Aria ignored the Jedi talking about Ryloth as she and Broo focused on bringing the Black Ruby out of hyperspace and to a landing platform. The drop out was smooth, and Aria piloted the craft to the planet. She examained it critically. "Broo, check the scanners. I think this is the opposite side of the Temple."
The Wookie did so. This is the right side, he growled.
Aria sighed. "Darn." Then she heard Rhyssa tell her to radio the Temple. She grimaced, but did so, mostly because she heard the faint panic in the Jedi's voice. "Channel's open," she muttered to the Jedi, then in a louder voice, said, "Jedi Temple, this is Captain Aria of the Black Ruby. I have with me Master Rhyssa, who requests that you send a Republic fleet to Ryloth ASAP."

**Kairu** · 01-11-2012, 11:07 PM

"Roger that Captain. We await the unloading of the Master Jedi. We are sending you the docking procedures. Failure to comply will result in detainment. The Jedi Council also permits you to resupply and refuel, if you wish," a Jedi voiced on the other end of the channel. "Jedi Temple out. Rhyssa pointed out an available hangar location and started walking Aria through the procedures.

**Mysterie** · 01-11-2012, 11:09 PM

Alyva closed her eyes, waiting for the telltale nausia that meant land. She sighed. "I hate landing...."

**HyrulianBlackcat** · 01-12-2012, 12:15 AM

Aria followed Rhyssa's instructions and landed in the open hanger. She put done the docking legs and opened the hanger doors, then turned to her passengers. "Everybody off. And I'll expect my pay." Broo exited to secure supplies, but Aria refused to leave.

**Kairu** · 01-12-2012, 12:18 AM

Rhyssa turned to Aria one last time. "Thank you very much, Captain. It's unfortunate you don't want to help out. You'd be a valuable asset to us. May the Force be with you," she said bowing politely to her savior. She walked off the Black Ruby and signaled for the cargo to start being loaded.

**Mysterie** · 01-12-2012, 04:03 PM

Alyva stood slowly, then nodded to Aria. "Thank you, Captain. May the Force be with you always." She left the ship and went to make her report.

**HyrulianBlackcat** · 01-12-2012, 04:58 PM

Aria crossed her arms, feeling grouchy as she always did while on Corsaunt. As the two Jedi gave her their traditional blessing, she muttered, "Don't believe in the Force. Even if I did, I doubt it would do anything for someone like me." As the group filed off, she stayed in her chair. As soon as everyone was off, she went into the hold and grabbed her cleaning supplies. She then proceeded to scrub every trace of the Jedi from her ship.

Timelapse - One and a half hours

Coruscant - Jedi Temple

Rhyssa was on a balcony overlooking a landing platform and was above the hangar Aria and Broo were stationed at a few hours earlier. She felt the Jedi Council had started to alienate her "Jedi" status. But she was glad that they didn't ask about her quick touch of the Dark Side, and more thankful Alyva didn't rat her out about it either. She looked up at the sky which started getting dark. She supposed that it was time to get onto her next mission. The Jedi Council gave her a new fleet to figure out what is happening at Ryloth. She started to navigate through the halls of the Jedi Temple where she reached the same landing platform. She got a ride to the shipyards and she entered her new command ship, "Valorous". She entered the bridge and awaited for the final preparations to be complete.

Ryloth - Ravasa Wreckage

CT-5483 and his squad were in the hangar. He was modifying the engine output to better suit his needs. He started her up and she purred like a cat. He was most impressed and thrilled. "There, now the Seppies will have a harder time catching up with us."

