LAST TIME ON JEDI APPRENTICE QUEST

We met a very pleasant old man and his Wookiee companion. Turns out they're with the giant Republic vessel floating over our heads.

A bit of sweet talk later and Zev and Renari find themselves onboard the ship, but it's not fun and games for long before we're dragged into a battle!
>>
>>44650939

"Did you just make me a Jedi Commander?" You ask Tikran, your head tilting to the side in amazement that seems seems to honestly trust you that much.

"Mhm. You can handle it Zev, I believe in you, and you wouldn't want to let me down, would you?" The Master replies in her sweet tone.

You don't want to of course, Tikran has been putting her faith in you since day when you came to the Academy. Teaching you as much as she could, putting you on the right path towards becoming a better Jedi. The last thing you want to do is let her down, least of all when it's something so important like this.

"Thank you, Master, I won't disappoint you, I promise." Giving her a small but respectful bow.

As you finish up your conversation regarding what the plan might be for the battle, the crew announces that they're dropping from hyper space, and the captain once more repeats through the comm that all hands should be at their battles stations.

Moving forward towards the view port, you're greeted with the sight of an incredible number of Imperial ships in front of you, with Republic vessels warping into existence seemingly every other second, already the two forces starting to engage each other.

The Battle of Rabaan has begun.

Already the immediate area in front of you is being lit up with a large variety of colors, turbolasers, ion cannons, every weapon that a ship has is currently being used in this frantic battle, and there really isn't much you can do right now to help.

Still watching from the viewport on the bridge, you're able to see as the squadrons of fighters pour out from the belly of the ship, much the same way with the various other vessels that are across the horizon in front of you. You've had zero experience whatsoever as a pilot, so trying to assist in that way is completely out of the question. Master Tikran and Master Coltuc are going to be leaving the ship very soon as well, and they've left you 'in charge' as the acting Jedi commander for this ship. There's a heavy responsibility on your shoulders right now... and if you can't help directly, you might as well put your brain to work.

Stepping over to the holo-map, you're able to see the battlefield in it's simulated form, hundreds of ships of various sizes across both sides of the conflict starting to engage each other. The classroom tactics course didn't cover starship battles very well yet, you're mostly just having to think and try to figure things out on your own as you look. Still, you've got an idea brewing in your mind... something you might be able to do that could at least calm your own nerves.

Closing your eyes, you try to center and calm yourself, steadying your breathing and opening yourself up to The Force as you concentrate on the battle at hand.

It's a real mess out there, lifes being snuffed out in an instant, the fear, chaos, hatred, so many emotions being broadcast from everyone. You can feel the Republic and Imperial soldiers, all of them, wanting only to make it through this, or to smash their enemy, they're all people.

You...

With how easily you're able to sense all of the fighting taking place, a bit more concentration and you think you can narrow things down enough to find the Sith, and maybe some of the other Jedi that are in the battle as well.

"Zev?" Renari speaks, almost breaking your concentration, until you hear Tikran shush her.

Taking another deep breath, you once more try to focus, letting The Force guide you towards the people that you're searching for, and one by one, the... glow of The Force is leading you.

A sudden flash and you find yourself no longer standing in front of the holo-map, instead you're... floating behind a large man in black armor, two smaller humanoids beside him also encased in armor, all three of them carrying lightsabers. You're able to stay here for several moments, looking at instruments and being able to pinpoint where the ship is.

"The strongest one... he's here." You mutter, extending your hand and pointing at one of the ships on the holo-map. "He's strong... really strong." Your eyes snap open once again, finding yourself back next to Renari and Master Tikran. You've got a bad feeling about this, that man, he was like a whirpool of darkness, swirling around him with the two smaller Sith feeding more of the darkness into him.

"Zev, what did you see?" Tikran asks, stepping forward and placing a hand on your shoulder, a look of concern on her face.

Shaking your head a few times you try to get yourself back to normal before answering "Three Sith, on a ship, I think it was a Master and his apprentices. I think he might be the commander." At your answer, Tikran hums and looks to the holo-map, eyeing the ship that you pointed out. "I believe you've just given the strike team their destination, thank you Zev." She says, giving you a few small pats on the back.

"Are you gonna be able to take him Master? I mean, that guy didn't feel like anything I've ever experienced before. His apprentices... I think they were... somehow making him stronger? It felt like they were empowering him." You explain to Tikran, having a bit of trouble actually concealing your obvious concern for her safety. She's... well, you don't really know what Tikran is to you, but she's someone important, and you don't want to lose her to some Sith hound if you can help it.

