Near the twin planets Kiffu and Kiffex, Wild Boar holds course as requested by control. Her commander was anxious not to provoke the local security forces unnecessarily.::Wild Boar to Kiffu Control, we can understand your reluctance to allow a ship this size to land on Kiffu.
Would a handful of personnel shuttles be more to your liking?::Mirta was certainly willing to go along with whatever precautions made the local security mooks feel at home. Her task here was a simple one, important only to Kaine on a personal level. Beyond that, shore leave for her crew was a bonus.Graemon Gorgano

So I will ask again, Wild Boar, why are you here?
::Kiffu Control, as we said, we are here to visit Kiffu. If necessary, we can visit the surface one at a time, if that will assuage any worries you have about our purpose here.::
Mirta wasn't quite sure what threat her ship and crew were meant to pose to the Coalition when they were willing to comply with the locals' requests. If Clan Australis wanted to force the issue, they wouldn't have bothered requesting clearance. And if the Coalition continued to get in the way of Clan Australis, well, sooner or later, Clan Australis was going to react to such unfriendly behaviour. Surely these Coalition types realised they were going to give the Mandalorians an aurodium-plated excuse to cause trouble if they kept interdicting their ships, Mirta thought.Graemon Gorgano |

Captain Nebus breathed a sigh of relief as the response came back from the Coalition controller. She turned to her XO.
Prepare a shuttle for launch, you have the bridge, commander.Then she sent her reply.::Thankyou, Control, we will be launching a shuttle shortly. Stand by. Wild Boar out.:: She keyed off the comm.Hold position here until I return. And she left the bridge, heading aft to the hangar bay. The shuttle was an old Aka'jor-class. Mirta boarded along with a single companion from the ship's company. There were personal weapons, stowed in the shuttle, but neither of the two were armed.The shuttle dropped away from Wild Boar and made course for the planet of Kiffu. Mirta commed the controller once again, ensuring the shuttle's IFF was broadcasting correctly.::Shuttle Hyllyard requesting landing instructions.::Now, she would wait to see where the locals sent the shuttle for inspection, and then see if they were allowed to disembark onto Kiffu.Graemon Gorgano

Shuttle Hyllyard, this is Kiffu Security. You have been granted permission to land at Base 44C27, northeast of the Dark Citadel. You will be welcomed by Colonel Taggert and his regiment for inspection. Afterward, passes will be issued for your visitation.
Transportation will be provided between the base and the designated cantina. Expenses will be covered by the local government on behalf of Shigar Vos, Sheyf of Kiffu and Commander of the Kiffu Guardians, as a welcoming gesture to former and returning friends.
::Thankyou, Control, we are inbound with two..::Scans of the shuttle would show just the two passengers, the Captain and her escort. Mirta brought the craft down into Kiffu's atmosphere and easily to the designated landing zone.
The notification that the locals had extended a welcome was very positive news indeed. There were still many Kiffar within the House of Australis, and the bond between the Kiffar people and their home was strong. It was important to Kaine that he show continued respect to their people and their traditions, even if he could not yet make a personal visit.
Upon arrival, Mirta and her companion exited via the boarding ramp, moving to one side of the ramp to allow the locals to board and inspect the shuttle.
The shuttle was provisioned, with blasters stowed in the racks, medical equipment, and food stores. There was no contraband or other objectionable kit aboard. Neither Mirta, in her captain's uniform, or her companion, helmeted, in Australis black and green beskar'gam, carried any weapons.Graemon Gorgano |

The 7th Fleet emerged from hyperspace nearing the fairest reaches of the planet’s orbit. It was here that their path would begin, starting with Kiffu and it’s home system before spreading out to the nearby systems before once again moving on to its next location.

Wild Boar noted the arrival of a Coalition fleet in the Azurbani system. The vessel remained where she had been, halted while their Captain visited the planet below. They did, however, continue to monitor the situation and send reports back to Clan command.

A pair of IRI patrol cruisers dropped from hyperspace in the Azurbani system, making an anti-piracy sweep past the twin worlds of Kiffu and Kiffex. A recent military operation on Kiffex had been conducted successfully, and part of the current patrol included a full scan of the prison complex and surrounding area, to be sure all rebel activity had been stamped out.
Though it was in its infancy, the Inner Rim Imperium had gotten to work quickly.

