Since Carratos has been chosen to be the Imperial Throne world, its defensive network has been brought up to a higher standard as of recently. Around 500 space defense platforms orbit Carratos, like those once seen in orbit of Derilyn but retrofitted with the latest in advanced technology. These stations construct one of the layers in the planet’s defensive network. These platforms have two saucer-shaped sections connected by a thick central fuselage and measured 4,225 meters in length. Their armaments include 80 turbolaser and 40 double laser cannons along with the ability to house six squadrons worth of Chiss Clawcraft starfighters each. It could hold enough supplies to run for five years.

Some of these stations act as Imperial Customs Stations, that check all ships coming and going. Please make sure to dock at the Imperial Customs Station when directed or you will be fired upon without further warning. Carratos is the placement for the RGE Reserve Fleet, also know as Dread Fleet. This fleet is kept in orbit around Carratos continuisly until called upon for reinforcements.

Corey still locked in his cell, waiting to hear from Grand Admiral Tuulk on his ship and if he will see the leader of the RGE. He continues to sit being one with the force but his mind goes on his ship, Selena.

His hope lay in the hand of Tuulk but he can only wait, but for how long.

************************************************

Ire's shuttle arrives aboard the Atrocity to a grand precession, the Emperor exits the shuttle to a mass of troops and ship personnel to greet him as he quickly makes his way with Tuulk to the bridge. The Grand Admiral goes through the motions and gets the Atrocity ready for departure. With a flash of light, the Atrocity vanishes into hyperspace towards the ancient Sith world of Korriban.

[Sam Milla]

*The Fleet jumps into hyperspace*

[Emperor Ire]

As the Atrocity appears over Carratos, Grand Admiral Tuulk emerges from the turbolift on the floor of the Emperor's quarters while reading a datapad on the fleet ships available for the Empire to aid and fortify Kal'Shebbol. As he approaches the door, Tuulk presses the door signaler to announce a guest at the door, the door opens and the body of the Aa-gizani intruder lands at the feet of the Admiral. The Admiral is so startled at the sight he pulls his side arm and puts two in the creature's head on reflex alone. From the shadowy darkness only Ire's glowing red eyes can be seen as the Emperor slowly approaches the door. "I think we might need to make some adjustments to the Atrocity's on board sensors."

"Forgive me, milord... what the FRAK is that thing?" Tuulk asks in a semi-stat of horror.

"That is an Aa-gizani, its name means 'the Glittering Darkness'." Ire responds as he steps on the head of the Aa-gizani as he walks out of his room and towards the turbolifts. "These are the danger I spoke of."

"Milord, how did it get on board without being detected and into your stateroom of all places? Tuulk asks as he holsters his blaster and follows Ire.

"They have their ways, get that to Dr. Hazzilix and see if he can figure out a way of detecting them. Is my shuttle ready?" Ire inquires as he step into the lift.

"As always, milord." Tuulk replies as the doors to the lift close, the Admiral accompanies Ire to his shuttle bay where the Emperor boards a ship to the planet surface.

[Takeda]

The Banju-12 arrives in system and follows the nav beacons inbound.

"Carratos Contol, this it the Banju-12, we have been commandeered by one of your agents, requesting permission to land in a secure zone. We will need um, a medical team, there are some injured men aboard, and presumably a security or reception detail for your agent. Um... she is somewhat under the weather."

Ayu'lesh kicks back, not sure what the Imperials will do and nervous as hell about it.

[Gin Xyrin]

~walking over to Ayu'lesh gin places a hand on her shoulder and gives a light squeeze~ "kiddo breath, freaking out will solve nothing, stay calm if you let your nerves get to you bad things always happen. going into something like this is like walking into a rancors den wearing a shirt made outta fresh meat"

~walking away he checks his wounds knowing that the bandages really are proving useless he pulls them from his chest and puts his shirt on before sitting down right out side the cockpit with a cleaning set and his bryar pistol disassembling it and cleaning the sizeable amount of sand from it~

[Emperor Ire]

"Permission granted to land at Orbital Station 327, landing bay16, medical has been alerted and will be awaiting your arrival." the CATC controller informs the Banju-12 before issuing a grim warning. "Please follow the tracking beacons to your landing bay; do not deviate from flight path or you will be destroyed, do not make any hostile advances towards Imperial property or ships or you will be destroyed. Welcome to Carratos, Binju-12."

[Takeda]

Ayu'lesh looks up at Gin, and tries to take a deep breath.
"Thanks, this is a first for me. And I do not intend to make a habit of it, that is for sure."

Ayu'lesh pilots the ship along the indicated path until they arrive at Station 327, and land in Bay 16. As the ship touches down, she has Nissen fully spin down the engines, after the encounter she wants it to check the ship over fully before they head out again, that is if they are allowed.

As she gets the ship in order for sitting at port, she stand and limps to the back of the ship; pausing at the door of the room Ywlame had taken as her own, a bit past being patient, she slaps her palm on the door-frame as a knock, and takes no small glee at the fact it will likely feel to the witch like someone is hammering on her skull.

