Hidden behind Koratas(Jedi)

[Aeon Kensho™]

{OOC-This thread is private It is only open to Hue Ran, Zaos Felreave, and Myself. It is here the Jedi will meet to discuss tactics and the upcoming war. Once we leave this thread we head to the surface, To the Dathomir Civil War. Once there we will have little communication as we will all have our hands full with the war.}

Koratas was the fourth moon of Dathomir. It had red soil that hid several deposits of neutronium, lommite and zersium. While there were mining colonies on Koratas, It was still a prime place for a covert meeting aboard Aeon Kensho flagship a Nebula-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Defender-class Star Destroyer-the Illuminative. On the bridge a meeting of the Jedi would take place, A war council of sorts. On the best course of action and the growing situation on Dathomirs surface.

The large ship hums next to the moon staying hidden from scans from Dathomirs surface. To be able to use the moment to our advantage. If we were detected too early our arrival would be expected. As of now we have the upper hand. If we go straight in it will give our opponent less time to set up a defensive grid. Generals is one thing, Jedi Generals are another. It will change the dynamic of this upcoming battle. We will have to remain fluid and flexible, Then we can ride out the storm.

The bridge of the Illuminative is dark. We sit on the dark side of the moon, Preparing our plans. A hail had been put out to the only known surviving Jedi Master in the galaxy. He had been gone for sometime. His where abouts were unknown. We could only hope he would answer the hail in our time of need. This was a shatter-point conflict, If it is not handled correctly we could have another war in the brewing. This was something the Jedi order put all of its energy and efforts into thwarting. The Force guides us here, and after the pleas of the senate we must intervene. The death toll is catastrophic, Action must be taken.

(Looking to the red moon Koratas, The glow shines onto the bridge's shiny floor. A red glow cast into the bridge of the Jedi flagship The Illuminative. The crew is working well, Everyone is calm even though they are aware of the dangers. Hidden behind the moon the Jedi would gather their plans. Turning and walking back down the walkway in the center of the bridge. A Holo projection of Dathomir spins on the base lined with buttons. The projection shows the situation in the city. There are several occurrences that cannot be fully explained. This is unusual, It feels like it did in the past. Something is out of place here.)

(Rubbing my chin I look at the projection, Hitting a button zooming in on the city under siege. The Kwi's city has been over thrown by a group of humans convinced of their supremacy. The Humans feel it is their right to rule. Much of the humans leaders is unknown, Rumors of special aides to the governor on Dathomir have been said to be intricately involved in the current events and occurrences.)

(Something is pulling us here, Unlike the will of the Force. This could be a trap, But we can't risk the stakes as it is life. The situation seems to be fueled into a conflict. There is no chance for diplomacy now. Once again I find myself leading an attack, I am capable and I understand the Jedi are needed.)

(The armory was fully loaded on my flagship, Armor, Weapons, Vehicles, and the Republic troops are gearing up now. The time was drawing near, Zaos was absent as of yet. Who can blame him. We just returned from Dxun and the conflict there, To be put in a more dangerous situation. We must prepare, Much is on the line. Too much is at stake for errors. In war errors mean more needless death. We want to lead this conflict into quick solution, We will see. A shroud of Darkness covers Dathomir, The darkness could only mean one thing. The Jedi were being drawn us into this conflict...But by whom?)

"Out of the frying pan, and into the fryer."

[Zaos Felreave]

[Arrangements for a shuttle to meet up with Aeon whilst I prepared and rested up went swimmingly. Armorsmiths had been working on a synthetic armor, form-fitting and battle-ready. This was under my request of course, something I felt could be heavilly useful. The result was something very....flashy, I guess you could say, but the all around comfort level, and flexibility it came with was indeed far worth it. It was similar to what basic Troopers would wear while out on the field, though colored a silver-grey. Tailor's were also working on a new wardrobe for me, incorporating the same protection this battle-suit brought to me, but with less of an armor look to it, more casual in a sense.]

"Illuminative, this is Zaos Felreave, aboard Shuttle A237. Requesting permission to board."

[After several seconds of confirming identities and Security codes, a transmission was sent back as the doors for the shuttle were opened.]

"All codes verified, situation green. Welcome aboard the Illuminative Zaos."

[As the shuttle powered down, I threw my brown robes over the battle-suit, stepping out to be greeted by one of the Flagship's tenants. I followed him toward the Bridge, the Armorsmiths taking leave from the shuttle to return to their true station on the Flagship. I greeted Aeon with a low bow as I approached, crossing my hands in front of my chest, cupping each other in the sleeves of the robe.]

"Excuse my absense, some last minute business was needed to be taken care of. What is the exact situation, Master?"

