Krokh somewhat skillfully, and surprisingly, piloted The Tinnie up and out of Kiffu's atmosphere and into orbit, at which point the ship engaged it's automatic docking procedure, giving Krokh a chance to leave the cockpit and go grab a can of Krokh's Best, his own personal beer brand, from the fridge, before returning to the observation deck just in time to see his Lucrehulk-class battleship, titled the HMAS Australia, come into view as the smaller Star Yacht continued upon it's docking approach. Krokh then turned to Krae, the Devaronian having joined him on the observation deck where a number of different alcoholic drinks were set out on a table to choose from. He then motioned towards the HMAS Australia
=Krokh DuhnDe=
What do ya think mate? I present to you the HMAS Australia, a Lucrehulk-class battleship filled to the brim with an old CIS cache of droids, she is ready to pack a whallop on any drongo who crosses our path...

“Gotcha self a small army here… Not a bad selection either.” Krae commented, picking up a bottle with a big white bear on the label. He poured himself a glass and took a sip.
“What sort of business would you have to be in to need all this setup?” he prodded. He was impressed at the wealth and/or power that Krokh had accumulated, having lived that lavish lifestyle himself over a decade ago. These days though, Krae was staying off the radar of certain individuals that he had crossed to maintain his former status; the ones who were still alive, powerful, and disgruntled anyway.

Krokh grinned a little, somewhat appreciative of the brief praise Krae gave him regarding the small army he had managed to acquire. Unlike most people who had had lives of crime or were major star system warlords, Krokh really had no such specific lifestyle. He had won the Lucrehulk in a card game, and traded in his old Liberator for a fair wad of cash, before stumbling upon the CIS cache that the Lucrehulk had once served
=Krokh DuhnDe=
At the moment? I'm currently unemployed. It's mostly all just waiting for a purpose. I could take over a star system with the amount of firepower that is sitting before us, but the motivation has never really been there. Just a dream of a place where you could set your hat down, pick up a glass of ice cold beer, and not have a worry in the world...

“There’s always some shmuck looking to stomp all over those dreams though. Just look at today’s events. One minute; we’re having a quiet brew. The next; we’re fleeing the planet, leaving a trail of bodies in our wake. Heck, I won’t say it wasn’t kind of fun, but there are only so many systems you can get chased out of before you become the monster they expect you to be.” said Krae. He took another sip of his drink, and stepped closer to the window to look down on the planet they were leaving behind.
“Looks like some of our playmates have come for a farewell send-off. I suspect that’s not a problem.” he said, watching a small cruiser and six fighters advancing on them.

Krokh smirked as Krae recalled the day's events. To be fair, Krokh had long ago become the monster most people expected of him, but he really didn't care. He had a very relaxed and chilled feeling towards it, that seemed rather uncharacteristic of a Sith
=Krokh DuhnDe=
Mate, it's the fact I am that monster, that I know this dream will happen. To be honest, getting chased out of a system with a trail of corpses being left behind is par for the course. The only time I worry is when I don't leave a trail of corpses...
Krokh then took another sip of his beer as he moved closer to the viewport and spotted the pursuing cruiser and starfighters. Krokh turned to a commnd console and issued the order for the HMAS Australia to fire upon the enemy vessels.
The Tinnie was well within the Lucrehulk's safe zone and starting to enter one of the docking bays, when a pair of Quad-Turbolaser cannons and a pair of Assault laser cannons fired at the cruiser, whilst a handful of Point-defense quad laser batteries fired at the starfighters. The sheer firepower of the Lucrehulk made the encrouching veseels pale in comparison, something that was reflected by the minimal firepower needed to wipe out the attackers.
With The Tinnie safely landed aboard the HMAS Australia, the droid crew started angling the Lucrehulk-class Battlship away from the planet, ready to make the jump to hyperspace. Krokh lead Krae off the Star Yacht, down to the hangar bay floor when the message came through on Krokh's datapad thay were ready to make a jump
=Krokh DuhnDe=
So what do you think? where to next? There is a few places ripe for the picking...

“Hehe. Nice fireworks.” Krae chuckled as the fighters exploded, and the cruiser veered away. “Better get moving before they actually get serious.”
He ran over to a holomap that was on display, sliding to a stop just in front of it. He then covered his eyes with one hand, spun around three times, and pointed with the sharp clawed index finger of his other hand. “There…” He removed his hand from his eyes to find that he was pointing directly at Contruum. “Woah, bugger that!” he said, slowly sliding his hand down the acid burned side of his face. “Let’s just go, uh, here. Nubia!... Yeah, Nubia here we come.”

