Announcement: [Neutron]: (Only visible from or in orbit of Nar Shaddaa) High above Nar Shaddaa, a small (relatively!) vessel jumps out of Hyperspace. It is all black and has red markings that are not quite dissimilar from the Empire's. It looms in space for a few moments, imposing, but not threatening or otherwise seeming to do anything else.

Announcement: Neutron shouts, "If anyone wants to DO anything to the ship, lemme know. Also, if you have any appropiate Knowledges, lemme know."

Announcement: [Neutron]: (Only visible from or in orbit of Nar Shaddaa) After a few silent moments, what looks like a dropship emerges from the vessel and moves in to land on the planet, quickly disappearing into the atmosphere of Nar Shaddaa.

The sound of a sad ocarina drifts through the starport, occasionally drowned out by the roar of engines and the hum of repulsors. The man playing the device is leaning against a crate near hangar RV-6704, facing the urban canyon and away from the starport at large. He's not easily in view, but if one comes to investigate, he wears a black cloak with the hood pulled low. He uses both black-gloved hands to play the awkward-looking device, and the tune is sad, sweet, and yearning of the wind.

Landing rather gracefully, a black dropship with red logos (looking uncannily like that of the Empire) lands in the Spaceport. For now, it just stands there, a pitch black ship, the only other feature being a control panel next to the hatch.

Sitting out front of the Rebel Yell hangar is Kelnas. Perched in a small folding chair, the 30 something Wroonian is making small user adjustments to his Armor. Looking up as the black ship lands, he raises an eyebrow and speaks to no one in particular. "Well...that seems ominous."

A young Echani is sitting down on a crate in the back of the room with a cig in his left hand and a pencil in his right hand working on a notepad on his knee. He is dressed in a bright red suit with a silver chain connected from his pocket watch to his jacket. He then exhales the smoke into the air as the ship lands on the pad he watches it for a moment with a tad of worried look in his eyes. Sirus as he is known at the moment on this planet then shakes his head with a confident smile. "What the...."He let's the words hang there for a moment and then he drops the smoke crushing it under his boot as he leaps off the crate.

A sleek TIE/ad came streaking into Parmac's and barely slows down as it went straight into the private hangar of the Waywards. As the dropship is landing the hangar doors are beginning to lower. Ax was still pulling on his scout gear as the ship was landing. "First Order!" he calls out to those around him, hoping they get the warning. It wasn't his first time facing those markings.

Sar Yavok is standing outside of Rebel Yell's hangar, arms crossed as he watches over a few of his soldiers running drills. His brows raise as Kelnas speaks and he looks over his shoulder at the shuttle. "First Order," he says dryly, his hand moving to rest on the hand cannon in his holster. "Kel...start clearing the area. Get any civies you can find out of here." A look to his soldiers and he offers them a nod, sending the five Rebel Yell Commandoes scrambling into the hangar to retrieve their gear.

Kadi and Lily, along with the dog, are on the way back up into the space port, having been out in the Corellian district. She is singing off-key, as she makes her way back to the Waywards Hangar, pausing as she spies the black dropship. She frowns briefly, and then shakes her head, at least until the streaking fighter zooms into the hangar she was heading to, and the door starts to lower. Oops. She stares for a moment, and then increases her pace a little, walking faster to get that way.

Suddenly, the ocarina music stops. The black hood lifts slowly as the dark shuttle comes down from above, all-too familiar... Slowly tucking the small instrument away, Rax stands up from the crate he is leaning against, looking down briefly into the endless urban canyon he was overlooking. Turning aside with a flare of the cloak, he begins to stride away, around the crate.

With a loud hiss, the dropship door opens, revealing that it does indeed have enough space for 30 people. Striding out, clad in Chromium armour, a Stormtrooper approaches the main Spaceport, carbine clutched in their hands. They are flanked by five pure white Stormtroopers who follow their lead toward the main area of the Spaceport.

Kyanggha Casually wandering out of one of the private hangars, Kyanggha looks over to the arrival of a ship and then the stormtroopers that emerge from it and stops where she is. She pauses there, watching, right on the edge of that hangar.

Sirus flicks the safety into place on his D.D.C. Defender, lowering the blaster pistol away.

Ax takes a deep breath, moving towards Kadi. "Keep your head down, baby," he says as he approaches the petite engineer and her droids. "I'm going to make sure our ships are ready to bolt should the need arise. If there's any threat, use the emergency entrance to the hangar and get out." His look to her is one of concern. This wasn't the first time they'd faced the First Order, and given their agendas, it wouldn't be the last.

Sirus as he watches them with a soft smile on his face and moving into the place that all spies like best out of the way of fire but with a clear view. His fingers tracing slowly on the crate he sneaks behind just happening to be close enough to view it all. His notepad is once again in his hand starting in his jawa basic huttenes code with a huge smile at them and noticing his friend now out there. He watches Ax for a moment debating on what to do but for the moment just hanging back hidden.

Nodding to Sar, Kelnas stands quietly. "Do me a favor and set one of the boys on Idony? Don't want her coming out here." securing his staff on his back, the Wroonian begins making his way through the starport, casually talking to bystanders and pointing them towards the nearest safe route out.

Kasia is just returning to the port, heading in the direction of those private hangars. She only glances at any arriving ships, it's a busy port and her focus is only vaguely on her surroundings, but the emergence of stormtroopers certainly more notable, and makes her slow for a beat, and then speed up as she continues to move for those private hangars.

