Kardan was honestly agitated now. . .where were they coming from?! Did he have to go supernova on this place?! Anyway, he had an Idea. He took his Comm and spoke into it. "Reap your rewards boys. . ." The Crusader gunship rose into the sky and began to open fire on all around them. Laser fire smashing into the ground around Hammond's men like searing rain. Debris fell from the impact of the lasers, and as the air support came close in, the ship directed 3 cannons at the pesky Imperial leftovers.

OOC: Yay.. My men! (Not elite ones, hopefully...) And what kind of ship is the crusader? IC: The stormtroopers were shaken by the rain of fire that was directed at them. Many fell as the searing bursts tore through their armour, but others managed to take cover beneath the durasteel platform, or by rolling away from the cannonfire. Still, there were far too many stormtroopers for the main objective to be forgotten, and they reiniciated fire against Kardan's men. Unfortunately for Kardan's gunship, Bastion had not been the Remnant's capital for millenia for no reason. The entire planet was bristling with hidden weaponry, tactically deployable units, and any number of anti-aircraft weaponry and anti-mech guns in order to repel any assault on Bastion. Now, they were put into play. Two missile launchers quickly locked on to the ship, and fired a burst of small, rapid missiles. Quickly, 4 TIE Fighters engaged, firing ruthlessly against the small cruiser ( ). That had been a bad move: As the aircraft remained aloof for longer, more and more of the planet's formidable weapons would be brought to bear against it. Even now, Imperial Officials had already set up a Star Destroyer above the Palace, to capture anyone who might try to escape. OOC: I think the main entrance is blocked now, right, since you took the time to blow it to the ground?

OOC: I was reading about it last night, didn't expect to but i was looking through different manufacturers on wookiepedia. It's a frigate made by CEC i believe that can pilot itself. The engineers used a centuries old computer brain which they fixed into the ship to save time in learning everything from scratch. It already had combat experience and learned how to fly very quickly. The engineers input three rules to keep the frigate in check.
1. Protect innocent lives 2. Carry out orders if it doesn't conflict with the above 3. Protect itself if it doesn't conflict with the above two
Rumours say that because of it being such a success and passing everything to a stunning degree, the engineers attempted to copy the computer so that they could begin mass-production of the ship. The ship apparently considered this a threat to itself under rule three and escaped, fleeing into hyperspace. Rumours suggest that people stranded in space who call for help are occasionally rescued by a ship matching it's description.

OOC: oooh... nice. Well, you get to shoot down my missiles I guess. Suppose I'll just have to get out the blaster cannons

OOC:Hmm. . .Time to pull a Sorroco hehe.
The point-defense systems activated as the missiles hurtled toward the ship, then were shot to pieces. The ship quickly opened fire on the TIE/In's streaking in. Since anti-fighter duty was this ship's main function, they were immediatley shot down out of Bastion's skies. Knowing that this was not going well, the ship's crew decided to open fire on the palace, extract the Mercs and Kardan. Then promptly, make a hard burn to somewhere safe. Although the AA-Guns would make that a little difficult. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Kardan and his men were crouched behind a pillar that used to hold an imperial banner, now largley this banner was a firey cloth. They smiled when they heard the Stormtroopers scream and die, music to their ears. They occasionally popped up to open fire, or to lay down some blind-fire, taking down about 6 troopers since they came out of the building. This was not going well, at all.

The anti-aircraft weaponry in the palace was fully armed now, and ready to fire. Set in multi-level emplacement, they could fire at gunships at various angles. Furthermore, the guns did not only consist of powerful blaster tetracannons, but some were armed with explosive bullets: Slower than a laser, definitely, but still very fast, and with the bonus of putting great strain on a larger area of the shield. By firing these bullets first, the probability that the shield would be weakened enough that the blaster fire could punch through was greatly increased.
A blistering fire was immediately directed at the battle cruiser, consisting of small missiles, blaster shots and explosive bullets. Soon, the sky was filled with rays of light as the guns opened fire.
On the ground, the troopers had halted their advance momentarily, engaging whatever mercenaries were foolish enough to stick their heads out from their pathetic hideout.
Due to the prolonged battle, more and more elements in the Imperial Defense Garrison were being alerted. The Garrison commanders deemed it prudent to provide mechanized support to the troopers: 2 AT-STs were to be carried their by Lambda Shuttles due to the extremely large casualties suffered by the Palace Guards - over 54 guards were dead, and some 14 were wounded.

The lady swung down and lowered the landing ramp as the surviving men got on, this would be a close one now. All of the anti air fire was draining the shields. The ship flew up into the air, then fired off 5 missiles into the palace, leveling almost all of the building, they then took off to the south side of the planet, keeping high as to avoid anti-air.
OOC:Sorry for the escape. . .had little else to do lol.

OOC: Wow... you think five missiles will be enough to level the palace??? You got the wrong empire, man... Hehehehe.
IC: The five missiles soared towards the palace. Reacting speedily, three of the missiles were shot down, but the remaining two struck. Debris flew everywhere, taking down a parapet, leaving the durasteel plating that was beneath the palace walls, and denting it.
"They are gone. Do not pursuit, repeat, do not pursuit."
Those remaining mercs would soon learn that the Remnant was not to be messed with.
OOC: Yea... guess you're right.

Something else lurked in the palace. A shadow made it's way through the marble columns and durasteel busts of the former emperor.
Kavar appeared as a spector of the force behind Hammond and waited silently for him to turn.
