Sarina Potter, "The Legacy of Terra" in route to Mirial
"Harry and Bo left for Dathomir aboard the Marauder, Mina is on a diplomatic mission in Kashyyyk while Satine is the empire's emissary in Shili, I am waiting for your signal to move in "The Light of Naboo" to Mirial" said Padme with her characteristic elegance and calm
Sarina nodded solemnly, feeling all the pressure of the Queen's words, it was Price and her against the pirate scum
"I will inform you as soon as it is safe to travel to Mirial, that the Lady's blessing is with you," Sarina said elegantly
Padme smiled, nodded softly, and said
"See you soon Sari," Padme said, as she cut the transmission, leaving Sarina alone with her thoughts in her personal cabin aboard her own battleship
The Legacy of Terra, a gift from her beloved Harold to her, a battleship, a custodian class destroyer, designed and built in Gaia Prime shipyards that would function as the capital ship of the First Fleet, while the Marauder would become a ship for Harry's exclusive use
And it was totally hers, Sarina thought incredulously, even though she had difficulty assimilating the changes in her life
From a simple slave to the commander of a galactic fleet, life took many turns
Leaving her cabin, Sarina walked elegantly on the bridge of her ship, observing the infinite void of hyperspace, in the systems of the ships, various officers performed the corresponding operations, mostly humans, zeltron and Twi'lek, the main races of Gaia Prime
Another small detail that had not gone unnoticed by Sarina, her beloved king had a predisposition to help humanoid races, while he seemed to have a certain contempt for less anthropomorphic races, such as the Hutt, the Toydarians or Nikto
"The angels are ready sister, as soon as we have an approach vector, we will fall with plasma and death towards our enemies," said Aayla, who was approaching discreetly from behind
Sarina did not turn around, she simply nodded, there were only a few minutes left to reach Mirial, the fleet was traveling in battle formation, they had the element of surprise on their side and Fleet Mistress did not want to give any ship a chance to escape
"Do we have news of New Sunna?" Sarina asked, making Ayla nod
"Yes, Layrol's latest report indicates that the little ones settled well, many are sad and miss their parents, but they are strong, they understand the sacrifice they made, to give them a new chance, the children continue to study the Ark, but they are totally focused on the astral gates" said Aayla, making Sarina nod
"Sixty seconds to arrive Fleet Mistress," an officer reported
"Shields to the maximum and hot weapons, let the delta battle group concentrate on opening a vector towards Mirial, we need Price and Aayla to reach land as soon as possible," Sarina ordered, as she walked to the command deck, where holograms were deployed, a huge amount of information in front of her eyes
And then, the fleet Mistress began to act, her privileged memory and tactical genius planning ten or fifteen moves in the fight, her fingers moving the interfaces quickly, just one moment to observe and another to reason
"Incursion of 120 degrees in relation to the axial axis of the planet, herds of frigates escorting pairs of destroyers, weapons of disruption, we will herd them like sheep to the moon of Mirial, where we can exterminate them without damaging the planet, combat mode" Sarina ordered, taking a seat on the throne of command
"Yes, Fleet Mistress," replied the entire bridge, the lights changing from a quiet white to a flashing emerald, while the plastiglass windows were covered by thick metal plates, protecting the bridge in the fight
"I will wait for your signal sister, may the blessing of the Lady and the Emperor be with you," Ayla said, making Sarina nod absently, totally focused on the next fight, and without a single word, she left the bridge
"Ten seconds," shouted an officer
“Are you ready? Children of Gaia Prime! Heirs of Terra! These dogs obey the disgusting grubs! They enslave and steal, sowing destruction and hatred in the galaxy, we are the will of the Emerald King! Let's rid the galaxy of these animals," Sarina shouted through all communication channels, making sure that the entire fleet heard her, just as the officer was reporting
“Emerging from Hyperspace”
And a second later, the infinite vortex disappeared, giving way to a vision that filled not only Sarina, but the entire fleet with fury
There were at least one hundred and fifty ships, with a familiar capital ship, that Sarina had seen before, but had never had the pleasure of destroying
A Hutt slave barge
Normally, those ships did not emerge from the space of the putrid Hutt, that one was here, on the outer rim and hunting slaves, was an indication that the efforts of B1T and Captain Dariana were bearing fruit
And this presented a great opportunity for Sarina
"Change of plans ladies and gentlemen, assign that barge as an alpha priority target, that Price and Aayla assign a squadron for boarding and capture, the rest of the fleet is fair game, let all the ships choose a target and shoot, they are with their pants down, so, happy hunting" said Sarina, while the officers shared the orders
An instant later, the fleet's particle cannons lit up space, crashing into the startled pirates, annihilating the largest ships first
The first wave had been devastating, particle cannons penetrated the hulls of pirate frigates like butter, and thirty ships of the enemy fleet had been incapacitated, some even destroyed
However, the Hutt barge had its shields activated, so although there was damage to its hull, it wasn't really significant
If she had been aboard the Marauder, the story would have been very different, however, she did not have her beloved King this time, it would all depend on her strategy
"Well, it will be a challenge," Sarina said with satisfaction, as she began to move the holographic projections
"Diamond formation, launch the disruption torpedoes, we will not allow these vermin to escape, that groups one and two focus their particle shots on the enemy frigates, prepare the fighters, that they do harassment work on the small ships," said Sarina, quickly mobilizing the approach vectors with his hands
“Orders shipped Fleet Mistress, what will be our role?” asked the officer
Sarina stood up, looking with hatred and a bloody smile at the Hutt barge and said
"Let's go hunting, prepare the bow guns for a skirmish at close range and take runic shields to the barge at maximum power, we will pierce any ship that stands in our way, so that our particle beams continue to punish the integrity of its hull."
