Ahina
Blaster 4+9 (D20) vs DC 10 - success

Pirate?
Blaster 1 vs DC 10 - critical failure

Ahina and the Mandalorians advanced forward, the blasters kept singing in her hands as she ran forward to the cover. Her fire hit a pirate in the chest as he was firing. Then, as the man fell, another pirate moved from his cover to fire at her, only to be hit square in the face by one of her blasters - she wasn't even aiming at him.

She hid behind the crate as the pirates reorganized - they did have a home advantage. Then a string of blaster fire hit her crate, moving it a little. She could feel the heat. It took her a moment to realise - they had repeating blasters!
Ahina take a look at pirates, looking in their position for way to flank them off. She find one and call to her fellow mandalorians.
„Soren, your have strongest machine blaster of us all. On my command you will give us cover fire while we will flank their positions and throw grenades at them. When it’s blow up up, we shoot leftovers. Any questions”? She said and if there was none, they began her plan.
 
Standing at the bottom of the ramp, Nami stared up into what should be safety of her ship – now with a sense of growing dread. She pressed her hands to her breast to stop them from shaking, and to check for the hard outline of her holdout blaster, tucked into its hidden holster under her coat. A small thing, underpowered – mostly useful for waving in a street thug’s face to warn him off.

She didn’t know what, or who, she might find on board. Perhaps it was nothing – a malfunction, or perhaps thieves who had already come and gone. Or it could be someone – more than one someone – who meant her harm. The uncertainty was all the more frightening, making her imagination run wild.

But if she walked away, the Paraselene might not even be there when she got back, and she had nobody to turn to for help – nobody who she wouldn’t be putting in ever greater danger than herself. And maybe – just maybe, whoever was on board was someone who needed her help…

Taking a deep breath, she walked slowly up the ramp, the sound of her heels clicking against the metal sounding even louder than the thumping of her own heart.

Slowly, she made her way up the ramp, each of her steps thundering in her ears. Intellectually, she knew that her steps were not that loud. Yet... it was difficult to convince her ears about that.

The lights were on - it was her ship! Her home! She should feel safe here! Not... that!

Her heart hammered, as she slowly made her way deeper - only to freeze as she hear something. A noise coming from inside.

"Ah, welcome back!" She heard a familiar voice and as she made a few last steps, she found herself looking at a familiar face... Thassco was sitting in her chair and drinking her caff. "How was your day - made much of credits?" He asked.

Kateryn gave her husband a reassuring smile and straightened his collar for him. "About calling Alyn? Absolutely." she said with conviction. Even with her empathic senses dulled Kateryn could still feel her husband's anger, and disappointment with their eldest. She'd been beside herself with grief when Daveed had essentially disowned their son, so much so that she was within half-a-heartbeat of leaving her husband to join her son and the rebellion; only their daughter had kept her by Daveed's side. Now the prospect of a reconciliation was worth any price. "With the expansion of the 'rebels'-" she always made a point to refer to them as such in Daveed's presence. He felt calling them the 'New Republic' legitimized them and it made him irate when he heard the term "-we've lost a lot of our markets. We need to think outside the Empire if we're going to survive. " she soothed.

"Besides," she added with a coy grin "empires are built on Commerce, Communication and Control. We bring more commerce to the Empire and they may just kick the rebels out of the core worlds yet. And then guess who gets the thanks for that?"

The man frowned.

"B-but... won't this be considered a treason? To trade with Rebels?" He shook his head.

7+15 vs DC 13 - success

He sighed, resigned. He was almost there, Kateryn realised. He just needed a push, something that would make his actions legal in the eyes of the empire. He knew exactly, that the new markets would save their company... but he was also afraid. Afraid that should the Empire find their dealings, they would lose everything... worse, that they would be branded traitors. And considering what the Empire had done with the last captured rebels...
 
Joachim was rather Taken Back as The Women who suddenly appeared next to him. He Looks at The Card Dealer with a little Smile before turning His Attention to The Girl. Like in this Game He had to Play The right Cards Here.

He nods slightly with a Smile and shrugs. "Oh Well we shall See how this Night will Play Out. You know My Name but im afraid we never Met before...am I that famous of a Doctor?"

The woman's lips quirked upward, but she did not answer. Instead, she played cards. The game seemed to absorb her... and after a couple of moments, when the dealer finished the game, she had a couple of more chips by her side.

"You would be correct, we have not met. And you could say that you are known." She said as she glanced at Joachim. "Through, I would not use the word, famous, doctor." She said with a neutral voice, as her eyes darted back to the table. She waved her hand for the dealer to give her another card. After checking it, she threw another chip on the table.
 
Yara was a young officer she had met before. She was the one who had met her before and greeted her on the planet, but Ina never paid her much attention. Not until now.