"My my... so concerned for me Zev?" The Togruta asks, lightly chuckling as she pats you a few more times. "Do try to remember, my dear Padawan, I am a Jedi Master, one on the council at that. It will take more than a servant of the Dark Side to take me away." She gives you a warm, motherly smile before finally removing her hand from your shoulder. "Besides, you have your own dangers to face without worrying about me. I'll be counting on you to keep the ship and Renari safe."

With that, she steps away from you, just as Master Coltuc seems to have finished speaking with Captain Sayber about some matter. "We all ready to go 'Ran?" The other Master asks, having seen the two of you speaking.

"Indeed Col, the sooner we finish this the better." She replies, the two of them heading for the turbo lift.

"Be safe, you hear me Master!" You call after her, which gets you another smile in return, before the two vanish down to the hangar bay.

Well... back to not really having anything to do besides thinking and meditating. Once more surrendering yourself to The Force, you're able to feel the surrounding battle yet again, all of the people struggling against one another. It's still a mess out there, and you can't actually identify which side is winning so far.

For the moment you need to try to think of a strategy, something that you can use to actually help the Captain and the rest of the ships that are currently engaging the Empire. Thinking back to your lessons, and what you picked up over the years by listening to vets of the war on Nar Shadda, a few important snippits are coming back into your thoughts. Imperial ships generally have stronger weapons than their Republic counterparts, due in part to their overloading the tech, but they fired slower compared to a Republic ship, and generally their speed was slightly lower as well. They valued a barrage of firepower to overwhelm an enemy force, while Republic stratey was more adapted to a longer, drawn out battle in which they were able to manuever and coordinate.

Currently, the Empire still outnumbered the total force of the Republic that was present, yet no more Imperial vessels were arriving, while the Republic was adding strength to the fleet and bringing in fresh vessels, ones that hadn't yet been damaged. Unless something drastically changes though, the influx might not be enough, the ships are simply replacing ones that have been disabled and are no longer able to fight, several have even been outright destroyed, while the Empire still has a majority of their forces in top shape.

If you had to wager...

The longer the fight goes on, the better chance the Republic might have, but it' going to be a struggle to actually get things to that point without losing a majority of your forces, let alone the fact that the Empire could have another fleet incoming at any moment.

>CONT
>>
>>44654555
Okay, how about we somehow position our ships to broadside the imperial ships while leaving them unable to broadside us?
>>
>>44654555

"Concentrate all fire on the super star destroyer"
"Intensify forward deflectors"
"It's a trap!"
"Ramming speed"

just kidding. Who has the upper hand anyway? What sort of objective can the empire have here? Just wipe out defending fleet or smuggle some dropships or bombers planetside?
>>
If you were going to win this battle, the Republic needs to consolidate their forces and prepare for what might come next.

A few things come to mind as to what you could do, though, really, you aren't entirely sure what might be the best.

Temporary retreat, try to wait until more ships arrive, though that could allow for the Empire to have a foothold in the system.

Hit and run tactics, abuse the superior speed of Republic ships along with slower firing Imperial weapons. It'd take a while, but that could result in a victory.

Concentrated fire could result in scoring some major blows, but at the same time if ships are no longer engaging other Empire vessels, they could be leaving themselves open to attack.

Lastely, and perhaps the most dangerous, would be to wait and see if Tikran and the strike force are able to take out the leadership, then strike when the head of the enemy has been taken out, it's a gamble though, and one that might cost a lot of lives

Imperial capital ships don't do broadside as much as front-side(?) no? Their triangle ships tend to have all the turrets able to be fire forward.

Until reinforcement arrives then isolate and eliminate ships one by one.

>>44654648
Currently the Empire has the upper hand due to the fact they arrived in a blitz and erradicated the majority of the forces around the planet. The Republic is just now getting their reinforcements into position to strike back.

It appears the current objective of the Empire is to either cause as much havoc as possible and destroy Republic vessels, or possibly the first wave of an invasion force.

Strike one ship from multiple angles, continue like that

While were doing this, position our ships to flank them with the ships that are inbound to create a surprise pincer maneuver.

Focus fire on their engines, weapons and command decks.

Might as well. Might help to spread the fleet out and force imps to do the same, but try not to end on the wrong side of enemy fleet in case their reinforcements arrive... meaning keeping back to the gravity well, right?

