Absolution Company formed up on Damocles as the Protectors started scouting ahead and forming up their battle groups. He motioned for Vera to follow as he headed to the front of the assault group where Comyn was. The Sienar Industries building was sitting just in the distance. He drew the two-handed khopesh from his back then, turning his head to Vera On your command ner'vod...

Vera could feel her heart pounding as she stepped in line with the other Mandolorians that had gathered. It was time she earned her place among the Protectors on her own merit and not on the built up good will of her father. She gave a nod to Damocles before giving the signal to begin the attack.
Mando'ad! To Glory!
With that, Vera jetted off toward the city.

Damocles and several members of Absolution Company activated their jet packs, Keeping pace with Vera while the main bulk of the Force began to sprint toward the city. Closing the distance they had to cover to get to the Sienar Industries building. Damocles unsheathed his pair of one-handed khopesh blades then, as their forces closed in upon the outer security of the building. Blaster bolts letting loose then, as Damocles came down out of the air and cut down the guard closest

Vera descended upon an unsuspecting guard. He turned just as she leveled her slug thrower at his head. Then she saw his eyes, a fear so primal and deep that she paused. The young woman had killed many animals before, but had never taken another sapient being's life. Before she could react the fear in the mans face turned to hate and he pulled his trigger. The blast hit the mando in the chest. Vera cried in pain. The blaster hadn't gone through the armor, but the impact sure stung. Vera's pity and hesitation turned to a burning anger of her own. Firing her shotgun into the mans unarmored leg and then another quick shot into his side, he dropped. Gritting her teeth under her helmet she cursed that guard under her breath before moving on to find some cover and asses the damage to her armor.

Siofra Rook of House Bralor, leading a fireteam of Mando'ade advancing on their objective in a wedge formation, sees Vera take a blaster bolt to the chest as she and her team are providing covering fire for another clan Bralor fireteam. Shouldering her A280 blaster rifle, Siofra, a twenty two year old of Socorran ancestry wearing dark violet hued beskar'gam, drops to a knee behind cover of a low duracrete wall to return fire on a cluster of enemy troops that are rushing towards her team's position, dropping three with a sweeping arc of continuous fire. A member of Siofra's team, armed with a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, makes short work of the remaining enemy guards, and Siofra uses hand signals to have her team, now under cover from the fireteam they had been covering, move for their next covering position.
Stopping beside Vera, Siofra lets her rifle drop to hang from its sling in an off-side drop position, drawing her T-6 heavy blaster pistol to cover herself and Vera as she rests a hand on her fellow Mandalorian's shoulder and asks in Mando'a, Tion'kadala? Tion'linibar baar'ur? *
Comyn, listening to the reports coming in from his squadron leaders, issues orders for those who have reached positions nearest to the main Sienar building where the servers and other data they have come to procure are located to begin securing the building's perimeter so that no enemy reinforcements will be easily able to attempt reacquiring control of the position, and then begins leading his squad and those that will be accompanying them as they breach the building and begin seeking and destroying the enemy forces inside.* Are you wounded? Do you need a medic?

As Siofra stepped off to check on her, Vera gave a few firm taps on the scorched section of armor. Vera could feel her face burning from embarrassment. She had hesitated in the face of the enemy.
I'm fine. Got the wind knocked out of me. Only thing wounded is my pride.
After a moment or two of deep breaths Vera got back into a ready stance. She gave a nod to her comrade, before once more taking to the sky. This time, there was no hesitation. Just the same cold precision as when she hunted vermin infesting her family farm.

Despite the heat of battle, Damocles kept Vera well on his radar. His HUD system tagging her and keeping him aware of where she was at all times as he cut through the guards outside. His blades making short work of the armour the guards wore, while his own absorbed the brunt of the impacts from their weapons. He very briefly paused when his HUD alerted him to Vera's injury, but before he had time to react, one of the Bralor's was checking in on her. And then, Vera was jumping back into the action. He opens a line to his allies then Perimeter seems secured, meet you all in the lobby! His jet pack activated as he flew through the air toward the front entrance of the main building, rushing it as fast as possible with Absolution Company to get in before any of the buildings defensive systems could be properly brought online to impede their progress. Several rocket blasts impacted the glass across the front of the main lobby. Creating entrances for Damocles and Absolution Company to pour into the lobby

Orders came from the fleet above: the enemy had been defeated and the raiders were ordered to gather what materials they could gain. Gunships and starfighters, with shuttles, came down with reinforcements and the space necessary to gather the needed supplies. The Mandalorian Protectors got to work once the security force of the Sienar-Santhe's Headquarters was quelled and suppressed thoroughly. Crates were brought out and all kinds of materials that would be of worth to the Mandalorian Assembly. Trains of shuttles went up and down with the material, enriching the raiders with every shuttle that lifted off the ground and headed up to the orbiting fleet. Galaar examined the numbers from his flagship, knowing that the Mandalorian industry would be pleased with the boon taken from Lianna.

