The Clone Rebellion

A Broken Man

Onxy stood in the hangar of the Voyage, this was his first command. He was tasked with securing a small operating base to prepare for their attack on Rothana. Most his men along with himself were rather inexperienced in war, the Clone Wars ended just a couple months after Onxy's deployment in the 212th Attack Battalion. He'd been stationed on a recently captured planet so he saw now action outside of some small protest.

To his left was a trooper named Geo, he wore a constants buzz cut & had a small scar on his lip from a near incident with a vibro knife. Geo was promoted to captain & served as Onxy's right hand man as needed. Geo hadn't seen any combat, he'd just been promoted from cadet to a trooper before order 66 went through the GAR.

On his right was Lieutenant Gorge, he kept the standard clone haircut but had seen a decent amount of combat. Serving as a former member of the 41st, Gorge served as a standard trooper giving him the most experience out of the three officers yet he declined to position to be a Commander or Captain & instead chose to serve as a Lieutenant.

Onxy didn't fully understand his choice but if Rex agreed with it then that was good enough for him. The maintenance crew that had joined them was doing inspections on the LAATs making sure they were ready for deployment onto Molovar while the pilots gathered around discussing something pilot related most likely. Troopers were scattered through the ship, their time being spent to pass the time as they waited to arrive.

Taking his leave Onxy began making his way towards the bridge only to notice that Gorge was following him. They'd already been in hyperspace for atleast an hour or so. Entering the bridge of the Voyage, a clone naval officer stood looking at a holotable.

"Admiral Dawn, how soon will we be arriving?" Onxy asked.

The admirals eyes never even left the table as he he held up a finger. A few moments after he'd done that the Voyage had exited hyperspace. Onxy chuckled slightly though before he could speak was interrupted as sirens sounded.

"Sir! One Consular C70 Cruiser is approaching with fighters & bombers."

"Full power to shield & weapons." Dawn ordered.

By the looks of it a little over a squadron of ARC-170s & a little over two squadrons of Y-Wings were on rapid approach.

"Shouldn't we see if they're friendly first?" Onxy asked.

Almost immediately the ARC-170s fired on the Voyage. Their weapons straining the shields but did little to the ship itself. With a look from Dawn, Onxy quietly stepped back letting Dawn have the reigns.

"All batteries fire on those bombers." Dawn ordered.

The Voyage's weapons flared to life as they began firing at the approaching bombers. Immediately one of the bombers erupted into flames as a shot from the Voyage struck its side. The Voyage continued to fire, its weapons rocking the ship & filling the empty space with a green glow.

"Sir, the Consulars is moving in for an attack."

"All forward guns focus fire on the Consular. Keep the side guns focused on those bombers." Dawn ordered.

Determined to survive the Voyage fired everything it had. Its heavier weapons tearing apart the Consular, the bridge of the ship combusting in a ball of flame. Though before the kill could be celebrated the Voyage was rocked by multiple explosions. A group of bombers had destroyed the engines as another run hit the middle of the ship.

"Sir, the engines are gone & we've been caught in the planets gravity."

"Get the hangars open & launch the gunships. Everyone else get to the escape pods." Dawn ordered.