Krokh walked over to the holomap that Krae had stopped at, taking note of where the Devaronian first pointed at, almost ready to outright object, before Krae himself voiced similar thoughts. Krokh then nodded in agreement as Krae suggested Nubia instead, prefering there over Contruum, in fact he would prefer sitting on the frozen plains of Hoth over visiting Contruum
=Krokh DuhnDe=
Nubia sounds good to me. Helmsman, to Nubia.
=Helmsman=
Roger, Roger.
The droid Helmsman then relayed the orders to another droid who input the hyperspace co-ordinates, a few moments later the hyperspace engine spun up and a few moments later, the HMAS Australia disappeared into a flash of blinding white light, leaving behind Kiffu and it's shambled police force that had been humiliated by Krokh and Krae

*Gavin's YT-1930 came out of hyperspace and made its approach towards Kiffu. As he gazed upon the planet, he couldn't help but smile. This was his home, well one of them. His father was a Kiffar, and so it became his inheritance. It was a shame that he had found out about it so long into his life. He was thirty when he returned here at the request of his brother. He had created an academy, one tied to no order. He had also helped reform the Kiffu Guardians with his own spin. But it was so long ago and that academy now lay as ruins a little ways from the main city. It was there the reality of his purposed in this galaxy truly bloomed. But the time between then and now had been filled with so much and his purpose had become blurred from what it was then. Thankfully, his wife helped him remember.
In the distance behind Kiffu sat Kiffex. By the distance, their orbits were far enough away that there were no electrical storms at the moment. At times he couldn't help hut wonder if it was from this planet that he gained his affinity for lightning. It was one of his most preferred styles of attacking, as well as his desire to move swiftly and quickly as lightning. The thought made him smirk for a moment before he focused himself. The Force had called out to him. Some how, it felt familiar as if someone had directed him here instead of the Force itself. It wasn't the first time the Force had called to him in such away. That time, he had been led to Tatooine where he met Tyra. She became his apprentice as well as a daughter to him. In her did he entrust his knowledge and skills. Strange that in the end, he still remained long after she left this plane.
Shaking the old memories from his head, he brought the ship into orbit and pushed down into its atmosphere, heading the path in which he had been called.*

A lone Nebulon-B frigate exits hyperspace in the inner Azurbani system, near the lightning wracked world of Kiffu. The frigate heads into an orbit, while a single black Bes'uliik fighter shoots away from its docking bay and angles in toward the planet, towards the Dark Citadel.
Flying the fighter was General Kaine Australis, former resident of Kiffu. Decades before, he'd restored the order of the Kiffar Guardians, and secured the independence of Kiffex and Kiffu from the forces that had occupied them. Under his leadership the people had prospered, and become self sufficient, and capable of protecting themselves.
Now, he was coming to them for help. He hoped they'd remember him. Otherwise this might be more difficult than he had imagined. Kiffar could be very unpleasant when offended. And the Kiffar Guardians were some of the most capable fighters outside Mandalorian ranks. He hoped to make allies here instead of enemies. Kad knew he had enough of the latter.
Kiffu, here I come. The fighter nosed in on an approach trajectory and entered Kiffu's atmosphere.

A single Bes'uliik fighter streaks up from Kiffu's atmosphere, followed by a small shuttle. Both craft head in toward the Nebulon-B frigate Taris in orbit and dock in the main hangar. Once the craft are aboard, the frigate fires her main engines and leans away from the planet, angling clear of the gravity well.
Aboard the shuttle are five senior members of the order of the Kiffar Guardians, skilled Force users and lightsaber combatants, the best and brightest of their order. These four men and one woman, all Kiffar natives, have sworn their service to General Kaine, at the request of the Sheyf of the Kiffar people. Their service represents the equivalent of a Wookiee life debt, sworn as a return to the General for his services to the Kiffar people in years past. They were serious beings, having spent decades studying the Force, and were the combat equivalent of a full Jedi Master, though their code was a different one.
The frigate made its way clear of the gravity well of Kiffu, and went to lightspeed, heading away from the Azurbani system.

The Nebulon-B Frigate Serroco emerges from hyperspace near Kiffu and heads insystem. Contact is made with traffic control, and pleasantries are exchanged between the Serroco's captain and the Kiffar controller. Serroco glides in towards an orbit above the Dark Citadel, and shuttles begin descending to the planet below.
Many Kiffar served in Clan Australis, and were periodically rotated home in order to spend time training their fellows in the Kiffar security forces and Guardians auxiliary. A few even got to instruct the Guardians themselves, but only the best and brightest had anything to teach the Force-wielders. Among the Kiffar heading home for a swing was Amauri Vos of the Guardians. She'd been with Kaine for several years, serving alongside her fellow Guardians and Kaine's ori'rami'kade, including some very touchy combat operations.
Now she would return, and brief the Sheyf of the Kiffar people on their part to play in the future of the galaxy. The Sheyf was the spiritual and political leader of all the Kiffar people, and it was a great personal honour for Amauri to serve him personally. Her parents would have been supremely proud to see her now. When they'd been taken from her, she had been taken in by the Sheyf himself, and raised in his household. As a Force-sensitive, she was greatly honoured and valued among her people even as a youngster.
Now she tried her damndest to repay the faith of her people by striving for excellence in all things. For a short while, she'd have a chance to visit home before the next job took her away again, all too soon.
Once the shuttle runs were complete, Serroco returned outsystem and jumped to hyperspace, heading for her next destination.