Kadi and her two droids pause as there's that loud hiss, and the dropship door opens. She looks over at Ax, as he comes her way and nods. "I have pastries," she adds inanely. "From the Corellian sector." And then a half shrug. "I am just on my way home, honestly, after a bit of shopping." She's a bit unsettled, but also curious to know what is going on.

Sar Yavok nods to Kelnas and turns to watch the Stormtroopers. His eyes move to fall on Kasi and he waves her over, an urgency in his eyes. He's a dumb hero-type, but he's not dumb enough to engage the super soldiers. Yet.

Among the five storm troopers that follow behind Captain Phasma is Master Sergeant KT-3435. She moves along steadily, weapon held ready. She had heard about Nar Shaddaa, as most people probably would, and rock didn't really have a good reputation for safety. Caution was wise.

Noko Trenor was haggling with a local shipmaster when the dropship came down, and business gave way to curiosity. He stands beneath a useless, have rotten canopy filled with crates and shipping orders, smoking a cigarra as he looks out as the Stormtroopers descend into the ranks of civilians. He keeps calm, taking a long puff of his cigarra as he takes a slow look around, accounting for the easiest, least open exits from the main area. For now, he settles on watching.

Rounding the corner of the large crate, the black-cloaked figure stops for only a moment to take stock of the forces emerging from the shuttle. Reaching into the cloak to retrieve something, the long, wide sleeves of the cloak mask whatever was withdrawn, but he does begin to stride forward once more, the hood casting his face is shadows save for his lower jaw. But Rax Vaelus is a very large man, and those who know him will recognize the new attire: Long black cloak, black-and-grey close-fitting robes. Red gi. Loose black pants tucked into black boots. From the tilt of his head, he's ready to mess someone up.

The Chromium-clad Stormtrooper finally comes to a stop at the gathered group of people. "We have no qualms with any of you. Nar Shaddaa will not be harmed if you comply with us and do not resist. Failure to follow will result in imprisonment or death." A vaguely feminine vocoded voice comes out of the silver soldier, the Stormtroopers flanking her sweeping the area and always on alert.

Kyanggha rumbles as she folds her arms across her chest, not looking exactly /delighted/ to see the stormtroopers. "rwarrl, rwarrl /rwowoal/ rwarrl rwarrl rwarrl. grarrrl rwarrl woeieowl rwowoal rwarrl wrall, rwowoal wrall. wrall, woeieowl woeieowl woeieowl grarrrl rwal wrall rwowoal wrall rwarrl."

With Ax heading back swiftly into the closed down hangar, Kadi catches sight of Sar, and heads over to stand beside him, quietly. She keeps her hands always in plain sight, and is still followed by the two droids. Once there, she watches and listens, taking in the sights. Though Kyanggha gets a half grin, even with Kadi missing half the words spoken by the Wookiee.

Tapping Kasia on the shoulder gently as he walks past her, Kelnas speaks softly. "Get to Sar. Be safe...don't run." that done, the Wroonian continues moving, making a circuit around the troopers and clearing out bystanders as he goes. Rax is spotted and given a slight shake of the head as he mouths "Not...yet."

Kael Greystorm makes his way out of the hangar access door and pauses just outside of the Wayward Hangar crossing his arms as he leans up against the wall next to the access door and just watches the spaceport for now.

Standing in such a way that would intimidate most beings, the Stormtrooper stares down the Wookie (despite being the same height as her). "What did you say to me, Wookie?" She demands, the tone rather derogatory of the 'wookieness'.

Sar Yavok looks over to Qadira and raises his eyebrows to her, saying, "Don't worry about a thing, alright? Just stay cool." The merc commander's hand still rests firmly on the grip of his hand cannon, despite his words.

Moments later, five armored and armed mercenaries reappear from inside the Rebel Yell hangar. Sar regards them over his shoulder and says, "Just chill for now. No need to spook anybody."

The hooded figure pauses in its advance, the hood turning aside toward Kelnas. It stares for three long seconds before turning once more toward the chrome-covered leader of the troopers. He does, however, remain where he is, not yet advancing further.

Kyanggha stands in a rather similar way, her furry self clearly not cowed by being stared at intently by a stormtrooper. "woeieowl ror rwoarl rwowoal rwarrl." She notes with a surprisingly degree of calm, especially for a wookiee.

Kasia's gaze is drawn up to the Wroonian, listening to those quiet words. "Alright," she answers, managing a small smile up at Kelnas before she continues to move for the hangar, and Sar. She only spares a glance or two for the troopers along the way.

Sirus then watches for a moment and then he slides out his vibroblade slowly as he is hidden back there and with a frown. He then moves a tad closer moving to another crate with slow motions and then he settles down behind it with a shake of his head. He then gets the blade down by his side and then he starts to sketch slowly the symbol on the side of the ship with his free hand.

Trenor steps back into the shipmaster's canopied office, some. He settles for leaning on some stacked crates, half protected by those before him as he plays spectator. Whatever his business dealings were, here, they've been put on hold. He keeps smoking as Kyanggha 'greets' the visitors, he shifts his attention to the mercenaries in the Rebel Yell, and lastly, settles his attention on the stormtrooper in chrome. He ashes his cigarra, without peeling his eyes from the unfolding events before him; calm green eyes, quietly sizing up the players in place. He returns the cigarra to his mouth.

