Re: Open Orbit
:: Jai'galaar, this is the Eriadu Defence Ship Warspite. I am here not on a mission of agression, but on one ordered by my Lord - the Count Adulph Gnosis Tarkin, so that he may visit his paternal family - Clan Skirata. I have orders from Count Adulph, that should any acts of agression be made towards this ship or on himself, Warspite will not return fire or land troops upon Lehon's surface. Warspite will direct itself to Taris and contact Count Adulph's Uncles, Emperor Raven Tarkin-Ordinii, Grand Moff Malum Tarkin or Lord Valstrol Horica.
Eriadu Estates is under a different regieme, The Lord Cygnus Madrigal Tarkin has been dead for a long time - Count Adulph Tarkin oversees the Estates and is the ward of Emperor Raven. ::

*There were many diplomatic tongues among the Or'dinii who would have been a little more welcoming, but Thornton had never hesitated to speak his mind, and as the longest-serving Admiral in the Or'dinii fleet, it had clearly served him well thus far.* *Putting the comlink aside, the Admiral turned to his Shield Control Officer.*

Re: Open Orbit
:: It is not the wish Admiral Thornton, nor is it in our orders given to us by the son of the sister of Emperor Raven Tarkin to fire upon his ally. Count Adulph loves his Uncle Raven very much, and as you might be aware, Emperor Raven Tarkin was present at the birth of his nephew in the presence of his sister and father. Eriadu Estates is a sub-domain of the Fourth Galactic Empire under the Treaty of Eriadu and Count Adulph Tarkin is a Prince of that Empire. Under the terms of the late Lord Cygnus's will, Count Adulph is under the full care of his Uncle Raven until he reaches the age of majority.
Count Adulph is not aware of.... Emperor Raven's circumstances with Clan Or'dinii, nor does he know who his Skirata kin are. This is a matter purely for Count Adulph, not for the likes of us Admiral nor his Uncle Raven.

All is well on Lehon Captain Jansen. Have met Brynden Skirata who is the Head of Clan Skirata. I do not know how I am related to him. I am enjoying the experience here, it is relaxed and warm - free from politics. I hope to understand the history of Clan Skirata and to know a bit of the origins of myself that Grandfather refused to inform me. Adulph out. ::

*Capatin Jansen let a sigh of relief, at last he had heard from his Lord and that all was well. He knew now that all Warspite had to do was maintain orders that Count Adulph had given him, "Under no circumstances provoke or cause provocation. The law of Cygnus is over! Calm is the law." Captain Jansen could live with that, he had seen too many of his fellow officers killed by Lord Cygnus's purges.*

Re: Open Orbit
[NPC]Captain Jansen:
Things were busy while you were on the surface your Highness. Two Mandalorian ships wanted to know intimate details as to why you were on Lehon. The Australis ship seemed to be fine with the instructions you gave, but... the Ordinii ship your Highness, they were more persistent. The Admiral of that vessel even had the gall to invoke the "Blood brother" aspect between Plu Ordinii and your Uncle Raven; despite failing to realise that Plu Ordinii has no Tarkin blood!
Sire, something has to be said![/NPC]
*Adulph remained quiet for a while as he listened to the information.*
IC: It will Captain. It will, but first I want to go to this planet.*
*Datapad given to Capatain Jansen*
IC: Let it be so Captain and let it be now!*
*Adulph and Captain Jansen waled out of the hangar bay and into the lift that took them to the bridge. Captain Jansen gave the co-ordinates to the bridge officers.*

Re: Open Orbit
Seated in his throne on the bridge, Drathe oversaw all the activity. Normally, the command of the ship would be left to Fleet Admiral Brusk, but due to the unique nature of the mission, Drathe had left Brusk with the main fleet. Turning his gaze from the main viewport, and the planet turning slowly beyond, and surveyed his commanders. Each normally headed one of the ships in Drathe's fleet, and commanded that ships compliment of elite soldiers. As they felt their lord's gaze pass over them, each of the five Shi'ido turned and bowed to their master. Drathe paused a moment, pondering how unusual it was for any group within his fleet to be composed of a single species. Unlike many, Drathe had no prejudices against different species or genders, so to have his upper command compposed entirely of his own species was unusual. Putting aside the thoughts, Drathe addressed his commanders
"We are here for one thing, and one thing only. No matter what is said or done on the planet below, you will remain silent and wil not act without permission."
Drateh stood suddenly and strode out of the bridge, followed by his commanders. Making his way to his private hanger, Drathe boarded the Black Heart, his personal shuttle, while the commanders took up positions in the passenger section. Drathe, as always, took the controls, trusting no other being to fly his ship. He launched from his private hanger while a quartet of Sentinel-class landing craft lifted off from the main hangers and dropped into formation behind the Black Heart. The ships banked in unison and headed towards the planet below

Re: Open Orbit
Mean while, shuttles were being prepped in the hangar to head down to the settlement. Among them, Zik's personal shuttle was being prepped for a long stay. Once on the surface, Zik and Damilia would take their things to a cabin and prepare for their stay. Zik would also need to speak with Brynden about using the forge, but it was a small matter of asking. Once ready, Zik and Damilia boarded the shuttle, and with a small flight of crew accompanying them, headed for the mandalorian settlement.*
