Ship Registration Office

[Talia Lenora]

Talia was stood in line waiting to hand in her application form. News from the holonet was being blasted around the queue with public service announcements on how Mandalorians could join up and fight for their empire. Talia ignored this for quite a while, she had no involvement in a war and it would not effect her in the slightest. So registering her ship should still not be a problem, or so she thought. After standing in the queue for over an hour in the small corridor, a squad of Mandalorian Police entered with batons and began dragging non-Mandalorian's from the line including aliens and those without citizenship forms.

Talia stopped where she was and sure enough, one of the policemen grabbed her arm to try and drag her away. Using the force to anchor herself, she did not budge at all, no matter how hard he tugged. With her smiling at him and his friends laughing at his lack of strength, he attempted to hit her with the baton. With the weapon falling towards her with a great deal of speed, she grabbed the baton with her left hand and used it for support as she kick the guard in the chest with her right leg. Realising that her ship probably wouldn't get registered any time soon, she continued to attack until the police officer was on the floor. With the rest of the squad now descending upon her, she brought out her lightsaber and ignited it's blue blade, destroying the batons and keeping the guards from coming close to her. Looking around slowly, she took in her surroundings and began to look for an exit.

Swirling her lightsaber around, it's blade deflected four bolts in one go and with a twirl, she deflected another two headed her way. With her other hand, she grabbed and slung back several Manda. lorians, it seemed that everyone was turning against her here. Reaching to her belt, she grabbed a thermal detonator and activated it. Throwing it with the force, it sped out at an impossible speed and against some sealed doors which was now preventing her from escaping. With a huge bang, the doors flew away and the explosion knocked over several people. Running forwards, she continued deflecting bolts with her blade. Within moments she was out of the building and sprinting out towards the landing platform. It took a couple of minutes, even running, but she got there and connected to a docking arm was the huge Class VI Freighter. Once a powerful warship from some war, it had begun to rot until Talia came across it heading towards the sun in the Crustai system. Recovering the ship from certain destruction, she managed to carry it far enough away from continuing to be burnt up and had begun repairs on it herself. Although not a skilled mechanic, she earned enough credits to get it professionally repaired and new systems were added eventually in order of the most essential. The hyperdrive took to ship months to travel what would usually take just less than a week, but eventually that was replaced and so was all of the nav-computers etc. Made to be able to be piloted by two, she had the ship engineered around use by one pilot and what she needed two people to do could be made effective by use of the force.

Leaping up the docking arm to save time, she entered the keycode while balancing onto the rugged arm, with Mandalorian's now chasing her onto the platform, bring their weapons to bear, she leaped within and the door sealed her within. Within the cockpit, repulsors were set to full and the engines begin to ignite into life. The docking arm was a struggle at first to break from, but soon enough that was broken in half and the ship begun to swoop into the sky, slowly making more and more progress. Because of the size of the ship, it was a slow journey, especially in this thick gravity. With weapons engaged onto targets, the ship became alive with the sound of laser batteries opening fire. This might not be enough, but the force was with her this day, she could escape from this.