With the orders, the ship began its advance toward the disorderly slave fleet, who, to Sarina's pleasure, were preparing to leave the system
"Disruptor torpedoes sent Fleet Mistress," the officer reported, as the white light trails traveled toward the enemy fleet under Sarina's watchful eye
"We have a vector towards New Hirona, the densest planetary complex in that hemisphere, we detected severe resistance on land, the data was transferred to General Price, who is preparing for the incursion," said the young human, causing the Twi'lek to nod with pleasure
"Excellent, send a message to Commander Secura, to prepare her angels for the boarding of the barge, and remember, these animals will not show you mercy, do not make that mistake," Sarina ordered
"Aye Fleet Mistress," they all said with determination
Mirial's blitz had begun
General Price, descend to Mirial
"It seems that we took them by surprise general, a Hutt barge is not seen every day," said Markwell, the banner bearer of the Emerald Lions as they watched the battle from the blankets
"These new armors are incredible, they make the Beskar of Concordia look like Garbage" said the imposing man, and Price did not hesitate to agree with him
"They are gifts from the joint effort between our king and the department of research and technological and arcane development," Price said, still remembering the first time he wore his new armor
Built with Sunnaion knowledge and perfected by King Harold himself, the powerful, heavy and somewhat crude armor, influenced by classic Mandalorian designs, made them living, fast, and lethal tanks
Perfect for hunting pirates
"Ten seconds, deploying the Lions on New Hirona, you will fall where the greatest concentration of enemy is," said the pilot, causing all the soldiers to nod, and put on their helmets
Price, prepared for the fight, looked at his boys and spoke
“Brothers, we are here to fulfill the will of the emperor, once, we were like Mirial, we suffer an injustice, people kidnapped and killed by those putrid beings, we are soldiers of Gaia Prime, heirs of the Holy Terra, we are the Emerald Lions!” shouted the general, generating a roar in the transport
"Contact," shouted the pilot as the gates of the manta opened, showing the desolate view of what was once a beautiful city
"FORE THE EMPEROR!" Price shouted, as he threw himself from more than twenty meters high, directly at the enemy pirates
And like the war lions they were, the soldiers followed the general, more than a thousand of them fell on the pirates in different parts of the city, while the sky was lit up with the explosions of battle
Price watched as he fell as thousands of the planet's inhabitants were treated like cattle and shipped in large cages, apparently the fleet had found them just in time
So, with great pleasure, Price landed with his boot on the niktos face with extreme pleasure, exploding his head as if it were a simple grape
Behind him, his soldiers did the same, all pointing their particle rifles at the terrified pirates, who seemed to have seen death
Although to be fair, they were not far from reality
"In the name of Emperor Harold Potter, you are ordered to die, slaver scum!” shouted the general, as he fired the first shot, piercing the head of a terrified corsair, killing him on the spot
After that moment, pandemonium was unleashed, the attack had taken the pirates by surprise and they were totally disorganized
But... Price noticed something strange
There were too many of them, and there were two types of enemies
The Nikto pirates, good marksmen, but physically weak, who commanded strange beings of great size, clad in white armor of unknown design
There was no armor like it in the entire galaxy, Price knew them all
The warriors in white were strong and agile, and in their old armor, they would have posed a challenge to Price and his lions
However, with the new combat skins, they had nothing to do, even these formidable warriors were nothing more than cannon fodder, Price finished off one with a single kick, while the rest of the boys secured the area, the niktos tried, unsuccessfully, to escape
“FREE THE HOUNDS!!” Price shouted, and at that order, huge packs of Wolf-designated tactical droids were launched from the manta’s bays
In an instant, the hunters became prey, and chaos and terror reigned in the city, Price looked at his men and spoke
"Exterminate them all, Markwell with me, we will free the prisoners," ordered the old man
"Aye, general," they all said, as they divided to carry out the orders, in the city, the noises of fighting were less and less, while communications began to gain life, informing of the annihilation of the enemies and the liberation of civilians
Price and Markwell reached the imposing cages, filled with hundreds of inhabitants, who looked at them with uncertainty and absolute terror
Something understandable in Price's opinion, with his new armor he easily measured two meters and the thick metal made him look like a living tank, so he calmly began to break the doors of the cages, using the power of his new suit and as soon as he finished, he took off his helmet, leaving his face in full view of the terrified prisoners
When they saw him, everyone calmed down a little, although they were still quite tense
"I am General Price, in the service of Emperor Harold Potter, ruler of Gaia Prime, you are safe," said the man, as he moved away from the door, the area was safe, so there was no danger