With a grunt, the Chromium Stormtrooper steps away from the Wookie, clutching her carbine. "Don't do anything stupid wookie, it would be such a shame if you got hurt." The Trooper says cooly, watching the wookie with what is likely a glare.

KT-3435, aka Maze, scans the area with the rest of the squad. The wookiee causes a fairly tense situation to get even more-so, as it was clear there were a lot of suspicious people in the vicinity. She didn't like the way some of them looked at the Troopers.

Therous Caavuna walks into the starport district, gazing about himself with a calculative gaze, his eyes scanning all about him cautiously as he heads towards the middle of the district, keeping his vibroblade at his side as he walks.

Turning his hood slightly, the black cloaked figure lands a single, bright cerulean-blue eye upon Maze from within the shadows. The color of lightning, it cuts across the distance between them, burning with intensity. His arms down at his sides, the wide sleeves of the cloak completely covering his hands, he simply stands there, waiting...

Having stopped where he had wanted to go, Therous, continues to gaze about, then notices the wookie being handled by the storm trooper a short distance away from him and keeps his eyes locked on the trooper, watching her every move.

"rwowoal. rwarrl wrall worowl rwoarl, worowl rwarrl rwal rwowoal rwarrl rwarrl woeieowl rwowoal, rwowoal rwarrl rwal wrall rwarrl rwarrl wrall wrall wrall rwarrl rwarrl woeieowl. rwal rallr grarrrl rwowoal." Kyanggha comments with a toothy smile towards the chromed stormtrooper.

Kadi nods to Sar, giving him a smile. She turns her attention to Kyanggha, as she tries to figure out what the Wookiee is saying. The frown on her face is solely one of concentration, because her Shyriiwook is not all the way there.

Continuing to glare at the wookie, the Stormtrooper raises her blaster carbine at the wookie, waiting to see what the reaction is from the rest of the assembled group. She doesn't have much of an intention to fire, but it certainly looks like it.

"You...uh...you folks need something in particular?" Sar asks loudly of the Stormtroopers, the shiny on in particular. His hand moves from his blaster and his arms cross across his chest. A squint rests on his eyes as he attempts to draw attention from the Wookiee.

Therous Caavuna then steps close to the trooper handling the wookie, being careful not to look her in the eye, before calmly and slowly asking her, "Where are you taking this wookie, and what use does she have for you?" he continues to watch the trooper closely, not taking his eyes off either the trooper or the wookie.

Sighing softly as the Carbine is raised at Big momma, kelnas mutters "Shit." slipping his hands into the storage pockets on his armor, The Wroonian begins moving towards Kyann and the FO group.

Trenor takes one last long puff of his cigarra, than removes it from his lips. He sets the ashed end to a waist high crate, and twists the cigarra clockwise than counter until the flame is smothered. He shakes loose the burnt out gray dust from the end, than packs in the end of the flameless treat with his thumb. He puts the remnants of the cigarra away in the left hand pocket of his overcoat. He shifts sideways, slowly edging further behind the stacked crates, beneath the shipmaster canopy, peeking out from the edge as if expecting tensions to come to a head soon.

As soon as Kelnas begins moving towards Kyan and Phasma, Maze takes a few steps forward, interjecting and raising her carbine at him. "Stay where you are. And put your hands where we can see them."

Kadi stays where she is, watching. Her hands are visible, there's no threat from the petite engineer. She blinks at Therous at his question, her gaze darting to Kyanggha and then over to the stormtroopers, with a bit of alarm now showing. "Let's not do anything hasty," she says softly.

"rwarrl?" Kyanggha looks down the carbine and then back to the chromed stormtrooper, quite deliberately not drawing the bowcaster that's across her back. "rwarrl wrall /rwarrl/ rwarrl grarrrl rwarrl rwowoal? worowl rwarrl woeieowl? rwowoal rwowoal wrall wrall? woeieowl rwal woeieowl rwarrl rallr worieowl rwowoal rwowoal grarrrl wrall woeieowl woeieowl roarrl rwowoal. rwowoal rwarrl rwal, roarrl."

And then Rax Vaelus is moving again, striding toward the troopers from somewhat behind and to the side. He moves with purpose, but his speed is casual. The cloak flares out from his heels, spreading slowly like rising wings as the Nar Shaddaa wind catches it. His hood is still up, easily revealing only his lower jaw, though flashes of blue eyes can occasionally be seen within the black cloth.

"Wookie, you will speak Basic or I will assume you are standing in my way." The Chrome Stormtrooper says through their vocoder, not a hint of mercy in her voice as she keeps her carbine trained on her.

Therous Caavuna then raises a hand to the wookie sempathetically, in an attempt to calm her, before looking to kadi once more, saying once more in a controled calm tone, "Forgive me, was only curious was all. I did not know what had caused this, so i wished to primarily investigate for my own personal need." he says, giving the wookie one last wink before withdrawing, but remaining where he is.

Lofty the Talz peers out of the private hangar number five, having heard the sounds of a large dropship. His upper set of eyes go wide as he sees stormtroopers.