Ryloth - Orbit

Severance was sleeping in his quarters until a communicator went off in his room. He answered it, "This had better be important," mumbles with irritation in his voice.
"Sir, an incoming message from General Grievous," a droid responded.
"Very well, send it to the observation platform," Severance said, still rather irritated. "What does that baffoon want?" He mocked.
Severance arrived on the observation platform where he was alone, the planet of Ryloth in the background of the windows.
"Captain Severance," the hologram of General Grievous said appearing from the emitter. "I've been thinking," and the General had a coughing fit, "I feel like Count Dooku isn't... how to say.... fit to lead the Confederacy anymore. I feel like he's lost trust in many of the commanders and captains of the Confederacy. I believe it's time to neutralize him," Grievous said wickedly.
"General Grievous, suppose I do agree to this, how do you propose we do this? We are put two pawns in this war. Surely we cannot overcome the King as two pawns," Severance, who relished in the idea, was concerned about this point.
"You forget, I'm Commander of the entire Droid Army. They will listen to me, before they will Count Dooku. We can ambush him on Raxus. You will be in charge of the space assault. I've seen your latest reports, you're very capable. When we secure orbit, I will lead the ground assault. Capture Dooku, and we will execute him. We will then seize control of the Confederacy and lead us into victory over the Jedi," Grievous said, now seemingly getting carried away.
"General, have you thought on it any about how we will justify this course of action with the Parliament? You know as well as I do, that they won't stand by and watch their respected leader be uselessly murdered," Severance said, still debating General Grievous.
"Why, you seem to have enough knowledge of politics to take his spot. Just think of it, Severance Trask, leader of the Confederacy," Grievous said now boosting Severance's ego.
"And if this goes through, how will I know you won't betray me?" Severance said, now authoritatively.
"Captain.... when this is over, you'll be a hero. I only wish to see the Jedi die. Dooku was once a Jedi you know. He is becoming soft like the Jedi Order. You on the other hand. Willing to do a Base Delta Zero to make a point. We need a leader like that," Grievous said almost mockingly.
"How do you know...," Severance said furious at this fact.
"I have sources. Don't forget, I still control the droid army," Grievous taunted, "When you're done killing innocent Twi'leks, give me your reply."
The hologram of General Grievous faded away with the emitter turning off.
"Unit 48281, what's the fleet's status?" Severance asked.
"We're almost set, should be about another half hour, Sir," the droid replied.
"Keep me updated," Severance said, cutting the comm. He walked up to the window and looked out at Ryloth. 'In 24 hours time, this planet will be nothing but slag.'

**Mysterie** · 01-12-2012, 09:32 PM

Alyva headed to her quarters to pack for yet another diplomatic mission, sighing. "I need a vacation...."

Rialle looked around, curious. He saw a small red button on a small panel above CT-5483's head. "Wha's that? Can Isa push it?"

**Kairu** · 01-12-2012, 09:46 PM

Rhyssa turned to the ship's captain. "Captain, Henry, have the final preparations been completed?" she inquired.
"Yes General, we're ready for departure," the Republic Captain said.
"Good, take us into orbit and rendezvous with our fleet."
Several minutes passed but the Valorous was in orbit getting into hyperspace formation. The Valorous took it's spot at the point of the formation.
"Signal the other ships to start going to hyperspace. Give them these coordinates," which Rhyssa made were to the outer edge of Ryloth's gravity well.
The ships jumped to hyperspace bound for Ryloth.

Ryloth - Ravasa Wreckage

CT-5483 looked back to Rialle, "All it does is triggers emergency lighting. Nothing special. All the major controls and buttons are up here with me. Now hold on tight, we're going for a test fly." And CT-5483 let the gunship hover for a moment off the hangars floor. He then pressed the throttle forward and the gunship moved forward with it. "Woohoo! I miss being in the air!" He then took it for a flight around the Ravasa then the Black Fist.

**Mysterie** · 01-12-2012, 10:00 PM

Rialle yelped, crashing into the back wall as he was thrown off balance.

