Hoth: Blood and Ice

[Dapper Dog]

"Of course they have ions. Damn pirates." He stared at them flying as they blasted their hull and their electrical parts were starting to blink. "Why didn't the Republic tell us they had financial backers?! Those ships are not standard anywhere I've seen! Why is the Empire here?! And who in the hell is Syrian?! "

He flipped the switch on the thrusters "Can NOBODY do proper recon in this BLASTED REPUBLIC?!" He was clearly annoyed at this point and would be getting some answers later, if they managed to survive all this.

"Just...just hold on." And with that, he hit it the thrusters and the ship jumped in quickly to speed, moving quick enough to make the enemy leader get sloppy and run into some debris.

Lana came to the bridge and placed a hand on Nudimsu’s shoulder and said in practiced Cheunh, “K'uvor csei vutasahn can ch'a cssin's'et, ch'acico.”

“May the Force make you fierce.” She nodded as the enemy commander smashed into debris... the craft spinning off it's intercept trajectory but still intact but for now no longer an issue.

OOC: In Basic <<Focus that rage into a knife, beloved>> Also the commander is out of the fight.

[Dapper Dog]

Meanwhile one of the wings breaks off to hit the big easy target. The big'uns have most loot!

OOC: Fly to Close of the Cruiser and hits for 7 system strain and activates Linked once and passes a boost die to next target! So that is 14 system strain total, 7 per hit.

[Garth Thul]

Garth wasn't going to wait for the Pirates to turn their aim at Miyi and himself

"Hol' tight darl' this is gonna get a li'l crazy." With those ominous words Garth let his senses reach out and flew straight between a couple of the shrieks, his unconventional tactics and Force enhanced reactions making it harder for the enemy to draw a bead on him.

"Ah dunno what Nudi got's in mind, but we're coming through this in one piece."

Action: Activate Sense (Committing 1 Force Dice to Upgrade the first two attacks on me each round once)
Maneuver: Evasive Maneuvers (Upgrade all attacks made on and made by the Sparrow once until the end of my next turn)
Destiny: If targeted Garth will flip to upgrade the pool again

[Dapper Dog]

Right idea, wrong aim... but now two wings were harrying the cruiser! The ion cannons don't find purchase but they detonate sensitive debris that creates a cascade effect of explosions and more debris around the cruiser!

OOC: Fly to Close but missed, using 5 advantage to generate an explosion that creates veritbale minefield around the Cruiser upgrade any piloting rolls by 1. Use advantage to give next ally a boost die.

Miyi tightened the strap securing her into her seat, and dropped a hand to her belly. It always made her a little nauseous when Garth spun, but there were few pilots in the galaxy she could bear to have relegate her to the passenger seat.

No actions this round

[Hacha Tsuko]

"Ok good, that stopped the immediate problem" Hacha's fingers fly across control panels and breakers, resetting overloaded sections and desperately working to divert power so that the flow regulates. Hacha's frown goes and the lights on the system only occaisionally blip green, for the most part remaining yellow.

Perhaps it was some strange power fluctuations that distracts the group that had been greedily chasing the Turtle, and they are hit by the debris their comrades created with their willy nilly firing.

Delaying Action Round 1-Damage Control (Strain)- Mechanics/Intelligence-Boost from mechanics tools-Difficulty reduced to Easy due to Signature Vehicle: 4eP+2eA+1eB+1eD 4 successes, 4 advantage, 1 Triumph

System Strain: 7/16

[Dapper Dog]

“Please tell me that your plan is to do more than be shot at, Turtle? I expected as much of Melmoar, but I expected better of you.”

“Miscellaneous, perhaps make yourself useful and take the heat off Melmoar… if you are capable of that,” she said as she gained a line and took out two star fighters neatly.

“In case you are confused, Melmoar is the large cruiser built like a nemian whale.”

She spun her fighter to prepare for another pass and added, “Red-1 out.”

OOC: Give next ally a boost after Maneuver to Close of Collison pirates, hit with linked weapon for 10 Hull Trauma, then linked for another 10!

Only 1 left now in that group Collison Pirate group. Next player.

Drascovina versus Collison Pirates! Gunnery: 2eP+2eA+2eB+2eD 4 successes, 2 advantage


Drascovina versus Collison Pirates! Gunnery: 1eB 1 success, 1 advantage

[Pipka]

Watching the lead Shriek tumble off from a glance with an asteroid, Pipka quickly shifts over to the auto blaster

He takes his time to line up his sights just outside the standard range of the weapon system, and unleashes strafing shots across the wing tracking them. His first target veers away from the shots, but collides with a large piece of debris, adding itself to the debris field. Pulling his fire across his next target, landing several hits with deadly accuracy and clipping a third with the end of his salvo.

[Dapper Dog]

Pipka wipes out another minion flight!

OOC: Just assume it was the flight on the Turtle, they are gone now, one flight is at 1 member, and one full flight on Cruiser, next PC.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Going to allow the others a chance to act but it is safe to say that you will probably survive this. So... if you wish to post on the surface.

Escape via a Ship: The pilot, co-pilot can assist, makes a roll for the ship this is a Hard (3 purple dice) Piloting Space check with two setback due to the weather conditions. If the roll is failed the crew must make a Resilience or Coordination check at Hard (3 purple dice) difficulty or suffer 5 wounds, not soakable and a critical Injury. They are also lost in the Icy Wastes. If the roll succeeds, they land at Echo Base in the next time slot. The ship does not get through unscathed, it suffers 5 hull trauma damage and 5 system strain; if the roll is failed it also suffers a Critical Hit. Armor applies.

Welcome to Hoth. Please make a separate thread on Hoth, for the roll if you so choose or you can wait till combat is done.

[Lucinia Malveaux]

Tapping on the console, Lucinia few targeting data directly to Jan. "No shortage of targets." She murmured dryly. "Here, let me sort it out for you."

--------------------------------

Maneuver - assist Jan
Action - Fire Discipline (using discipline)
D1 Ship Combat, Fire Discipline: 1eP+3eA+3eD 3 successes


1 boost to Jan's next Gunnery roll. 1 boost to some imaginary gunner

[Jan Melmoar]

"Oh darling you simply shouldn't have. And me with this big trigger."
Jan jams her finger down on said trigger with glee as the turret roars, firing a barrage of deadly accurate fire into the path of the enemy flight.

---------------

Day 1 EM, Delaying Action, Gunnery firing on full flight. 1 Boost and 1 upgrade from Lucinia, true aim, base difficult is hard from silhouette and 1 defence: 7eP+1eA+2eB+3eD+1eS 7 successes, 2 advantage


Firing at the full flight

Use 2 advantage for linked
2nd hit for 12 damage

[Captain Syrian]

Syrian smashed his fist on the console and said, “You had one job!”

He then howled, “Mixo!”

He cleared his throat and then said, “Break off pursuit for now, let us finish this rabble.”

[Screen wipe]

As the ships flee the delaying action the two ships of the Republic and Empire detonate and explode over the planet but thankfully the makeshift squadron bought enough time for the extra supplies to get down to the planet.

OOC: The pirates scatter after the blast from the cruiser.
