<h3>Nak Shimor - Five in the Morning</h3>
The shots rang out again, the defense turrents seem to have been firing non-stop since about Eight the previous night. Another dropship must have arrived during the night with another wave of Soilders, or worse yet, the full invasion had arrived early. Another hail of weapons fire, then another, the automated defense turrents had been set up in the first offensive, had it not been for them, the city would have fallen in short order.
Cassandra ran down to the street, she was a medium sized red head with an average build, her clothes were a bit on the tattered side, but that was mostly due to the work that had been employed in throwing together the patchwork defenses the previous night.
The roadway itself had been barricaded many hours before, the line to be held against the things that would seek to destroy them. Taking up a position behind the repeating blaster assigned to her for this time, she took aim and opened fire at the silouhttes that registered hundreds of meters down the length of the city.
She ducked suddenly as the flash overhead blinded her blasters sensors, craning up but never letting go of the hendle of her weapon she peers around for the source of the disturbance. A number of larger vessels were traveling overhead, vessels not native of the planet. It was becoming obvious what was cuasing the flashes of light now. Some of the defenses had been angled up to provide areial coverage, and the ships appeared to be droping some sort of objects into the city, which when hit with the defenses, detonated in a halo of light.
Turning back down the length of the city she took up the silouhtte now approaching down the edge of the road, opening up a barrage of beams into it, which it seemingly shrugged off and continued to creep closer. Firing again, she could tell she was scoring hits against these Soilders of the invaders. The shots just were not having any visible effect from this range. By all rights she should be murdering this intruders with her barrays of laser fire, but they did not even stop moving under fire. These were obviously not the troops that had been sent the other night.
<h3>Nak Shimor - Close Orbit</h3>
Aboard the Destroyer Eternal Fire he stared out the veiwport. It had been a common case among those new to space to experience naseua when looking out a viewport during a close orbit to a world with a high axil tilt, he thought it looked rather beautiful in fact. They didnt know what they were missing.
"Status report ensign"
"Sensors show the forces are succeding in the cuase sir, our main wing is all accounted for sir"
"And Assault Flotilla Charlie?"
"The city will be ours within the next few hours"
He fidgeted a bit, the suit was made of some sort of hard fabric, he wouldnt get used to the new military uniforms of the black Tion hegemony, he just knew it. Maybe his taylor could do something about it, like cotton or something.
"Sir, advanced scout Sin Four is reporting back in a tightbeam transmission from the City."
Well, that was good, if they hadnt then that would indicate any amount of internal defenses might have been in place. That or any enemy with reliable sensor systems.
"And?"
"Minimal defense sir, none of the automated systems we had feared... not reading any planetary shields. They're giving us the clear signal sir"
"Aye, clear Assault Flotilla Charlie to bypass us and enter the city. Contact Sin Four and inform them to distance distance from the city and send it back to Assault Flottilla Delta, they know the plan"
"yes sir, Admiral Servis sir"
He turned back to the viewport, he could feel them, the Charley flotila, passing them by, exiting hyperspace. They would follow soon. Byss deserved to be Imperial, and this gift would be bestowed upon them, in full force.
