Cale's Pirates snagged what they could but ended up with a somewhat smaller haul than they had hoped. With their attention focused on one target, their allies took off with as many ships and as much swag as they could manage and bolted.
Not that that bothered Cale. Let the ingrates take the pocket change. He ha the real treasure.
Clad in a spacesuit, Cale walked the airless halls of the cruiser, remembering the familiar sights from when he had last been.
"I cant honestly believe that the New Republic would leave it in a Mothball Yard." he muttered to himself. Flanked by a pair of P1 droids, he entered the bridge of the battleship and gazed at the alien controls and read outs. The ship had been crewed by the people who had built her, and understandibly the controls best fit those particular beings.
Nonetheless, Cale made his way to a control panel and figured out quick enough what did what.
He typed out several commands on the console and waited.
The lights flickered on, air rushed into the vacum, and the ship rumbled as her powerplant kicked on, an indication of the tremendous power of the battleship. Controls and read-outs flicked on one by one, and once more, the leviethan lived.
It was awe-inspiring.
Cale stared out across the massive deck that spread out before him an activate his comn. "Rain? have all ships dock onto this one and get her reay for sail. we're gonna swing by and pick up the Mando's on our way home."

Just as Novara and his brothers were about to sit back and watch the fire works, a comm came in.
" Commander.... We have a problem. " he said rather fast.
" What is it? Why are the main guns not .... SITH SPIT! " Novara yelled as a small NR fleet, larger then his own, came out of warp. The NR fleet was getting ready to launch its fighters.
" SLAG! All hands to arms! Deactivate ion guns. Time to get serious. I want all cruisers to fire on those squads. When they get in closer i want all squads to rush from the sides. Got it? " All the crew yelled out.

As the New Republic Fleet closed in on Novara's forces, a Mon Cal Cruiser dropped out of hyperspace.
It was over three kilometers long, tubular and organic and bristling with heavy armor and weapon systems.
It was the Home One. The Flagship of the Rebellion.
And she was runnining Code Black Hole.
Her guns, silent for seven years, roared to life and a sheet of reb fire shot across the bow of the lead Republic Ship.
From aboard the Home One, Cale sent a transmission to Novara.
"Hey, guess what I found just lying around? Need a ride?"

(( Ok... ))
Novara was almost sad when cale showed. He kinda wanted to test the full force of the Toga. The fighters pulled back and the cruisers pulled out.
" Anouther time... " Novara said still sitting in the Toga.

"You sound Disapointed." Cale remarked.
"You won't be when I show you your cut. But for now I recomend a speedy withdrawl to Lamreadd before they show up in force."

" Hrmm? You got my attention..." Novara got out of the Toga. The ships had already started the several jumps to Lamreadd. Following the Mon Cal Cruiser, Novara went over losses.
" ... Valin, Tanarko, Reavn... Let get back and see how much their lives were worth. "

The ships re-emerged around Lameradd to find the stardock already hard at work outfitting the ships Cale's crew had dragged home: Mostly Mon Cal ships and Corellian vessels the Republic were about to scrap. Most of the ships were going to be sold off to interested parties, only a few were worth. amid this scene of outlaw techs and floating parts, a dagger-shaped vessel slowly was being pulled into view by a trio of space tugs.
aboard the Home One Cale watched the scene with a sigh.
"Y'know, back in the day I used to run from those things." He remarked as he nodded to the Star Destroyer. "Now I've reached a point in my career where I've finally stolen one. The Irony is that I've no need of it."
"Now you've labeled yourself an old man sir?" Rain remarked.
"Shove it. Now get Bucket-head on the horn and tell him to come over. Ive a deal to discuss with him."

Novara had been going over repairs and restocking. A ensign walked up.
" Commander. A comm from Dardsun. "
" What is it? " Novara said blankly after going over cost of his crew and ships.
" He wants to meet. "
" Tell him i am on the way. " Novara waved him off. Getting up slowly he bowed to his techs and left them to their work.
****
The Toga lifted off and flew into space. Novara was worried. About what he didnt know. Some thing was just sitting on his mind. The Toga slowly flew into the large Mon Cal Cruiser docking bay. As it landed Novara looked at the crew. They looked nothing like a crew. They looked like ... well Pirates. No uniform, no order and no one that even looked in charge. Novara got out and walked to the closest turbo lift. Taking that up many floors he had to walk what felt like to long. Seeing a unmanned shuttle, Novara got in and took off down the large hall. Coming to the bridge he came to a stop and got out. Walking up to the door he pessed the call button. He was not about to walk onto a captins bridge with out permition.
