Jax, Karas and Triz goes after a gang base to wipe it out.
OOC Date: November 23, 2016
Location: Somewhere out there
Participants: Jax Greystorm, Karas Darkwing, Triz Dermout, Kath Hounds
Mission had came on down on high, there was a private space port that needed to be destroyed. Intel was there was a district revolting against the gang running the level. Ganger troops and weapons were being moved to the level and a private space port was being using as a beach head.. That's where two members of Spark Squadron and Corsair Leader come into play. They destruction of the space port would slow down the retalation of the gang and quelling the rebellion.. Jax was suppose to be supplying air support while Triz and Karas destroyed the space port.
Jax adjusts his sensors, "Alright guys, We're hitting at the early morning cycle. So we're catching security unaware. Expect some resistance. They have some anti-air and fighter capability. Remember damaging or taking out the space port is our objective."
Triz had climbed in her X-wing and went through the usual rituals. Not to say she was superstitious or anything but the right foot in first, right belt was tightened before the left, the stick was moved right before left and a kiss to her fingers and placed on the panel before her with a "Ready big boy?" DATE gives a beep as the systems are all powered on and Triz grins "Yes, DATE, love you too." The little droid beeps happily.
<<Copy that, Lead>> comes Triz's voice over the coms as she nudges her nimble fighter even closer to Karas's ship. Till her wing tip is way overlapping his and she is peering at him...with her tongue stuck out. A laugh and she gets back into position, still very close, but more in position. <All systems go, ready to take out this sucka>> she adds.
Having been pretty busy since he's come to the base here on Nal Hutta, Karas was awake and already in the hanger bay. He yawns a little as he goes over his pre-flight check as the orders are relayed to him. HE nods his head more to himself as Valkyrie has been loaded into the droid socket right behind the cockpit of the X-Wing. Once he was ready, the canopy closes and the engines begin to come alive as he stretches within his seat. Once he is giving the go ahead, Karas lifts the fighter up using the repulsors, and soon he is streaking out of the hanger bay.
Flying in tandem with Triz, he rolls around her fighter as they streak off towards space. <<Copy that Lead.>> he says into his comms as he follows the others. Having the coordinates already programmed into his nav computer and droid. <<What kind of weaponry and defenses are we looking at lead?>> he asks.
The space port was on their sensors and just out of view of their eyes. As they go racing towards the destination. Jax checks his sensors. <<Alright. We'll be coming into site in 30 seconds. They'll know we're coming but with other spaceport traffic hopefully they won't know we're going in hot till you open fire. So Which one of you two taking lead on the torpedo run. Get your torpedoes armed. If they don't have a fighter compliment on patrol they will soon.>> Jax adjusts his sensors and sets his shields to double front.
Triz can only smirk at Karas as he rolls around her ship. She is about to do something else crazy but then there is Jax coming over the coms so she gets serious. <<Copy that, Jax, arming torps>> she replies as she arms the weapon system. <<All set, going in>> and she takes Spark 4 towards the spaceport. That's when the space infront of her lights up with a wall of anti-air fire. "Holly hell," she says in her cockpit as the explosions grow ever so closer <<Have to abort, I don't see a way through this crap, not at this angle>> she informs as she brings the X-wing sharply to the right.
Karas grins at Triz, he was going to wait to see what she does, but when Jax comes back over the comms, Karas is back on his focus. Keeping his S-Foils closed, using the extra speed, he pulls back flanking Trix his wingman. As she begins to go on her attack run, Karas opens his S-Foils. Karas shadows Triz, and as she aborts, <<I'm on target.>> he says as he does a tight roll and while in mid-roll he fires off one of his torps. As that plasma torp streaks in, he breaks left exiting and going after his wingman. The torpedo hits but the armor is thick. <<Scored a hit, but it looks like we may have to double up on those guns.>> he calls out.
Jax checks his sensors, << Nothing on scope as far as fighter support. I'm going on a run against the lasers.>>> Jax starts a run on one of the anti-air laser turrents on the space port. The A-wing nimbly twisting and turning as his laser fire at the laser gun taking it out. Then he raisies up into another run.
As Karas and Triz start their own attack runs, the torpedoes cause explosions acroos the space port. People start to scramble as hangers explode and ships are destroyed.
Triz rolls in from a different angle this time. Actually she does a feint showing high but then dives down low as the guns are way to slow to track her or just wasn't expecting such a move and easily evades the fire coming up at her. Damn what a pilot. She lines up her target <<On Target>> she calls and fires a two round burst of the torpedos. She doesn't get to see the damage inflicted at first, not till she rolls her X-wing upside down and cranes her neck <Hit on one, miss on the second. One hanger is gone, minor damage to the spaceport>> she says as she pulls out of the target zone after flying through the mushroom of a fire ball, her forward deflector shields liting up with strikes from the debris. "You ok, DATE, got a little toasty there," she asks to which the R2 seems to be scolding her "It's ok, you are still here, calm down and keep your scans going for any enemy craft."