Messages and representatives had been burning up the spacelanes between the major and minor worlds of the Inner Rim, from Adari to Zeltros and most places in between. The formation of an interstellar government, even one that had grown as quickly as the IRI; took time, as the worlds of the new alliance began to work together, and to bring down barries to communication and trade.
For the interim Chief of State of the Inner Rim Imperium, she was dealing with more paperwork than she'd had to in any of her previous roles. The workload was unduly heavy as the bureaucracy and support systems came into place, slowly reducing the number of arbitrary decisions.
Economic predictions showed continued growth for all worlds, due to the IRI's control of the major producers of both Bacta and Kolto, as well as access to the primary resources any world required. Security needs were met by the loans of vessels or the outsourcing of patrol routes while the IRI Navy was officially formed up. Kiffu's contributions to the IRI were proportionate, and local authorities were welcoming the influx of trade, and the increased security.

Above the planet of Kiffu, a IRI patrol force dropped from hyperspace. An old MC-75 cruiser with several ultra modern Myrkr-class escorts. The craft were all bearing Imperium IFFs, as they filled out the IRI navy's ranks until the new fleet ships came online. Anti Piracy patrols were the major operational task of the Imperium, which meant many small and highly mobile flotillas. The Imperium had to cover a lot of space with not very much, though the fledgling navy worked hard.
The command ship was named the Conciliator, and though aged, it was a solid and capable warship, and was accompanied by well armed and equipped escorts. The fightercraft too, were all modern designs, fighters, interceptors, and bombers from the Imperium's Mandalorian contingent. The IRI was gradually phasing out the mercenaries and Mandalorians with their own forces as they were drawn up and equipped. In time, their forces would be made up entirely of IRI vessels with IRI crews, but for now, they remained rather eclectic.
Kiffu control was contacted, and recent activity reports pored over, and crosschecked with the IRI's headquarters on Hapes. Reams of data flew back and forth across the HoloNET, which allowed the IRI to keep track of its area of responsibility. Kiffu was doing well, and like most of the member worlds, seemed content and pleased with the recent treaty. As an official member world, the spice exports of the Azurbani system would find ready access to markets.
There had been little to no pirate activity at Kiffu, unlike some of the other Inner Rim worlds, due largely to the presence of the Kiffar Guardians, who protected their world even when not part of a larger interstellar government. Still, the IRI's presence was welcomed, allowing the Guardians to make their own contacts and friendships with the people of the other Inner Rim worlds.
Conciliator and her escorts made a patrol route around Kiffu and Kiffex, ranging out around the twin worlds, conducting routine scans to ensure no pirate or smuggler havens had escaped notice. They also ensured any watching eyes saw that Kiffu and other worlds under the IRI umbrella, though focused on economy and politics, were not unprotected and undefended.

As the IRI's Conciliator moved through the system on its patrol, a full squadron of bulky craft launched from her hangars, and immediately cloaked. The Cabur-class Bombers of Rancor Squadron were Clan Australis's most elite and most secret squadron. They were tasked with eliminating the greatest threats, and they were equipped to do the job well. Each of the three flights were assigned to targets in orbit and on the ground, and each pilot was able to carry out their mission without the need for using comms which might be detected.
Not being detected was the modus operandi of Rancor Squadron, whose pilots prided themselves on being invisible. Four bombers headed into Kiffex's atmosphere, slowing so as not to give themselves away on sensors via turbulence or heat bloom. Eight bombers divided themselves among the orbiting capital ships, stations, and infrastructure. The criminals saw nothing on sensors, having only seen the IRI capital ship pass harmlessly on the far side of their planet.
When it was time, all twelve craft struck simultaneously, releasing heavy explosives without propellant charges. They used the shadow bomb technique, with bombs ejected just clear of their launch craft, before each pilot either used their own momentum to target, or nudged the projectiles in the Force to guide them in. No bright propellant trail to alert enemies or give away positions. The first note anyone ever had of Rancor Squadron was when things began to blow up, and blow up they did.
The ground facilities were scorched ruins as pressure waves shattered the structures above ground, collapsed tunnels and caverns, and set the air itself on fire. There were no survivors. In space, capital ships brewed up under multiple strikes, with shields overloading where they'd been active, and hull breaches venting atmosphere into space. Flames burst from fuel storage facilities, and huge explosions blossomed against the station, tearing great open rents into the hull. In moments, the station and the other structures in orbit had been blown to wreckage. All the ships, fighters, and enemies had been taken out in one precise devastating strike with no warning.
A flawless mission. Undetected. |
