---Orbit outside Taris---
The Excalibur Gunships entered Taris' orbit after the jump to Hyperspace. By then Osman, Ragab and the others had worn their Nova Battlesuits and were ready. Osman spoke on the comm.
[shadow=black,left,300]Alright men, this is the moment we've all been waiting for. Here's the plan for deployment:
We will paradrop from the gunships as they orbit the planet. For those not trained, don't be alarmed: the battlesuits are equipped with breathing technology and can withstand the atmosphere's heat. When we land, we engage hostiles in close quarters combat and assemble in prep for retaliation. Any questions? Let's go![/shadow]
Minutes later Ragab looked down at the the bay of the Excalibur gunship open after depressurisation: the suits were pressurised and the cargo was fastened so as not to be sucked out. The Legionnaire in front of Ragab began to count, all in the gunship hearing him through their radios.
[glow=teal,2,300]All right men. Three, two, JUMP.[/glow]
The Legionnaire hopped through the bay door and Ragab followed. Automatically the jets on his backpack began the preprogrammed course to the planet's atmosphere. Then the heat came.
Osman felt it too as he reached, although he trained for the new technique several times with the Legion. the difficult part was the sudden, sickening warmth after the cold of space: it drove you to vomit sometimes.
The Legion had burned through the atmosphere. The ground was clear and they were closing in...
---On the ground---
A squad of nine Dark Troopers and four Patriots have finished rounding up the residential district's citizens and were facing them, ready to fire.
The command to fire was stopped short by the squad leader as an ultra-high density slug, seen by the orange-blue burn trail it left behind, ripped through the skull cap of the suad leader, pujmmeling him down on the floor. Three more slugs also hit a Patriot walker, causing it to topple on its side, a crumpled heap of metal.
The remaining troops looked up and aimed, but the noon sun blinded them until it was too late. The citizens' first sight was a figure with a large blue curved lightsabre landing on the ground and splitting the Dark Trooper in front of him with his weapon, followed by several other figures with large heavy rifles following and ambushing the villains, killing them with relative ease due to the surprise. The figures then stood: Their white and gold battlesuits with the crested helmets and falcon insignia gave them the impression the Force had send down an Army of the Light Side to save them from the Black Horde.
All over the residential district Nova Legionnaires and similarly equipped jedi had landed and fierce hand to hand combat between them and the Dark Troopers started.
The Battle for Taris had begun

Olligio Ripped his lightsaber from his belt and ignited his Silver blade. He was both scared and excited, hed never been in a real Battle before. Soon the dark troopers began to return fire. Olligio Spotted two dark troopers gunning down cititzens and he immedialty Leapt over to them. He landed and slashed his bladed diagonaly so one was beheaded and the other was cut in half. He took the remaining citizens and tol them to take cover behind a downed starfighter. He ran towords his master but was tackled by a dark trooper who then whacked Olligio In the face with the butt of his blaster. Olligio fell, stunned. The dark trooper was now on top of him, And he was whacking his face with the butt of his gun. Olligio withstood the blows With great pain, and his head and mouth were bleding severely. Olligio Stuck out his hand and Called his lightsaber (which had been knocked away upon his falling) He then ignited it And the blade went though the dark tooper's helmet, Sparks of radio circutry hit olligio's eye and he cried out in pain. He shoved the dark trooper off him and joined the jedi knights. he stood next to ragab and blocked maser beams like mad. he asked mis master

Ragab was finished with his third Dark Trooper, using Nova Vanquisher to knock the trooper's legs from under him and, using the heat sensors to find a soft spot but to no avail, stabbed the trooper in the face with all his might. He turned to Oligio, shocked by his smshed state.
[shadow=Navy,left,300]Oligio, get a battlesuit now! You won't survive without one in your state![/shadow]
Ragab turned to find a Shadow trooper facing him, sabre ignited.

Olligio Retrived a battlesuit and put it on behind cover. He dived out of cover and then Was separated from his master by a starship trhat fell out of the sky and landed in front of them. He dove behind it just in time before a barrage of Blaster bolts pelted the Metal Hull. Olligio Found himself diving for cover alot. He heard his master beckon to him. Olligio Flipped over th e starfighteer and Iginted the silvery white blade of his ligtsbaer. he landed and batted two bolts away, and then he followed his master to the capitol building.