"Hey! We're here! I will get your men seen to, meet us in back."

When she gets back to the cargo hold, she finds she has to fight with and ultimately jury rig the controls for the main cargo hatch, that area had taken the brunt of the stray shots during the scuffle. As the door slowly grinds open, she is met by raised blasters of a security detachment.

"Whoa! We're all on your side here. I just got my ship and myself torn up trying to get your people back safe."

As much for emphasis to her statement, as to real pain and exhaustion, she leans up against the side of the bulkhead and waits for the door to lower enough for the troopers and the medical people to come on. If there were any immediate doubts crossing the mind of the troops outside, the image they are granted with is of a young-woman clothes torn, dirty and disheveled, splotches of blood all about her and a face that looks like it was used as a punching bag. She is armed, a pair of holstered blasters on her belt, and just stands there wearily as the first troopers come aboard one of which moves to take her weapons.

She lets him, not in the mood to argue about it or even resist. She looks over to him wearily,
"Crew... My Uncle and I, and our droid... He's big, construction droid, not aggressive, don't shoot either of them. Eight of your troops, stunned, in the hall, far side of cargo bay, 2 dead. Your witch, errr... agent, last room on the left before the cockpit; well last I checked... Tried to treat her wounds, got her revived, might have over-done it on the meds, I really did not want her dying on us... you all would probably not been happy about that. Give me a moment to rest, and I will try to retrieve the coordinates the pirates jumped us. It is not far out of here, only about 3-4 hours. I thought Imperial space was supposed to be nearly pirate free?"

[Gin Xyrin]

~looking down at Ayu'lesh gin smiles~ "Not a problem Kiddo, trust me not many people try to make a habit out of this, hell most try to avoid this situation"

~looking up from his spot as he finishes cleaning and reassembling the blaster he looks over with a chuckle~ "sure is a lot of you will be destroyed around here ain't there" ~standing he walks over to his gear in the workroom with a grunt his torso and arms still very sore he holsters the blaster~

~walking into the hall he leans agains the wall near the psycho witches room as Ayu'lesh hammers on the door. waiting he decides that he would do his best to look unarmed and willing to help in any way. grunting he looks down at his shirt realizing that on of his burns followed by the subsequent movement were bleeding slightly as were his arms~ "frak"

~grabbing some medical tape he starts wrapping the burns before sitting near the door discarding his shirt a second time showing the wrapping and bruising~

[Emperor Ire]

As the stormtroopers and medical units move into and through the Banju-12 to secure it, an Imperial Ensign walks into the landing bay and comes into sight of Ayu'lesh resting against the bulkhead and being stripped of her weapons. The Ensign approaches with a datapad in his hand and is looking at it intermittently as he walks closer. As he reaches the Banju-12, the young officer can hear Ayu'lesh say the word 'pirate' clearly as she speaks with the stormtrooper, the Ensign stops and bows his head to Ayu'lesh before introducing himself. "Greetings, welcome to Carratos Customs station 327, I am Ensign Darkstone and I hope we can make this moment of your time as painless as possible. Trooper, give her back her weapons, she is in no condition to constitute a threat."

The Trooper nods to the ensign and hands Ayu'lesh back her weapons, Darkstone then directs the trooper to go look for the Imperial agent on board the ship and to send a medic back for Ayu'lesh before turning his attention back to her. He ushers Ayu'lesh to a stack of utility bins that are perfect for makeshift chairs. "We'll get you and your crew taken care of, you should probably sit down and relax, there'll be a medical unit out here soon to take a look at you."

The Ensign himself has a seat next to Ayu'lesh and begins putting in codes for his datapad and begins recording her statement. "I hope you understand that I need you to answer some questions at this time, protocol and everything, you know how investigations go? I couldn't help but overhear you say pirates were the cause of your emergency; forgive me for saying, I don't mean to correct or doubt you, but the Empire has no tolerance for their kind so close to the throneworld, they avoid our worlds like they were a plague. Are you sure it was pirates?"

Darkstone is so sure of the fact it couldn't have been pirates his tone is slightly sounding arrogant, the Imperial position on piracy is one so stanch that pirates travel out of their way to avoid Imperial space. While Darkstone has no knowledge of what truly happened aboard the Banju-12, he doubts it was pirates. He sits and waits for Ayu'lesh's response so his datapad can record it.

[Ywalme Burz]

Ywalme after being helped to cabin by Ayu'lesh tries to lay down but her various injuries and bruises have flared into life demanding attention. She can't relax and finally gives up and gets up to look at her face. She winces as she first gets a look at the extent of her facial injuries.

She goes to her luggage thankful that the pirates must have been in too much of hurry to ransack her things. She rumages around and pulls out the healing lotion that the village healer bestowed on her before she left Dathomir. She winces from pain as she applies the lotion to her face. She is rewarded almost immediately by relief from the pain.

