The Jehavey'ir received an update from her advance guard, before bringing her own, more powerful sensor suite online.

'Energy build-up detected - whoever they are, they're armed' reports a bridge officer aboard the warship.

The captain growled beneath his helmet. 'I don't care if they're Republic scum or not, bring us into the Wayland system. They must have seen our probes yesterday' he ordered. 'And bring the Pursuers aboard'

The three escorts docked with their mothership, which proceeded into the Wayland system.

"Captain, we've got no response from the Unknown ship(s)" Dominique Sadly stated.

*Sigh* "Damn. Cortana Arm the Archer Missiles, take the Safety of the Shiva Nukes. Tell the Venator to Launch Fighters, and the CR90s to set up an anti-fighter screen."

"Aye Captain. MAC fully Charged" The A.I. stated coolly.

The HMCS Iroquois Moved in between the CR90s, and the Venator moved below the Iroquois; awaiting the Madolorians

[Aelek]

-Korriban-
The shuttle and it's escorts arrive over Korriban. And the small group of ships asks permission to land.
The group is granted landing permission, and quickly begin the enter the atmosphere.

The shuttle, the two corvettes and the ten fighter escorts land, near the capital city of Dreshdae. A dozen of speeder bikes are unloaded from the corvettes, and Aelek, his two guards and nine other soldiers mount up, and ride out into the city to ask for information regarding temples.

They come to a cantina, and decide to stop for some refreshment. Aelek walks up to the bar and orders a drink. He then talks to the bartender as to where he could find someone who knows about a sith temple.
The bartender gives the hooded man some names, but also voices caution, because whatever it is he seeks, could very well kill him before he even gets to it. Aelek goes and sits down at a table, and after finishing his drink, leaves the cantina. Once outside he talks to his men, they get back on their speeder bikes and set off for the first person that the bartender mentioned.

Through the residual radiation and disturbance from the formation of the universe, the hails slowly arrive. The captain turns abruptly around and curls his lip at the typically diplomatic greeting message. He punches a button harshly and sends one back.

'Wayland is Mandalorian space, and YOU are a fleet of warships. Identify yourself, and beg the Force that you're not the filthy Republic cowards we so often have to help die'.

A Pursuer-class enforcer leaves the Jehavey'ir and accelerates to full speed towards the opposite end of the Wayland system, charging her hyperdrive.


On Coruscant, a few padawans get up from the floor of the main hall in the Jedi Temple. Chris didn't lose consciousness like his counterparts, nor did most of the Knights and Masters in the temple, but the sudden in-flux of life into the Galaxy - like the opposite of a death convulsion in the Force - had overwhelmed most of the younglings, padawans and a handful of Knights. He was already almost running towards the Council Chambers in search of his master.

[Aelek]

The group rides out of the city, and out towards a small town out in the desert. When the group finally reaches the town, Aelek starts asking where they can find the individual that they seek, a person named Sjevih. After a while of asking, someone finally knows who the group seeks, and gives them directions to where the individual is.

They go to the home of the person they seek, and before they even get within ten feet of the door, a woman steps out.
"Are you the group who's been asking about me around town?" the women asks.
"That depends" Aelek responds, "Are you Sjevih?"
"That depends on what it is you want" replied the women.
"We seek directions and a guide to take us to a sith temple, located somewhere on this planet" Aelek said.
"Well, good luck with that, there are many sith temples on this planet" the women said.
"Yes, but we're looking for what is probably the largest and most dedicated one" Aelek said.
"Well I don't know which temple that would be, but I can help you find someone that does" she said.
"Excellent, can you show us now?" he said.
"Only if I get to ride on one of those bikes, I don't have any other means of getting around" she finished.
"That can be done, let's go" Aelek finished.
They set back out for the capital city of Dreshdae, as the woman gave directions as to where the person who would know more is, who happened to be the second person on the list, given to Aelek by the bartender.

"This is Captain Jacob Keyes of the United Nat....... Royal British Empire. 75 Years ago, our world Jericho VII was caught in a Slipspace anomaly; we are not of this galaxy. Wayland has been under our control for many years. We mean you no harm, and regret charging our weapons. Stand Down and we shall not fire"

The Fleet stand's her ground

The Mandalorian captain briefly considers ordering an attack whilst their enemies weapons powered down, but despite his combative instinct he held it back, scheming. He didn't know what was going on here, but he knew full well that, before he woke up this morning, Wayland was in space held by the Mandalorians. Now there was a fleet claiming they had held sovereignty here for years and not only was it a sizeable group, there were ships not known to the Mandlorian Protectors - or the hacked Republic intelligence files they used for ship specs. A Venator was clearly visible, as well as several CR70s [20BBY ace ], but alongisde them, something completely alien.

