Lok

[Galor Iram]

The 116th Special Forces Support Fleet moved out of hyperspace straight into formation. The surrounding system was dull and barely habited, only by a small colony. It was the colony that had been known to keep it's Pirates well fed and supplied for centuries, and today would be no exception. With the Black Moon Pirates also falling out of hyperspace alongside the decorated warriors, the planet looked extremely well set to fall into criminal control yet again.

[Dan Zorko]

Dan slumped in his seat as his ship fell out of hyperspace. After facing a humuiliating defeat at Taris, Dan was more than spent. but before he could rest, they had to take Lok. He wearily pulled himself out of his seat. The ship captain came over to him. "Sir, are you alright?" Dan looked at him. "No, i'm not. But we'll discuss that after we take Lok. Send in the 5th. Starfighter cover. This should be a cakewalk. And open up a line to the 116th." When a line was established; "Admiral, we're going to take the planet. For now, just calculate your loses and damage."

Dan watched as the 5th landed on Lok. Within an hour, the capital was taken, and the planet was effectively there's.

[Galor Iram]

"Received Admiral, I shall continue onwards to find somewhere to keep our own. I shall be in touch soon, may the force be with you[/i]" Said Galor, as he spoke to the hologram. With a swift move of his hand, a map of the galaxy floated around him upon the bridge. This began to be highlighted by coloured indicating the various factions in the galaxy. With the hologram around him, he stood and began to look at the various systems and planets that surrounded their current position. It seemed that with the Outer Rim at their mercy, they might be able to find a good place to stay, but that would be unlikely in the neighbouring Hutt territories. Looking further out, he discovered that the planet Tythe was only barely habitable. The world had been stripped by a powerful organisation which had turned the once lush planet into a wasteland. But still, vegetation existed in it's lakes and it gave hope that oxygen could be created in sufficient quantities to be recycled into breathable air. This would give the colonist's freedom from oxygen masks and building completely air-proof shelters. "Head to Tythe, we shall settle on the planet in the stealthiest place" Galor ordered to the Admiral in charge of the forces. "Aye Sir" the Admiral replied and began issuing out his commands to the war hardened crew. It was from there that the majority of the 116th Fleet began to move into hyperspace.

[Dan Zorko]

Dan watched as the 116th left. Captain Friehty joined him. "Brave lads, eh Admiral?" Dan turned his head to look at him. "Very brave, Captain. Very. Now, give me a status report."

The Captain handed him a datapad. "We have been confiscating any useful ships on the planet, and integrating them into the Defense Force. We've found about 50 Storm IV Twin-Pod cloud cars; we've been using those for patrols. Loads of Uglies, from all the pirates on the planet. We've begun mopup on crime too, by the way. We've found about 5 AA-9 Gunship Transports, and have been using those for troop transport. 50 TIE fighters were taken from the ORIGINAL Lok defense force. We didn't see them when we arrived because they were all to drunk to deploy. 2 Action VI transports and 1 Gallofree meium transport were found too, those are being used to move troops and equipment around the planet."

"Good haul." said Dan. "Very good haul."

[Galor Iram]

Galor was sat in his quarters on the giant Nebula-class Star Destroyer. He had sent a signal straight to Lok where he hoped to talk to Dan Zorko of the Black Moon Pirates. Both forces had exchanged little words since Taris and cooperation needed to be maintained or all hell would be threatening to break loose. "This is Galor Iram calling Dan Zorko...

[Dan Zorko]

Dan was informed that Admiral Iram was hailing him. "Hello Admiral, I trust that you and your fleet are well?"

[Galor Iram]

"Very well, yes. We have established a ground base nearby and are keeping our fleet out of sight for the time being. Soon enough we shall have a permanent presence in this region and can start to get our hands on some new weapons. I have managed to get an agent through the security screen and is currently tracking our friends. How are events on your island of paradise?". Being very careful not to mention names or locations which would give any listeners new information, Galor pressed on for news in the hopes that something may have turned up. They needed a stroke of luck now, to them ready for fighting off the galaxy.

