Draven felt the transport he loaded up into shaking a bit, signifying they were departing the main ship and heading for the Lucrehulk. There was a bit of chatter among those within the shuttle as they made their way, though he stayed quiet and to himself as he prepared his mind for whatever was to come. He certainly had no idea what was to be expected so he had to be ready for anything. However, he doubted anything to be as difficult to handle as a Sith was.
A minute or two passed before there was a slight jolting as the transport landed in the hangar bay. The soldiers on board quickly disembarked with Draven casually following behind. He was aiding Ghaz in taking this ship, but he wasn't part of any of the actual teams. So he didn't concern himself with orders, though he stuck close enough to listen in to what the plans were.

Slowly, lights turned on as the more privileged soldiers, with better gear, turned on their helmet lights. The interior of the hangar bay they had landed in was relatively dim. Sparks flew from one side of the immense holding area. This ship had been derelict for quite some time it seemed. Slowly, the transports departed as they headed back for reinforcements. With the second wave on approach, a few more ships were heard joining in.
Lord Ghaz carefully guided his ship into the hangar, landing it a little ways off of where his troops were being landed. As the masked Cathar stood up, his mask meets Metis.
Remember, Metis. We are here with allies and ones I desire to keep. This ship... this prize won't last on its own if we don't have any.
Then, Ghaz disembarked with a squad of his own guard following. Lightsaber in hand, the Dark Side Adept awaited for his commanders and allies to join him. There were orders to give and places to secure. If there was resistance, he wanted to make sure all knew what had to be done. There was a lot of ground to cover in this ship before it was fully secure.

Berrick piloted the Nightingale into the Lucrehulk's massive Hangar Bay close behind Ghaz's own ship, before pulling off to the side and landing. After powering the ship down, he lead the way out of the Gunship dressed in a simple pair of armorweave jeans and t-shirt, carrying an F-11D Blaster Rifle. Trinity, Vixen, and Elektra descended the landing ramp just him, as Berrick headed across the hangar bay to where Lord Ghaz was waiting Looks like we've made it this far... What's next?

Metis sighed and pulled the lightsaber from her bag and hung it on her belt. It was not a weapon she preferred, but had to admit it was handy from time to time. Giving a signature smile to the mask, though a little forced given how the mask typically made her feel.
Don't worry, I'll keep them alive!
She disembarked, noticing familiar faces, or at least combat gear, and some new faces. She drew her blaster, and turned the safety off the Twi'lek waited for her next set of orders.

Landing within the hangar along with some of her forces, Kian Ti left her Ginivex-fighter once they had landed, accompanied by two Magnaguards and four pirates from her escort. Although mostly armed with SE-14r light repeating blasters and E-10 blaster rifles, the droids and the syndicate leader herself were armed with PW-8 plasma sniper rifles, so far waiting upon the orders from Lord Ghaz. While her own frigates and the rest of the fighters would cover up any potential threat from space, the Kaminoan felt confident herself to show the Cartel leader that she wasn't solely letting her underlings do the dirty work.

With all the commanders and allies gathered, Lord Ghaz keys a holomap of the Lucrehulk. There were several flashing sectors.Berrick Dahnos [RETIRED] , you will go and secure the communications center. We will need them in case we need to call in additional reinforcements.That sector lights up as green. He then turns to Kian Ti .You and your men will take additional troops of mine, and engineers, to get the power sources up and running. We need thrusters to keep in orbit, power to see in the hallways, and control over the various networks.That sector lights up green before Ghaz gestures to @dravenheart .Take some squads of soldiers and move to secure weapon caches. When the power comes on, the droids may turn on and I don't want them getting their weapons. Secure those areas and keep them out if any come.Then lastly came Metis Daru .You will secure the various hangar bays with Cabal troops. If anyone needs you, assist them immediately.The map keys off as Ghaz glances at the great command ship, the ball in the center of the eye.I will be taking my elites to secure the bridge. Minimal casualties expected, unless we trip something that causes the ship's security to wake up.

So far understanding the orders of the Cartel leader, Ti nodded, while gesturing the assigned men to follow up. "Alright lads, you heard the boss", she replied from beneath her veil, the tall Kaminioan looking down towards those, who would work under her, "And remember: Don't even dare flick any switch on this ship without my permission. Understood?" Once she had ensured that the engineers and her own pirates would follow her call instead of doing something stupid, they would move along, carefully towards their assigned location in order to search for the power generators on board. Ti also ensured that she would be on frequence with the rest of the leaders, given that her part of the work had to ensure that Ghaz and this Berrick Dahnos reach their destination before she does anything, what could fuel up the main computers of the Controllship. The Kaminoan had never seen the inside of a Lucrehulk nor neither knew its specifics - but she knew tales from the Clone Wars, where those crazy Neimoidians have stored hundredthousands, if not millions of these old B1 Droids aboard such a battleship. One false move could mean the death of all of them - something she clearly wanted to prevent.

