Chapter 16

Dude wheres my ship?

The Klingon Bird of Prey IKS Ch'Tang, dropped out of warp at the edge of the Fondor system. A passive scan confirmed that the enemy didn't know of their presence. The captain ordered the cloaking device to engage and the ship jumped to warp for a short time, then came out of warp in the middle of the Fondor shipyards. Again there was no indication that the enemy suspected their presence. Skywalker stood next to the captain.

"Which ship?" asked the captain

Skywalker closed his eyes and stretched out with his feelings. He was searching for the right ship, one nearest completion with a viable hyperdrive. The force quickly pointed him in the right direction. He walked to the sensor station and pointed to the ship on the monitor. "This one." he replied

The captain nodded to the helmsmen who brought the ship within transporter range. There was still no indication that the enemy knew they were there. The captain walked Skywalker to the transporter bay where Delta squad and three other Jedi were waiting. "We will transport you aboard immediately. QaPla!"

By now the Jedi knew the alien term meant 'success' and nodded in return. First the Jedi stood on the transporter. They disappeared in red light. Then the commandos disappeared in red light. "This has to be the weirdest way I've ever been deployed." said Six-two as he disappeared from the transporter bay. With the commandos and the Jedi off the ship the captain ordered the ship to jump to warp and rendezvous with the fleet. The Ch'Tang transmitted as simple message to the U.S.S. Enterprise. Team inserted without detection.

The Jedi materialized on the bridge deck. At first there was no reaction, then a battle droid cried out "Jedi!".

At that moment the Jedi moved.

It was over fifteen seconds later, the handful of droids on the bridge were no match for four Jedi. With the area clear Skywalker quickly locked out the bridge. "That should give us some privacy until we can get underway." he said sitting down at one of the helm stations as the Jedi spread out to different stations.. "Now if I can figure out how to get this tub moving..."

Kenobi spotted another station. "Here is a comm station." he said

"Here is the weapons station." said Windu.

"I found sensors and navigation." said Fisto.

"Alright, Master Windu, if you would bring weapons online." said Skywalker

Before Windu could reply their hidden comms beeped. "Team 1, this is Delta squad, engineering secured." Skywalker clicked his comm in acknowledgement.

"Weapons online." said Windu

"Target the support struts and the docking arms...clear all moorings as it were." Skywalker said with a smile.

"Firing." replied Windu

Three hundred of the five hundred turbolasers mounted on the ship fired, quickly separating the ship from the dock. Skywalker quickly laid in a course out of the system and engaged the engines at flank speed. The ship rumbled as the engines struggled to push it out of the dock but once the ship was clear the ship moved with surprising speed.

"Anakin? Incoming message from the dock master." said Kenobi

"Vessel six-two-four, respond!" yelled a droid.

"This is General Skywalker, this vessel is being repossessed by order of the Galactic Republic." Skywalker said before closing the channel.

Windu smirked "Repossessed?"

"What? Their payments are overdue." replied Skywalker

"Skywalker, I'm reading several ships coming out of dock, including a large number of boarding craft." said Fisto

"Master Windu, target weapons and fire."

"Aye aye Captain." Windu replied with sarcasm.

Turbolasers shot out from the hull of the Subjugator-class cruiser. Three Munificent-class frigates and two Recusants disappeared in flames. Several boarding craft were destroyed as well but about a dozen managed to attach themselves to the hull, cut their way in and deploy battle droids. But all was not lost as the captured ship made it's way out of the system and large group of Federation ships dropped out of hyperspace around the ship. They immediately transported two full battalions of MACOs and Clone Marines and well as a bridge crew to relieve the Jedi. The soon-to-be-captured cruiser jumped to hyperspace on a course to pre-arranged coordinates where a small fleet of troop ships waited to transport additional troops aboard to help with the capture. With the bridge crew at their stations, Windu, Fisto, Kenobi and Skywalker made their way through the ship and helped the clones and MACOs dispose of enemy forces.

In the meantime the Federation/Klingon/Republic fleet dropped out of hyperspace well within range of the docks. A massive volley of torpedos, phasers, disruptors, turbolasers and proton torpedoes flashed out. The other Subjugator cruiser that was near completion took every hit but eventually cracked open like an egg. Federation and Klingons squadrons broke formation and went after the normal shipyards while the Republic ships continued to fire on the Subjugators still under construction. But there were still normal ships to deal with and Picard stood on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise with a plan to deal with said ships.

"Mr. Worf have Destroyer units ten through twenty and cruiser wings twenty through thirty follow us."

"Aye sir."

The Enterprise along with thirty other ships attacked the ships that were either docked for repairs or part of the guard fleet. The guard fleet was small but powerful consisting of three Providence cruisers and twenty Recusant destroyers. The Federations ships swarmed every one of them and they exploded one by one.

"Sir, incoming message from General Yoda." said Worf

"On screen."

"Dropped out of hyperspace enemy reinforcements have. Requesting assistance I am." he said

"Standby General we're on our way. Helm alter course to intercept the new fleet. We'll out-flank and destroy them. Mr. Worf see if the Klingons can spare some ships."