Ax makes his way back from the hangar. The large doors were currently closed, but ships behind them were prepping for launch just in case. The Echani comes back just in time to hear a demand from the Chromium-clad trooper telling a wookiee that they had to speak basic. He just shakes his head. "Hey, chrome-dome!" he calls out. "I don't know what they teach you in the First Order, but there are species in the galaxy who cannot speak basic. They lack the anatomy for it. If you'd like though, I could translate for you."

Offering a quiet smile at maze, Kelnas slips his hands from his pockets once more. a packet of tobacco in one hand, the other hand is free. "Easy now chief. Just having a smoke and retrieving my Wookie friend before there's a misunderstanding."

Kael Greystorm glances over at Ax as he steps out of the hangar and offers him a nod, "Hey there. Interestin scene to watch. Everything secure inside? Looked like it was all locked up proper to keep the theives out when I stepped outside."

Maze doesn't really relax, even when she notices that Kelnas is not drawing a weapon. Going for a smoke in the middle of such a situation is not exactly wise, usually. She doesn't respond - the captain is the one dealing with the wookiee.

"woeieowl rwarrl rwarrl rwarrl wrall /rwal/, wrall. rwarrl rwarrl wrall grarrrl grarrrl wrall rwarrl rwowoal rwarrl rwarrl rwowoal rwowoal rwowoal wrall rwal rwarrl wrall woeieowl rwowoal rwarrl rwarrl rwowoal wrall, rwarrl rwarrl rwowoal woeieowl ror wrall rwowoal rwarrl woeieowl ror rwarrl woeieowl rwarrl." Kyanggha comments, still watching the chromed stormtrooper, but answering a whole other question. And clearly, not in Basic. She hasn't moved, nor drawn her weapon. "woeieowl rwarrl rwarrl rwowoal grarrrl grarrrl worieowl, woeieowl woeieowl."

Turning her head to Ax, the Stormtrooper speaks, "Translation would be appreciated, the Wookiee clearly doesn't realise that obstructing my task is going to end badly for her."

Bar'duur appears behind the Talz near Hangar 5 peeking first up over Lofty's shoulder, then over the other shoulder, then down near his side, trying to get a good view, he soon nudges the Talz a little and pushes the door open a bit more so he can get a good view. "What is going on?" Askes the Zabrak with an expression of mild confusion. "Who are those?"

Sar Yavok spots Kelnas is a bit of a pickle and looks back to Kasi and Kadi, saying, "Stay here. Get into cover if it looks bad." He moves to approach Maze and Kel and says, "I've got about as much authority here as you do, but I would like to request that you not stick your gun in the faces of my employees. If you got a problem, you aim at me."

Therous Caavuna then gives a glance over to Kelnas, before returning his gaze to the wookiee, then darting his eyes to the trooper, dressed in all armor. he pins his eyes upon the trooper, almost piercing her with his stair, as if watching her every move, keeping his hand poised on his blaster just in case. he addresses Kelnas, "this wookie a friend of yours/ if she is, i would suggest takeing her and go, if i have too i will deal with the trooper myself. But no one needs to die now." he says, as he returns his eyes back onto the trooper, piercing her with his stair.

Kasia reaches the hangar that was her desired location, moving to stand near Sar. "Alright," she replies, nodding to him slightly. For the time being, she remains precisely where she is, gaze turning out towards Phasma.

Ax gives Kyan a nod, "Yeah, you're probably right. Granted, they're a bit outside their jurisdiction aren't they?" he asks, addressing the Wookiee with a grin before walking up, hands in plain sight and out to his side. "I think my friend is curious as to your presence here," he says to the trooper. "It's a question we all have. This is Hutt-controlled space, and we're all businessmen and women here, so it's an honest question. If you told everyone before, forgive me for I just arrived," he says, gesturing towards a growing crowd of onlookers. "A lot of people just arrived, and I'm sure you are a very competent soldier, as are a lot of your men, but this planet is full of competent fighters, and most of them are dirty sons of bitches who don't fight like gentlemen, so let's not let this turn ugly, huh?"

Trenor remains leaning on the stacked crates, mostly concealed behind them as he watches the confrontation in silence. The ash from his cigarra sits undisturbed on a lower crate, between him and the open spaceport, without so much as a breeze knocking through the shipmaster's canopied office to kick the gray dust into the air. He doesn't appear intent on sticking his neck out into this skirmish waiting to happen, as much as he seems interested in observing it.

Kadi's gaze flashes to Ax, and she takes a step back. As the Stormtrooper seems to be willing to let Ax translate she relaxes a bit, visibly. And as Sar speaks up, she winces. She glances over at Kasia a little wryly, before she says softly, "I'd like to go home and eat my pastries, honestly, but at this point I just figure these soldiers won't want any of us to move. So I'm waiting." She is holding her shopping bag in one hand, still just waiting and watching. She might be watching Ax a bit more carefully than anyone else, maybe.

Sirus is just watching for the moment and his pencil softly making notes on his paper. He then slides the knife slowly behind his back in case things get a little more dangerous for himself. He then moves slowly towards the edge of the crate trying to get a better view of the action. His wide silver eyes light up with the amusment of finding something juicy.

"Why we are here is none of your concern, just know that intefering will certainly anger me." The Stormtrooper states, turning back to Kyann, she looks her up and down. "The Hutts are not a concern of mine, let's leave it at that."

People keep moving closer. One would suspect they'd do the opposite, but apparently people on Nar Shaddaa are stubborn. Maze keeps her carbine trained on Kelnas, though she is tempted to check Ax as well. Others can handle that. She had her target for the time being. "Back up."