Draven moved up as Ghaz closed in, ready to get things underway. One by one, those around him received orders before looking to him. Looking over the designated section, he nodded at the task given to him. Once finished and the layout in his head, he backed up and looked at a group of soldiers near him.
"Alright. You heard the man. Let's get going."
He expected these men didn't take well to the idea of some random guy leading them, but if it was Ghaz's orders, they wouldn't say anything. Pushing to the front, Draven led the men forward. Whereas they kept their weapons ready, Draven simply moved with a casual and loose pace, his hands resting within his pockets. If droids were the only concern they had, then, in his mind, there was little cause for concern. Time would tell though what would transpire once the power came on. And who knew what really lurked within the confines of the darkened hallways.
But the task was to get to the weapons caches before the power came on. As they went, he dispersed some of the men to tend to each that they passed or in different spots.

Metis nodded and signaled for her assigned people to move out.
Okay, looks like this hanger is clear, let's move to the next. And for the love of the Twin Suns of Tatooine, don't touch any of the fighters. I'd rather not fight a pissed off one of those.
And with that they moved on out. The Twi'lek kept a close ear for her communicator to let her know if any of her allies needed help.

Communications center, got it... Barrick brought up his wrist mounted communicator and set the holomap to find the best route to the communications array. He watched as the display started highlighting the direction for them to head in This way ladies... Trinity, Vixen, and Elektra gave a nod and followed after Berrick as he led the way across the hangar bay and deeper into the internal structure of the ship. Their weapons were drawn and Vixen's HUD was actively scanning for any enemy signatures as they headed through the derelict vessel. The sheer size and magnitude of a Lucrehulk was still enough to astound Berrick. What had originally been intended as mass cargo transports, had been converted into massive war ships for the Trade Federation and later the Separatist movement during the Clone Wars. Now, this hulking war ship drifted in space in a deep sleep. Waiting to be awoken by these trespassers. Berrick just hoped that when they woke it all up, that anything onboard would not immediately view them as a threat

As the crews were given their destinations, and progress was made, Scar took a shuttle to the hangar bay belonging to the core ship area. Upon arrival, him and his personal guard of Cabal troopers found a number of transports awaiting them. However, there was nothing... no activity. An examination of them found racks upon racks of battle droids ready for some sort of duty. Zalam believed that this ship was preparing for some sort of combat when the source of its power possibly malfunctioned or the Grand Confederacy vanished, leaving it with no orders and no direction. Making sure the droids wouldn't be turned back on, the Dark Jedi motioned to his men and made their way to the main bridge to gain control of ship.
As the others made their progress, something did get tripped. One of Kian Ti 's crew, unaware of an active security measure, would enter a room, but then leave. Nonetheless, the security had been activated. No alarm went off, but something was activated. Within one of the hangar bays, a transport opened and several droid commandos came out. They looked around for a moment before the clankers headed off to find out what was going on. In another area, close to where Berrick Dahnos [RETIRED] was working, another door opened where more of these commandos had been housed, several activated and went off to investigate. Lastly, a team of them within the hangar bay, where Zalam had been earlier, reactivated and began to trail him and his guard.
Combat was imminent...

As Draven worked with the men under him to secure the weapon caches, he couldn't shake a feeling of uneasiness. Perhaps it was empty and dark halls of the ship. At this point in time, he typically expected trouble everywhere. It was how he survived and was able to fight as he did.
Once the last cache was secured, he ordered the men to remain until further orders came in. He, however, began to walk the halls, checking around the area for anything that seemed out of the ordinary.

