Cinder quickly punched in the Imperial verification code that he had been given by the Imperial General that had hired him to make sure that no complications arose during the battle. After verifying that the code was good, and giving the name of his ship as The Ghost, he set the auto pilot to land the Firespray on a ridge not to far from the fighting.
He then left the cockpit and went to the small on board armory. After putting his helmet on and checking that all the functions were working properly he put on his jet pack, securing his double bladed lightsaber between it and his back. It was easy to get to, but could not be seen. He holstered his blaster pistol, and grabbed his blaster rifle as the ship landed heavily.
The boarding ramp quickly lowered with a voice command to his helmet. He walked down the ramp to the burnt grass of the ridge, giving his helmet another voice command this time causing the boarding ramp to close. He looked down at the battle taking place below him, the HUD of his helmet zooming in on the Jedi. "I wasn't paid enough for this."

Sulk saw the ship wreckage behind him, and ignored the Jedi as he ran over.
"Sir...are you ok?" Sulk said, as he took a knee next to the other Field Commander...

)(O well, Ill go ahead and post. Im boarding the main cruiser over Kashyyk.)(
Bourne walked dingingly toward the shoreline, lightsaber drawn. Soon many Imperial ships began to descend onto the water and Into the sky. It was like a mass invasion.
Bourne retracted his lightsaber and dissappeared behind the foliage and forest. As sad as it was, Bourn
Many wookies were scattered and retreating, their commander began talking with Bourne about letting up and leaving Kashyyck, Bourne agreed and they seperated.
Bourne breifly sensed a bounty hunter with a basic knowledge of the force. His presence was meaningless to Bourne. Of course was taught to pick his battles and this threat was meaningless, below his level.
Hour Later
Bourne sat behind a cargo hold on board the Imperial Cruiser; he had boarded the ship while pioneering a loading dock. He sat silent and aware of his surroundings.

The battle was beginning to let up. The Stormtrooper battalions were advancing up the hill, and even past the wooden wall. There were no Wookies on the beach. They had abandoned their turrets to retreat back into the forest. Jonas could still hear a few of them roaring with what seemed to be anger, but it wouldn't be hard to pick off one or two of them. When Jonas first realized he was on the beach, where a huge battle was taking place, he was terrified. They didn't teach the space commanders anything about ground combat at the academy. All they taught him was how to fire a basic blaster in case the ship was boarded. Of course, the battle was close to ending when the Field Commander woke him up, and the Jedi had apparently retreated, but he still felt a little uncomfortable on the beach. What if the Wookies counterattacked? What if this was all just a trap set up by the Rebellion?
"Sir..." A familiar voice behind Jonas asked. It was the voice of the Field Commander, "...Admiral Tommkin wants all commanders to prepare their ships to leave the planet. Something big is going on, I think."
Jonas was standing on top of a large rock sticking out of the sand, watching the Imperial troops march into the Wookie outpost. A few of them were starting to march out now, indicating the stronghold was clear.
"Call a carrier to come pick me up. Tell them to get here as soon as possible. I don't want to be here if some more of those...beasts show up." Jonas responded.
Even though Jonas wasn't looking in his direction. Fib gave him a salute, and walked off to order a carrier. While Jonas was scanning the beach, he spotted the Stormtrooper from before. The one wearing black armor. The trooper had asked him if he was OK earlier, but Jonas just ignored him. He figured the man at least deserved to be told what was going on. He jumped off the rather tall rock, and approached him.
"Attention!" Jonas barked at the trooper, "Soldier, I'm not sure what your name is, and I don't really care. Admiral Tommkin has ordered us to board the fleet ships immediately. I have a carrier coming for me. I suggest you find one as well."

Sulk made a angry face behind his helmet after being barked at. He wasn't used to people giving HIM orders, at least not for awhile.
"Sir no offense, but my first duty is to these men and my second is protecting people above me in the ranks like you. So sir...I'm going with you." Sulk said as he removed his helmet and holstered his rifle...

Jonas rolled his eyes. This was just what he needed. A couple of Stormtroopers wearing bulky armor taking up all the room in the back of the carrier. Oh well, Jonas could just sit up front, away from them.
"Fine. The carrier should be here soon. Gather your men and prepare for take off." Jonas told the soldier.

