The Defense of Bastion

This is a Star Wars write-up, mainly for my own records since most of the Star Wars group has already seen it in an e-mail. This write-up is provided by the good folks at www.wookieburger.com.
And my guy is Cage who is a genius, really.

As the battle subsides hangar workers begin running to doors. Drabek and Ebon begin to head over to the fighters in the adjoining hangar and to open the hangar bay doors to liberate some new fighters. Xyla heads over to leave her calling card. Silas notices that some of the dock workers are having trouble opening the doors to escape. At that moment warning alarms sound. A voice over the intercom sounds “Hangar bay decompression in 45 seconds.” Araris yells out “Ok anyone not on the ship or in a vac suit in 30 seconds are gonna have a really bad night!”
Araris, Silas, and Eli with Xyla and Captain Cage on their heels. Drabek and Ebon rush up the ramp and close the door as the hangar begins to decompress. Araris pilots the Nebula Scorcher and manuvers it nimbly out of the hangar. The other two Peace Brigade ships scramble their fighters. The speedy A-9′s swarm the shuttle. Drabek suggests to Araris that he take the controls and Araris focus on the laser cannons. Eli heads to a gun pod and Silas jumps in the other. Ebon works his magic squeezing every drop of power to hold the shields up. Xyla works on the engines, though she is used to making them explode she keeps them going long enough for the shuttle to exit the gravity well of Dathomir and make the jump to Bastion.

Upon reaching Bastion the party is greeted by The Chimaera, Grand Admiral Pellaeon hails us. He tells us to dock. When we land he greets us and has security escort us to our own “private rooms”. He takes Cage and Eli to debriefing then to their own rooms.
After about an hour we are all brought back to the hangar. Pellaeon thanks us for our service to the empire and asks us to escort Captain Cage to the ISD Megador. From there he will be given command of the Megador, Errinic, and several Skipray Blastboats. He then hands Cage a datapad and says to go over it. It contains plans for the defense of Bastion. Cage is in charge of protecting the largest populated city while Pellaeons ships protect Bastions capital. Golan 3 orbital platforms and local security are placed to protect any Vong who get past the fleet.

The Vong show up in force. The Bastion defense is out numbered. The Vong have sent 2 fleets in heading for both cities. Pellaeon coms Cage saying that they need to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. Cage has a brilliant thought and has his Tie squadrons lead the Vong fighters into their training area. Dozens of orbs are activated firing on everything in their range. Cage knows the lasers are too weak to even affect shields but the Vong don’t know that. Their Doven Basils cast out black holes to swallow the bolts and soon tire out. Cages fighters begin getting the upper hand.

ISD Errinic, Interdictor Wrack, and several Broadside class cruisers jump in behind the Vong fleet. The battle rages until another set of reinforcements arrive for the Empire. The Vong Fight to the last
ship.

Pellaeon has the group return to the Chimaera and tells us he is going to deal with Flennic and wants us there. He shows us to a conference room where he says the Moff council will meet. He takes us out a side door near the rear of the room masked by a holo emitter. He says we are to wait here while the Moffs get seated and then quietly sit down at the back of the table when he plays the holo for the council. The Moffs arrive and sit at the table. The lights dim and a holo appears on the center of the table. It shows Flennic meeting with Captain Imsatad of the Peace Brigade, signed documents by him and credit account paperwork. When it ends they all stare at Flennic barely noticing the new additions to the table. Pellaeon is standing at the head of the table with an arm behind his back. He says “With this new evidence I am relieving Moff Flennic of rank and title. He is to immediately surrender to face charges of treason.”

Flennic jumps to his feet. He points a finger at Pellaeon and shouts “You’re too soft! While the Vong deconstruct the New Republic we should be taking key systems from them and gain strength. You sit like a tame dog waiting to be put down!” He pulls out a hold out blaster and points it at Pellaeon. He pulls the trigger and hits Pellaeon in the chest.

At the same time Pellaeon weilds around a blaster pistol from behind his back. The bolt hits him in the chest. He doesn’t even flinch as he pulls the trigger sending a blaster bolt into Flennics face. He tosses the pistol on the table and says “It is my opinion that the newly opened position of Moff be given to Captain Cage. His selfless defense of the Empire at the extreme risk of his rank, reputation, and his very life. He has the backing of myself and the fleet.”

The rest of the Moffs, most still staring at the recently dispatched Flennic, nod their head in agreement.

  1. Cake, the ultimate thank you. Morgan had me make a cake to thank the construction shop at her work for making a new storage rack for their costume storage.

  2. I have you made a good savoring roll on that cake.

    I was going to have you make tactics rolls and all that when we played this out, but with time restraints on next session I thought it would be best to email it out so Sean will have the maximum amount of time to plot our demise.

    I’m actually impressed I got all the important info out despite being doped up on cough syrup. I did however forget to add that through the smoking hole in Pellaeons uniform you see a thin vest of light armor.

  3. Also, Araris wants to do something to boost the image of the Jedi in the Empire- he’s thinking about running an ad campaign. Slogan: “The Force- be a part of it!”

    Jesse, I assumed the was some armor involved. Otherwise, Palleon is a BAMF on a level Barabels can only dream of.

  4. Eli looks forward to holding his hand out at people to get what he wants. He doesn’t have force grip but they don’t know that.
