(cw)Preparing for War(open)

[dain]

Dain walked through Hoth station, with three body guards who carried sonic pistols. He was patrolling the halls, it was early in the day and everyone was supposed to be at their posts. He'd given Hoth a vote on whether or not to enter the war, and almost everyone had voted to go ahead with the war effort after the Sith's random appearance on the station.

Unfortunately for the Sith though, their appearance hadn't motivated Hoth into working for them , but had motivated them to work with the republic to find a way to defeat the sith. Dain stepped into a elevator and waited for the body guards to follow before pressing a button that would bring them down to the shipyards. The shipyards had been increased in size, they were tremendous now. With dozens of new ships under construction. Hoth was preparing to show the galaxy that it could make a huge difference in the galaxy apart from making other peoples ships, and being one of the most barren planets in the galaxy.

The elevator opened and he walked out into the viewing deck of the shipyards, he was inches away from the glass, which was all the stood between him, and space.

He looked up, straight into the underbelly of one of the unfinished ships, the place looked like a ship graveyard, with half finished ships scattered throughout the shipyards, the only difference was that these were being built, not taken apart.

But the fleet was only one object that would allow them to crush their enemies. The other was the force, and how reliant the sith and jedi, were on it. The ysalmiri that was in the shipyards created a force bubble, that would neutralize all negative and positive use of the force inside it. This was the real weapon, with on of these living in most of the ships, the sith would be helpless in attacking... And it was his duty to make sure that the animals were treated properly, they did, after all, take them away from their home planet for use in a war.

Dain looked around at the newest addition to the station. It was a factory that assembled the ground based vehicles. Unlike most other planets, they wouldn't be using hovering hovering speeders. They'd be relying on the very old and primitive wheel drive system, it was just easier to use on terrain, more grip and control.

((with a huge reference to the warthog from halo))

The vehicles had a mounted repeater attached to the back, and allowed up to three people to man the vehicle. Not to mention, because it was so primitive, it costs next to nothing.

He looked over at one of the factory employees. "How long 'till we can get these loaded onto the ships?"

"Uh, these things are so easy to make, we could have hundreds by tomorrow."

"good, load up each ship with as many as you can." He looked over at the massive machines, pounding away at the metal, and melting other pieces together. All they lacked now, was a way of getting them down to the surface...and Dain thought he had just the idea.

He recalled his plan, of putting each vehicle in reinforced heat resistant materials, putting crash webbing on all the seats, and simply dropping them all from orbit. It makes the dropship problem a lot easier, plus once they finish they're engagement, the ships could just land and pick them up. He's have to think about getting that approved.

[Cin Drallig]

Cin came out of hyperspace above the giant snowball planet, Hoth. "Well R2-D8. I need you to find the base for me." Cin said. "It just figures that I get stuck investigating the cold planet. Ah well. At least I have some time away from the Temple." Then a series of beeps emanated from the droid which translated into, "The base is about a standard hour from our location."

"Thanks R2." Cin said before activating his thrusters and starting off toward the base.

[dain]

((as Cin approached the station, or any of the ships, he would feel the effects of the ysalmiri's))

Dain picked the comm unit out of his pocket as it started beeping. "Hello, what's up?"

He listened to the reply over the comm unit: "Sir, scanners show a ship that just jumped out of hyperspace, should I patch you through?"

He sighed, ever since they'd declared war, the officers had been jumpy about everyone who passed through the system, but it was better to be safe than sorry. " Yeah, you'd better, just to be sure."

He waited for the line to be transfered over. "Hello? This is Dain, current leader of the Hoth system, please state your intentions."
He left the message short, not knowing exactly what else to say

[Cin Drallig]

ooc: oh ok

Bic: Cin heard the message then activated his comnlink and said, "Greetings, I am Jedi Master Cin Drallig. I have come to take a look at the operations on your planet. Being an ally of the republic now we like to be sure our allies are doing well." He was about thirty standard minutes away. Suddenly Cin felt a strange absense of the Force nearby. "That's strange." he said to himself.

[dain]

"your welcome aboard the station, providing you arn't as hostile as the last Jedi who showed up in the area. Choose whichever hanger you want to land it, just don't cause any trouble." Dain made sure to get the point across that he wanted no trouble with whatever went on, especially after the last incident with the Jedi that attacked the station over the jedi loosing credits

[Cin Drallig]

"Of course. I intend to keep this mission as peaceful and diplomatic as possible." Cin said through the comnlink, he was now about five minutes away from the base. "Actually Dain. Which Jedi would you be speaking of?" he asked as the R2-D8 sent a message, informing Hangar Bay 4 that they would be landing there.

[dain]

Dain his the switch on the comm unit, and replied: "I wouldn't know the Jedi's name, he never revealed it. Although he claimed to be part of the Jedi order, he said he was here for credits that someone had "stolen" from him. But I thought Jedi didn't keep personal credits?"

He leaned back after he had finished talking. He really hoped that the Jedi wouldn't cause as much problems as the last one did, although, it wouldn't matter as much seeing how the Jedi wouldn't be able to sue the force while on most of the ships, or station. Dain hoped his Anti sith weapon, wouldn't have to be anti jedi...

[Cin Drallig]

"That is strange." Cin said through the comnlink. By then he had arrived at the hangar bay and flew into hangar bay four. Cin soon landed and hopped out of his Jedi Starfighter and landed neatly on the ground. 'Yet another strange occurrence, there is a strange absence of the Force here.

[dain]

Dain stood up from his chair in the command room, he gave a quick look around and then headed for the door. He thought he'd meet the jedi as he made his way to the shipyards. As a last thought he gave an order "Keep the security cameras on him, if he does something to disturb the peace, kick him off the station." After he said this, he walked through the door. He had to admit that this jedi seemed to be much more reasonable than the last. Perhaps the last one had been a fake. Dain shrugged and continued walking through the corridors to the shipyard

[Cin Drallig]

Cin stood by his ship under the impression that someone would be there to meet him. "I suppose I would find it rude if someone just waltzed into the Temple without being invited in." he said as he tried to buff out a scratch on his ship.

[dain]

Dain waited at the shipyards, staring out a the massive metal rigs being constructed. It wouldn't be long now before Hoth would have a reasonable military force, although even then, these ships would continue wartime production.

Dain wasn't exactly used to being diplomatic, and hadn't even thought about sending someone to greet the jedi. It still didn't cross his mind while he waited for the jedi here, staring out the viewports.

[Cin Drallig]

Cin stood there for another moment waiting for some sort of greeting. He then thought, 'I could always probe his mind. No. No. That would be unethical. I'll just explore the base.' Cin then walked through the doors into the main part of the base. He decided that he should examine the strange absense of the Force and began walking toward where the disturbance was coming from.

'Strange that someone wasn't there to greet me.' he thought.
