Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ztaph was keeping tabs on all the team's coms. If any died, he'd know. He commed the rest again and ordered a regroup. They all made their way to a central meeting place where they devised a plan. They were to knock out the shield generator using everything they had, and anything they could get their hands on. Soon enough, they were mowing down everything in their way until the shield generator was in view. " Okay boys, the guards here will be tougher than ever, and expect Jedi to jump outta nowhere at any time. Don't get cocky, and if it moves, kill it! " They all split up around the area, taking cover behind whatever they found, and started throwing thermal detonators one of them raided from the armory. The Loyalist fleet was getting even closer, and the fighters and bombers were just about within distance to start their attacks.

The Sundered Rose came outta hyperspace just behind the fleet. Catching up with the troop transports, Angel said, " You will be on the ground with the troops. I don't care what you do, just help make sure Mon Calamari falls. " She then commed the fleet Admiral and explained the new friend they'd have on the field. Turning back to Ali'Anna, she said, " I'll drop you off, but you'll be picked up with the rest of the troops in one of the transports. If you do well, I can assure you that you will be greatly rewarded. "

Neb reached the scene of the explosion, seeing several vanguards wounded, but had no need to call a medic, as several were already nearby rushing towards the scene.

"Who did this?" Neb shouted. One pointed in a general direction, at a man rushing towards the inside of the complex. "You!" Neb pointed at someone in the crowd nearby, "you're in charge of this pier. If it falls, its your fault, understand? I'll be back as quick as possible."

The soldier saluted, and Neb took off, mumbling to himself, "Bad day, bad day, bad day.."

All hell had broken loose. The only entrance to the shield generators was through a corridor. All other entrances were vents, impossible to get through for a normal sized human. This worried Gunnie, as there was no place to retreat to. Blasterfire came down the hallway, as gunnie returned, and as the stress rose, so did his accuracy.

A grenade was lobbed, poorly, and fell short. Figuring that there was more to come, Gunny found a pipe nearby. As he predicted, these professionals were professionals.... and therefore predictable. Their strategy could be analyized, though gunny didn't recognize the strategy, he understood the pattern. They were a single unit, but they followed simple timelines. They were too in-sinc with each other. Some reason, somehow, gunnie realized this. How, we may never know.

But at precisely the right time, a thermal detonator was thrown, and instantly hit back by the pipe, towards the squad, with a large grin on gunnies face, as he dodged to move out of the way of returning blasterfire. Many of the guards had chosen good hiding places, and several were up above on the walkways, ready to provide more cover fire.

"Damnit Neb. There has to be at least twenty of these guys in the hall. How could you miss so many?"

The interior of Black Void was the complete opposite of the exterior. The smooth, waxed black was replaced by a clear, pacific, even surgical white, everywhere. Of course, it was accented by an electric green on panels and on some walls, where it was gridded with a tight black. The station was essentially able to be more than just a superweapon, an entire panel of the station, a diameter, was a hangar, though the station could not hold a capital ship or a cruiser, it would be able to hold many fighters. This also would give the station the advantage in a battle, able to deploy fighters from all side. Of course, at the moment the station had no fighters docked, but if it were attacke during the test run, it would most probably decimate its attackers: when threatened, the panels of the exterior would slide down and inward into, and the turbolaser and ion batteries would flare. Thus, the station would be a calm yet frightening site in peace, and a deadly weapon in battle.

The bridge of the station was at the apex of its height, and the core systems were in the core of the station, with the hyperdrive in the bottom of the station. Also located in the core was the station's most deadly weapon as well. The station featured parallel and elevated turbolifts, so that one could get from one part of the station to another. The station was divided into 12 rings, so that one could navigate it easily.

Imperius' personal quarters were on Ring 10. But that was of no concern at the moment. The most concern was to make sure the superweapon worked. And that, was why VoidTech123 was escorting him to the bridge.

Ali'anna leapt to the ground and ran with the other troops to the area outside the generator. Ignoring cover, she emptied a clip into the general field of fire in front of her and lodged the gun into the band of the barely present lower-piece of her outfit. She grabbed a drop vibroknife and turned it on, then ran low into the defending troops. She dodged and weaved, taking advantage of the close range to maximize the effect of her melee combat, and taking advantage of her clothing to move more fluidly.

"There is little difference between Jedi and Sith in my eye. They both consider non-force users as lesser beings, and I'm not keen on that."

Mordranna pondered Cale's words as she took a seat near him on the bench. Arching a slender, delicate eyebrow, she pondered what he meant by the Jedi betraying the Republic. And, the attitude that he mentions is an unfortunate trait among some Jedi I've observed. Not common, but still ...
"I think it unfortunate to look down on people whom do not share a gift that you have," she stated. Sometimes, I wonder if I would have been better off earning college money working for Bomber Bill's Bantha Burger, she wryly pondered.

The strike team began advancing, but Ztaph ordered them to halt short of a single corridor. Suspecting the quiet as a trap, he threw a detonator down the length of it. As if on cue, blaster fire came from behind, as some of the guards had spotted them. " You 2, with me. The rest of you, take those guards out. " He continued to advance with the 2 others, keeping an eye out for any possible traps.

(( I'm assuming the corridor is like a long hallway. A being the team, B being their objective, | being where it intersects other hallways, where any traps would be ---> A-------|----|----|----|--|---B ))

Angel soon realized she was aboard a superweapon, and began to look around. After being in awe of it, she focused back on finding the Dark Lord and followed him through the Force until she finally reached him. " Nice place. Is this what we'll use to beat the Republic to allow us the total freedom to continue finding the truth about Revan? " She paused for a moment, then gave a shocked expression. " I just remembered, we left that holocron on the Eclipdra when it was destroyed. Now we'll never know what's on it... "