Combat was imminent... Berrick continued to lead the way through the ring of the Lucrehulk toward the communications center. His F-11D Blaster Rifle was scanning the corridors ahead. Vixen was right behind him with her EV-22 Searing Enforcer, followed by Elektra with a pair of A-180 blasters, and Trinity bringing up the rear of the group with her Bowcaster. The formation allowed them a full range of sight all around. Something which proved invaluable as they finally closed in on the doors to the Communications Center just as the Droid Commandos which had activated caught up with themWe've got company!Were the only words Trinity managed to shout before placing a Bowcaster round straight through the chest of one of the Commandos. Elektra and Vixen both spun around and started laying down blaster fire in the direction of the remaining 5 Commando Droids. Berrick slung his rife across his back as he got to work slicing the door controls. Given their current position, it was better he put his focus upon getting into the doors while the girls provided covering fire. He just had to hope that his skills were up to task or else this little adventure could put a very abrupt end to all of their lives

Hrerk!
That was the only sound that escaped the rear guard as a group of commando bots got the drop on the group. But it was enough warning for Metis who spun around quickly and saw just what was behind them. Two of her men were dead already, but that couldn't be helped now. Smeg! Blast 'um! She yelled at her crew. The hanger erupted into an exchange of blaster fire. In one hand Metis held her blaster pistol and the other was her lightsaber. It's magenta blade sending bolts away from herself and nearby allies. The droids, sadly, were better programmed then her men were trained. And to make matters worse, she saw some making a run for a control panel situated by a row of dormant Vulture Droid fighters. The Twi'lek raced to try and cut them off, to stop them some how, but a pair broke off to slow her advance. One of her men, though got on the coms.
We've been ambushed! Commando Droids. Lots of 'em. Any back up to our position would be appreciated!

Scar sensed a disturbance within the Force. He turns to see one of his solder's keying his helmet before making a report.
=Jinn Commander= Sir, we have gotten reports of fighting from the groups under Berrick and Metis. Commando Droids.
Scar clicks his teeth slightly with his tongue. Seemed the old ship had some booby traps and they were awakening. Granted, the Commando Droids would be in a minority, but they were highly skilled models. Metis' group would be easier to reinforce since she was in the hangar bay. The masked leader points to the commander.
Call in our reserves from the ships and send them to Metis' position. Once we have blunted them, order more to Berrick's position. Order him to hold and defend where he is. We need to keep casualties low!
=Jinn Commander= Yes, Sir!
Two landing craft, stolen Sentinel-class craft from the Old Empire days, burst into the hangar bay where Metis and her troopers were fighting off the Commandos. Turrets adjusted and began to fire upon the droids from afar. The backs of their bays open as reserves were brought in, a hundred strong.
=Jinn Commander= Blast them! Blast them!
The squad commanders bellowed as the reserves rushed in, taking cover and providing additional firepower. One of the commanders came up alongside the position where Metis was using for cover.
=Jinn Commander= Lord Ghaz ordered us here. Told us to shore up your position, then divert men to help Berrick and his troops.

As Draven walked the halls, something continued to seem off. It wasn't long before he came to a stop near an intersection as faint noises could be heard. Steadying himself against the wall, he listened. What was that? Did he hear fighting? It was too hard to make out for certain, but it wasn't long before he heard footsteps. Loud and metallic, it was a strong sign of a droid. They had brought nothing of the sort with them so it had to be the ones that remained.
He stayed hunkered down against the wall as a group began to pass, chatter being exchanged. He couldn't understand it, but it didn't matter. As far he was concerned, these things were in his way and needed to be eliminated. If Scar had an issue, he guessed that it could just come out of his pay. Removing his sword quietly, he moved in behind the group, his blaster emerging in his free hand.
It was almost too easy. A swing came down with a bolt from the blaster afterward. This little pattern continued for a few pairs, allowing him to take down six in the group before they could turn around and start firing. Already the group had been taken down to a third. But now they were onto him and twelve remained. He jumped back into a flip, firing off a shot before jumping onto the wall and back off, sending his sword into another before forcing himself to retreat.
Slipping around the corner, he fired a few more shots, taking down another two before quickly moving down the hall. His reflexes and skills might have been honed enough to combat a Force-sensitive, but he didn't possess the Force, nor did he have a lightsaber to deflect the blaster bolts flying his way. Still, he had gotten lucky with his placement and timing to take down what he did in such a short time. Now it would be hit and run tactics until the group was taken down. Either that or get back to one of his teams for reinforcements.

Metis was happy to see the reinforcements arrive, and none too soon. They provided enough of a distraction for her to prevent the commando droids from reactivating the Vulture droids. A few of her men repositioned to help her protect the control panel. When the message was relaid to her about her orders from Ghaz about moving to assist one of the freelancers, she gave a nod and called over a small group of no more than a dozen of her own men. On her signal the rest of the small army laid down suppressing fire that allowed her and her small group to break out of the hanger and move toward Berrick's last known position.
It wasn't long before Metis heard the sounds of Berrick and his gang fighting. Lightsaber still active, she lead the charge around the corner and flanking the commando droids. The radiant magenta blade flashed as it bisected a surprised droid, taking some of the heat of the other squad as the droids now had two enemies to focus on.