Jenno fell, from the sky and into the force. THe thoughts of his previous battle flooded his mind. WOuld there never be peace? Why couldn't there just be peace? This fighting was pointless and nothing would come from it except death. But, he had to do his duty and protect those that could not protect them selves. He pulled forth his two duplicated sabers and looked at them before placing them back on his utility belt. He then pulled his real sabers out, Green Dragon and Blue Phoenix, they had never let him down before, and he wasn't going to use any other sabers. Even if they were supposedly better.
Jenno searched through the force, tapping into it's unlimited power. He became controlled by it, he had got used to the feeling especially since the trainning he had recieved from Master Kross and Master Coryn. Jenno felt as though battle was his life, battle had consumed him and made him more heartless everytime, but he had to fight to protect life, and the force. It was a circle and until the source of evil is destroyed, war is all he will know.
Jenno looked down at the swarming enemy forces, they opened fire on the hastily approaching troops. Jenno called to Green Dragon to his right hand and ignited it all too welcoming blade. Letting the force guide him, he blocked many of the shots that were fired at him. Jenoo landed and quickly summond Blue Phoenix to his left hand before he began to deflect balster fire and hack away at these new soldiers. He seemed possesed.

Roth had been one who had refused the use of the Nova squad armor and it's weapons. He simply wore a suit that could withstand the space drop to the ground below. He had no use for such tools. He had his saber Redemption which he would never give up, his Vaapad training which gave him a large repetoire of skills at his disposal, and more than that he had the Force to guide him. He was still in Vaapad mode having stayed that way since leaving Yavin. Roth the warrior was among the Jedi now. Once again he stood on the teetering edge of the Force.
Using Vaapad had always been different for him. He seemed to change into another, darker Roth. The fact that such an aspect of his personality even existed scared the hell out of him. But having no such use for fear he shoved the feeling aside.
He dropped from the sky using the Force and igniting his saber. He threw himself telekinetically straight for the nearest Dark trooper shoving his saber straight through it's head then pushing off using it's massive shoulders. It fell to the ground barely moving at all. One of them came up behind him trying to use stealth. Which really wouldn't have worked considering it was a massive hunk of metal. Ripping one of the decorative trees out of the ground that lined some of the walkways he accelerated it into troopers body. The impact dented the metal but failed to cause any permanent damage. But the strength of the impact shoving him off the side to the ground below definitely would.
Removing the spacesuit he called upon the Force as he sprinted off searching for his next target...

Sending a slug into the head of the Dark Trooper he was sniping at, Osman spotted a Patriot walker charging in his direction, letting loose a heavy cannon bolt. Osman tensed his chest, the fibres of the battlesuit contracting then withstanding the powerful blast that would've otherwise cut a speeder in two. Osman aimed his railgun, then sheared off the walker's left leg at the knee, causing it to topple and slide toward Osman, who fired another round at it's head to finish it off. A radio transmission opened.
[glow=teal,2,300]Area clear. Hold on, retaliation at 10 o'clock.[/glow]
Osman looked northwest to find a phalanx of Dark Troopers aided by Tyrant walkers and Tarantulas approaching from 10 miles.
[glow=black,2,300]That was quick... FORM COHORTS![/glow]
All at once the legionnaires arranged themselves into the cohort formation: an ancient tactic in which the army arranged itself like the black pieces of a checkerboard, hence providing mutual support.
[glow=teal,2,300]Cohorts ready sir! Enemy closing in![/glow]
[shadow=black,left,300]Volley fire with Javelin support. Make ready, FIRE![/shadow]
All at once the front lines opened fire with their Railguns, the aiming systems on the soldiers' helmets allowing for very accurate shots, shown by the orange burn trails leading up to the leading Dark Troopers' heads while at the same time Javelin proton missiles pummeled on the aiding vehicles in pairs, two missiles per target, hence destroying some and weakening the rest.
The Dark Troopers, as programmed, responded immediately as proton launchers assembled and aimed for the Nova Legion.
[glow=orange,2,300]Dark Troopers, open fire![/glow]
The cohorts faced waves upon waves of incoming proton fire, but unleased their energy shields to block them, carrying out another ancient tactic called the turtle: soldiers on the edges held shields on the side while those in the middle held it up, creating excellent protection and allowing firing from the spaces between the shields.
The proton torpedoes smashed relentlessly on the energy shields, ripping apart a few and killing off the legionnaire who held it, but the Nova legion held firm as planned until gaggle upon gaggle of Excalubur Gunships flew down upon the Dark Trooper Phalanx, raining proton torpedo fire and reverse polarity bombs upon their heads, erasing over half of them and disabling most of the vehicles.
[shadow=black,left,300]Nova Legion, advance to the capital building![/shadow]
The turtles began to slowly advance under cover from the air, every now and then firing from between the shields at anything that charged in their direction...