Rax Vaelus slows down as it appears that no battles will be taking place after all. Leaning against a tarmac light pole, he simply waits and watches, taking no part in the dialogue between local powers and the First Order. He's not said a word since the shuttle landed.

"rwowoal wrall, wrall rwarrl rwowoal rwarrl grarrrl rallr rwowoal rwarrl woeieowl /rwarrl/ wrall.. wrall, rwarrl wrall rwal rwarrl.. rwowoal.. rwarrl.. roarrl rwal rwarrl woeieowl roarrl.. rwowoal rwowoal rwarrl wrall wrall, worieowl, wrall rwarrl wrall rwowoal rwoarl rwoarl rwarrl rwowoal rallr? rwal wrall woeieowl rwarrl worowl woeieowl roarrl." Kyanggha growls out in Ax's direction, giving Phasma a similar assessingly up and down glance. "rwarrl rwowoal.. rwowoal rwarrl woeieowl rwowoal rwarrl wrall. wrall."

Therous Caavuna then gives a bit of a smirk and a nod, his hand still over the stock of his blaster as he reacts to the troopers movements, his eyes turning very instinctual, "Oh i think it is being that you are on Corellia, and well, let me put it this way trooper, your armor, and blaster do not scare me, i have seen much worse then you. Just know this, i will fire if you fire first. I may be just a civilian, but i know how to defend myself. So go on, do as you will trooper." he says, his feet planted firmly into the ground, as he continues to watch the troopers movements, giving a bit of a casual wave to the others present.

Kasia takes a small step to the side, so that she's standing right beside Kasi. "Eating pasteries does sound like a preferrable to this," she replies in a hushed voice. "But you're probably right. It'd probably not be wise to draw too much attention right now."

Shaking his head at maze, kelnas offers another quiet smile. "Nope. Can't do it. you just keep that stick pointed at me...best place right now." Hands still up in the air the Wroonian doesn't turn hsi head away as he speaks to Sar. "I got this Boss. All good. We're all friends."

"Well, you might be a concern of theres," Ax says to Phasma. "Nobody here wants violence... well there are some here who do I'm sure, but last thing anyone wants is a bunch of civilian casualties which would come about if things get ugly. The rub, however, is that people here are a bit stubborn. Many of them refugees or children of refugees of the Galactic war. Many others reside here because they don't like people telling them what to do, especially people who are vastly outnumbered, probably outgunned, and aren't locals who know how to get around this city planet quickly and quietly." The Echani takes a deep breath. "Now, I know you aren't the Empire. The Empire was a bunch of xenophobic pricks. But, well, you dress like them, talk like them, and throw down threats like them." When the Wookiee speaks though, Ax looks to her, then back to Phasma. "She thinks you don't like her, and wonders how anyone is interfering with your mission by just standing here in the spaceport? It's a pretty big place after all. And, unless we're all under arrest or something, it would be quite simple for you to walk around any groups. Nobody wants things to get messy, after all."

"I think 'friends' might be a little liberal, but whatever you said, Blue Boy," Sar says, arms crossing and eyes resting on Phasma. Now that's a shiny metal ass he wouldn't mind biting. Ahem.

Noko Trenor leans just a little further out to take note of Ax, as the Echani provides a speech. He stares a little longer than the words run, as if committing a face and ship to memory, than returns to his more relaxed posture, head back, watching the immediate surroundings of the chrome trooper.

Finally, Phasma's attention turns to Sar Yavok. "And what authority do YOU have, exactly?" She asks, observing him with an air of contempt. "Right now, I am in charge, surely you understand that?"

Vin-vul notices the commotion at the tarmnac. He enters into the area and then moves his form to stand on a bunch of crates. Some small droids circle by his head then they open wide over his head, showing a holograghic sign displaying his stores sign. He grabs his comlink and one of the droids acts as a small bullhorn, "Welcome all new arrivals to Nar Shaddaa! Vin's Custom Mods and Gun is open for your business, weither you're a visiting tourist or a First Order Storm Trooper, there is no pistol I can't work on! Feeling like you can't hit the broad side of a bantha? Come have me install you a accuracy chip so that you can aim better! First ten customers get a ten percent discount on the install! While supplies last!"

"Zero," Sar responds flatly to Phasma, before continuing, "Same as you." He looks her over for a moment, "The armor's nice, though." His eyes squeeze into a squint, hands moving to rest around the buckle of his gunbelt.

"In charge? The only thing you're in charge of is Jack and shit, and Jack left town," Ax says to Phasma, with a chuckle. "Babe, your grunts might take down a few people. Hell, I'd say if they're competent, they might even get an average of 4 targets each, but there are millions of fighters here with millions more in support, all of who don't much like people bullying them around. So, show some respect, make nice, and people will likely be much more obligating."

Therous Caavuna then noticing that the crome trooper is not so much of a threat to him, backs off, giving the wookiee another wink, before smiling and waving at the others. "Please parden my interruption gentleman, i'm just here for a ship."

Kelnas raises his fists, ready to fight, the glint of Metal Knuckles can be seen on his hand.

That goes it, Phasma turns to Ax and levels her carbine on him. "My orders were to secure the area, and that is exactly what I will do. If you won't leave, I will be forced to remove you by force."

