Raviel's Raid (now OPEN)

[Triune]

*The courier slips from hyperspace into the Dathomir system. Raviel used a rarely used vector to bring the ship out across the system from the fleet that guards the Ebonclaw holding. Shutting down nearly every system save life support and sensors he used inertia and occasional bursts from the engines to guide him in. He had no reason to be here thusly had to be cautious about his approach. Time passed and eventually he glided past the various satelites. He brought the engines back on line and landed on a plateau some miles from the Facility. They didn't need to see him arrive in a courier vessel. The less they knew the better. He left the ship behind for now and made his way to the facility.*

[Triune]

*It took him more time then he had planned but he arrived at the Facility. Walking across the practice field he weaves among the various recruits, Danthiri, Dathomiri and Defel in the midst of training. They pay him little attention which suits him fine. He reaches the lift and soon is traveling down into the hard stone of the mesa.*

[Triune]

*Deep within the facility in the bio-suit lab Raviel sits in front of the terminal. With deft fingers he bypasses the various control codes and soon the factory organ begins to pulsate. A splash follows and soon a suit is being fed and grown into it's mature form. This one was of Thorn... Fingers flew again and soon one of Tiera is growing. It continues on; Adesia, Adena, Kit. Each suit is removed and carefully stowed in a satchel. Only then does he consider getting an organ out of here. Looking at the two he realizes that would be nigh impossible so he checks the supply listings to see if there are replacements on site... Several moments click by before a smile grows on his face. There was one in storage. The vat itself was simple and easily build with the right schematics which was downloaded into his slicer glove's memory Even the chemicals used were obtainable, it was the factory that made it difficult.
He left the room behind and descended five more levels to find the storage room. The High security proved less then a challenge to him as soon he was back in the lift with a rather large suitcase in tow. Eventually he reached the surface again and slipped away once more, proving himself to be the ghost in the machine. He made for his vessel.*

[Triune]

*It takes longer for him to get to the courier this time around but he is carrying more. He stows the material into a few hidden compartments he made on the trip here and buttons up the vessel. Soon its engines warm up and streaks skyward. The velvet blackness of space greets him as he dispenses with subtlty and goes in for speed, the courier, build with the finest the Republic had to offer rockets for that 'back door' hyperspace vector. Sensors picked up the picket vessels vectoring to an intercept course. Raviel grinned and pushed the engines well past the redline. He would make it or explode in the process. Despite the warning lights and claxtons the courier reached the Vector ahead of the Pickets. As the Nav transferred the calculations Raviel triggered the comm unit in the vessel.*

******COMM LINK******

"On behalf of the Republic I thank you for allowing me this fact finding mission, I'm sure the Senate will be pleased with the findings."

******COMM LINK******

He used the voice of Senator Elexia Banu of Corellia knowing it would be something the young hard nosed senator would indeed do. The vessel rocketed off into Hyperspace bound for Bandomeer.

[zara]

Three Lambda Shuttles exit hyperspace in the Bandomeer system. The three ships are searching for a single Republic courier, their sensors searching for any ships matching the discription of the courier, and for any residue of the ship leaving the system via hyperdrive

[Triune]

*Raviel's 'acquired' Courier has indeed left a trail heading for the main planet. With Bandomeer no doubt he hopes to confuse his trail with the dozens of others that use this system as a waypoint.*

[zara]

After finding the trail the three ships follow it towards the main planet, the main and center ship goes faster then the two on the sides,they moved slower so as to make sure the courior, had not veired away from its coarse towards the planet. the first ship arives at the planet and waits for its counterparts before decending to the planets surface

[Triune]

*Perhaps it was just luck or perhaps it's because he's paranoid, Whatever the case Raviel indeed expected to be followed so landed his courier as soon as he could in one of the large bays at the main port. His cargo safely hidden away he left the courier behind knowing full well he'll leave people willing to talk about his passing. He needed to lead his pursuers away from the port and their ships...*

[zara]

When the two ships arived at the planets 'sphere they reported that the ship had indeed continued down onto the planet,and so the three Lambda Shuttles follow down what they beleive to be the same path. The ships land and a task group of 7 soldiers exit each of the ships, all re wearing matching combat suits, and all wearing helmets.

We are going to split up, 4 groups of 5, if anything is found of our target, I want to be notified before even approching him or her. I want you three squads looking for the ship, and I want the fourth looking for the pilot in the city, just incase he left his ship, I will stay here at the ship incase of our target trys to get away while we are looking.