[Aeon Kensho™]

"48 hours ago the capital city of the Kwi was sacked by a group of humans. Rumors circle the governor's aides, and during the conflict it was reported Jedi were aiding the humans. Even more troubling is that over 5,000 Kwi have been killed and the human extremist's are killing more as time passes. To say time is short is an under statement. The Kwi needed us two days ago. There is only one other Jedi Master in the galaxy that could help us. But he left the order years ago. Searching the outer rim, Much like Revan in the ancient days of the republic. Who is to say he would even help us if he got the hail. I feel it is up to you and me now."

(Pointing to the north end of the Island the city is located on. Bridges connect the Island to the mainland.)

"You will be leading the forward frontal attack. No doubt we are expect. Lets not disappoint our host's. We need to be cautious not to over extend ourselves. Likely the Sith will be very aggressive even though we are the attack. This could work to our benefit. We will set up defensive positions on the bridge and let them come to us. If we can make it to a position before the defenders, We could gain the upper hand."

"If we bottleneck one of the bridges on our side we would gain a strategical advantage. The only problem with that is we would lose too much ground. We must balance our actions. I say we will set an initial plan, But from there will both will need to think on our feet. There are three possible fronts. I will stay at our initial command center. From here I will lead my forces. You will have a good portion of troops directly under your control."

"The Island could prove vital to victory, But we must choose are places we want to fight from, Also as I said we must remain flexible to be able to bend to what the war demands. Remember Zaos mistakes in war means lives lost potentially on your hands, Try to novel let it weigh on your spirit. This can un-do even the strongest Jedi. We are our own savior or our own nightmare."

"I say you lead your force up the bridge nearest to us. By the time you near the exit likely you will be met by a defensive force. Remember Zaos try to not break form, You are the general not the solider. Let everyone play their part, And you shall do the same. They will do their job, and will shall do ours as well."

"Listen to the will of the Force and your own intuition Zaos. Trust in the will as I trust in you. I have great faith in you, And you have been a great apprentice. I see you have equipped yourself for the war. You have been well trained my apprentice, They won't know what hit them!"

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Looking at the map I rub my chin. The bridges would be key but to form a strategy for an attack from one front will be unlikely.)

"If the rumors are true then we might face generals bathed in war. But we must both keep our minds clear if we are to be able to respond with the sensitivity needed. I almost opt to wards one of us using the all the explosives to destroy one of the bridges. This would limit the fronts to two, The bridge and the beach. This could work to our advantage. It would take quick acting and precision timing to be able to pull it off. The risk might be too large."

"Never risk more than you are willing to lose."

"That is why I will lead the attack to the east bridge myself."

(Turning I stride off to the bridge and down the corridor. Troops move down to the bridge. The time is drawing near. The tension can be felt. The siege of Dathomir will begin shortly. Heading to our shuttle we pass all sorts of troops and workers. Reaching the elevator I hit the button, Waiting for the elevator I look over the preparations I had made. I had certain modifications to my belt. I did not prepare armor. In fact I am wearing my robes, I function the most efficiently with less restriction. But in my younger years I wore my fair share of armor. the doors slide open and I walk on turning back to face the doors, Crossing my arms inside of my sleeves.)

"I never thought I would see myself tamed down and where I am in the Jedi order. Every Jedi I had known had been murdered or seduced by the darkside. My master fell to the darkside himself. When he fell, He offered me to follow him. I decided not to follow. I never really was much of a follower, Unless it was the path of the Jedi."

(The doors slide open revealing I massive hangar bay. Filled with gunships preparing to make the run to the surface. We would have the gunships touching down as we enter with them via shuttle. The pilots and crew were preparing our Lambda-class shuttle for our trip to the surface. Walking across the floor the men get a perk to their step. There will be relief when we arrive.)

"We must move quickly to save what Kwi remain. The trip to the surface might be harrowing prepare yourself for the worst. And hope for the best."

(Walking up the loading dock I head to the seat behind the Captain Vatan. Vatan was a blond haired main, He had locks that curled around his headset. His co-pilot was a younger Mon Calamari. The co pilot is quite impressive with his piloting ability. I sat readying myself to reach the surface. The Shuttle lifts off flying free of my flagship the Illuminative. Flying along the moon we will not reveal our presence until necessary. We make our approach from behind the moon. The gunships begin to fly one by one behind our shuttle.)

[Hue Ran]

It was not something he had expected, neither was it something that he had predicted. His selfimposed exile was something he had to do. It was not that he did not believe in the Jedi it was not that his faith was broken, it was that he was broken. He needed time away from the power struggle and away from the fighting and the force. Of course he could never get away from the force, but he was of course able to get away from everything else.

Days ago he got a message, it was from Aeon, a very good friend of Hue's. He got the message, and right away he knew it was urgent. As the message played in front of his face he realized something. He left to try and hhelp himself to be a better Jedi, but instead he caused pain. He left, and because of his absence these things have once again flooded into the universe.

