2.4 BBY
Shanev resistance base #14…..
"I am telling you sending her in time after time is gonna get her killed! Do you want help or suicide missions?" Darrin raved at Captain Jai-Don-Schu while Lt Per Diton sat by, after 4 months the same argument was raised over and over. Not enough weapons on their people, not enough machines, while the empire had a seemingly endless supply. They were trying to mount an offensive but when one base was removed a month later it returned with a brother. When both went under assault, they built two more.
"Darrin, it is an honor I am used to, and I am getting good at it, so are you." And she looked up with contented calm at her brother. He looked a bit frantic about the whole "send sister in to do the "wet work" all the time." She was a good warrior, but so was he, what was he so worried about?
"Last week's turbolaser bombardment kind of made things suck anyway, we cannot create enough of an underground warren to move anyway. Their satellite sensor net is letting them know too far in advance. And anytime there is a frigate up there we have to stay put!" Lt Diton commented. "It is a no win situation."
"No win says we give up." Jannma said as she rose from her seat, "No win means we lost belief, that is our advantage, belief. The enemy cannot, does not, believe!" she took a deep breath and walked a bit, "I will leave this place when my blade drips with blood all day if I have to, now if you excuse me, I have to see if the forger has put my hat back together!" but before she could leave she stopped "JAHN? JAHN IS COMING!" and she raced out of the tunnels.
"Ok Kae you and Deloan make once around the planet when we go in, I want all the satellite net down and the starboard side tractor beams and as many turbolasers out before blasting out to the rendezvous point. Shay you are second seat on this, but you must learn to tie in with that empathy, I cannot do it alone ok?" Jahn called out on comms after the second jump "Last jump light speed on my mark …now!"
"Got it! And Shay worked to bind to his mind with her empathy even as he called Jannma's name over and over from hyperspace. She felt Jannma's overjoyed reply and exultation and then understood, these two share deeper than any Zeltron had ever…. A new wave hit her as she…
"Dammit Shay, you have to …." He shouted over her moans of pleasure. "The buttons countermeasures on three two one….. Mark!" they dropped out of hyperspace with a frigate dead ahead 100 meters "FIRE" AND Shay hit the ion missile launch. "Transmit the Holo Taunt! TWO ROUGH EM UP!"
Aboard the frigate all hell broke loose as a prehistoric BB-2 from the Sith Wars hit it with a missile sending sparks all over.
"Sir it was an Ion weapon. Tractor offline, unrepairable as it was a direct hit. Most other systems will be repaired in four hours."
"Tell the men they have fifteen minutes." The captain snarled. As his coms officer shouted "Sir there is a holo from the attacking vessel!"
A man in a black cloak with the Kyuzo hat turned down "Attack me with assassins! Time to find out what happens when you kick voorcats."
Jannma came out to the surface and raced toward an open field as the BB-2B with Jahn detached the drone glider and out dropped a twelve meter drone she sensed was supplies for her to catch, which she did using the Force and then once it was on the ground she stretched out thanks. A feeling came that she needed to get the equipment off the surface and just as she finished green turbolaser fire started shaking the ground behind the craft.
"Shay FOCUS! be ready to be bombardier I have the stick, angle the deflector shields and hang on tight!" as his juking got extremely crazy while they avoided ground fire from the space port and air fire from the frigate.
"Drop those damn bombs and close the bay for a toss on target two! … on my mark…."
4 days later…
"Sir, getting a clear wave call from Sharnev."
"Captain Juros?" the Cerunian on the screen asked.
"Yes Captain Jai-Don-Schu, how is it going on Sharnev?"
"I just want you to know I appreciate the work that boy Jahn did at your request. A BB-2? I did not know there were any left! We have all four spaceports and the satellite net down. The Empire is, except for farm slaves who we have freed hours after the bombing, swept away at this time and place."
"They are? The what?" Juros cut his audio feed "Wasn't there a frigate they had out there all the time now?"
"Yes sir they had a EF-76 out there they had just started deployment rotation one on station all the time." Juros turned on audio.
"The two bombers got that frigate and the bombers took off. I understand, checking all this are you?" Captain Jai-Don-Schu chuckled. "We expected that, the Bernals are over the moon right now. They did not have to continually rip up space port infrastructure for once feeling that there was no headway."
"Well I am glad you…" Juros began.
"Cut the crap Ju, send me all the weapons you can spare immediately and blast out before they resupply. We will send you all the food you can load in trade. I think you have …. What did you say Darrin ….. we have 3 days so get them here and we can finally have some balance. We will set a beacon for the drop point."
"Ok, I, congrats Jay, knew you could do it. I'll see what I can do."
"Yeah thanks but it would have taken 10 years….. that kid …. Crazy he is. Jannma has a private holo for him she just uploaded to you, make sure the kid gets it. Oh and he says in a paper note, paper…. Ha! "your people" just got a new rifle donation, so forward that! And some small excavation equipment so we can increase the cave net. We are wearing out the girl and the light staff Jahn gave her digging. Cause the Empire is coming back again in force if they do anything. I want to be prepared to be able to help these valiant natives defend their home rather than just piss off the Imps!" and Captain Jai-Don-Schu cut transmission.
"Can we do this men? Lets get them the help they need to turn the tide." Juros called to a shout as excited people got busy. "Now my biggest question is our momentum going to continue?"
"Not for long Captain!" Malcomb rushed into the command center tent. "The Empire is pissed, I have slices saying they are redirecting the fleet assignments and expanding Skip 5. We are going to have to find a way to hide better, maybe deeper into the Asteroid field."
"What about this group here?" an analyst pointed.
"Not a good spot, we need one closer to Kratovas and the trade route with access to Lameredd and Excarga."
Notes, I do not own Lucas or Disney property, or even any Fanfic Property like that I borrowed Thieves World Style from Mechalich and have just injected the bare minimum so far. It is lazy yes, but the characters fit. I do not own them and receive no compensation for them, nor will accept any unless I become a screenwriter for them LOL.
I also took and basically modified some Tagalog terms to fit an isolated founders language. Gender terms are not differentiated too much. Asawa = spouse, ko= my, Kuya= brother, Ate =sister but drawing it out in a kooyaah or ahhtay is a greeting, like hey bro! in mixed company kuya seems to work and sometimes I screwed with spelling etc. Just adding a bit of texture. Mgabata = mga bata= children.
I have asked permission to use the "landscape" and some Characters from Mechalich, I have received approval. Mechalich owns them, not I. I broke his timeline for my own use in Xulin-Etch origins because it made better use here. I hope I can make these additions at least as good as a Thieves world Borrow. I used few Canon personalities so far, basically just two Maz Kanata and Zuvio. Check out the Tales from the Kalat Arm and The People's Armor here by Mechalich, they are quite awesome.
And lastly, since I did think Jedi were a bit stuck up, I believe the term is hidebound, rigid, unable to understand their own prophesy (This is what I am driving the story at, those that bring balance to the Force). I chose this Kalat Arm and Zeison Sha backstory for the character. It appealed to me, added conflict. I hope to make it a long long way bringing balance and up to date all the way to Rey-Finn and Kylo Ren. (except in my vision, those will be from different origins, hey, if Disney can scrap canon…which oddly is the metaphor of Jakku.)