Berrick kept working at the door controls as Vixen kept herself between Berrick and the Commando Droids, letting her armour absorb the shots that might have brought an end to his life. But Berrick knew her armour could not last forever and so tried to work a bit faster to slice through the controls. The door into the Comms Center opened a few moments later, with Berrick grabbing a hold of Vixen and pulling her through the doorway just as a barrage of laser fire unloaded on their position. Trinity and Elektra kept firing off shots from behind the cover they had taken, with the intervals growing more and more.
The Commando Droids just about had them pinned down when Metis arrived with her group, causing the droids to turn their attention. Allowing Berrick and his group to poke out of their cover and sending a hail of blaster fire down the corridor into the droids. Scoring hits on a couple droids heads, legs, and torsos. After a few more moments, the small group of Commando Droids were turned to a pile of scrap. At which point Berrick moved out of the doorway and back into the corridor Thanks for the assist! Metis, right? Hopefully your boss can get to the droid control center and shut the rest of these things down...

Accessing the holo-terminals, Ghaz watched the fighting unfold here and there across the vessels.
How are the technicians doing in the control room?
Ghaz casually flips to that screen as a Jinn commander reports.
=Jinn Commander= They have already accessed seven of the ten firewalls, my Lord. System is old, but it is tenacious. Seems the Grand Confederacy had something they were good at besides awakening decades old droid caches.
Quietly, the Cathar snorts at that remark. His fingers tapped the console, pulling up information while he waited for more reports. While doing so, his comlink brought in a detail of the fighting. It seemed Commando Droids were repelled from four of the hangar bays under their control. No activity was noticed on the other end of the massive warship, so it was unknown how many were active. Ghaz could only hope, for the sake of the technician's lives, that they got their job done... or else.
Then, something popped up on his screen. Ghaz turned his attention to a holo-terminal recording, showing rectangular containers within an untouched hangar bay. The Cathar keyed quickly on the console, finding that there was oxygen and the air was breathable. Not wanting surprises, he turns to the commander.
Have teams be sent to Hangar Bay Eight and Nine. And get me files on what the inventory could be.
With an affirmative nod, the commander relays the orders.

As things became easy, probably more easy than Kian Ti would have thought, the paranoia of the pirate queen and syndicate leader began to kick in. Eyeing the assigned technicians carefully, while they did their job, nothing bad seemed so far to happen as they kept deactivating security measurements. And yet, the job still went too easy. It was never a good sign, when a job felt like this way. This was normally, when the problems began to kick in. Before she could even think further about it, one of her Magnaguard bodyguards suddenly shot into the darkness of a nearby corridor, a brief Alert! being the only word, what was needed for Ti and her pirates to react as well. Within the sudden flash Ti could see the silhouette of a single B1-Battledroid falling to the floor - wheras more followed afterwards. Damn! They've screwed up somewhere! "Seek cover, ya idiots!", she yelled solely at the technicians, as blaster fire began to spread, the two Magnaguards taking already care of the invading clanker force. Most of the technicians reacted in time, while the pirates were already on the job of keeping the now approaching flood of Battle droids at bay behind the walls of the three corridors from which they streamed in. If it wasn't for the unique programming, Ti gave her own Magnaguards in order to ensure that they won't go rogue at the first chance some Separatist engineer saw them, they would be all dead by now, as despite the Kaminoan's support it was mainly her bodyguards who took care of the most approaching battle droids. Minutes passed on and with each second, Ti was worried that their section wasn't the only one, where battle droids had woken up. Yet, the technicians were able to at least lock two of the doors in the meantime, making it easier for the pirates to clean the remaining wave quickly, before they got overwhelmed."We need to occupy the next consoles, if we don't want to be buried here!", Ti commanded quickly, "How many are there remaining?" "Two or three with some good luck", one of the engineers replied dry, "Those Neimoidians were sadly paranoid when it came to this." "I don't care about what these fools thought, let's just get the job done before Ghaz puts a bounty on our asses. Let's move and get the job done!" With no further words, the rest of the group followed, the two Magnaguards scouting the area beforehead. Hopefully the other teams could hold out longer, while their team would have to hurry in order to deactivate this whole mess aboard the Lucrehulk.
