Delso resumed his usual spot on the Omen's command bridge.

Delso: Admiral, follow your orders.

[Dan Zorko]

Dan was still on the Black Talon when alarms started sounding.

"Sir! We have reports of ships dropping out of hyperspace! Not ours!"

The fleet was already in battle position, due to the fact that Galor had come to them and there was a possibility of the Republic chasing him.

Dan cried: "Here they come! Get ready to send the Republic back to-"

"Sir, um, it's not the Republic. its the Mandolorians!"

"What? Well... Ok then! All ships, prepare to defend Taris!"

All of Dan's forces, minus the 6th Support Fleet, was in orbit around Taris. The Taris Defense fleet joined up with them as a last line of defense to the planet.

A cloud of starfighters spilled out of ships everywhere, and formed up among the capital ships. All the capital ships took up blockading positions on the planet.

On the ground, all defense troops were deployed, and the 5th Ground Force had taken up defensive positions, ready to fight for their planet.

Dan opened up a line to his forces: "This is Admiral Zorko. Today, you may be fighting for your planet. Do not let them through. Do not let them take our home. Fight! Fight for your liberty!" A ralling cry was taken up throughout the bridge. "And, may the Force be with us all."

Dan ended his communication, and opened up a line with the Mandalorians. "This is Admiral Zorko calling the Mandalorian Fleet."

[Galor Iram]

Galor dropped his freighter out of hyperspace on the dark side of Taris, and saw the bright lights of the 116th SFSG there. But something caught his eye, the soft glow of engines. They shouldn't be moving the ships from this safe territory, what had happened? Checking his scanners, he saw nothing except a large pirate force, so he decided to head to the Star Destroyer to take command.

A frantic thirty minutes had passed and he had been escorted to the bridge of the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer, where he would issue commands to his new fleet. The moment he stepped upon the bridge he knew what was happening, the sensor screens were highlighted in a flow of new colours, obviously Mandalorian identification. The Pirate fleet had enveloped Taris in a defensive layer and was actively beginning to set up protective defenses for the planet, to repel the invasion. With the special forces support fleet now cruising at a steady speed towards the Mandalorian's and the closest position within the allied lines of the Black Moon Pirates, things looked grim. Galor turned to the gentle footsteps of the General, Marcus Garda, a human from Duro. "It looks like we have trouble ahead already, and we haven't even decided on the next course of action" Galor stated, knowing full-well that the introductions hadn't begun. "Sir, i suggest we leave the battle and pick up the special forces" The admiral suggested in a firm voice. "No, without these Pirates' help, i wouldn't have gotten to Fondor alive. They've shown us great respect and courage, time to give them help when they most need it". "Yes Sir!" came the almost robotic reply. That was the thing Galor loved about the elite, they was happy when they had their orders.

[Dan Zorko]

"Sir! Another fleet on scanners! It seems that Admiral Iram has brought back the 116th!"

"Good." said Dan "Open a line with the Nebula, it appears that he has taken control of his fleet."

When comm had been opened, he said "Admiral, I'm not going to demand that you stay. This fight isn't your problem. But I am formally requesting your assitance in case this turns into a battle."

[Galor Iram]

Galor was surprised that he had been given the option to running away, these Pirates obviously didn't know that the 116th had the elite from all sectors of the Republic military and supported the Special Forces themselves. Highly trained and equipped, battle was in their blood. "Understood Admiral, but we are here to help. But i do suggest that my fleet spread out into small clusters, with one large mass and the Mandalorian's not knowing that the 116th deserted, they will think the Republic sent their elite to fight them". Galor Iram noticed that the orders were already been swept throughout the bridge and he had a slight smile on his face. He hadn't saw a crew this controlled and active for a long time, they seemed to be happy that a fight could happen, now they were probably praying for it to start. Galor turned his head to observe the rest of the crew while he finished his sentence, knowing that these were definitely the elite, they all worked in perfect timing.

[Dan Zorko]

"Agreed. Wait for my order to fire, I'm trying to establish contavt the Mando's. And Admiral, thank you."