<<Hey Spark 3, wanna me show you how it's done?>> laughter is heard right before the com is cut off. Then with a bit of a serious tone <<Spark 4 will make another run on the spaceport from sector 3 Alpha>> She tells the other pilots so they do not have a friendly fire incident.
Spark 3 is on Spark 4's tail, though as he follows her he spies another of their objectives and he begins his roll and drops in below Spark 4, which may cause a bit of a issue with the enemies tracking of their fighters. Still Karas gives a bit of a smile when he hears the progress of Triz, <<It's all in the wrist.>> he says as he kicks up the speed of his -65c. The X-Wing streaks in towards the landing pads, moving fast, Valkyrie inputs the targeting data for him and Karas waits and fires two torpedoes. Though as he does two of the laser cannons focus fire on him, causing Karas to weave through the cacophony of red lasery death that is coming his way. One of his torps miss but the second strikes home, <<One Landing Pad down.>> he says into his come as he climbs and banks away. <<Good news on no fighters, but we better hurry before they are able to launch fighters.>>
Jax checks his sensors scopes, << Looks like we got a couple of bogueys coming in. It's like a flight of Z-95s. Lets put this thing to bed Spark 3 and 4.>> Jax goes flying in targetting one of the remaining two anti-aircraft guns, He flips the laser cannons tracking hit shot and shoots behind him occupying the guns being a pest. Though nothing more than a bit of light damage.
A pair of Z-95's come racing into the area of enagement. They were specs to the naked eyes but they're making a straight light to the X-wings and the A-wing. They moving in a tight pattern that betray them not your normal spacer thug. They have a discipline to their moments tht these guys are military trained.
Triz tries to make it look like she is running but at the last minute she pulls hard back on the stick bringing the X-Wing over in a tight loop so that now Spark 4 is diving straight down at the spaceport. She has to jink a little as a laser canon locks on to her for a moment which throws off her first shot but she steadies up and shoots again, striking the target. <<One is a miss, second struck...>> but her words are cut off as as she sees the spaceport starting to sag <<One more hit should do it, Boss>> she directs to Jax. Doing a reverse loop to escape the explosions that come up to meet her she grimaces as the straps strain against her and puts pressure on the wound she had received the other day. "F, that hurt," she tells Date who beeps worriedly "No no, I'm fine."
<<Forming up with you, Jax>> she says, her voice a tad strained. Hearing Jax <<Copy that, Boss>> "DATE, find me those targets and give me a vector to them. It isn't long before DATE directs the sensors to show Triz where the targets are coming from. She flips the switch on her controls to select the lasers. <<Do we engage, Boss?>>
Karas managed to take out another of the landing pads, he quickly pull a tight turn to the right and climbs rolling his fighter wing over wing. He checks to make sure that Jax and Triz are alright and he quickly forms back up with Triz, she wasn't far from him. Copying her pattern, he flies at her tail, chasing her and moving his X-Wing so that the guns have a harder time hitting either of them. They had to finish off this space station and as a confirmed hit is done to the station, he smiles, <<Not bad Spark 4, but finish the job next time.>> he calls as he fires two of his own torpedoes. He banks hard right as he climbs, a large explosion erupts behind him. Valkyrie tuttles in happiness until it notes the incoming Z-95s coming in. Warning him, Karas looks to his screens, "Yeah I see them, lets see what the boss says." he tells Valk as he listens to the comms.
<<We running Sparks. Our mission is complete. It's best to get our ships back to Chief without a scratch. I know I know, it's against our standards but we stick to mission and don't damage hard to replace equipment.>> WIth that Jax takes lead of the formation. They turn and burn to exit the area of egagement. Swooping down among the durasteel canyons of the area. The gang's private space port behind them going up in a firery ball and scrap of metal to fall into the bottomless pit.
<<Har har, Karas. The girls down at the bar said the same about you, I hear>> Triz snickers. <<Nice shot though>> she tells him as the spaceport crumbles. She wags her ship from side to side <<Always looking at my ass aren't you Karas?>> when she notices Karas move Spark 3 behind her. <<Roger that, Boss>> Spark 4 replies with a hint of disappointment in her voice. "Date, I want you to monitor those Headhunters for me" to which the R2 unit beeps.