She finally finishes and is just debating whether to change into clean clothes when she hears Ayu'lesh's none to gently knock on the door. She grimaces with pain when her head throbs in response.

And hears Ayu'lesh say.

"Hey! We're here! I will get your men seen to, meet us in back."

But before she can do more than give a groan from the pain in her head in response Ayu'lesh leaves.

That girl needs to learn better manners. She grumbles to herself. She looks around for her weapons and for the first time realizes her whip not on her belt where it belongs. She looks quickly around the room reveals it is not in her room either. Now she is really annoyed.

She stroms out of her room and nearly trips over Gin sitting in the corridor.

Wha..t?! Get out of my way you!

She growls and steps over him to "march" toward the Cargo hold.

She is not in time to see the little drama between Ayu'lesh and the Stormtrooper but comes up as the Ensign Darkstone starts to question Ayu'lesh about the pirates.

She arrogantly interupts him. She tone is snappish of a leader that has reached their limit of a inferior's stupidity.

Then you are an idiot. And Lord Vader and Emperor Ire will certain hear about this when I give my report to them. The girl is right it was Pirates. That might be in the past but this group were both bold enough and arrogant enough to try. I saw them and fought their leader. If one of their men hadn't shot me we wouldn't be having this discussion. They would have been dead. She says looking her down nose at him. She gives him a look that she reserves for people acting like tiny annoying insects she is about to slap.

[Emperor Ire]

"Excuse me, ma'am, but I am not speaking to you right at the moment." Darkstone says to Ywalme, not knowing who she is, as he waits for Ayu'lesh to answer his questions. "If you'd please go sit over there I'll get to you after I speak to her. Thank you for your assistance."

[Takeda]

Ayu'lesh is to exhausted to detect the condescending tone of the Ensign, and happily takes the seat indicated.

"I hope you understand that I need you to answer some questions at this time, protocol and everything, you know how investigations go? I couldn't help but overhear you say pirates were the cause of your emergency; forgive me for saying, I don't mean to correct or doubt you, but the Empire has no tolerance for their kind so close to the throneworld, they avoid our worlds like they were a plague. Are you sure it was pirates?"

"If they were proper card-carrying pirates, I am not positive. I am sorry, I am still a bit shaken up on the details, but it would be in the data logs, I will gladly pull it for you in a minute.

But in short we were about two hours out from here, transporting the pair of Jedi that one of your bigwigs had arrested. There had been a couple of incidents with some of the troopers acting weird, and even I had to lay one of them out so they didn't attack the witch... Oh look, here she comes now..."

The rest of what Ayu'lesh had to say was cut off by the Nightsister's dressing down of the poor Ensign. Ayu'lesh has to wonder if she came off as that big a Witch after recovering from a "Kuati Pants-dropper". Oh wait, she had staked the one guy to a load lifter through his thigh with a pry-bar... so maybe so.

[Ywalme Burz]

That was it. Ywalme was angry already but being brushed aside by an inferior little bureaucratic Ensign made her boil over into rage.

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN THAT TONE! I'M NIGHTSISTER YWALE BURZ OF DATHOMIR AND SPECIAL ENVOY OF THE GOVERNOR !

NOT ONE OF YOUR BARROOM FLOOZIES!

I WILL NOT WAIT OVER THERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE YOU LITTLE TWIT!

Her eyes are now glowing red as she taps in the Darkside of the Force. She lifts her hand and squeezes as she applies a Force choke to the Ensign.

Now that I have your attention. Her tone is stone cold but her eyes are still glowing red.

[Emperor Ire]

"GHAAAAAAAACK!" Ensign Darkstone chokes out as he is lifted to his feet by Ywalme's Force choke, the Ensign had heard of the power of the Force but had never experienced it before personally. Darkstone cluches at his throat, almost as if he is trying to pry a pair of hands off it, as he tries to gain air. Somehow, he manages to choke out a few words "Un--GHAACK-- hand me... you are ass--GWACKK--aulting an Imper--HWWAQQ--ial officer conducting --GHAACK-- an official investigation."

That is when the stormtrooper who Darkstone had originally sent to find the 'Imperial Agent' aboard the Banju-12 reappears and sees the ensign being choked by the Dathomirian witch. The stormtrooper immediately alerts more troopers and rushes over to the Ensign's aid with his weapon raised. "You there, unhand the Ensign or you will be met with deadly force!"

[Ywalme Burz]

She doesn't want to kill the Ensign but she doesn't like being ordered around either.

I will release him because I have made my point. I will not be spoken to in this fashion and His highness Emperor Ire will hear of this to be sure. If this is how his people treat his allies.

To the Trooper. I'm not you there I'm a special envoy and Lord Vader asked me as a special favor to him to accompany these people here. Unless you are now questioning the Grand Vizier's judgement as well?

As she is talking she lets the Ensign drop to the floor releasing the Force choke.
