambush correct? She turned to look the Je'daii straight in the eyes. If there's something you need to tell me, now is the time to do it... she thought to him, concealing her emotions.

Delirium of Dreams - Orbiting Voss"Somebody had better start talking, I'm taking us out of hyperspace, so far I have no enemies who are aware of my location. That means someone here has a large number of enemies and friends." Dawson said over his shoulder as he took his spot in the pilots chair. "Just so you know dog fights are triple the usual rate, not counting damages." The zeltron was deftly handling the various throttles, levels, and hitting the various switches, he picked up a head set and started speaking "This is Captain Dawson on board the Delirium of Dreams, currently transporting two passengers do not fire I repeat do not fire."

Ruins of Dxun
More time had passed for Croix, he didn't keep track of it anymore though. He was meditating and growing stronger in the force. The spirit who was teaching him now had a bigger thing to teach his fleshy apprentice.
"My young apprentice... You have been focused and hidden from the world for some time. You have gained some new... Insight at what it is that you are. You are young but your power is vastly growing. Remember that pain will be fuel for you... Your hatred will be an powerful tool. Don't hide your emotions. Use them! Feel the stirring of power course through you. Use your mind and control to lift the obstacles in your way... This tomb was sealed when you stepped in. Only the dark side will aid you in lifting the stone slab."
Croix opened his eyes to see only the dark. He felt the cold air around him and how still it was. He couldn't make out anything with his sight but with the feeling of the force. His training was paying off with each day. Sure he was starving and the light of day would probably sting, but he was going draw from this pain. But first he would have to lift the stone.
Croix felt the room and perceived the entrance. He had it within the grasp of the force! He felt himself push the slab up creeping in light. Within moments light was filtering throughout the room. "I have done it Master! I have used the force as you instructed." Croix was excited! He felt the rush of the Orbalisk giving him strength.
The spirit felt his excitement and grins as he stands in the shadow, barely there. "and your excited that you've done something a mere novice can do?" He knew it would bring Croix's spirit back down, which it did.
"take your meditation position! And start reaching out with the dark side. Feel out past the walls... The sky... The vast emptiness of space... The stars... Feel the battle taking place! Hide your presence while touching the lives of those who battle. Concentrate on the emotion, how they use the force in their way! Dwell on this and watch as it unfolds... Learn from what you see... draw from what you feel... Take heed in what you learn too. Some abilities aren't for our kind. Give yourself into the force..."
The Spirit vanishes and leaves Croix to do as told. He reaches out and soon joins the battle he was guided to. He could feel the force sensitives here as he felt the tension. He was learning...

Delirium of Dreams - Orbiting VossThe old man leaned back in his chair and glanced at the pair with a sly smile, "Did you not think there would be defenses on the Je'daii homeworld?" he began rather sarcastically, "What did you expect to find, a few grass huts built around a fire?" Turning to the captain, Endar calmly took the comm and addressed the nearest battleship, "This is Je'daii Temple Master Ka'all Endar, clearance code 114Alpha, en route to the temple. Please confirm and notify the council I have returned home." There was a short pause before a young voice came back, "Yes Master Endar, you are cleared to land. Welcome home." Ka'all smiled inwardly as the young man on the other end played along with the ruse. If they survived this escapade, he'd have to remember to find him and see about getting him a promotion. Intelligent officers were always needed."I have already given your pilot the landing coordinates and we should be on the ground momentarily," the Je'daii said to the captain.

How many times do I have to tell you guys... Canis Solo Bridge of the Light's Shield orbiting Voss Health 500 Canis was still standing behind the captain’s chair of the Light’s Shield as he watched out into space waiting. As he stood there, he observed the relief crew flawlessly relieving the active crew so they were able to have a break. He knew his crew could keep this pace up, especially since they shouldn’t have to wait much longer before the Sith showed themselves and it was an all out firefight. In the distance Canis noticed the exit of a hyperspace window. As he couldn’t see the ship he knew it was either a scout for the Sith or one of the many passenger ships that have been dropping off Je’daii. ”Ensign, give me a read out of the ship tha---” He was in the middle of saying before the ensign cut him off.”Sir, it’s the Delirium of Dreams,
”They are friendly ship coming from Coruscant.”
”They are broadcasting two messages, relying them over the speakers now.” Three different crew members said practically in unison, each one speaking a breath after the next, in order of importance. Canis listened to the messages as they came across the speakers of the bridge. ”Helm, bring us around 270 degrees, pitch 24, roll 5 degrees to port, engines at 25 percent. Bring us in a position to cover them if necessary. Comm, open a channel. Canis ordered as he smiled slightly. It was good to hear the old master’s voice again. Captian Dawson, Captian Solo of the Light’s Shield, we will provide any necessary cover as you make your way down to the temple. Master Endar, it is good to hear your voice again. I hope you are well.” Canis finished as the Light’s Shield was moving to provide and cover it would need to to the Delirium of Dreams. ”You guys have arrived timely, a few Je’daii ships are in orbit and no sign of the Sith yet.” Canis said again as he smiled. The force was shinning on them today, and hopefully the skies would stay cloudless. Never tell me the odds.