As the 4 groups spread out, the speaker enters back into the lead ship, brings it up some 600 feet, and scans all ship movment, hoping to keep the target from getting away

[Triune]

*Raviel moves through the city like a veritable ghost, once a good half-hour away from the port he and any decent trace of him vanishes. In the intervening hour he collects what he needs from the shops and houses of the city, their occupants wholy unaware of his presence in them. In the end he stands in an alley with the clothing he wore to leave his trail in his hands along with a well made pseudo-flesh mask, the material republic spies use, of a generic male Danthiri. These he stuffs in a trash bin. If his pursuers use standard search techniques they'll find it soon enough along with a 'carelessly dropped' ticket stub for a berth on a passenger barge headed back the Hydrian way to Coruscant within the hour. He now wore the outfit of a Jedi, his head covered with a bio-mask that gave him the appearance of a human. He would take a hidden position to see if this would lure away his pursuers.*

[zara]

After an hours of scouring the port, the three teams looking for the ship had located the ship, and two left to help assist search the city, Another 2 hours allowed them to uproot the pseudo-flesh mask and clother left by the target, as well as a ticket stub for Coruscant.
with one squad watching the ship, and two still searching the city, the 4th reports back with the items supect of belonging to the Republic personel. After looking at the items, the head gives orders via comlink to all four groups

:::I Need the two teams in the city to report to the suspect ship, once there, you will quitly enter the ship, I want as little trouble as possible out of this. the team here will start for Courescant in this ship, and after the ship is searched most of you will follow after in our other two ships, but I and 3 others will follow in the Replic Corrior, it may hel us once we get there:::

As these Orders are followed, the commander heads for the suspect ship, as the search teams look through the ship.

[Triune]

*Eavesdropping on their frequency isn't difficult considering he has the same comm links they do so Raviel has their plans. He has a small window of opprotunity here but he had to take it. Already hidden near his ship he takes a moment to slice into the port's scheduling system and schedules the other two Ebonclaw vessels for immediate, top-priority full engine diagnostic, which involves removing them from the ship for part by part examination. Yes he can sneaky that way. When that is done Raviel, safe in his Jedi disguise, moves to confront the five troopers guarding his ship. He sets off a jamming signal to keep them from alerting their commander as he fights them. He relies on his fine grasp of unarmed fighting styles to incapacitate them quickly. Taking them by surprise he knocks out one before the other four know he's there, the second falls almost as quickly. The remaining three put up a fight and receive minor injuries for their troubles but regardless they delay him long enough that as the last falls the squad of ten arrive on the scene.
He has no choice, he ignites his cerulean blue sabre and ways in. Doing his best he to limit the fatal wounds he knows he's fighting time as well as these warriors. Time passes, battle rages, eventually he fells them but not without injury to himself. Collecting the two adu'dhaera that wounded him slightly he hurries onto the courier, battens the hatches and quickly cycles through the start up sequence. Too much time has passed, too much.*

[zara]

The lead Arrives at the bay in which the suspect ship is docked, after arival is announced and no responce is made the Lead knows that the 15 are dead or incapacitated, which means that the Republic Agent had not only come back for his ship, but also taken down 15 ebon troopers. caustion would be needed here.
Opening the door to the docking area, the Lead sees the ships engines are alive and preping for launch, Lead runs up to the ship worried only with opening the ships door

[Triune]

*Raviel notices on the monitors the leader of the ebonclaw patrol enter the bay and race to the hatch. He double checks the lock just to be sure then toggles the external speaker.*

"Attention Ebonclaw. I am sorry about your men but they left me precious little choice. I would vacate the area around the ship if I were you, these thrusters are lible to burn you. May the Force be with you." he toggles off the speaker and laughs at his words, a solidly Corsuscant accent that will infuriate rather then sooth. Oh he was cruel. He reved the engines to help 'convince' his pursuer he wasn't lying about the thrusters.

[zara]

After hitting the door controls a few times, the agents messages comes through

BASTARD Lead wispers, then turns on her comlink to the ship pilots :::I want one ship up in the air NOW, I dont want to loose this scum, also send a message to our first ship, see if we cant get them back here before it is to late.:::

The Lead moves out of the bay, knowing that the agent spoke the trueth. Once in the Halls outside the bay the Lead finds the downed ebon, crouching down to one Lead removes the troopers helmet, placeing a chical under his nose he wakes with a start.

You are injured, Stay here with the rest of the men, someone will be back to pick you up later, but for now all the ships are leaving

The Lead then set back for the one remaining ship at a dead run telling the pilot to have the ship off the ground by the time Lead gets there
