(This RP takes place during "Lavality's Assault" and depicts the war from Lumier's point of view)

A sudden drop could be felt as the dropship entered Korribon's atmosphere, not to long ago Lumier had been staring out the window and watched as several of there frigates and a few corvette's had begun to exchange fire with the enemy fleet.

Her ship dove under some clouds, narrowly avoiding an anti-air missile that had been launched by enemy ground forces. "This is ground control to drop ship vector twelve, drop zone is hot!" came the cry of a marine who was already on the ground.

Lumier moved over to the communication's console of the mobile command center that was in the belly of the dropship. "This is Mobile Com 1 to droppod launcher, what's your status?"

Flanking the sides of the dropship where two dropship class shuttle craft, under the craft you could see twelve circles of some type, it looked as if they could open it.

~This is Drop Pod Launcher Alpha, we are ready.~

~Beta here, marine's are itching for some action~

Lumier smiled and gave the order to drop. Suddenly the space underneith the two dropships filled with twenty four drop pods that the drop launcher had released, once done the dropship's lifted upward and set a course for the marine frigate above the planet.

The admiral watched as her marine's descended toward the planet below.

Inside one of those pods was Lance Corporal Baxten, a hard marine who was getting tired of being restrained on a marine frigate. He could feel his pod plummeting toward the ground below, suddenly his stomach hit rock bottom as the drop pods rocket's ignited to slow the pod down. Then a parachute opened up at the top just briefly to slow it down further.

The pod slammed into the ground, but the padding inside kept the marine safe from the sudden deceleration, the pod's door blew off and he grabbed his assault rifle and ran to cover. Enemy marine's litered the drop zone, soon enough his own marine's where down on the ground, the sudden inseration caught the enemy completely off guard and allowed him and his company to clean up the drop zone.

Five minute's after the battle started it was already over. "This is Alpha leader to Dropship twelve, your clear to bring the commander in." he said and put the comm. unit back up.

Inside the dropship the captain informed Lumier that they would be skinning the ground and then dropping her mobile command center. She nodded and looked at the driver who strapped in, she did the same and looked at the drivers window. A few minute's later she felt the large mobile command center suddenly move as it was pulled out of the drop ship's belly and landed on the ground, the metal plate it was on slide only a few feet before coming to a stop.

The driver put the vehicle in drive and sped off the metal plate, he spun the tire's around a bit before coming to a stop. "Apha Company, haul your ass and protect that command center." The Lance Corporal shouted as he and his squad came up to the side of the mobile command base.

Lumier smiled and looked at the radar loop. "We need to find a place to set up shop... how about here." she placed her finger on what appeared to be a platue located not to far from the drop zone. The driver, who was a captain, nodded and they began to move slowly to the platue.

She thought about the operation. "Let's hurry, in thirty minute's they'll be bringing in the heavy stuff and they can't do that until we get our ground coordinators set up." she said and the driver nodded as the mobile base moved across the ground.

The battle had been going on for the better part of thirty minutes. She had been informed that the admiral's shuttle had been launched but was soon lost on sensors after it entered the atmosphere, her comm to it's escorts stated that it had been hit by a bolt of lightning on the way down.

There onboard sensors where a mess though so she had no way of telling, she didn't even know if the shuttle had actually landed in one peice, or if Lavality had possibly brought it down in peices. One thing she did know was that her own battle was going baddly.

The weather had opened up again and it was raining very hard, so hard in fact that the heavy lifters couldn't risk bringing in any armor or heavy support. The only support had been managed to make it down before the down pour was a few artillery units and some medical vehicles.

Worse yet, the storm made it impossible to call in air support. Basically all she had was infantry on the ground with no support to back them up, of course the storm was also playing hell with the enemy as well.

There forward observers reported the enemy was being forced to keep there armor inside the base, if couldn't go out thanks to the muddy terrain. Even though most where hover based, the was and constant lightning strikes would most likely turn one of those tanks into a smoldering wreak.

"Ma'am, we've breached the first defense line, moving on the second." One of the commanders onboard the mobile command vehicle had been monitoring the comm. channels. "Ok good, keep me informed." Lumier said as she watched the sensor screen, or rather, what little information it was actually providing.

She was about to get up when the shook violantly, she fell back into her chair. "What was that?" she yelled as she looked out the window and found the answer to her question.

Above Korribon

"What the hell are they doing?!" Called acting fleet commander Sahvion. "Are they nuts!"

Outside the enemy fleet's two main capital ships, two star destroyers, turned around and started firing on the planet. There shots raining down on the general area around the base itself.

"Take them out!" He yelled

Out of system two carrier's appeared from hyperspace and deployed there cargo, two corvettes.

The corvettes lingured there for several minutes before they turned there main cannons on one of the star destroyers.

A second passed before two red lines streaked across the blackness of space and right into the first star destroyer, it's front section diped toward the planet before a chain reaction occured inside the massive ship, causing it to explode.

"One down!" Yelled Sahvion as his frigate dodged heavy turbo laser fire that was directed at his ship. A few minutes passed before two more red streaks found there marks on the second destroyer that leasted hard to starboard. Another two rounds hit two minutes later, causing the destroyer to burst into flames, and explode a few second later.

The carriers and there cargo soon jumped out of system - there mission accomplished. For now.

On the planet

As suddenly as it began, it stopped. Lumier let out a sigh of relief as the planetary bombardment stopped. "Was that our ships?"

"Don't know." Said another officer on board as he got back into his chair. "I don't think so, since our ships don't have the weapons to assault a planet from orbit."

"We have the Korloens..." Said a staff sargeant who was glaring at the sensor screen. "Yea but those aren't capible of pin point targetting on a planet, and besides, in order to actually HIT something on the surface they'd have to be IN orbit and aiming DOWN on the planet." Lumier said. "Anyway I need a casultie report!" she yelled as she made her way out of the vehicle and to the top observational deck. "I hope we didn't lose anyone..." she said knowing full well it was wishful thinking.

The fighting was intense, already the Serendivus military had lost a large number of marines just in the initial assault. They had managed to break the first and second defense lines, with the third line proving to be very very difficult.

Lumier was out on a hill watching this when word came to her that there fleet in orbit was successful in taking out the enemy's flagship, with it out of the way, it wasn't long before the other ships surrendered.

Her battle however was far from over. They still had to get into the base in order to assist Lavality and her team. "We need to keep pushing!" she said to no one in particuler. "What's the status?" she shoutted to the sergeant behind her.

"Bombers are moving in, but the storm is playing hell with they're navigation computers." The sergeant said as he ripped the headset off due to the large amount of static. "Not to mention communications." he said and rubbed his ears.

Lumier didn't know what had just happened, only that a good portion of the enemy's army had retreated back to their base. Several of their hover tanks had also turned around and headed back; she used this time to order her troops to assault the base.

Artillery fire rained down from above and killed any enemy's that may have been caught. Others where struck down by the soldiers of the Serendivus Military, while others more threw down their arms and surrendered.

After only a short period her troops blasted open the main doors into the mountain base and stormed the main control center. She joined them after the base's automated defense system was taken care of.

"Check the prison!" she shouted to her squad who nodded and ran through a set of doors that lead into a prison. "We found some!" One young soldier yelled as he shot off the lock on a prison door.

While they tended to the prisoners; Lumier made her way to the control center. "Lock down the base and arm the base's anti-air weaponry. I don't want anyone escaping!" she ordered.