Vera focused less on the grabbing of raw materials and instead thought a little bigger. Finding a technicians hiding in a broom closet. After a little coaxing and brandishing of a bloody bayonet, the tech was 'happy' to help the young lady access some of the Sienar-Santhe data banks. With any luck downloading this info would be of some use to the Mandalorians and particularly Clan Fett.

The Sienar defence forces fell into disarray as the Mandalorian forces bore down upon them. Their defeat was swift and decisive, allowing the bulk of the raiding party to get to work loading up the supply ships that Galaar sent down. Damocles and his men kept to chasing down anyone that was still willing to make a stand and try fight back. Waiting until Vera or Comyn gave him confirmation that they were pulling back. Several members of Absolution Company got to work copying data and gathering a few resources to use for themselves, though not moving any crates of significant bulk

After a while, Vera was satisfied with her acquisition of Sienar schismatics and technical readouts of their Gravity Well generators. With a parting gift of a peck on the cheek and a blaster butt to the back of the head, Vera left the now unconscious but helpful tech behind and returned to the other Protectors, eager to show off her spoils.

As the battle over Lianna was won, Galaar descended to the surface with a strong guard of Mandalorian Protectors. He had come to oversee the spoils of their raid being loaded up in a speedy fashion. The Mandalorian leader was soon seen directing efforts for getting the materials off the world, ensuring their wounded are retrieved and that the dead's beskar and tags were acquired to be passed onto the next of kin.

Vera was excited as she approached the Mandalorian landing zone. While others were returning from the raid laden with raw materials or credits, she came back with something hopefully just as good. She stepped before Galaar and held out a data chip, the one she had copied the Sienar schematics onto. The young woman looked up at her mentor from her now battle scared armor and smiled under her helmet.
I know it's not flashy like a crate full of durasteel, but hopefully it'll be even more helpful!

Galaar turned his attention away from the departure operations when Vera came up. Curiously, the Mandalorian examines the datachip before plugging it into a spare datapad on hand. Quickly, he reviews what Vera had gained, schematics of the Sienar's interdiction technology and the cruisers that utilized this tech, among other things. He pockets the datachip and, with his fist clutched, lightly taps the top of Vera's T-visor.
You did good, young Vera. The Assembly could use this tech for something of great use. I will ensure its put in the hands of our shipwrights.
Galaar turns back to the operation at hand.
How many we lose, Vera? Were the losses acceptable?

The Retribution came sailing through the air and landed upon the ground nearer to the Sienar building as Absolution Company carted out the spoils they had gathered. Damocles scanned the crowd as he exited the building. His gaze quickly settling upon Galaar and Vera Fett as the pair stood conversing. Taking a moment to psych himself up, he made his way through the crowd of Protectors as they moved to and fro, loading up as much as they could. They were not here as conqueror's, merely raiders. And soon enough, reinforcements would show up and they would do well not to be here when that happened. He came to a stop a couple feet off to the side of Galaar and Vera then, waiting for them to finish conversing before joining in

As Galaar acknowledged her good find, Vera blushed under her visor. But soon the conversation turned toward their losses.
The fighting was over quickly, we overwhelmed the defense forces. 4 dead, maybe a couple dozen wounded to verying degrees. They've been loaded already, if the com reports are accurate.
She glanced to her side and spotted Damocles.
Oh... uh, should I leave you two to talk?

Acceptable losses. Lianna had a good defending fleet, but the ground forces sounded like nothing more than security detail. However, who knew if or where LIanna's professional troops were. A counterattack could be brewing and it was best they leave soon. Galaar gives the order for the Protectors to wrap up their operations and prepare to withdraw for Mandalorian Space. He turns to see Damocles before shaking his head at Vera.
No need to, Vera. You may stay if you wish.
He turns to Damocles.
It is good to see you with us again. But if you have something to say, this isn't the best time. How about Concord Dawn?

With the break in the conversation given, Damocles moved in closer. Galaar was correct, now was not the time for long, drawn out conversations. So nothing would be discussed that Vera could not be present for. He gave a nod in response to Galaar's greeting and suggestion Concord Dawn it is then ner'vod... It was a pleasure meeting you Vera... He gave the younger Fett a nod of his head, before making his way over to The Retribution, as the last of Absolution company loaded up the supplies they had raided. Damocles headed straight for the cockpit and wasted no time getting the Kom'rk-class fighter/transport up off the ground and into the air

Vera gave a casual salute to the former Mand'alor before giving a more official one to Galaar. She'd then head off to help loading the last of the cargo aboard the ships and would soon be back in her fighter, joining up with the fleet in orbit.

One of the first stops, for the arriving troops, was the spaceport of Sky City. A spaceport was always the first target, besides the capital, for the arrival of troops to any planet. It was known to the Jedi Lords that this had been the location for a recent Mandalorian raid that devastated Sienar's industry and the Spaceport itself. So, the Jedi Lord troops did their best to not seem like raiders themselves. Battalions of them began to disembark with commanders heading for the local security office to discuss how to best ensure a smooth integration. Lianna wasn't a place starving for resources, compared to Ossus and Yavin IV, but still, resources were brought to show the intentions of the arriving Jedi forces wanted peace and prosperity.