OOC:Sirry, not much to say until Triton posts

[Galor Iram]

OOC: No problem

---

With the special forces laid out in a thin line throughout the pirate ranks, it seemed that the silence would last forever. Galor turned to General Marcus Garda, to discuss the plan of action. "I think the best thing for us to do now is to wait for the Mandalorians to make the first move. Once the first wave against us is obliterated, we condense our forces together into a spearhead and shoot straight into the Mandalorian lines, leading the pirates all over the battle to do the same and breaking up the enemy formation". "Agreed," said the general, "Once we have broken the enemy formation they shall be easier to deal with. I'm sure these pirates have gone into battle often and although i wouldn't like to fight on their side every time, i must admit that the experience is a welcome change from the Republic Fleet". Galor nodded his head, knowing exactly what the General meant. Too many times, Galor Iram had lead the Republic Fleets only to find them inexperienced and at worst, not knowing what to do in the heat of combat. It made the Republic look shabby and it had been his personal duty to change that, that is why he rallied all of the fleets to Onderon. They needed the experience.

[Dan Zorko]

OOOC: TRITON!

[Tsae Daois]

Out of hyperspace dropped the Nos, and her two Imperial-I Destroyer escorts, on the opposite side of the planet from where the standoff was underway. Tsae walked over to the viewscreen.

"This is not good. . .Look at this! Pirates and. . .Wait a moment." He looked closer into the ships. "Well look what we have here. Seems that we have republic ships within the pirates." The Pau'an said as he spotted the Republic ships in the midst fleet of Black Moon's. Tsae's eyes shifted over, then he saw it.

The Mandalorian fleet, it was quite large, this was too big a battle for his paultry force of three ships. If things got hectic, he would have to call in some sort of help, or he could always run. This was a bad situation, he could have been detected already, or he could be spotted shortly. He waited and watched as the ships moved and maneuvered amongst themselves.

[Dan Zorko]

OOC: What type of ship is the Nos? A Imp-class star destroyer?

[Tsae Daois]

(IMP II)

[Dan Zorko]

OOC: Yeah, I just read your profile. Pardon my stupidity. Thanks for moving this along.

IC: "Sir! 3 Republic Ships on scanners!"

"Have they seen the 116th?"

"Unknown sir."

Dan felt a cold chill run down his spine. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Open up a line with that Imp-Star Deuce." He waited until the line was opened with the ship. "This is Admiral Zorko calling the leader of the Republic battle group. Why are you here?"

[Habo Bralen]

OOC: I could help Krant suggested, I could be a clan leader and even if, I'm not my guy has a habit of breaking orders and over ruling hjigher ranked officers in battle.

[Tsae Daois]

As he heard the mans voice, Tsae brought his hand to his forhead, now he had to negotiate, lovely.

"This is newly appointed Grand Admiral Tsae Daois. We are here to investigate reports of agression against the planet, obviously these reports were true." he looked at the comm and began again "Would you mind explaining what you are doing with Republic ships in your fleet?" he said with his crackley voice. He watched his men work at their stations, Please don't get violent, I don't want to have to file paperwork. he thought.

[Habo Bralen]

Habo's eye's scanned the Black pirate fleets for any sign of weakneess knowing no doubt the Delso would be doing the same.

He spotted new republic ships slowly and inconspicously moving among the fleets."Well boys looks like we have some three republic ships trying to give there pirate friends some aid how bout we give them a friendly nudge in the other direction"

There were smirks and afew chuckles of agreement. and calls of "Saddle up!" as men ran to get the equipment and basilisk droids.

Habo's Basilisk droids were styled in the older animal style rather than a starfighter he found although starfighters were smaller and more maenuovaeroble with a few adjustments like making jets and higher withstanding space pressure you could do a hol lot more damage both in space and ground with an animal droid.

Habo looked around at his 200 hundred as he climbed onto his droid and letting loose a battle cry they swerved towards the three incoming republic ships.

there was a bus of his link with the centre Habo Bralen you do not have permission to engange! repeat you do no... Habo cut the link off and talked through his link to his droid and every one else in his small 200 elite

On my order, I want the first ten squads with me and open up all lines of fire, the rest of you I want to sneak around to either side of the ships 50 each should do and attack from the sides with claws, cannons in swift sweeps you do not engange! Just swift sweeps let your comrades heading in the opposite direction of you take down any followers. Alright gentlemen lets show Delso what real men do!

There was a cheer and animal likes roars from the droids as they went to carry out there orders.Ready aim Fire!
