Revan looked outside the window of his flagship into space as it emerged from hyperspace and turbolaser fire lit up the space outside the window. The shields of the Enforcer started taking hits as Republic forces moved into attack position trying to push the enemy out of the orbit as quick as possible. "Deploy the strike force to extract the Omega squad." One officer wandered off to relay the order. As the Republic ships moved away from the planet, Revan ordered to use the ground-based weapons. His engineers had full control of the weapons and a few moments later the surface of the planet was lit up as hot plasma and turbo laser rounds were fired into space. One of the republic cruisers was hit by the hypermatter cannon square in the fuselage. It broke up and Revan watched as the crew was sucked out into space. A warning tone went off as republic bombers broke through their frontline accompanied by fighters they went straight for the Enforcer. "Open fire with all point defence cannons but divert all our fighters to let them pass and attack the destroyer in sector seventeen it has been drained of all its fighters." The order was relayed and two squadrons of Sith-Marauders managed to reach their target delivering torpedoes onto it and peppering the bridge with laser fire. After a few minutes the shields went down and a Sith cruiser made quick work of the ship.
On the ground Bastila and her allies had been spotted due to the special attention the Sith forces gave the area trying to bring troops on the ground. Now Corellian troops moved on the house with the Sith firing back at them from the second floor. Omega nine popped up and hit two soldiers running behind each other while they were trying to change cover. He ducked back down and grabbed a grenade launcher, shouldering at and looking back outside he saw a small walker approaching the compound. The grenade detonated a few meters to the left but ripped of the walkers left leg which caused him to topple over into another house. When he tried firing at the attackers a third time a republic soldier had brought a precision rifle onto the window and managed to hit him in the shoulder. He toppled over falling to the ground where Bastila immediately pulled him to better cover where she pressed her hand on the wound healing it as good as she could before returning back to lobbing grenades out of a window and reflecting blaster bolts. Marius grabbed his comm "This is Omega-Actual to Hammer 21 and 22 please comm in". "Hammer 21 here we hear you loud and clear." Marius held his thumb up to the rest of his squad. "Requesting close air support at 345:768 in sector 9, friendlies two hundred meters west. Target is located right to a big tree behind some rocks, its enemy Armor and infantry use laser guided bombs. Target elevation is 400 meters over sea level. Be advised we have enemy anti air capable Armor two clicks over use egress 150 and stay low behind the mountains to avoid enemy fire" Marius said as he put his range finder down." "Copy Omega-Actual standby for close air support ETA 2 minutes." Marius turned around to Bastila "two minutes and that position over there is gone" he said, she just nodded letting a fragmentation grenade fall out the window where two Corellians had come to close to the house.
"Lord Revan the battle is going good and ground forces are being deployed as we speak to capture the planet surface." Revan nodded staring at an exploding enemy cruiser "What's the status on the Omega-Team?" "It seems they called in air support just now and the strike team has landed a few clicks away and are currently advancing on their position. Once they meet up, they will try and take over a local airbase that's still launching fighters and is too well defended for an airstrike." Revan nodded again "I want a blockade up as soon as the last resistance has been taken out start planning for that he ordered".
"Omega-Actual this is hammer 21 we are now inbound for Close air support please acknowledge". "Copy Hammer 21 you are clear to engage" answered Marius. "Target spotted starting run now standby" Marius held the comm active while they could hear the fighters approaching outside. "Guns, guns, guns the pilot said as outside several missile launches could be heard. "Copy that Hammer 21 good hits, good effect" Marius closed off the communication as the enemy position was obliterated by the missiles launched by the fighters that now howled over head as they shot off into the distance leaving the area. A few minutes later additional fire could be heard as the strike time started attacking the Corellians from behind. At that point the Omegas moved out of the building now overrunning the weakened enemies that were now engaged from two sites. Quickly the last of the soldiers were retreating quickly into a near forest. As they met up with the strike team, they were informed about their assignment to take down the enemy air base. When they reached the outer fence of the facility Revans fighters had already broken through the enemy defences so they airstrip was ready with fighters ready to launch to put a stop to the enemy offensive. They cut a hole into the outer fence and the group of almost thirty soldiers and a force sensitive streamed onto the field opening fire on the pilots and fighters as well as the soldiers guarding the base. When they reached the airstrip, they started tossing grenades underneath the enemy aircrafts blowing them up and leaving the pilots to run for their life over open field, the Corellian soldiers already having fled the battle. "This is Bastila Shan to command we have the enemy airbase and the air defence system have been booted offline, requesting evacuation." Bastila said into her comm, with the positive answer following quickly. As two shuttles touched down to pick them up, they came under enemy fire again. From a position a few hundred meters from the airbase several machine guns were lighting up the Sith standing without cover on the air field now scrambling to the shuttles Bastila deflected as many shots as she could to protect the troops and as the second shuttle finally went up, she jumped onto the ramp still open. Right before the hatch could close behind her a rocket fired from a republic soldier on the ground hit the shuttle that started spinning out of control. The second shuttle immediately obliterated the position the rocket had been fired from but it was too late the shuttle crashed into the ground burning. "Bring the shuttle down immediately" Marius screamed at the pilot but the shuttle was already powering away from the ground and in the direction of the atmosphere. "Hound 2 has been shot down upon take off my Lord" Admiral Karath reported to Revan who whirled around and pointed his finger at him "get my fighter ready immediately" he said storming of to his personal hangar immediately. "This is Lord Revan to Omega-Actual do you read me?" "Loud and clear Lord Revan." "What happened to the second shuttle and where is my apprentice?" Revan asked him. "I'm afraid your apprentice was on Hound 2; it was shot down by a ground-to-air missile fired by a republic soldier during take-off." Revan shut down his comm and pushed his after burner to the maximum diving for the planet surface and the coordinates of the pick-up point. When he arrived on the ground, he pushed away the canapé of his fighter jumping out. Several republic soldiers opened fire on him immediately he blocked the shots with his lightsaber running to the burned wreckage of what had been the landing shuttle. When he couldn't find his apprentice, he reached deep into the force tapping into all his hate and grief for the death of Bastila and let it explode out of his body. Even from space a shockwave could be seen on the ground emerging from the Emperor burning the planet surface for miles before finally stopping and leaving behind a trail of destruction. As he opened his eyes again, he could practically feel them burning completely red with hatred. Deep within the wreckage Bastila opened her eyes as well having been reawaken by the massive amount of force power Revan had blasted out. She climbed out of the ship seeing Revan, who also immediately spotted her and ran towards her. He tried pulling her into an embrace when she noticed his eyes tumbling backwards away from him. "Don't you dare turn your back on me Bastila" he hissed his eyes lighting up even further. "I'm sorry Revan but this is not you" she said. Angrily he reached for her throwing her to the ground pulling out handcuffs from his cape. In an effort to keep the Sith Lord at bay she force-pushed him sprinting to his fighter and jumping in. Even before he was back up on his feet his fighter blasted into space leaving him to fall into another. He pulled out his commlink "Arrest Lady Shan the second she enters the hangar, if she tries to escape the system capture her with the tractor beams."
