58 Tulpaas Forge (2/2)
Staring at the rewards though, he noticed that not only did he get the girl, but he also got the packages that were promised? He stared into space for a few moments before walking over to the comlink attached to a wall beside the door.
On top of this, it seemed he also got something else if he were to destroy the other forge as well. The idea of getting Tash was nice, it would be another force sensitive, but what bugged him was this one was devoid of memories. Did this mean she was going to have a dull personality? Events and environmental noise is what shapes a person.
However this also meant that he would have additional cloning material later on. It started to sound like an even more appealing idea.
Maddie followed him curiously, she saw the change in his demeanor almost immediately. ”You're not going to keep it now?” She asked curiously, wondering why he suddenly changed his mind. Was he going to get something out of destroying the stations, or was he not up for the risk of being corrupted.
”Riané, do you have the target locked?” There was a short pause before she acknowledged.
”Yes, Master. The Silencer is still charging. It'll be about fifteen minutes,” She replied with a nod before tilting her head to the side. ”Didn't you originally want to keep it?”
Letting out a soft sigh, he had just been questioned by both of the girls whom were close to him. At least Vaylin wasn't there to question him too. He almost whined at the thought of everyone asking him questions.
”Change of plans. It's too dangerous, we gain more should we destroy them. Plus, I don't think it'll be healthy for the star.” He pointed out something which was dreadfully clear. The Star Forge was called a Star Forge because it used the Star's energy as fuel and substance to create massive ships and droid armies.
”Understood Master, standing by.”
Maddie stared at the back of his head. She couldn't wrap her head around it. Even if it was to feed off of the star, it wasn't like the star would go supernova all of a sudden, would it? She glanced over towards the structure which was on top of the massive lump of burning atoms and energy.
Like a swarm of locusts thousands of starfighters poured down upon the massive vessel. TIE predators went out to great them and once the hangars were all but empty, they closed their blast doors to keep the enemies from landing within.
Droid manned hostile fighters pulled suicide runs filled with explosives into the hull. Yet there was barely even a scratch. The ion cannon turrets immobilized starfighters, while Megamaser batteries ripped them apart.
The battle was entirely one sided and if it hadn't been for the Crystalline Armor of the vessel, there would have been no way of getting close to this star forge. If anything, without it they would have already perished once their shields were down. But their shields weren't going down either, being powered by the Star Core Mk II.
Within fifteen minutes all the predators outside have probably been destroyed, as well as the droid pilots which had been flying them. However at the same time the massive vessel had squashed more than three quarters of the fighters sent out to intercept it.
The death toll was still climbing for the Rakatan remnants of the Tulpaa Tribe.
”Firing,” Riané shouted out over the loudspeakers. A blue beam was let out from the vessel, from directly above the central hangar.
The Warrior Priest only had enough time to curse before the entire Forge began to explode. Its systems all failing at once as power had been cut from the destruction. A clear hole remained where the megalaser had hit, splitting the station in half and causing it to be sucked down into the sun's surface.
That wasn't all as the continuous beam destroyed the viewing platform as it crumbled into the star. The Rakatan warrior priest was now dead, the Talpuu Tribe was now leaderless. The massive vessel began to turn towards the planet as the remaining fighter crafts were going towards it.
They were all retreating, fear could easily be sensed from them. Were they going to be blasted to bits too? However the weapons of the Imperious all stopped firing as it made its way towards the planet of Talpuu.
The planet itself was almost a mirror image to the planet of Lehon. It had been terraformed into that of a Tropical World. It was a virtual paradise with massive grass plain continents and islands dotting the surface.
They sent out a general order to the remnants of the Rakatan Tribe on the world, Surrender or be Exterminated. At the same time they invited the slaves to join them, the surviving force hounds as well.
When the Rakata species refused to surrender their sovereignty, their slaves revolted. The Force Hounds turned on their masters. It was a momentary civil war amongst the people of the planet. Ones who wanted to survive and those who simply wanted to die with power in their greedy little hands.
Many of the Rakata Descendants died fighting their own slaves which outnumbered them ten to one. They were quickly beaten down by the beasts they kept, especially those of the Wookie race.
The Imperious loomed above the world, listening on as the world became more tranquil. The people's populace had been freed from their oppression. Slave soldiers were no longer forced to fight for their dark prejudice masters.
It was an end to slavery, but it was only the beginning of the War, a beginning of an Empire.