"Yes sir...sir the Klingons report that the regular shipyards are either destroyed or inoperable. The entire contingent of Klingons is heading for the Republic."0

"Have them swing around and flank the enemy from the other side, we'll catch the reinforcements between three forces."

Once the Klingons swung around the battle was short but fierce. The reinforcements were quickly destroyed and the Subjugators still under construction were destroyed. The entire raid lasted about twenty minutes with minimal casualties.

On the captured Subjugator, Sgt. Karl John Bonanno led his team down a corridor laden with broken droid parts. Then the comm activated. "This is Delta squad to any friendly forces near engineering. Droid forces are attempting to retake engineering. Requesting reinforcements!"

"Sir, engineering is just down this corridor." said Cpl. Tasup, a Vulcan.

"Let's move MACOs! Double time!" yelled Bonnano and the team sprinted down the corridor.

They came to a door conveniently marke 'Engineering' and moved through. Their side was clear but they could hear blaster fire from the other side. Sgt. Bonnano motioned for his squad to split and moved around the massive reactor both ways. The team came up on both sides of the beleaguered Delta squad and provided additional fire which wiped out the last of this particular attack. "Thanks, we were down to sidearms." said Delta 38.

"No problem. We can even restock your ammo. Lance Corporal Houser!" said Bonanno

"Sir!" he replied

"Refill their ammo clips and make it quick the CIS will probably try to take this area again."

"Yes sir." The science officer serving as a MACO collected some spent ammo clips from the commandos weapons and used a plasma infuser to refill them and then returned them to the commandos. "You guys should go to phasers or disruptors. No need to carry a bunch of ammo." said Bonnano.

"Thanks, but we prefer these though." replied Delta-38

"Sir, I've got droids headed this way. From the readings most of them are supers." said PFC Arevalon.

"Take position. Ready ECM grenades. Houser, replicate some ammo for the commandos anti-armor attachment. They'll need it. Set phasers to armor-piercing."

A course of 'aye sirs' went out from the small group. Then the droids rounded the corner. As always the small, thin, stupid B1 droids let the way. The commandos and MACOs returned fire taking down the B1s by the dozens. Then the supers came. The group opened fire with anti-armor rounds and phasers. One MACO went down with a blaster shot to the chest. His armor took the brunt of the shot and probably saved his life. A combat engineer quickly set up a small shield generator that projected a bubble of energy around the group. The shield absorbed all the blaster fire the droids could put out until the supers fired wrist rockets at the shield. The shield began to collapse when the commandos tossed ECDs into the midst of the droids and shorted out their systems. Three photon grenades finished off the droid attack.

"That was close." said Bonanno.

The comm system clicked on and Anakin Skywalker's voice piped through. "This is General Skywalker. The majority of enemy forces have been eliminated all teams report to the bridge. We will then conduct a deck by deck search of the ship for any remaining forces. Delta Squad?"

"Delta-38 here sir." replied Boss

"Stay in engineering, if the droids come at you again we'll route reinforcements to you." Skywalker said

"Understood sir. We already have a squad of MACOs here with us."

"Very well, I'll send some clone troopers your way too." said Skywalker

The Subjugator-class cruiser dropped out of hyperspace between systems at pre-arranged coordinates where a small fleet of troopships were waiting. Those ships beamed aboard the wounded and beamed replacement and additional troops onto the captured ship. The large force went deck by deck eliminating any remaining droids including a few who tried to take engineering and send a signal from a comm station. With the ship secured, Republic computer experts went into the software and deleted any command codes or anything else the CIS could use to turn the ship against the Republic. It was then taken to Corellia where it was refitted to serve the Republic. However due to an agreement with the Federation, the Republic would give the Federation the ship once the war was over as a 'thank you' for assisting them.

In the meantime Captain Picard and several high-ranking Republic officers and Jedi met with Admiral Nechayev to discuss the final stages of the war.

"While you were raiding Fondor captain, several smaller battle groups attacked and destroyed the CIS shipyards at Foerost, Pammant and Minntooine. Several major enemy bases were also destroyed at Utapau, Nemoidia, Muunilist and Raxus Prime. The CIS still have a major fleet which could be a threat to us. They're also continuing to blockade several Republic worlds including Christophsis and Ryloth, the Twi'lek homeworld. Jedi General Aalya Secura is on New Holstice with a battalion of clones. She has requested reinforcements and I've agreed. I'm sending a battalion of Klingons to assist her. Now, I want General Skywalker and Captain Keller to gather your forces and head to Christophsis. Your orders are to break the blockade and land reinforcements in the capital. The natives have been holding the city so far but they need our help. Christophsis is a strategic location on the Corellian Run, if the Separatists retain control of it, they could hit Kamino and Rothana. I've issued orders for replacement ships to be assigned to your taskforce. If needed Generals Kenobi and Yoda will be standing by ready to provide reinforcements should they be needed. If there is nothing else you are dismissed." she said

With the briefing over Captain Keller and General Skywalker assembled their task force and jumped to hyperspace towards Christophsis. Meanwhile General Kang of the Klingon Defense Force jumped to hyperspace with his battle group en route to New Holstice.