Kael Greystorm glances around the starport a bit and then walks up to stand slightly behind Ax his arms coming uncrossed and resting on his pistol grips but keeping them holstered as he watches the troopers around Phasma a bit but he's not making any threatening moves for now.

Sar Yavok lets his arms lower back down to his sides, taking with them the threatening gesture of his BlasTech EE-3 boomstick as well.

Balancing the carbine, Phasma pulls back on the trigger and sends a blaster bolt flying toward A. When it lands, it hits him squarely in the chest.

    GAME: Ax has given Ax 94 wound points. He looks dead.

Well, point blank shot from a carbine, armor aside, Ax goes straight to the ground. Not much the man can do except fly back. Yep, things were going to get ugly, but he wouldn't be a part that fight.

Lifting his hood slowly off his head, Rax's blazing eyes are revealed to the light, wide and intense. Taking off in a dead sprint toward the Stormtroopers, the black-cloaked figure snaps his arm out to the side as Ax goes down in a screech of plasma fire. There is suddenly a loud sound of energy slicing against glass, and a beam of brilliant blue and white energy emerges from under the sleeve of the cloak.

Whipping his hands up above him, Rax holds a chrome, gold, and black lightsaber in hand, and he leaps, spinning as he whirls the blade about! The plasma tube drags across vision to become wide, sweeping bands of light, humming with furious hunger as they spiral and spin, carving into the troopers!

Lofty brings up his rifle, still crouching in the entrance of the Rebel Yell hangar across the way. He aims it at the saucy stormtroopers that are firing at people.

Three of the four Stormtroopers fall down after being lightsabered to death. Phasma swears and hits her commlink. "Beta Squad, Gamma Squad, Alpha Squad has been taken out, provide back up ASAP." She says with a hiss.

Therous Caavuna watches on, chuckling to himself as he does, whilst findig a place within the shadows for cover, not wanting to get involved at the moment.

Therous Caavuna then decides against his better judgement, pipping out of cover to stand before the trooper captain, his vibroblade wielded, and poised to strike.

"Ax!" Sar shouts as he Echani buddy is gunned the hell down. "Rebel Yell, drop the fools!" He swings his F-11 to bear at Phasma and pulls the trigger four times in quick succession, obviously taking out a little bit of rage on the Stormtrooper commander. Looks like the wedding's off.

    GAME: Phasma has given Phasma 36 wound points. She looks injured.
    GAME: Phasma has given Phasma 28 wound points. She looks injured.

Kyanggha tugs back the cocking cord as she brings the bowcaster up to bear. The weapon hums lightly with electricly charging anger.

Sirus just stays low behind the crate with a huge smile and watching for the moment and then he notices his friend goes down. He frowns at that but he is not built for combat that is his brother. He then starts to take more notes on all of it. This was a bad time for a stroll.

"Ohno!" Emits the Zabrak over by hangar 5, a loud shocked sound and he is instantly reaching for his blaster, since well, he's a bit out of range to beat up the stormtroopers with his sword or fists. He draws the 'princess' and aims it to fire. He gets off two shots with the pistol, the first going wide but the second strikes the white-wearing soldier straight on.

Letting the Tobacco pouch drop with a wink, Kelnas closes the remaining distance between himself and Maze. Slapping the barrel of the gun to the side, the Wroonian drives Metal wreathed knuckles into the Master Sergeant's helmet repeatedly with piston like accuracy and speed.

A blaster bolt hitting their shoulder, a Stormtrooper reels around and points his carbine at the one wielding a lightsider and opens fire.

KT-3435 apparently doesn't have time to react before getting punched repeatedly in the helmet. She goes down like a sack of potatoes.

    - Rax Vaelus has taken 57 points of wound damage. He is currently Injured.
    - Rax Vaelus has taken 7 points of stun damage. He is currently Injured.

The moment the first blaster shot sounds, Noko Trenor snaps his head back from view. There's no outward fear in his expression. He no longer just looks calm, though. His body is tense, and his eyes start searching, looking further back into the canopied office for alternative exits into the port; and out from there. It, however, doesn't appear to be his intent to run out into the first volley of fire. But the snap-hiss that follows is enough to start queueing his interest, once more. He leans on the stacked crates once more, but keeps his head back as he listens for additional blaster fire; especially any that might be cutting from the action in his direction. He takes a breath, hearing the air searing woosh of blast weaponry fly anywhere but near him, for the moment, and cranes his head out to assess the damage; who is down, who is firing, and who the hell is holding the glowy blue sword. His green eyes widen, as he watches, pupils darting from party to party as he susses out the action.

"AX!!!" Kadi's shout is loud, anguished and obvious. She doesn't draw a weapon, she dives over to Ax, reaching for her own comm unit on the Waywards channel, on her knees by his side. "Maeve, Ax has been shot, there's attackers at the starport here on Nar. Help, please. He got shot and went down hard." She can certainly hope the doctor is in and hears her. That done, she starts trying to check if Ax is breathing. And yes, she is totally ignoring everything and everyone else. The two droids stay with her, in a purely defensive mode, but not attacking. Lily whirbeeps sadly.

Kael Greystorm doesn't have time to react at first as he watches Ax get gunned down right in front of him. He draws out his blaster pistol in his right hand and starts to fire towards Phasma... And misses wildly.