Hue knew what he had to do. He never sent a message back, but he knew he didn't have to. Aeon and himself had a connection and understood each other. Aeon would know that Hue was coming. Aeon would know.

Hue came to this planet on a single vessel, a citizen's tranportation, so his only way off was to either buy something or steall something. He had a friend in the mechanical shop and Hue left him a apologetic message explaining the situation and explaining that Hue will one day give it back. The V-19 Torrent starfighter was a beauty. His friend had worked on it for years preparing it for what, Hue didn't know. It would do HUe good though, it was a versatile aircraft.

He set off from the planet into the air. The open air. He had not flown in so long he was surprised he even remembered how. He was however a Jedi, he remembered everything from back then, even the things he wished not to remember.

His vessel crept closer to the planet that Aeon had specified. He followed the route that Aeon asked him to, keeping to the dark ends of the planet and eventually heading behind one of the moons. He found many many ships in front of him. The jedi Order crest on some of them. He remembered once wearing and praising the crest, that was when he first joined. A long time ago. Age had crept up on him now. He was not too old though. To him he was still in his prime.

He flicked a couple of buttons and opened up communication with the largest ship in the huddle.

"Excuse me, this is Hue Ran. I am hear on orders from Aeon himself. I request permission to land and have a audience with Aeon if at all possible."

[Aeon Kensho™]

(I sense something.......Could it be? I am certain, I know the presence intricately. Yet it is different some how. A message from my flagship plays.)

{Voice over intercom}-*" A transmission has come through to General Kensho. Shall we patch it through?"

(Giving a nod I pull my hood over my head as we fly away from the moon. Pulling my hood on I shield the glow from my glowing red eyes. My eyes were very light sensitive, As Chiss lived in tunnels under the snow. Chiss's eyes had evolved into a night vision, But Chiss eye are sensitive to the light as a swing factor. From under my hood I listen to a message.)

[glow=red,2,300]Hue Ran[/glow] "Excuse me, this is Hue Ran. I am here on orders from Aeon himself. I request permission to land and have a audience with Aeon if at all possible."

"Commander patch this message through to the rogue ship. I will be using a holo recorder."

(Turning I reach over an hit a blue button on a silver holo recorder/projecter, The center of the projector is a blue circle with a lens in the core.)

"Hue Ran I hoped you would be able to make it. The Situation is dire and we have devised a strategy, I will patch it through. Watch it on your decent. The battle field has three fronts. You will be assigned to the beach. You will have to mount an attack, Attempt to take the center Island. If it is compromised, Or your feelings guide your to do otherwise fall back and defend from the beach or improvise. I trust your judgment. Once you hit the ground, a portion of our troops will be under your command. This likely will be a bloody confrontation. My visions showed of Pain, Suffering,....Death. May the Force be with you Master Hue Ran."

(Hitting the button I finish the transmission, Feeling a turbulence I realize we are entering Dathomirs's atmosphere. Now was the time, I can sense the shroud of the Darkside covering this planet, Blinding my vision. The outcome was uncertain, But Jedi have a responsibility to protect and to use our power for good.)

(The blueish green glow fron the planet shines on to my hood. Some orbital shots fire as we enter the atmosphere. Swerving left, The pilots dodge the imcomming fire as we enter. The Mon Calamari works on angling the deflector shield for efficency. A orbital shot grazes by our shuttle, The shields are damaged. A beeping sound emitts accompanied by the flashing in front of the co-pilot.)

{OOC-Ok this is my last post before the war. Both of your post and we can begin once everyone is ready. Now Zaos is inactive I believe. Both of you will need to post daily as the 24 hour is in effect. If you don't post in the next 3-4 days-You will not take place in the war. The choice is up to you. Hopefully Zaos will post }

[Hue Ran]

"Hue Ran I hoped you would be able to make it. The Situation is dire and we have devised a strategy, I will patch it through. Watch it on your decent. The battle field has three fronts. You will be assigned to the beach. You will have to mount an attack, Attempt to take the center Island.

May the Force be with you Master Hue Ran."

He had feared as much. Aeon was right. Hue could already smell the blood that had been shed. Even as he started down into the atmosphere, even then he could smell the blood this war was going to shed. It was not a literal smell, it was just this feeling, something inside of him. He had his feelings and Aeon had his visions.

If only he had been here before this happened. He could have helped this planet. He was never to far. This exile was stupid, and he knew that now. It was a mistake. One he is going to fix. He will help this planet recover and take back there land. He would stop for anything.

He decided he wouldn't waste Aeon's time with a reply. He simply put in the coordinates of the beach and set the craft on autopilot. His craft started the descention towards the planet. His mind smooth and ready. He had been meditating when he received Aeon's message. His schedule in his exile consisted of many hours of meditation. It gave him much understanding and patience. Two very important factors to anything.

As he descended lasers crackled in the sky. All of them narrowly missing him.

"I guess this won't be a pleasant landing then."