"Don't worry, we're here to help, we'll set up a temporary camp until we get in touch with whoever is in charge," Price said, looking around curiously
According to the data, this city was one of the most important on the planet, and it looked like a city that was one of the... desolate, she had seen larger villages on Tatooine before her king unified her
"I thought the city would be bigger," Markwell said, as he piled the enemy bodies away from the civilians
And at those words, a Mirillian woman intervened
"The city is bigger, but much of it is underground, we live off mining and trade, without a considerable presence on the surface, a disadvantage that the Niktos have taken advantage of throughout history," said the mature woman with bitterness and resignation, while several civilians nodded behind them
"Our government is weak and remains divided by the interests of a few, they cannot agree on a proper planetary defense," snapped another young woman, who was carrying her baby in her arms, her face was full of anguish, but also relief that the pirates were dead
Price nodded and opened his mouth, ready to answer, as his communicator came to life
"General, you have to see this," said one of his captains, as he received a packet of data
Apparently, the boys had begun to analyze the corpses of the pirates, finding something worrying and alarming in them
"Everything in general order?" Markwell asked, noticing Price's expression
Without answering, the prince of Mandalore walked towards the pile of bodies and with ease and urgency, took one of the bodies of white armor, snatching the helmet instantly, showing the deformed face of a Gamorreans, nothing strange about that
However, Price took another body, finding the same being, with the same scars and facial damage
And another, and then another, and yet another
All the warriors in white were the same, totally the same
They were clones!
"This is impossible, how can fucking pirates afford an army of clones?" said his captain
"They can't," Price said, as he looked up at the sky, he had to pacify the city as fast as he could, there was no way a species as pathetic as the Niktos, or even the Hutts could afford a clone army on their own
He had to talk to his king and quick, something else was going on here, and he didn't like it at all
Price put on his helmet again and readied his rifle, the fighting was not over, not yet, and the faster he regained the city, the faster he could communicate what had happened to his king
"To all units, we will set up a refugee camp in my position, let all civilians head towards my location," Price ordered, while activating a radio beacon
"They'll be safe here, Markwell, let's go," he ordered and turned around, ready to leave
However, the former prisoners stepped forward, utterly terrified
“Hold on!! Will you leave just like this? Don't leave us alone, please," said an anguished girl, who looked at them with the most heartbreaking of despair
Price hesitated, and looking at Markwell ordered
"I will stay to set up camp, find our brothers and secure the city, we stay in contact," said the general, causing the captain to nod, salute and begin to run towards where there was still fighting
Seeing that the imposing warrior would not leave them to their fate, the former prisoners looked quite relieved, as they looked at the destruction with resignation and sadness
"These, these were our homes, and they are destroyed, we are doomed" said a man between furious and resigned
"Gaia Prime will offer humanitarian aid to your planet for the incursion, as we speak, the fleet Mistress is destroying the pirate fleet, you have nothing to fear," Price said, thinking they were referring to the pirate attack
However, the words they said next baffled Price
"I'm more worried about the government that the pirates," said a young woman cautiously, causing the rest to nod absently
Price frowned at the curious reaction, but he would get to the bottom of it, one way or another
The general did not know that repelling the invasion would be the easiest part of the job and that the real challenge was just approaching
Dealing with Mirial's stubborn, inefficient and frankly stupid government
Harold Potter, Dathomir
"We're here," Bo said, dressed in the provocative and outrageous robes she wore regularly for Harold
They had spent the entire trip locked in their quarters, Bo lost count of the times she had been ridden, but there came a point where she didn't bother to get dressed again
Alas, good things must to come to an end
They had arrived to Dathomir, following the trail of the abomination they found in Concordia
"Get a shuttle ready, it's time to go down," Harold ordered, as he began to get dressed
"As you order" Bo said, at the same time Harry began to give orders on his communicator
"Is your new armor ready?" asked Harold, causing Bo to smile and nod quickly
"Perfect, put it on and get ready, we're going down to hell," Harry said, staring blankly at the surface of the planet
"By your order my love” Bo said, as she ran to obey her owner's orders, leaving Harry totally alone, looking at the imposing and curious planet
"What secrets are you hiding?" he asked
Little did the emerald king know of the surreal, terrifying, pleasurable experience that awaited him as soon as he landed
It would be... Totally unforgettable