Phasma turns the safety of her Sonn-Blas F-11D Blaster Rifle back on, and lowers the weapon to a less threatening state.

    GAME: Phasma has given Phasma 34 wound points. She looks dead.

"rwarrl wrall." Kyanggha growls in clear irritation as Phasma hauls off and shoots Ax, dropping him like a bloody sack of potatoes. She draws out her bowcaster and settles it in Phasma's direction. "rwarrl. wrall rwarrl rwal grarrrl rwowoal wrall wrall, grarrrl? rwal grarrrl." *TWANG* *TWANG* The wookiee is a good shot. And NOW she's cranky.

The bowcaster bolt hits Phasma in the gut, sending the Stormtrooper flying over. For now, she's unconcious and unable to fight. And just at that moment, another, smaller dropship arrives. A group of five Stormtroopers dash out of the dropship, obviously having heard Phasma's earlier call for backup.

The whirling robes of Rax sail around and settle as he moves to face one of the surviving Stormtroopers, his lightsaber humming brilliantly up at his side. He locks eyes with the white and black helmet, and suddenly there's a screech of plasma.

Rax rocks slightly, his wide eyes shifting to look of surprise. The wind knocked out of him, he doesn't even cry out as the plasma burn turns black just below the ribcage, sending up little coils of smoke from his burned clothing and flesh.

The confused expression lasts for the longest second of his life as Rax stares at the Stormtrooper, and he whispers, "That's the spirit..." It doesn't even hurt. Not yet. It will. But...for now, just right now, Rax Vaelus feels only a dull shock to his system. Forcing himself to move, riding on pure adrenaline, Rax roars and launches forward, waving the beam of light into broad arcs that dive savagely into the oncoming reinforcements!

The trooper that shot him is left behind, unharmed.

Responding to the summons she caught via comm, and carrying the heavier of the two medical backpacks that she totes around while on call, Maeve rushes through the confused and scurrying people around the spaceport and shoves her way inside only to rock to a halt once she does so. Caution slows her steps as she sweeps a quick look around, her lips moving as she does a head count of the troopers before she starts edging away from the entrance and, contrarily, away from the pretense of safety.

Just arriving to see their commander shot down, one of the reinforcing Stormtroopers doesn't even stop to ask questions, they raise their carbine to the wookie and fire.

Lofty the Talz leaves the safety of his hangar and starts advancing, bolstered by the ignomious demise of CAPTAIN PHASMA. He fires his sporting rifle twice at Stormtrooper 8608 but both orange blaster bolts go wide. "Save Ax!" he warbles through his proboscis.

Sar Yavok grins as Kyanggha helps him finish of Phasma for now and spins to send a blaster bolt into the face of an incoming buckethead. "Rebel Yell! Secure the spaceport! Make sure all non-security personell are removed! Go!" he shouts into his comm, moving to dip behind some cover and prepare for the on-coming onslaught.

Pointing at the Stunned and down Maze, Kelnas growls "Stay down. Only warning." Pivoting, the Wroonian turns his attention on a reinforcing Trooper. the brass finding it;s way into vulnerable joints or cracking plates with concentrated impact.

Bar'duur slips from the hangar door to try and get over by a crate, angling his pistol at another one of the white-clad stormtroopers. "They are easy to pick out in a crowd at least!" Says the Zabrak tribal with a mild smirk, firing two well timed shots and plunking his target.

Ax is mortally wounded, laying there. Fortunately, plasma bolts tend to carterize the wounds or he'd have bled out quickly.

Sirus is still behind the crate for the whole thing and doing what he does best watching with a frown. He notes down everything going down in his little notebook and then he just watches them for a moment. He then looks as they take back off into the air.

Kadi is right by Ax's side, though she's not touching the wound for fear of accidentally making things worse. "Hang in there, Ax," she frets. She at least knows he's breathing, but that's not saying so much.

Noko Trenor watches the chrome trooper fall. His chin tilts up, head lolling back as his lips part slightly. Surprised, to say the least, as his eyes track the lightsaber and its wielder into the fray. He, however, stays back in the shipmaster's canopied office of crates and fixtures.

Moving around the edges of the conflict, Mae makes her way toward where she can spot Kadi. Spotting Kadi lets her know where to find Ax and the rest of the team, speaking quietly into her comm as she does so. "I'm on the way, just trying not to get shot by accident en route."

KT-3435 centers her gravity as she brings her Sonn-Blas F-11D blaster rifle to bear, preparing to fire!!

Kasia followed Kadi to the fallen Ax, crouching low with the other woman as fighting happens around them. "He'll be okay," she says, without any idea of whether or not it's true, but she sounds like at least she believes it.

    - Rax Vaelus has taken 68 points of wound damage. He is currently Dead.
    - Rax Vaelus has taken 8 points of stun damage. He is currently Dead.

Revenge isn't in Maze's book. The untrained might shoot Kelnas in the back as he turns his attention away, but KT-3435 targets the most dangerous person she had seen thus far - the one with the laser sword. She fires a shot from the ground before scrambling up and tossing her battered helmet to the side. When on her feet, she goes for Phasma and works at dragging her towards the transport.

Therous Caavuna continues to watch the fight with calm but flinching eyes, slowly making his way to one of the hangars to hide until the fighting stoppe, muddering to himself, "Live today, fight tomorrow."

