Name: Yzari "Plasteel" Redbranch
Race: Tarn
Department: The Randiri Skyjumpers
Role: Operative/soldier
Skill: Piloting, hand to hand, heavy weapons, tactical/squad leadership - Focus on heavy weapons

Liability: Royal Honor - Believes that the strong should protect the weak, and in turn be given places of deference and power.  Of course Yzari and Tarn in general are particularly worthy in his eyes.

Technoglitched - Yzari loves technology and science, he just does not really understand any of it.  Penalty to using any alien, unusual or unfamiliar technology.  Most standard technology he would equip do not get the penalty as using them has been explained repeatedly with big pictures.  Newly developed tech might lose the penalty after repeated use.

Damn it, I was not expecting a diplomatic mission to go so south.  Dishonorable bastards.  Next time a troop escort goes with all diplomats.  Prepare boarding ships, if the first fleet fails we will take our vengeance.

Mission: Use boarding craft to assault one of the surviving enemy ships, preferably the battle cruiser or another cruiser.  Take no surrender and leave only corpses.  Heavy weapons used freely, the state of the captured vessel is of secondary importance.

I am guessing I will need to wait until the main fleet can engage though.

"I'll take care of these two, if you may, Captain. Otherwise, I suspect where these two came from, a base or outpost to take; I'll be guiding my ship in now, continue with your mission, " Amelia signaled at the Valravn, also noting that if they chose to stay, she could patch any damage up with retrofitted repair ships; otherwise, given the coast being clear, she figured that wherever these two pirates came from--a whole base to assault was primed and ready for the taking. And hopefully without heavy defense platforms.

Take care of boarding and salvaging those two pirate raiders and attempt repairs of those two allied ships.

Afterwards, commit to scanning the origin trajectory of those raiders; is there a base I can assault?

Spoiler: Ship: RTS PL-1 Tiamat (click to show/hide)

Originally designated as a Passenger Liner, this Randiri Troop Ship has been refitted for military purposes, specializing as a training grounds and logistics ship for the Randiri land-based armies and shipboard marines. Unarmed, yet openly a multi-purpose design, it retains its former name and designation in honor of Randiri heritage and history, for what was once a planet-based Republic.

The Tiamat houses a crew complement of hundreds, with a mix of organizational staff and supporting elements making up the majority of its running crew. Its many luxury decks have been refurbished into facilities designed for training and retentional aid for individual personnel, both in fielding the needs of the military in the quality of its troops, and in providing wholesome care for post-battle experience. Several suites dedicated to recreational pursuits have been remade, redesigned, or improved to fit into the working model of wholesome healthcare, ranging from physical to mental health facilities to aid those honorably discharged or otherwise deciding to move from the needs of combat; to assist any processes ranging from resocialization to refinement of other skills and talents. Its extensive passenger bays that were once used to ferry people and supplies were converted to extensive hangar bays, used to ferry cargo, manpower, and supplies--providing a holding ground for multiple cargo ships and shuttlecraft; in extreme measures, all these can be used to aid in boarding actions or other transport methods than resource organization.

Given its original design, the Tiamat was left with a difficult decision to either compartmentalize much of its former services and facilities to house shipboard weaponry and subsequent storage, or to refocus on its potential within the current fleet. At current, it has much potential in the way of shipboard upgrades, and performs on par with the common Passenger Liner in terms of speed and internal quality. It currently possesses a lightly shielded but unarmored hull, alongside strong sensors comparable to a civilian sensor ship, and its engines have been modified to achieve fast maneuvering among many other miscellaneous characteristics, though with much room for planned modifications.

[chubby2man]

The siege cannon rocked the ship, as it discharged a blistering blast of hot laser fire. The RNV Sinkable also fires everything else it has, along with the 2 remaining frigates. Laser fire and missiles fly across the expanse of space separating the two ships. The Dominion battlecruiser groans under the torrent of fire, and explosions tear apart the hull. But it still remains under power, and begins to turn away and flee. The enemy ships quickly respond pouring fire onto the Sinkable.
 
Explosions roll through your ship, and the lights dim, and emergency lighting comes on as sirens wail. Your maneuvers kept your ship from being hulked, but only just. Status reports that the main gun is destroyed, and the ship disabled.  Captain Redbranch of the Skyjumpers comes up to you and asks you to join him in boarding the enemy battlecruiser. It still is under power, and by breaking off from the rest of the fleet, it may be vulnerable to boarding.
 
What do you do?
 
Engineering says that they can rig the Sinkable up to blow once you transmit a message. Do you rig it to blow?
 
What do you order your two remaining frigates to do?


Boarding of the ships

The Tiamat approaches the disabled raider, and sends boarding companies of Sky \Jumpers across. Fierce fighting takes place over the ship, but victory is well in hand. The first team had almost reached the bridge when the reactor core exploded.
 
The Tiamat trembles. Sirens wail. Extensive damage was reported alongside the starboard side of the ship.

Vengeful Night Raiders descended upon what remained of the crippled pirate ship. There were no pirate survivors.

Put out a distress signal.

Order the Frigates to assault the Battle Cruisers, while using the maneuvering thrusts of the ship to put it into a roll and to otherwise hinder boarding to the point where it might be slightly annoying, while putting my vast intellect to support the Frigates by interpreting sensor feeds and assisting with their maneuvers. The end goal of the frigates is to board the Battle Cruiser. by any means.
Wonder when reinforcements will come, and hope to hell they don't shoot at disabled ships. if things look bad to worse, put out a surrender signal.