>The ship(s) executing the Marg Sabl would close at high speed against an enemy force. At the last moment, the ship(s) would angle their hulls against the enemy's attack vector, protecting its fighter groups as they sortie. These fighters would then form up and, concealed by the hull of the ship, conduct a flanking maneuver to attack the enemy ships; if the enemy commander is unaware of the maneuver, his fighters and point defenses would be unable to respond in time.

>It was a simple maneuver that was obvious to spot, but when properly executed, it had a highly unstructured attack profile. As a result, most experienced opponents would not fall for it, though species with a psychological blind spot for unorthodox tactics, such as the Elomin or simple-minded OOM command battle droids, would. In the case of the former, the Elomin forces retreated, exposing themselves to complete destruction. In the case of the latter, the droids pressed their ineffectual assault, pinning themselves between the hull of the ship and the flanking fighters, which attacked from all sides.

Allow me to weigh in.

If the Republican ships are *slightly* faster but have a higher sustained firepower compared to the imperial volley-fire....

Why would we wish to engage in short bursts, where the imperials can safely go through a fire-cooldown/rearm/reload/whatever they call it in space-fire cycle?

Wouldnt it be better to move as much as we can towards one flank and then slowly work our way in, not giving any respite?
>>
Think of it more like constant shifting of position and peppering the imperial vessels with fire, rather than a direct exchange of firepower
>>
>>44654877
Because we are outnumbered. Attacks like that work when you have roughly equal or superior numbers.
>>
>>44654663
concentrate fire on the enemy command ship

But...why would we want to that? If Republic ships are favoured in straight up gun-fights (as long as they dont explode from imperial concentrated fire) then why wouldnt we go into direct exchanges of firepower?

Wouldnt the Imperials prefer short bouts where they can concentrate a full volley on a small number of ships and destroy them while the Republic wishes to disrupt the enemy fleet formation and turn it into a large amount of essentially duels where the Imperial guns cannot overwhelm the Republic ships fast enough?

Am I simply misunderstanding everything
>>
>>44654877
You're suggesting something like crossing the T, finding a firing position where as many of our ships can bring their full weight of fire to bear and as few of theirs can as possible.

That tactic loses effectiveness the less regimented and saturated the battle line is. For example crossing the T at Surigao Straight was only nominal as the IJN lines were so sloppy and depopulated the advantage gained was insignificant. If the other fleet is dispersed or chooses to disperse upon noticing our fleet's end run, the maneuver ends up meaningless.
>>
>>44655069
Well, crossing the T also looses most of its bite when the majority of enemy firepower is not found in broadsides.

>>44654663
Can we focus on the various Imperial ship commanders? Figure out what they're feeling/what they're about to do?

If we can just point at a ship and say 'Bluffing' or 'About to attack' we can let the actual strategist make those vital last second tactical movements.

Guys, we should totally do a Marg Sabl

"Captain?" You finally speak, breaking your meditation and once more opening your eyes to view the bridge.

Captain Sayber has been speaking to one of his officers about something, but when you spoke to him, the man turned to face you. "Yes son?" Figuring that if you were going to get his attention, that you had something worthwhile to say.

"It's not really my place to tell you how to do your job, but I think I've got an idea that just might let us hold out until reinforcements arrive." You tell the man, who looks rather intrigued by what you've said. "Can't promise it'll work, but it's the best thing I've managed to come up with."

Adjusting his cap, Captain Sayber glances from you to Jhoruura, the Wookiee giving a series of growls in support of listening to you. "Well all right, let's hear it then. If a Jedi is gonna offer advice I ain't the type of fella to discount it." He replies, giving you a nod and a go ahead to speak.

Moving around to the terminal where the holo-map controls are, you key in a few commands. "The way I see it sir, we aren't going to last long against them at this rate, but we can at least buy some time if we abuse our advantages." You begin while bringing up a simulation of your plan on the holo-map, overriding the current display of the battle. "We've got the superior speed, why not go for a hit and run style of attack? If we keep our engines running at full speed we might not be able to unleash a broadside at complete strength, but we can avoid their heavy turbo-lasers. Our shields should probably be able to deal with the rest of their weapons while we give 'em hell from the sides. Might be able to even take out an engine or two."