[Dan Zorko]

"We've been commandering ships from all over the planet, cleaning up the crime on the planet, and pretty much just laying low for a while. We've been keeping all ships and personel in the region for now, but plan to send scouts out soon, and start laying false trails." Dan drummed his fingers. "Thankfully, our forces weren't hit too bad, we can make most of the repairs here. How did your ships fare?"

[Galor Iram]

Galor thought about the question for a moment, how bad was things? "Well, I guess we were pretty lucky. A few shuttles and a corvette was lost with some good pilots in our assault. Otherwise, people are healing their wounds and getting on with the repairs. Once we have established our base and made it as scanner-proof as possible, we shall possibly expand outwards, but where, i do not know. Within the next week we shall have our forces re-assembled and ready for duty, including our new base up and running". Galor had a lot of events happen within the last couple of days but luckily, the time they had spent in these far regions had proven to be an haven for them. If things continued to go like this, then they would surely have the upper-hand in many ways. "I take it that the Black Moon Pirates would like to continue our current alliance?".

[Dan Zorko]

"Of course. Always good to have friends in high places. Especially if they have a Star Destroyer or two. I have to ask, what are your plans? Are you going to try to overthrow the Republic?" If Galor was to try to overhrow the republic, Dan may not be able to help him. While they had strategy, the Republic had much more numbers.

[Galor Iram]

Galor thought about this for a moment, he hadn't really planned ahead. After all, everything had been a rush to get his friends together. "Well we can play the Republic at their own game. If the Senate doesn't have a military force to protect the Republic itself, they'll override orders and send what fleets they have left to defend their homes. We can exploit this, many in the military will see the Senate already for it's corruption and would be easier to turn if it involved a demonstration and wind of change against corruption rather than a revolt. If you wish, I could attempt to start this campaign in a couple of weeks. By attacking the Mandalorians and Imperial Remnant, news would spread like wildfire of our efforts and this new policy with our forces would be proven time and time again, rallying supporters". Galor continued to think in the next couple of seconds silence, wondering what other options was available. "If you have another plan then please, let me know" he finally responded to his own thoughts.

[Dan Zorko]

Dan thought for a momment. "No, I don't have a better plan. But you keep mentioning 'our forces.' Does this mean you want to make an official alliance?" Dan thought about what this would mean. If they did form an alliance, Dan would have one of the galaxies greatest strategists on his side, plus another fleet. While he had no interest for power, he would love to cause a dent in the Remneants forces.

[Galor Iram]

"Maybe so" Galor concluded after several moments of thought. "I've heard that Naboo is being taken by Remnant Forces, might be an ideal place to hit supply routes for you. But i shall attempt to strike further and deal a morale boosting victory for us. Then we may get some of the Republic turn to our side". Galor took a quick look at their position on a nearby sensor board. "If you decide to attack Naboo, let me know the exact time and i shall bring my fleet" Galor stated with a more cheerful tone to his voice. Soon enough he expected flocks of ships to be arriving at his gates with deserters from the Republic.

[Dan Zorko]

"I will, but it will have to wait until my forces are repaired and we do a bit of scouting. Call me if you ever get into trouble though, and I'll send my forces to help you." Dan thought about Naboo for a momment. if he could destroy the Remnant at Naboo, he might be able to sway the planet to his side, and gain more supporters... "We'll conduct scouting on Naboo now."

[Galor Iram]

"Excellent" Galor responded cheerfully. "If we can turn around the minds of people in the military, we may find ourselves at an advantage over the Imperial and Mandalorian Empires". Galor drew breath before finally sighing out in one long motion. His eyes shown tiredness and his body felt weaker than ever. "I need to sign off now Admiral but it was a pleasure speaking to you. May the Force be with you".

OOC: We should continue our posts now forwards where repairs are complete to keep things flowing.