"Sir most, well all of my platoon is dead...damn Jedi." Sulk shrugged as he examined the man with his eyes.
He wasn't actually positive if all of them were dead, but he didn't see any of them...

He engaged the boosters on his jet pack as the HUD of his helmet zoomed in on a lone stormtrooper and an officer that were not to far away from the ridge he was on. With a practiced ease he piloted the jet pack down to the shoreline, landing lightly on his feet twenty feet away from the stormtrooper and the officer. He wanted information about the Jedi and where he might have gone. The officer was about the only one on the shoreline that might know. He kept his blaster rifle lowered, but still ready to fire if needed, as he walked to within ten feet of the stormtrooper and the officer. "What information do you have on the Jedi that just attacked you?"

Jonas cursed the Jedi Knight under his breath when he learned the outlaw had slaughtered an entire platoon of Stormtroopers.
"There's no Force. Nothing but pure luck." Jonas said, anger obvious in his voice.
He was about to turn around to go find out where his carrier ship was, when someone said, "What information do you have on the Jedi that just attacked you?"
Jonas looked to find who it was, and he spotted something he'd only seen before in those holographic images at the library on Coruscant; a Mandalorian. Jonas smiled, put his hands together behind his back, and started slowly approaching the Mandalorian.
"My, my, what a surprise. A Mandalorian bounty hunter. I thought your race died out on Dxun four-thousand years ago. Judging by equipment you have with you..."
Jonas was now walking around the Mandalorian in wide circles.
"...you're here for that Jedi's blood. I don't know anything about him, but if he's not out here, he most likely retreated into the forest with the Wookies."
Jonas stopped walking for a moment, looked up into the sky, and spotted an Imperial carrier about to land on the beach.
"Good luck with killing him." Jonas told the Mandalorian.
After saying that, he began walking away from him and towards the ship.

Sulk examined the Manalorian for a moment before following Jonas. He watched as the doors to the ship open and walked onto the ship. He tossed his helmet onto a bench, and sat down in a chair near the cockpit.
"Where to sir?" Sulk said as he crossed his arms...

He sighed heavily before he gave his helmet a command for the auto pilot to bring the ship to him. On the ridge the Firespray's engines ignited as it started to hover, not switching to flight mode as it came down. He spoke another command to his helmet causing the landing ramp to lower, he fired the boosters of his jet pack as the ship came close enough. He flew up and landed lightly on the ramp before cutting his jet pack off and entering, the ramp closing behind him with a command.
The ship hovered while he stored his gear, and checked his helmet's HUD link to the ship to see if there had been any ships leave the planet. He had felt the Jedi's force signature grow distant to quickly for him to have retreated into the forest, and here was the proof on his HUD. He quickly made his way to the cockpit, and strapped himself in before going into flight mode. He left the planet without a second glance, glade that he had been paid before hand, following the Jedi's ship would be easy for his Firespray.

Bourne sat behind the carriers cargo hold, ontop of a metal steel box. He could sense a small force signature emitting from the following ships. He honed his force and looked for the signature again, Bounty Hunter.
Bourne was sure he wasnt a Jedi and wasnt a Sith, he was a Bounty Hunter. This made Bourne feel easier, he had killed Sith Lords in the past and a bounty hunter was the least of his worries. The ship he was on was a simple carrier ship for troops. He wondered where he was going.

"Weren't you listening? We're going back to my ship, the Speedrunner. What happens after that is whatever Tommkin chooses." Jonas explained.
When they both climbed inside the carrier, he could feel it lift off, balance itself in the sky, then start flying forward into the sky. Jonas wondered of that bounty hunter was going to be able to take on that Jedi all by himself. It didn't matter. One Jedi wasn't enough to stop the Empire, no matter how powerful he was.

"Ah, well good. I am glad to get off that filthy wookie infested planet." Sulk said as he sat in his chair, and watched them begin to enter space.
He rubbed his eyes for a moment before sinking lower into the chair. He had almost been a day without sleep, and he was no longer in a battle so was starting to feel it...