The Captain brings a hand to his chin, obviously thinking about what you've just suggested and wondering if it's a worthwhile tactic. "It's got some merit, I'll give ya that son. Let me get on the Coms with a few other captains and we'll see if we can manage it, in the mean-" He's suddenly cut off as an officer from down at one of the stations yells up to you.

"Sir! Incoming Imperial shuttles, they've sent a boarding party that managed to slip under our sensors! Two of them are currently landing in hangar bay three!" The young woman shouts.

"Blast it!" The captain growls, turning back to you. "Zev, I need you and your friend down there to repel any invaders. If they've got a Sith with them, my boys aren't gonna stand a chance."

Glancing to Renari, you can see the girl... doesn't appear to be all there, she's simply looking out of the viewport and something doesn't feel right about her. "Rena?" You ask, getting her attention. "You all right?"

"Hnn? Y-yeah... I've just... never felt anything like this before, a battle like this. It feels like it's causing such an incredible disturbance in The Force." She replies, biting her bottom lip as she comes over to stand next to you.

Well, that'll have to do for the moment. "We'll handle it Captain, but can we take Jhoruura with us? He knows his way around the ship and Nar Shadda rules says you always want the Wookiee on your side when push comes to shove." You ask, glancing to the large furball. Jho is already grabbing his bowcaster and moving to go with you, seems like he made up his mind fairly easily. "Granted, now get down there and give 'em hell will ya? I don't take kindly to Imperials on my ship. A security team will meet you in the hangar." The captain replies, then turning to once more look to the screens in front of him feeding the man information on the battle.

With Renari and Jho at your side, a quick rush over to the turbo lift has the three of you heading down to the hangar bay, and what could be your first real battle.

"Zev... what are we gonna do?" Renari asks from your side. She's scared of this, likely from the idea of you being hurt or killed, like the conversation you had earlier. You promised her nothing bad was going to happen, and you're damn sure not going to let some Sith bastard take you out.

Taking the blaster pistol out of your waistband that the Captain gave you, you give the weapon a look over as you come up with an answer for Renari.

When you've finished inspecting the blaster, you give it a few spins in your fingers, finally tucking the weapon back into your waistband "I'll try to hold off any Sith that are in the hangar, while you assist Jho and the task force in dispatching soldiers. Might not be a Knight, but I should be able to hold my own with Makashi long enough for you to step in and help me when you finish, or things start to look bad." You say to the girl as you now draw your yellow dueling lightsaber. Tikran said that this thing would function well enough for you to defend yourself since she modified it, but it wouldn't be as good as a fully functional lightsaber, hopefully that won't proveto be toomuch of an issue, and you might even be able to pick up one from a Sith, if push comes to shove.

Concentrating, you put up a force barrier around yourself, one of the first lessons you actually got from Tikran. It was going to be dangerous in there, but you believed in yourself and Renari... plus the Wookiee you had standing behind you was a bit of a motivator.

"Right... right. I'll help get rid of the troopers and help you if you need it." Renari replies, giving you a small nod. She pauses for a few seconds, then leans up and kisses you on the cheek. "Stay safe Zev." She softly says.

"Hey, you know me, I'm the best Jedi in the galaxy, ain't nothing gonna bring me down just yet." You say, shooting her a reassuring grin as you prepare yourself.

You can feel a concentration of Force energy on the other side of the door as you arrive at the hangar, a swelling feeling of... darkness, corruption, evil.

When it opens, you're greeted to the sound of blaster fire, crates stacked up and Republic soldiers crouched down behind them exchanging fire with Imperial troopers across the hangar bay. "Oi! Over here!" A soldier shouts to you, just as you move your head out of the way of a blaster bolt.

Part of you says charge into the fray, but the other, more rational side of your brain says go speak to the soldier that called you over. Grabbing Renari's sleeve, you sprint from the turbo lift, dragging her along with you as Jho follows as well, firing his bowcaster towards the Imperials.

Making your way over to the soldier, you crouch down behind cover, once more pulling Renari with you. "You the Jedi we heard about? Cap'n said you'd be coming our way." The soldier says, before moving over to the side and laying down fire onto the enemy. "Corporal Geers, I'm in charge since the Sarge got hit, guess it goes to you now though." He says once he's back around cover and looking to you.

You can smell the burning atmosphere around you from the blaster fire is more than you've ever experienced even on Nar Shadda, and as the Corporal looks to you... you're not entirely sure what he might be expecting.

"Got any orders for us, Sir?" He asks.