"O-ofcourse, governor." The young imperial quickly bowed her head and left.

As she entered the private room, her stormtroopers stopped by the door, flanking it and acting as guards, allowing her to work. The reports of the planet she ruled, Ord Simres, were old. But there were a few things that she could catch up with, to take her mind of the Bid.

As she took stock of the situation, there were requests for a mining permit from a small company. Her planet had a few points of interest, but due to republic negligence, it was still mostly untapped. There was much place to develop the planet to her liking... if she played her cards right~

There was a knock on the door, interrupting her musings.

"A mining permit?" Ina gives their request a quick glance, checking out the company, what they're trying to mine, and the terms they're asking for when it came to profits. And as Ina was reading up on the proposed contract, the knock on her door caught her by surprise. "Who is it?" She calls out, knowing her guards wouldn't dare knock on her door for no reason. She stands up, moving to check on who her guest might be.
 
Alyn smirks, enjoying the atmosphere of the bar, wondering if he's going to gamble or try to pick someone up. Seeing the Zeltron, though, he changes his mind, looking at her. "Hello there, yourself." He flashes her a charming grin.

The woman gave him a slight smile, nodding her head.

"Charmed." She speaks, her voice low, smooth. "What does bring such a man as yourself to a place such as this?" She asked curiously. As she looked around, he followed her eyes. Ture, there were not many people of the same trade as him in this place.
 
Ahina take a look at pirates, looking in their position for way to flank them off. She find one and call to her fellow mandalorians.

The man nodded his head, preparing a sizeable heavy blaster. Two Mandos near hear also nodded their heads.

At the signal, Ahina and two others started making their way to the pirate's position. Soran got up and started firing, bringing the heat on himself.

4+19 Vs DC 15

As the trio run, four pirates stood in their way, hidden behind the covers. Ahina's blaster screamed again, dispatching one at the start of the run and another one, moments later. But the other two were unmolested and engaged her two comrades in melee, leaving her alone... and she did not have grenades for the work.

As she answered, the door opened, and a stormtrooper - one of her own entered.

"Governor." She heard a deep voice. "Something's happening." He said as he pointed outside. As she glanced, she realised that the normally calm imperial building was now more chaotic, with officers and officials running around. There was even a group of stormtroopers running to one of the exits.

Ahina have no time to curse herself for forgetting grenades. She make quick decision to fire at pirates which engaged her comrades in melee, risking friendly fire. They all have mandalorian armor, so she shouldn't kill them in accident.

"What in the world?" Ina gasps, but quickly regains her composure due to her own experience in combat. "Get our men to make a defensive perimeter. And send someone to learn what exactly is going on here." She gives her orders, "Really now." She shakes her head, "Go. We can't just leave whatever this mess is alone." She adds, still thinking like a soldier whose duty is to keep the peace, rather than a politician who'd normally think of her own safety first. "Get started on the perimeter, and look out for any escaping civilians." Ina sends her men to do their job. And once the door closed, she immediately removes her dress, "Who would be foolish enough to attack an imperial planet?" She thinks to herself, moving to her wardrobe, donning her own combat gear.

Coruscant Corusca Sector Core Worlds

The Curich-class shuttle flew towards the planet. For a moment, there was suspense as the imperial shuttle approached the New Republic's space. Quora could see the garrison Navy from her point.

“Request for the codes. Transmiting.” The droid informed in a dull voice. The Hand waited – she paid quite much for those codes and - “Accepted.” The pilot reported.

The shuttle made its way to the surface.

She looked at the familiar landscape. Once the beating heart of the Empire, the symbol of Peace and Order... now in the hands of the New Republic and the restored senate. The senate, with all of it's flaws. The republic was not even well re-established, and the creature already started eating itself.

The shuttle landed in one of the civilian ports. Quora exited, leaving the droids behind as she made her way through familiar alleys.

Soon, she found what she was looking for.

A former COMPNOR office... abandoned and left to root... now, a bar with alcohol and prostitutes. And somewhere in the building, a secret compartment with a case of drugs... drugs Quora so desperately needed.
Coruscant, the heart of the galaxy, but even the brightest pearl had a dark underbelly. Quora's boots tapped through the rain- and neon-slicked alleys, the scents and sights well acquainted to her. It's nearly… nostalgic, she thought, as she walked past a display window and pulled her cloak closer around her. She had walked these streets plenty a time before, hunting some slum lord or cartel boss. A sense of foreboding touched her mind, as she took in her surrounds with a practised eye, always aware, these parts weren't exactly known to be friendly for a woman out alone at night. And with the Empire gone and a fledgling Republic trying to get a grip on things? It was a cocktail that would make low-lifes bold and reckless. She wasn't going to be caught unawares by some mugger.