From far above in the blackness of space, Kiffu seemed to be afire. Lightning storms caused by the proximity to the sister planet Kiffex crisscrossed the world.
Three large flashes lit space near the embattled world as the next stop on the Great Clan Australis Defence Delivery was made.
A heavy transport roared in towards Kiffu, making for the only oasis of refuge on the battered planet; the Dark Citadel. Beside it, two brand new Golan IIIs made their way into orbital position. The transport deployed three KDY W-165 planetary turbolasers via parachute into Kiffu's atmosphere.
The three weapons would be installed atop the Dark Citadel to provide defence against invasion from space. Kiffar technicians had previous experience with the things.
Even as the two battlestations settled into their new homes, the heavy transport headed back out again, and went to hyperspace,
leaving Kiffu and its storms behind.

There wasn't much traffic to & from the planet. mixed in with the usual visitors, ship crews & other transients were three particular people. One was an older, obviously blind man that was relying on his cane & his two younger traveling companions. The second was a younger male that looked very similar to the older man, though with much less age wearing on his features. The third was a moderately attractive woman. From the dynamic of the group, many would assume that it was a couple & the husband's father traveling the galaxy for their own amusement. The only weapons the group had were the previously mentioned cane & a light blaster hidden in the waistband of the male. Only the most extremely paranoid would consider them an invasion force. Unfortunately for the less paranoid, that was exactly what they were.

Kiffu control didn't take any special notice of the inbound civilian traffic. It all kept to assigned lanes and velocities, no one was roaming around, and the two Golan IIIs hung there in anticipation of any trouble.
Orbital security was designed to defend against invasion, and there were no space-based receiving facilities. There hadn't been much piracy in the Azurbani system since the arrival of Kaine Australis many years ago, and Kiffu's population was so concentrated in the Citadel, it made sense to have the customs facilities there. As such, no special notice was yet taken of the danger in orbit now creeping towards the surface.

A pair of ShaShore-class Frigates, escorting an MC140 Scythe-class main battle cruiser, Pride of Fondor, exited hyperspace over Thyferra. With negotiations concluded between the Tapani Sector and the planet, the world welcomed the chance to join the forming Corellian Coalition, despite the strong presence of Mandalorians. The ships carried a mixture of Corellian and Fondorian soldiers to augment the garrison while the new government was formalized and prepared for integration. The new government offered the Mandalorian population to join the CC. Otherwise, funds and ships would be allocated to help them return to Mandalorian Space.

Having received reports of a suspicious Mandalorian presence nearby approaching Thyferra, the Coalition Navy had ordered the small flotilla above Kiffu to remain on alert in case they approached the other planets of the Union of Fondor. Rear Admiral Moxla was commanding from the Sirius, a MC-130 cruiser. Under his command were two Nebulon C's. The force was modest, but would hopefully serve as an effective enough deterrents for anyone hoping to slip through to the surface of Kiffu. They continued to patrol the system on alert, ensuring the population knew that the Coalition would defend Kiffu if need be.

A single ship exits hyperspace in the Azurbani system, near the twin planets Kiffu and Kiffex, and makes course for the former. The ship's IFF reads as the Wild Boar out of Myrkr.::Kiffu Control this is Wild Boar requesting landing clearance at the Dark Citadel.::Long ago, Kaine Australis had lived on Kiffu, and this world had also seen the early days of the proto-Clan Australis. It was only right that the Clan check in on the world and its people and see how they were doing.
The ship was running with shields down and weapons offline, simply doing its job as a transport this day. Captain Nebus was in command of the vessel, taking care of the day-to-day running of her ship.

::Kiffu Control this is Wild Boar requesting landing clearance at the Dark Citadel.::
Furthermore, the Kiffar, the natives of this world and her sister, Kiffex, were treated well too. They had a voice within both the political structure of the Union and representation within the Coalition's Senate. A role to play in its future and to see this nation strive forward. There would be those who may certainly be... welcoming to the sight of an Australis ship, but once more, the memory tends to fade with time.
Security had already been told of what occurred at Thyferra where contraband weapons and supplies had been found and reports of troop movements and shady activity coming from the Australis warehouses on the surface. The presence of one of their ships wasn't exactly a welcomed sight. It had been minor ships, like this one, that claimed to be carrying nothing harmful to Thyferra, after all. |

Mirta Nebus copied the comm transmission from Coalition Security. She had orders to comply with the locals and their requests at all times while within their space until ordered otherwise. She knew those orders had come down from Kaine himself, so the reply was prompt and polite.::Coalition Security we are here to visit Kiffu, shore leave for the crew.:: That much was true, the crew would be looking forward to a little shore leave. Mirta didn't know if Kaine's information about the best bars and nightspots was still accurate given the time that had elapsed, but the crew would find out, she hoped. She might even get some leave in herself if time permitted. She herself was to find out if the Sheyf's family were still around, and to offer them Kaine's personal greetings. A somewhat unimportant mission in the grand scheme of things, but one of great personal importance to the Alor, she knew.Wild Boar kept a steady course in towards Kiffu, gliding towards the planet with the twin planet Kiffex a nearby sphere blotting out the stars beyond.Graemon Gorgano