Two Stormtroopers move quickly over to Rax's body, crouching down ready to fire at anyone who comes closer. Phasma finally comes around and spits out, "Get the Force User!" With that, another Stormtrooper drags Rax's body into the dropship with the other two covering him.

NSec Security forces have arrived, but are being ordered to stay back and observe. There's a line of about fifty security officers all standing near the entirance to the spiral rampway, all holding blaster rifles, all... watching.

Seeing the troopers in retreat, Maeve skids her way around to where Kadi and and another woman are crouched around Ax. "You called," she offers in a quiet voice as she takes a knee beside Ax and shares a nod with Kasia. "Someone remind Ax to stop being the big damn hero, ok?" she offers in a tone of voice that is faintly amused.

The blazing beam of blue energy sweeps upward for another attack when suddenly it's extinguished in a squealing hiss. The lightsaber hilt clatters to the ground, and Rax stands there, wide eyed. A matching hole for the front scores his back where Maze shot him, and Rax wobbles there, fighting to stay upright on willpower and adrenaline alone. His vision darkens, and his eyes widen further. Death.

"So...that's how...it ends..."

Rax falls to the ground, collapsing in a heap. Whatever else he may have had to say is lost as the light goes out of his eyes. And then his body is being dragged away...

Kael Greystorm watches the Stormtroopers starting to pull Rax back into the dropship and he reaches down to grab Ax by his collar and begin dragging him away from the battle keeping his blaster pistol leveled towards the troopers for now. Since Phasma went down and got back up after being shot by a bowcaster he wants nothing of that.

"woeieowl rwowoal. rwowoal rwowoal rwowoal." Kynaggha growls as Phasma gets up again, but more irritating than that, as stormtroopers start dragging off the Force User. She aims her bowcaster at one of the stormtroopers around Rax, but caution in not trying to catch him makes her shots not get too close. "wrall wrall!" Now she's really cranky.

As the call for air support comes across the coms, a TIE Fighter comes screaming out of the air toward the Starport. It races overhead of the First Order troops and soon its laser canons engage, blasting carnage across the surface of the landing pad and diving toward the civilians who would dare resist the might of the First Order.

People are being dragged back to the dropship, and among them is Phasma being dragged by Maze. She heaves with all she has to get her up the board ramp and to safety. At least they won't have to worry about anything else for the time being, so she goes about applying first aid.

Shortly after Phasma is dragged onto the dropship, Rax's unconcious body is dragged onto the ship and the door closes behind it. As the dropship lifts from the ground, Phasma turns on the comm, "Alpha Squadron, target the Trooper corpses and eliminate them, no point letting their equipment fall into their hands."

With the First Order forces withdrawing, Noko Trenor looks about ready to make scarce. He straightens out his overcoat, slides up right to the edge of the stacked crates he's been leaning against, and looks out into the starport; waiting for an opening. He slips back, though, for the wind shattering scream of the incoming TIE fighter sears the platform with its laser cannon. He stays in the concealment of the rotted canopy full of crates and listens to the parting shots of the battle.

Sar Yavok is thinking really, REALLY hard about taking on that squad of soldiers by himself, but the TIE sweeps in and cuts that plan short, leaving Sar just standing there with his rifle leveled at the soon-to-depart shuttle. His panting breaths finally catch up to him and his rifle drops to his side before he rears back and tosses it at the shuttle, screaming, "Goddamn it!" His arms slump to his sides as Rax is dragged into the shuttle and his gloved hand moves to wipe gross Stormtrooper blood from his face.

"Sar to Rebel Yell forces...assist the civilians...somebody see if you can track their jump vectors..."

Kadi looks at Kael and Maeve. "Tell me what you need me to do to help?" she says to the doctor. Though moving out of the starport is not the worst idea ever, given the tie fighter screaming death over the area.

"Well god damn...."Sirus mutters softly and then he steps out from the crate with a frown making his way over to Ax."God damn...."He stops looking at Maeva and the others around him."Do you need any help with him." He frowns now and just standing back letting the doctor work.

True to command, the TIE turns and starts to fire repeatedly into the fallen Stormtroopers. As laser blasts hammer in, crushing body to Starport decking, the bodies begin to explode. Armor caves, and then disintegrates in a shower of boiling blood that sprays anyone that draws too near. If anyone attempts to get close, they are mowed down too without mercy. Soon the blood of fallen Trooper and civilian alike runs in thick streams across the decking, bodies gone and damned to never receive their due burial rites.

Ax is down, barely alive and likely to be out for quite a while and in need of serious medical attention.

Zeltrons. Humans. Twi'leks. Being unconscious is great when you're Rax Vaelus. Being awake...not so much. If we were conscious, he would be amazed that he's still alive. But he's not. Mmm, Zeltrons.

Lofty the Talz fires a few more volleys at the fleeing drop ships. "First Order take person!" he says to Sar Yavok, pointing with a claw at the ships as they speed away. And then come the TIE fighters; Lofty squeals through his snout as they proceed to strafe the star port.

Noko Trenor pokes his head out until he sees that all is clear. He walks out, quiet of footstep and mute of voice as he looks about, eyes going to the people giving orders, remembering their faces. Unlike some of the other civilians, Trenor doesn't wade into the mess, he merely makes his assessment, gets a fix on key features, and starts to depart. He turns the neck of his overcoat up and keeps his head down, as he makes through the nearest starport exit like he'd never been there at all.