**Kairu** · 01-12-2012, 10:41 PM

CT-5483 was super happy about being in the air. He flew around the Black Fist again, and shot some of the lasers at parts of the ship. "Weeeeeeeee!" he exclaimed

**HyrulianBlackcat** · 01-13-2012, 12:31 AM

The Black Ruby hung in orbit over Corosaunt. Aria leaned back in her chair, deliberating. While she did have cargo to deliever, she wouldn't lose much for delievering it late, and she was early at the moment anyways. Broo wanted to see if the Jedi's concerns about Ryloth were grounded. Normally, Aria would rather not have anything to do with the Jedi, but she was also a touch curious.
More than a touch, she amended to herself. If the Jedi were really that concerned, something bad must be happening. And if something bad happened, chances were she could make more money off the Jedi. Finally decided, she turned to Broo. "So do you already have the coordinates to Ryloth, or were you waiting for me to say yes?" The Wookie grinned as she powered up the ship. A few minutes later, they made the jump to hyperspace.

**Kairu** · 01-13-2012, 12:53 AM

Timelapse - 30 minutes

Severance was still on the observation platform of the Lynx when a droid broke through the intercom.
"Sir, a Republic fleet has just left hyperspace at the edge of the gravity well. They're on an attack postulate. What are your orders?"
"Have one of the control ships intercept the Republic fleet. Keep them off of us for as long as possible," Severance replied casually, now seeing the Republic fleet from the corner of the window.
Suddenly the turrets of the Seperatist fleet open fired on Ryloth. Thousands upon thousands of red laser beams filled Ryloth's atmosphere. Smoke could be seen already emerging from the civilized areas. A droid control ship managed to thrust itself between the Republic fleet and the Lynx. Caught off-guard, Rhyssa ordered deflector shields to be raised and fire at the ship.
"Deploy our bombers with fighter escorts. Have them punch through the control ship towards the Lynx," Rhyssa ordered. As instructed the fighter/bomber squadrons flew past the Republic fleet to attack the Lynx. To counter, the control ship activated it's fighters to counter. Rhyssa remained at the front of the bridge. Captain Henry, however when to the tactical map.
"General, it seems the Seperatists are performing a global bombardment. With that much firepower they'll melt the surface. We need to stop them before they do too much damage," Henry said.
"Tell the fleet to break formation. Have them pick their targets and open fire. Tell them our objective is to destroy the fleet, no matter the cost," Rhyssa said, still focusing on the control ship. He thoughts were concerned about Sky who was still likely trapped in the downed Seperatist cruiser.

Ryloth - Surface

As if on cue, Sky awoke in the Black Fist's infirmary. He was completely unaware of what happened. He saw destroyed droids all around him and he tried piecing together anything, but his mind was blank. He picked up a droids blaster and proceeded towards the hangar. He felt the ground shake and the ship shattering and falling around him. He eventually made it to the hangar and ran into the sun at Jedi speed. CT-5483 saw him running and dropped the gunship ahead of him. Two of the clones signaled him to get aboard. Recognizing them as clones, he trusted them and climbed aboard. CT-5483 tried one more time to hail any Republic ships.

"This is CT-5483. There is a Republic squad of clones on the surface. We are under heavy fire! To any ships in the sector, please respond!"

Feeling hopeless he sat back and awaited for the "no response" feeling. Suddenly a voice broke through the static.
"This is Captain Henry of the Republic Attack Cruiser, "Valorous". We acknowledge your hail. We're in orbit, feel free to join the battle," and a set of coordinates appeared on CT-5483's visor. He got on the intercom for the cargo hold, "Boys, the cavalry has arrived!" All the other clones started cheering.

**HyrulianBlackcat** · 01-13-2012, 10:22 AM

Aria and Broo exited hyperspace just outside of the battle. Aria yelped as a stray laser went by the Black Ruby and set the ship into a zig-zag pattern. Broo checked the scanners and told her that a droid command ship was engaged with the Republic fleet. Others Seperatist ships were getting into bombing formation. Aria swore. "If they bomb the planet, they'll destroy it. Broo, charge up the laser cannons. I might not be for the Republic, but I'll be damned if I let those fiends get away with desecrating a planet like that."