The old office loomed before her, now a dive bar as it seemed. How the mighty had fallen. She had an urge to teach everyone inside a lesson for desecrating and stealing Imperial property, but what would that have accomplished? She had more pressing matters to attend to, and exacting petty revenge on strangers would not bring Imperial rule back to Coruscant—or Lord Vader back to her. She scanned all the loiterers outside—a few Rodians and the Nautolan prostitute they were trying to haggle her price with—no threat to her at least.

She looked for an alley around the side of the office, trying to map all the entrances and exists. She wasn't going to step into a place without knowing how to get out again.

Nami stood frozen for a moment as she processed what she was seeing, before letting out the breath she’d been holding. Fear gave way to…confusion, uncertainty. Why would Thassco seek her out now?

I don’t belong to him anymore
, she told herself. He has no hold over me. How she wished that second part were true. The bonds of slavery were not so easy to break. The urge to please this man, to be a good little servant, still ran deep.

“Mister Thassco,” she said, after a moment – her tone as polite and professional as she could manage. “This is an unexpected pleasure.” No sarcasm – pure flattery. Making him feel good about himself was what mattered. She took a few steps closer. “As for credits, well. You know I’ve never had your keen mind for business.”
 
The woman gave him a slight smile, nodding her head.

"Charmed." She speaks, her voice low, smooth. "What does bring such a man as yourself to a place such as this?" She asked curiously. As she looked around, he followed her eyes. Ture, there were not many people of the same trade as him in this place.
"Waiting for a woman like you." Alyn smirks. "I have a stressful job - I like to find relaxation wherever I can find it."

Joachim didnt let The Womens Words Bother or distract him, instead He kept playing The Game
 
Ahina have no time to curse herself for forgetting grenades. She make quick decision to fire at pirates which engaged her comrades in melee, risking friendly fire. They all have mandalorian armor, so she shouldn't kill them in accident.

19+4 Vs DC 15 - success

Ahina aimed her blasters, as the two were engaged in combat. It was taking them some time against pirates - veterans would have already dispatched their opponents, but those two were new.

Her blasters traced the pirates, until, at one moment, she pulled both triggers.

The blasters sang, spitting two angry bolts - and the two pirates fell on the ground, dead.

A stormtrooper with a pauldron on his shoulder stepped confidently up to Ina.

"There seems to be chaos going on here, without Moff. I contacted ISD Glory, and they report sizeable rebel fleet that just entered the system." He said. Even with growth of the rebels, the man refused to call New republic anything but rebels. Glory... That was the name of her Venator II SD. The most powerful ship in her forces. "Captain Helix reports that the fleet that arrived, is of enough power to take the system. She suggests evacuation." The stormtrooper commander reported.

Ahina wave for them.
"Come on noobies, we have work to do!" She command and lead them to flank pirates in the central positions.
"Throw your grenades" Ahina order and when grenades explode, she with her two men shoot at survivors.

"What?" Ina was shocked at the information she received, "Damn." She clicks her tongue, if the rebels did have enough power to take the system, she had no way to fight them off. Not when most of her fleet is back in her own system keeping the peace. "Alright, we retreat. Rescue any survivors running towards us, after that, we rendezvous with the Glory." She gives her orders, They attack just when the Moff is gone. She thinks to herself, Coincidence... or is there a traitor within? She ponders as she waits for rescue operations to end before they take off.

(Nice pics!)

Quora observed the building, taking in all the details she needed. COMPNOR offices were made to survive a siege of dissatisfied population, but also to serve as offie of propaganda - thus it was not made into a bunker. It was a symbol of strength of the Empire. The front entrance was an obvious one - but also could be easily fortified - it was guarded by one guard who allowed entrance inside.
7 vs DC 10 - fail

There was the back entrance, but it was also an obvious point of entrance. Then there was the roof hatch, but those things were notoriously jamming.

Quora knew those buildings enough to know that there should be also a technician's hatch somewhere under the building... It just required some... Crawling.
 
The man frowned.

"B-but... won't this be considered a treason? To trade with Rebels?" He shook his head.

Afraid that should the Empire find their dealings, they would lose everything... worse, that they would be branded traitors. And considering what the Empire had done with the last captured rebels...
Kateryn placed a delicate finger over her husband's lips to 'shush' him without say a word. "But we're not really trading with Rebels are we?" she insisted before slowly descending to her knees. The blonde gently pushed her husband's legs apart and nestled herself between them before she moved her hands to his belt buckle and started to unfasten it. "We're repatriating our son and using our enemies assets against them."

Her submissive eyes moved up to lock with her husband's again while she fished his hardening member out of his pants. "Glory to the Empire." she said quietly to him before kissing the tip of manhood and taking the head into her warm mouth.