Post by Katana on Apr 21, 2006 11:54:38 GMT -5
Katana dropped, through atmosphere and stratosphere. She felt like her flight suit was going to cook her as she fell. For a second she laughed. "Of course they couldn't give us a good old Basilisk war droid, we fall onto the planet. Brilliant." The claustrophobia set in, and she channeled herself through the force, looking for Ragab on the planet below. She spotted him, and took aim at the Dark Troopers apporaching. Her flight suit judged the distance. 6 kilometers and counting.... 5.....4....3...2..... 1 kilometer remains. Katana disengaged her suit, and jumped off, sending it crashing into the dark troopers below. She twisted in mid-air, igniting her saber and preparing her self-created fighting style. She could see Ragab immediately, only about 10 Dark Troopers between them. She looked into the mask of the trooper, and spun, slashing away. She took the first down easily, but the impending army was ectremely taxing on her endurance. She decided to take the quicker route. She jumped, and flipped in the air, landing at Ragab's feet.
"Hello, Master, how are you on this fine day of battle?"

Ragab was still engaged with the Shadow Trooper who attacked him. Even when wearing the bionic battlesuit and armed with Nova Vanquisher, the Shadow Trooper was still giving Ragab a hard time. Ragab sliced downwards on its head, but it moved to a side and gave the knight a roundhouse kick, sending Ragab flipping backwards but landing on his feet.
This is going too long, felt Ragab. He channeled into the Dark Side, using his Vaapad powers.
[glow=red,2,300]Now...come get some.[/glow]
Ragab charged straight ahead at the Shadow trooper but appeared behind him a split second later. Before the enemy could react, Ragab chopped off the Shadow Troopers arms and legn in a circular move then ritually lopped his head off.
Deactivating Nova Vanquisher Ragab returned to the light and faced Katana. Even under the Nova Battlesuit's helmet, he didn't seem pleased with the padawan's comment.
[shadow=navy,left,300]Calling a day packed with violence and killing 'fine' is not the quality of a Jedi. We only took part in this war to show that maniac Zoth that there are still those who would stand up to his opression. I kinda recognise you...[/shadow]

I apologise master, I was not calling the battle "fine," I was calling the day "fine." There are hardly any clouds. I couldn't help but notice the weather. Again, I apoligise if my use of the language is at all sub-par.
Katana deactivated her lightsaber, and stared very intently into Ragab's eyes. She saw it in him. But now was not the time.
Faces tend to blur when you see so many. I'm not sure I recognise you.
She was a little too good at lying.
Katana directer her attention back to the Shadow Troopers, only to be knocked back by one of their fists. She landed back at the feet of her battlesuit. She threw it at one of the Troopers disabling him, if only for a moment. She then dashed at him, using a very drastic Vaapad maneuver. Katana sliced the head and helmet clean off the shoulders of the shadow trooper.
Master, I believe we have bigger problems right now.

[shadow=navy,left,300]Skilled, pretty AND smart! Don't see that everyday in a girl! I see you're using a self-created style. I do the same thing: it's basically Vaapad with a few impurities here and there to keep me from tumbling into the Dark Side...[/shadow]
Ragab turned to face another Shadow Trooper, but simply took his position and tensed, letting his enemy inch near him, uneasy. However, a heartbeat later Ragab had activated Nova Vanquisher and his arm was radially extended outwards, the Shadow trooper split in two. A transmission reached Ragab's helmet, Osman.
[shadow=black,left,300]Ragab I need you. We're reaching the Capital building. Join us.[/shadow]
[shadow=navy,left,300]Yes General. Oligio and girl, come with me.[/shadow]

Roth moved like a blur through the Shadow Trooper lines slicing them apart. Normally he wouldn't have been able to hold out this long, but his Vaapad 'mode' had taken over him completely. He twirled the saber through his fingers batting away weapon's fire, before going in on the traget and piercing his heart. His face showing no emotion, no feeling. Only cold determination.
Dropping low he spun along the balls of his feet swinging Redemption in a high arc as he sliced through the next troopers waist line, the saber slowing slightly as it encountered armor, them bisecting him. The Corellian master was fighting like a demon, as several more troopers fell at his knees. Even when he had fallen to the dark side he had been unable to fight like this.
He stood looking over the dead troopers sweating slightly before sprinting off again in response to his comlink going off. He knew where the troopers were headed he could already sense that through the Force. It was the only place where General Zoth could be. The capital building.

