[Taricus]

Prepare to move into close range with the freighter, sending in about half the marines in, as the other half will defend our side of the connection.

[Kestrel_6]

As you approach, the Voice speaks again.
"how noble, yet foolish. Eighty souls isn't worth your powerful life."
"Sir, we have a connection."
Shall you join the battle?
Outpost: 3 turns

[Taricus]

"Yes. Alright, watch your fire, set up defences right at our entrace airlock. We sweep this ship slowly and purposefully."

[Fortis]

"Warriors, into the boarding pods, and launch for the disabled battleship. Hound dogs, you're in command of the boarding operation. Take control of it however you deem best. Good hunting." Juskot said. "Point defense, take down the missiles. Other weapons, focus on the heavy cruiser. Tell our light cruiser to guard the boarding pods, we'll hold off the other ships for now. The fighters stay with the Monitor and screen the colony for any missiles, bombers, or whatever the pirates send down there."

Taricus: you go to the Boarding Bay.
"standby"
The doors open, showing inert vehicles.
Suddenly, something bursts out of the shadows. Clad in damaged Armour, and armed with a strange weapon, it begins to charge, signalling more to come out of the shadows. Your soldiers open up.
You count six alive. Orders?

Fortis: your soldiers board the pods, as the missiles impact, disabling most of the PD weapons facing you. The assault pods, along with the Cruiser, start their charge on the battleship. The fighters and Monitor manage to destroy the missiles the Rapturians missed. Are you in a Boarding Pod?

Cerapa: what is an Automantic Resonance Reflector?
Location: Omega
"the mission is simple; there is a Batarian arms smuggler, who has been shipping guns to our opponents. Kill him."
Your PDA pings, showing you the location of the building.
And amongst the crowds, two assassins stalk, one has sight of their target, the other a while away.
And above it all, a robed figure is looking, watching
Waiting...

[Taricus]

Open fire, all targets are to be killed with extreme prejudice. Targets are not to be considered dead unless they have a lack of a head or their torso is ripped to shreads.

[Kestrel_6]

The Marines open fire (D6 roll: 3) shredding three, as they fire back, (3 D6, 2,4,4) hitting two (2 D4 ,1,4), killing one outright and glancing off another.
The remaining three manage to engage in hand-to-hand, (3 D6, 2,2,2) but their clumsiness misses your Marines.

[Fortis]

No, Juskot's place is on the ship's bridge. But the Hound Dogs have been sent to command the boarding mission. (I wouldn't mind RPing them) They, and the warriors sent should be enough to take the ship. Have the light cruiser guard the disabled pirate battleship and the pods, while my battleship holds off the other pirate ships. The Monitor and fighters should hold their place in case more missiles are fired.

As the doors fly open on the pods, you lose good men. However, their vengeance quickly kills over Half of theirs. Sporadic fire from an array of weapons on both sides as the pirates fall back deeper into the ship. The Hound dogs are in the thick of it.
You open fire on the Cruiser, and (D100, 92) and penetrate the shields, causing major systems damage. It fires back, (D100, 81) causing moderate damage to your hull.
The Rapturans have lost a Destroyer to the Pirates, and they have killed a Heavy Cruiser in return

Juskot stumbled briefly as the bridge of the battleship lurched and shook as a laser slammed into the hull. He clung to his display with all four arms, and managed to stay upright. It wouldn't do for the commander to be seen falling like an old wolf. An alarm sounded from somewhere after the deep reverberating boom faded away from the impact. "Damage report!" Justkot barked as he regained his footing and looked over the bridge. A chorus of voices answered him, conveying bits of vital information.

"Aft shields are down! Overall shield power down to 40%!" One voice cried.

"Hull breach on fifth deck, sector 4! Scrappers are responding!"Another shouted.

"Power conduits in ion cannon 2 blown, but it's been rerouted! All weapons still operational." A third said.

"Good, We bleed, but we fight on! Tell the light cruiser to join us in the battle. All weapons on the heavy cruiser! And bring up the fighters too, I know they chafe at waiting outside the battle. But the monitor stays to guard the colony against errant missles." Juskot commanded. "And tell the warriors and the Hound dogs to fight on! Take the ship as soon as they can. It's guns on our side will finish this hunt quickly."

[Kestrel_6]

The fighters head to the fight, as the bloody boarding action drags on

Boarding Operation (Khallori Offensive)
250 Regular Marines (1CP), 5 Hound Dogs (3CP)
Vs
95 Regular Pirates (1CP), 5 Pirate Cutthroats (2CP)

Bonuses
(Pirates) Desperation (+1 CP/Marine)

Overall
Khallori at 265 (+69)= 334
Pirates at 105 (+20)= 125

Pirates Lose 30, 1 Cutthroat
Khallori Lose 18, 1 Hound Dog incapacitated

As the fight enters a few minutes, but to the combatants, it feels like an eternity. You lose more good men to the cowardly pirates. You have taken down one of those Cutthroats, but one of the Hound Dogs have been wounded. You are starting to get to the bridge, and already the pirates are firing up the escape pods.

The fighters are approaching the battle, and the light cruiser opens up on the pirates' cruiser, (D100, 48) narrowly misses. The fighters will arrive next turn. The Battleship (D100, 91) and it's punishing volley destroys the heavy cruiser, and the other destroyers have warped out of the battlefield, the same for the fleet the Rapturans have engaged.
"Orders, Sir?"

[Taricus]

Pull back out of Melee, and open fire!

[Kestrel_6]

Your troops pull out, but the enemy (D6, 6,6,1) (D4,4,4) destroy two more robots. You open fire, (D6, 2) killing two. The last fires back (D6,4) (D4, 4) killing another.
You shoot as it advances, (D6, 4,5) shredding it with automatic fire in apparent ultra slow motion, each round making a spray of corrupted blood, to the song "More Than a Feeling" by Boston, in the main chorus.
"Hangar, Clear!"
Shall you continue advancing?
Outpost, 2 turns

[Taricus]

"Press on, we have to clear the entire ship!"