'Impossible' he responds. 'If this system was yours, why are you conveniently arriving here now?' he says, stalling. The Pursuer jumps to hyperspace.

[Aelek]

They arrive in Dreshdae, and immediately head straight for the the second person on the list, but find that he is not at home.
"I know one more person, he should be at his house, and he knows every temple and every location of ruins that there is on this planet, if he can't help you, no one can" the woman said.
The person she suggested was not on the list of people given by the bartender, reluctantly Aelek decided to go to this individual.
Aelek turned to the woman on the speeder bike and said, "Where to then?".
"Follow" she quickly replied.
They set out going west from the city.

"Hey, I'm just following Orders" Captain Keyes Responds, "this ship's crew just got out of Cryo Sleep and I'm just following the Orders from the Admiralty"

"If I may but in here Captain," Dr. Cathrine Halsey stated, talking to the mandolarians "Perhaps there was a Space-Time anomaly from the Gravity Well? Maybe We're from you future or vise-verse?"

'I don't recall addressing the civilian' the armour-clad captain responded. 'We will not be moved from this system' he stated, plainly, fingering the holster by his side.


The Pursuer exits hyperspace over Mandalore, relaying messages from Jehavey'ir which couldn't yet penetrate subspace. A group of ships quickly moves away from the planet, and enters hyperspace.

[Darthme]

-Thule-

The Destroyer exits the Warp Rift with the same flicker as before.  It sets a course for the planet and sends out a signal of peaceful intentions.  All weapons are powered down so that anyone scanning the ship would know that it is not there to start trouble.

"Then we are at an Impasse, sir." Captain Keyes states regretfully."Cortana, Put all Power to the Weapons, and the maneuvering thrusters. Dominique, Cut All communications. Prepare to fire on my mark."
 
The lone Venator launches 100 V-19 Torrents, and 20 ARC-170 Fighters to Harass the Mando Fleet while the Iroquois gets a Firing Solution.

[Aelek]

-Thule-
Unidentified ship of Venator-Class, state your intentions.
-Korriban-
The group comes to a small moisture farm, about seven kilometers West of Dreshdae.
"The man who taught me about all of the sith artifacts and ruins lives here" the women said.
Aelek walks down a set of stairs, but lets the woman lead them inside the farm.
"Yorgen, it's Sjevih, where are you?" she asked.
"In the kitchen" a voice replied.
"There you are, Yorgen, these people require your assistance" she said.
"What they need help with?" Yorgen asked.
"Finding a certain sith temple, we believe it may be the most important one to the sith, but we just don't know which one it is" Aelek speaks up.
"I can do that, but it's going to cost you" Yorgen said, "I don't have much around here to do other than take care of the evaporators, after we're done, you're gonna help me get something I need".
"Whatever it is, we can do it" Aelek said.
They walked up to the top, and Aelek climbed on his speeder bike his two guards on each of their own.
"We'll come back later with more supplies" Aelek said.
Aelek and His guards ride off, leaving a speeder bike at the Yorgen moisture farm.

Sirens ring out aboard the lone Dreadnaught.

'They better hurry up' the captain spits, as the remaining 2 enforcers and a single squadron of 12 Belbullab-22 starfighters spill out of the Dreadnaught's small hangar. The Dreadnaught starts an about-turn, and the group retreats towards the star of the Wayland system.

[Aelek]

The group of three make it back to the shuttle, and load everything back up. The shuttle, the two CR70s, and the ten starfighters move to the Yorgen moisture farm, to make transport simpler. They arrive at the moisture farm and once the ship lands, they begin offloading supplies.

[aceofhicks]

"Have the CR70 engage the Fighters, and have the Venator back them up!" Keyes Barks. "Ensign Lovell, trail that Dreadnaught"

"Firing Solution Ready, Jacob!" Cortana announces.

"Alright, launch a Shiva Nuke, and Fire 12 Archer Missile pods" Keyes Ordered

The 31 Missile streak across the night sky, headed towards the Mandolorian Dreadnaught

(I hope your ship has point defense)

'Sir, 31 missiles on scopes - almost archaic - hydrogen fusion warheads sir' a warfare officer reports.