Name: Bar'Quaria Marloss
Race: Hanarian
Dept: Navy
Role: Admiral, prefers having their own capital ship, but optional.
Skill:
~Augmented Fleet Command: A masterful tactician with a masterful set of implants, enabling them to coordinate their ships in a fashion impossible by most sentients.
Liability:
~Sensitive Implants: Prone to both damage of the digital variety and of the bludgeoning variety to brain case. They don't really "show" in terms of visual looks unless you notice the port on their spine though, most of it is internalized into the Hanarians body.
Forces Under Command: RNV Sinkable, 1 Cruiser, 2 Frigates.
Bar'Quaria stands at an imposing (for his species) 5'9.  However, he is broad-shouldered and very well built, just like the rest of his species. his skin is a fair purple, his eyes beady and black-purple, they almost reflect the light. It is obvious from the way he stands that he must be some sort of authority figure.

If he were to take his excellent set of torso coverings, one would not the metal and implants that cover his spine, ending with a single port on the base of his spine, which can be connected any technology that has a port.

Bar'Quaria Marloss is the admiral of a small fleet of ships, no then a single cruiser, and two frigates while commanding his own Battle Cruiser, the RNV Sinkable.

Spoiler: RNV Sinkable (click to show/hide)

It is notable for being the singular ship salvaged straight from an abandoned shipyard of a dying star system. It was supposed to be a ship of unheralded power with the theoretical ability to supposedly glass planets, but the reality comes far short. The laser that at one point spanned end to end of the ship is now only up to the exterior portions of the front due to the extensive remodeling in its recent past, it could barely pierce an atmosphere now, nevermind scar continents. the rest of the ship did not fare as well in the process of completing it with inferior technology. its other weapons are standard, or even worse than the rest of the fleet, but it is made up for that with ample internal space for ground side operational assets, and is the designated orbital presence, the recovered blueprints even note that the ship could freely enter and exit a Terran Atmosphere if a retrofit on its engines are completed.

the RNV Sinkable is a Siege Cruiser, the main gun could fire upon ships, but it is not as likely to hit as its deck guns. Its main weapon can act as a tactical or strategic strike weapon against planets, but it would be left vulnerable when doing such acts due to its immense power draw. it has ample space for the deployment of ground assets. the space that was once used by its laser was replaced with the support structure and hangar space, in various forms to relieve the otherwise horrific logistical strain that maintaining such a war machine would have.

RNV sinkable may be FUBAR

Captain Deepbloom takes the Erikson into the asteroids. The technicians (6) hack into the communications between the pirate ships and the pirate base. Using this, they manage to gain limited access to the pirate base networks as well, and reveals not only its location, but that the pirates are working on the sly with the dominion, under the Goulden Empire’s nose. The pirates receive ships and men from the dominion, and they raid merchant vessels that come to trade. If the Empire garrison present in the system were to learn of this, the repercussions could be massive for the Dominion.
 
   Captain Deepbloom is approached by his first officer. “Sir, with this data, we can strike a deadly blow against this pirates without firing a shot. I am not confident that our cruiser can take on these war ships.”
 
Do you fall back to let the fleet learn this information, or proceed with combat? If you do fight, when do you transmit the data? If you send it prior to fighting, you may reveal your position and lose advantage, though if you do it during you risk having the data disrupted and losing evidence.
 
Tar: 3
Admiral Katsuo tries to get negotiations going, but to little avail. Your counterpart, High Lord Admiral Tolwin, demands the hostile ships to immediately surrender, and prepare to be boarded.  The Goulden Empire commander, Oren Salswond, promises to try his best to deescalate the situation. He warns that now blood has been shed the fighting will be harder to stop.
 
Blood Librarian:
 Admiral Marloss orders the frigates to board the battlecruiser. (3) The frigate dodge and weave through oncoming fire as best they can, but the combined output of the all the ships overwhelms their defenses. One frigate suffers an explosion in its engines, leaving it crippled. The last frigate, though leaking atmosphere through a breach in its hull, manages to crash into the battlecruiser. Marloss watches the Skyjumper marines take their shuttles to the boarded battlecruiser, as the remaining enemy ships close in and send over boarders of their own.
 
Voidslayer: Yzari
(4) The majority of your SkyJumpers make it through the web of missiles and lasers that separate the two battlecruisers. Captain Redbranch lands in one of the main hangar bays, secured by your personal company. The marines of the frigate crashed into the battlecruiser are fighting a desperate battle, and your order your company to make way to and secure the bridge.
(4) After a hard slog through wreckage and enemy fighters, some of whom you cut down in personal combat, you arrive at the bridge, and take it over. You usher in the command staff of the frigate, and you attempt to flee the gravity well.
 
Which you fail to do. During the fighting the Dominion surround the Battlecruiser, and begin to send over their own marines. You may be able to hold them off for awhile, but their force is overwhelming.

Turn Two now begins! Various bad situations going on, but perhaps some glimmers of hope?

Spoiler:  Exploration cruiser "Erikson" (click to show/hide)

 A large cruiser whose bow bristles with scanner arrays and other systems. Large internal cargo bays allow for prolonged travel and a considerable amount of care is taken in providing crew amenities. As a warship she is undergunned and underarmoured for her size but not hugely, primary weapons consist of large railguns in oddly spiky turrets with additional ballistic and railgun weapons for closer engagements. Numerous scars crisscross the hull that tell of hard fought battles, there is also some evidence of reentry burns on the bow. The bridge appears to not belong to the ship originally.

Back off to a moderate range (further than currently at) and recall the survey ships to me while relaying what we have discovered.

"Captain Deepbloom to any fleet commander, the Pirate scum are working with the Dominion and the Empire is unaware of the situation, with have breached the pirate comms traffic and discovered both this and the location of their base. Pirate forces here are 4 raiders and two captured Cargo ships. I will need additional support to take the base, I could go and contact the rebels and or the imperial garrison in person with this data and try and get extra support for us. Awaiting further instructions, Deepbloom out."