<<Roger that Lead.>> Karas says into his comms. Closing the S-Foils, Karas laughs when Triz speaks to him, <<Oh I make sure to finish and why would I not look at your ass. You got a helluva an ass to stare at.>> he laughs. He brings his fighter up along her right wing, "Valk, keep an eye on those fighters, if they get into combat range let me know." he says to his R2 unit as they turn and burn.
The pair of Z-95 are moving quick and arent having any of the Kath Hounds Fighter Squadrons shannignas to loose them. <<Going Hot people. Bandit 1 and 2 are closing, we're not going to be able to slip away. Fire at will.>>
Bandit 1 breaks off from formation opening up on Jax's A-Wing. The Agile A-wing dodging the Z-95 as he takes it on a chase. Then with a flick of a switch Jax rotates his A-wing laser cannons firighting at the Z-95 causing it's shields to crackle visibily.
Bandit 2 though is a more patient hunter he slips into the air speeder traffic here before popping up from behind an uncle Wyrrick's taste Cake delivery truck and scores a blast on Spark 4's beautiful x-Wing back side. The X-wings shields assorbing it.
<<Perv. You don't see me staring at guy's asses do you. Well except for Jax's. He's got a great one>> Just then DATE starts beeping wildly <<Crap...> is all Triz gets out before her ship is rocked hard by the attack from the rear <<Shields took a hit, repairing, going after the port bandit>> "Date, fix that would you please" and Triz is kicking the X-wing to roll over top of Jax. She is going after the one that is on him. Gotta protect the Boss, right? As she clears his ship she reaches up behind her, cuts the flow to the starboard engine, while giving full throttle to the port engine making the craft spin in space. Once she is where she wants she increases the flow again and lines up the headhunter. Twin beans lance through the darkess of space as she fires her lasers at it. The Headnunter's shields take the second strike as her first shot missed due to the wild move she put on.
Getting an alert of the Z-95s closing in on them, he curses. <<Wow, I'm hurt.>> he says as he gets the warning. He loses sight of the second bandit, this is his wing man he's watching Triz's back. Slowing his speed, Karas sees the Z-95 pop up from behind cover, <<SPARK 4 BREAK RIGHT!!>> already the command was too late. The strike foils on his X-Wing engages and he quickly takes off after the Z-95. The X-Wing is easily able to out pace the Headhunter, the targeting reticle hovers over the enemy craft, there is no hesitation, Karas unleashes a torrent of shots which reduces the Headhunter to pieces as he rolls through the explosion. <<Again, always saving your ass.>> he says to Spark 4.
Bandit 2 dies in a fireball as a the Uncle Wyrrick's Tasty Cake Deliver Speeder goes zipping through the fire ball and the debris. The Dug pilot honking his horn and shooting a rude gesture at Karas as he gets the heck out of the air space of the fight.
Bandit2 breaks off the nimble A-wing and uses a K-turn to come around in tight turn opening fire at Spark 4. The Z-95 shoots missing as Jax has turned himself opening fire at the Z-95. His lasers failing the Z-95 shield and leaving the Z-95 a smoking damaged wreck that's still in the air by only Force knows how. Jax is forced to brake off as a swoop gang comes barreling into his path causing him to pull up. <<Emporer's Black bones!>>
<<Thanks, Karas>> Triz says with real meaning. The move she put on after getting his aggravates her side, it's just tender is all, as she slews her X-wing to take another shot at the Headhunter. "How we doing back there, Date?" She asks as she gets the targeting information she wants and pulls the trigger yet again. The Headhunter was a sitting duck after Jax's shots so it's a no brainier for her and the craft goes up in a fire ball. <<Sorry Boss, had to do it.>> She rolls the X-ing back into formation <<Shall we get outa here while the getting's good?>>
Karas smirks a little, but he is now flying cover for both members of the squad. The X-Wing cruises at high speeds, he weaves through the traffic, than pulling up. Seeing that both Jax and Triz take out the other bandit, <<Good kill.>> he says into his com quickly catching up to them as they begin to head away. <<We should bug out, before more reinforcements come.>>
Jax moves into lead of the formation, <<Wise plan Spark 3. Lets buggey out of here. Oh and you took out the space port and got a kill. Drinks are on you.>> He says as they bug out, << Oh and Spark 4. Your doing the report after stealing my kill.>>
<<Yep, drinks on you, Spark 3>> Triz quickly responds. But then she hears the orders from Jax "Damnit? she says to her self before keying the coms <<Roger that, Boss>> she says with a whole lot of no enthusiasm in her voice. She maintains her position, heading back to base.
Grinning, Karas shrugs a bit to himself. "I will pay for drinks and food" he says. Falling in with the others, Karas is behind the others, just watching their backs as they scramble. Scanners and sensors are still going scanning for other enemies.
