A shipment en route to Telos exits hyperspace and is immediately beset upon by fighters and bombers; defense escorts are targeted and their weapons and shields are torn apart simultaneously. The trade ships are next, any defenses quickly being obliterated, shields taken out. Escort fighters are disabled, but not destroyed.
A message is routed through the trade convoy: "We want the cargo, not your lives. We won't harm you if you don't resist."
Shuttles are dispatched to the various trade ships, with fighters hovering around the escort ships. Communications were jammed at the start of the attack.
Nym readies his weapons, nodding to his assembled crew: Shiva, Blacklight, and Rogue, along with several other men.
Everything on Telos seems normal, and no notice is taken of the attack.
You know those ships attacking the Lucrehulk look really cool, I wish there was more artwork/pics portraying them individually, maybe some canon and fanon sources about them.
So... anyone want to RP as the trade convoy?
* Most ships were instantly crippled withouth their shields. However one defence ship, a refurbished crusader, used it's point defence system to shoot down most incoming solid projectiles (i'm assumin most of your ships are fighters? were's a list?). Their shields started regenerated as it responded with concentrated AF laser fire towards to enemy fighters/bombers.
Still the trade convoy knew they were up against uneven odds. With their exterior defences gone their hopes lied in their interior barricades and obstacles. The head merchant Norun Gep and his men cowarded away at the back of the ship, they were no real fighters. Probably never touched a blaster. *
Srav Kelborn sighed and took command
* This convoy was one of the few trade groups that headed south to Taris. Telos was adjecent to the mandalorian sector. These traders called in for protection after the various coordinated attacks by the pirate 'nym'. No message was sent yet by the pirate force, the traders still hoped that they were simple raiders, though the mandalorian veteran knew better. *
"Let Norun Gep here communicate with them, they might mistake us for weak prey. Hurry up and activate whatever these oldtimers still have in store. The convoy security guards come with me we'll set up barricades."
"Damned pirates! We are nothing but honest traders. You make us chose between death & poverty... well you just try to come and get us!"
Norun tried but made a weak impression, it didn't matter.
* Defensive turrets & barricades were set up, all vents were opened to prevent gas attacks. The hangar defence turrets on the inside were well concealed and could take them by surprise. Lastly the lightly armored security guards put on gas masks and made up the first lines of defence with some of the mandalorians which gave them hope. *
OOC: untill now your takeovers have been kind of a cake walk... Whilst most of our events here are a lot more risky. as your infamy grows, so grow the defences. telos was too close to mando territory to let this slip xD.
i agree with wouts statement, we face odds, so should you. :P