'Hmph' the captain grunts. 'Archaic or not, I'd rather save our shield strength for when they catch up with us. You know the drill' he says, as the bridge lights dim and battlestations are signalled.

25 concussion missile pods open, and 25 small concussion missiles erupt from them, and speed to intercept the incoming shiva and archer missiles.

The small fighter contingent sticks close to the Dreadnaught.


Outside the system, 5 more Dreadnaughts arrive, and power to full thrust.


Chris finds Master Obi-Wan just leaving the High Council Chambers. Before he can ask the question, his master already starts speaking.

'We're not sure what is happening yet. Reports are only beginning to arrive' his master said calmly but barely concealing his concern. He follows silently to the Temple Hangars.

[Aelek]

-Korriban-
Yorgen comes up from his underground home, and Sjevih comes over to the ships from working on one of the evaporators.
"We all set to go now?" yorgen asked.
"Yes, we are" Aelek said, "Provided you know which temple we're looking for".
"I have a good idea as to which one you're looking for", said Yorgen, "I believe it's in the Valley of the Dark Lords".
"Then let's go, we don't have much time before it's night" Aelek said.
Aelek motioned at several soldiers to begin unloading the speeder bikes again. Once unloaded, Aelek, his two personal guards, six soldiers, Yorgen, and Sjevih mounted up on their speeder bikes, and set out for the valley.

"Jacob, Our Shiva and 23 Archers were taken out by their own missiles" Cortana stated

"Alright, hopefully the other 7 will make impact" Captain Keyes muttered.

"Sir! Five more Contacts! Same Class as the one we're engaged with!" Ensign Lovell Screams

"Damn! Cortana, Fire the MAC guns at the First Ship. Have the Second shot fire 10 Seconds after the First, so hopefully, the shields will be down for the second impact" Keyes calmly uttered.

"Aye. MACs firing!" The blue A.I. said mater-of-factly.

Because of the Sheer power of the Two Guns being fired, the Iroquois shook, and her lights went dim for a few seconds after each shot.

[Aelek]

The group arrives at the Valley of the Dark Lords, where it's almost sunset.
"It's going to get dark here, cold as well" Yorgen said.
"Then perhaps you should get us inside into the temple" Aelek replied.
"Well, what you're actually looking for is not a temple, but rather, the Sith Academy" Yorgen said, "There are actually very few temples on Korriban, most of the sith structures are tombs, but the most important structure to them, was the Sith Academy, this is where we should start".
Yorgen points at a large building carved into the side of the canyon with statues on it, one of which is ruined.
"This is where we shall start, I'll lead the way for you" Yorgen said, carrying a lamp.

Because of the Sheer power of the Two Guns being fired, the Iroquois shook, and her lights went dim for a few seconds after each shot.

The remaining missiles bar one thread through a hail of laser fire and impact the Dreadnaught's shields, exploding in colourful arcs of light against the invisible bubble.

The ship shakes from the impact, but the shields negate most of the damage.

The warfare officer on defences reports in.

'The warheads are powerful, sir, but have little in the way of ion disruptuon effect against our shiel-' The first MAC round impacted the shields as she spoke, and a few monitors flickered.

'EVASIVE MANEUVRES - DROP ALL THRUSTERS AND STABILISERS' the captain orders immediately. The engines, thrusters, stabilisers and dampeners aboard the ship are all de-activated, using the nearby star's gravity to quickly maneuvre the vessel out of the path of the second MAC round. As the ship 'drops' towards the star, the second round skims the top of her hull, leaving a cylindrical gash down her hull where it carved through as it penetrated the weakened shields. Bulkheads seal as a few armour-clad Mandalorians are sucked into space, and begin drifting towards the star.

'What in the Mand'alor's name was that?' he demanded.

'A large kinetic round' answered the officer, climbing off the floor and re-manning his station. 'Hyperaccelerated. Not in itself highly effective against our shields, but if a shot gets through-' she reports, trailing off the sentence, looking disheartened.

The engines come back online and the vessel maneouvres around the star, putting its coronosphere between it and the enemy fleet.

The reinforcements proceed in a loose formation from the other side, advancing on the rear of the former UNSC warship and her escorts, and launch their squadrons of Belbullabs.
