Eavesdropping on the core

[Halan]

Balmorra
A factory world located at the fringes of the Galactic Core. Wide plains surround the planet's capitol.

* During the mandalorian wars one of the things that plagued the mandalorian war effort was the lack of intelligence from the core, republic fleet's would come out of the core without any form of warning for mandalorian fleet's in the outer and mid rim leaveing them exposed to revan's attack's, this time around the mandalorians will not repeat the same mistake's, several small and medium sized scout ship's come out of hyperspace over the factory world of Balmora, this is not an invasion force but something more Intriguing these are ship's to set up a covert listening post on the planet far away from the capital full of people working day and night but on the wide open plain's of the planet similar to that of dantooine, the scout ship's covertly slip under the screens of the planet's sensor's and gently touch down on the southern Hemisphere far away from the planet's capital city*

[Halan]

* As the engine's of the ship's power down silence can be heard over the planet, as the ramp's from the ship's slowly lower themselves troop's silently walk out of there ship's with there rifle's holstered checking for any sign's of life. behind the small force of troop's myself and General Bendak walk down a ramp onto the surface of the tranquil world*

" General send out the scout's to see for any life farmer's, kath hounds, gizka I don't care make sure there is nothing within a hundred mile Radius of this place"

" What if there are mandalore"

" Than load them onto the ship's when we leave after the post is set up"

"Yes mandalore I will send out the scout's at once"

* After several minute's of preperation several scout's are ready with there stealth generators posed to work ready to search the immediate area of the planet, They turn and run off into the distance after several meter's they disapear into the planet's surface*

[Halan]

* The normal mandalorian troop's file out across the plains of the planet looking for any sign of life acros the long un-ending grassy plains of the planet's*

* General Bendak stands next to me with a air of uncertainess amongst his stance*

"Mandalore what do you plan to do with this base once it is set up, we could take this world"

" yes we could but than we would repeat the mistake's of the past, attacking worlds for honor but with little Strategic gain duro yes was a great battle but we gained little from it, onderon we had far to many troop's caught up in the occupation and quelling the resistance of that world, revan used our thrist for battle aginast us, what is the point of a second crusade if we gain nothing from the first, this time around we will gain honor and achieve our's goal's in one sweep of our fleet, I promise you that much now contact the scout's and see if the capital is the only place full of life on this planet'

[Halan]

* After several hour's time of waiing on the planet waiting for the scout's to report back there is no word, wheather this is a good thing or not is still to be determined but if they don't report back within the next hour than there is something wrong indeed*

*********** time passes********

" mandalore, three of our patrol's have reported back saying they found no sign;s of life except for some beast track's several day's old however one patrol has not reported back

" We will have to find then than, are you sure the scan's didn't pick up anything from orbit"

" unfortunently we couldn't scan the surface without giveing away a faint I.D Signature , we are doing this the old fasioned way

" very well round up the troop's we will have to find them"

[Halan]

* The patrol set's out across the surface of the world, the sun gently beaming against the patrol's armor while a gently breeze can be felt all around however here are still no visable sign'a or life let along Civilisation this far from the planet's Industrial center, suddenly in the distance a blaster shot can be heard, followed by a small explosion seemingly sounding the same as a small fragmentation grenade, the patrol grip there rifles harder and wait for order's*

" take up position's just on the edge of tha ridge we can see what is happening below"

[Halan]

* As the troop's file over the ridge below a small encampment of farmer's by the look's of them are fireing at several scout's pinned down behind a rock formation, the farmer's fire in inaccurate to be kind but still leave's the scout's unable to fire back, the main force of the mandalorian troops consisting of about 100 solider's begain to fire on the encampment forceing the farmer's to find cover in the settlement*

[Halan]

* Dispite the fact that the farmer's have a number advantage they put up little resistance in the face of mandalorian troop's. The troop's walk into the settlement after Silencing the miltia's resistance, hundred's of farmers and there family’s are marched out at the butt of blaster rifle's*

"Mandalore what should we do with them"

" load them up into the ship's and we will take them back with us after the post is set up"

[Halan]

ooc: im typing this at 4 am so give me the benifit of the doubt please

* After the questionable resistance was silenced the tech begin to finish there work on the planet, severa; relay dishes are placed thoughout the immediate area of the landing site which wil hopefully be able to report anything from this quadrant of space*

[Halan]

* After several hour's of work tech's are still working on getting the large relay dishes to become operational, The small number of troop's that where on the scout ship's have begun to increase there patrols of the area looking for any more signs of life farming complex's, animals of any kind that could hinder the listening post's work once it is operational*

******** time passes*********

* General Bendak walk's up to me after over seeing the technicians work on the dish's*

" Mandalore the tech's are nearly inished and they will begin work on the defensive measure of the post, they will not be much to hold of anay troop's but than this planet does not expect us so they shouldn't be need"

" Get them set up anyway This base is important we need it up and running"

" yes, mandalore"

[Halan]

* After several hour's of work the post is ready to be activated, the blaster turrent's will keep any lifeform's away from the base while the tech's can do there work in peace away from the eye's of the planet's capitl as the post emitt's a energy Signature they shouldn't recognise*

* General Bendak Walk's towrads me and watch's as I survey the planet's grassy plains*

" Are we ready to go General"

" Yes mandalore, all troop's have reported back with no further sign's of life and the remaining farmers and there families are onboard the ship's"

" Good let's leave and let the tech's get on with there job"

**********short amount of time passes**************

* The engine's of the scout ship's fire up and raise from the surface of the planet and head to orbit leaveing the post behind on the planet without the inhabitant's knowing they have mandalorians on there tranquil surface*