Jenno's mind was blank, so were his eyes. After the years of battles he had lost his fighting spirit now there was nothing. He felt nothing except annoyance at another pointless battle. He merely let the force control his movements, he no longer thought of... anything. The spirit and hype that he used to contain was fading into nothingness. He had become something he never would. A mere soldier, fighting when he was told, where he was told. And now, he was even wearing the same armour as every other soldier. Soon he would be resorting to blasters.
That's when the colour returned to Jenno's eyes, the indipendence, the thoughts. If he carried on in such ways, then the fighting would carry on, it would never end. Jenno blocked two attacks from the Dark Troopers before cutting his sabers deeply into their armour and pushing them out of the other side. He stood tall, comanding, his armour glistened as six darktroopers moved around him, they shot at him, Jenno relied on the armour however, seeing if it was as good as Ragab had made out. Jenno merely grunted when the shots cratched the armour. But he would let no more shots get near him, he started moving fast and became quicker and quicker and quick. He became a Green and Blue whirlwind. 5 of the troopers dropped on the floor as Jenno gralered intently at the last, who took aim and fired at Jenno, using Blue Phoenix, Jenno deflected the shot into the air, with the Pheonix in the air, it was time for the Dragon to fly, and so it did. Jenno raised it and pointed it towards his foe before sending it forth with the force. Green Dragon impaled the last Dark Trooper through it's stomach. And Jenno walked over to the trooper, grabbed the hilt of his saber and quickly pulled it out of the now lifeless body.
Jenno deactived his sabers and began to remove his armour before disgarding it carelessly on the floor, revealing his now flowing Jedi robes. A few Nova Legionnaires approached him with puzzled looks on their faces.
Sir, what about your armour?
Jedi need no armour.
And with that Jenno took off, letting the force take him as he headed for his next target, the Capital Building. Jenno was spriting as when he spotted his master who was also heading in the same direction, Jenno followed him as thunder follows lightning.
*Move Jenno to the Capital Building*

It began to rain in Taris, another time for wetness in this city. As he stepped out from the capital building, two figures stood below the stairwell.
"Halt, Sith!" one of the shadow figures said.
"Who the!?" Hizre blurted out as he snapped the lightsaber off from his hilt and ignited it.
Both figures ignited their lightsabers, one was blue and the other was yellow.
"Join us, and you will live. The darkness has ruined your life young Kalee!" The figure to the left lowered her cloak and it appeared to be a young green twi'lek.
"Join us, La'res! The dark side has eaten you up. You have fallen for the lies and taunts of the dark side. Your life will be spared." the figure to the right lowered his cloak and a older human with gray beard appeared.
"I dont believe in anything of either sith or jedi. You have crossed my path, and you will die." Hizre responded with the coldest tone anyone might have heard. ----
Hizre twirled his lightsaber around, using up some of the force so that he could duel two force-sensitive beings at once.
They too prepared for battle.
He stood in silence with the lightsaber still ignited, the rain hissing as its droplets met with the hot ion blade.
It felt like a day has passed but it was meerly minutes, both of the Jedi felt the power rising from Hizre, though it could only match against a Masterful Jedi.
Hizre looked up at them and smiled as he jumped up 20 feet off the ground.
They turned to look at the falling shadow figure, raising their lightsabers to met his. They spreaded apart to gain a better advantage.
Hizre was not trying to claim their heads, instead...their legs. Miss calculations...the Jedi was lucky enough to block his saber from actually taking their legs off.
So the battle began. ----
Hizre punched the old man with his large bulky head, making the human bleed from his nose. The Twi'lek got a lucky shot by cutting skin deep of the Kalee's right leg. The Kalee moaned and pushed the twi'lek across the path.
The man rose from the ground and twisted his saber to meet with the Kalee's head, but was blocked by Hizre's lightsaber and was met by the Kalee's fist into the gut. The human moaned but then force pushed the Kalee off the catawalk and almost pushing him into the abyss of Taris.
The twi'lek stood, walked over next to her master and watched as the Kalee was barely hanging on by a thread.
"We must not kill him, unless he threatens us again." the old man spoke.
The twi'lek looked over her shoulder to nod to her master. -Mistake-
As they turned to look back down, they found nothing of his presence. What they did notice was he was behind them.
The old man felt his presence and swooshed his saber towards Hizre's temple.
Instead, he was stabbed in the chest and kicked off the platform. The Twi'lek was slower than her master and got 2 inches deep into his ribs. Hizre moaned in pain and grabbed the twi'lek by her 'tail' and threw her across the platform.
She groaned in pain as she stood up ready for another fight. Blood dripping from her mouth.
"No mercy..." She whispered as she ready her stance.
Hizre began to walk towards her but all of a sudden a lightsaber blade caused him to roll to the ground, the saber then flew back like a boomarang and nearly cut off the Kalee's head. Her master was still alive but on another platform, as soon as he took the saber he fell dead on the other platform.
"Master!" she cried out.
Hizre stood up and was about to cut her up into pieces but only to find out she jumped to the next platform. Hizre too needed to escape, his wounds were great and needed medical attention. He could not escape this planet without medical treatment or he would die in the next couple of days. ----
Several days later Hizre left for Korriban
