Nights Dagger (closed Challenge to Khendon)

[Lord Gue]

OOC:
<H3>Blood Fighter</H3>
Ship platform:
heavily modified Corellian YV-666 Light freighter
Engines:
two Surronian A2 grade Ion engines (faster than an X-Wing, speeds at 1,150 kph)
Weaponry
two proton torpedo lauchers
1 quad laser canon
1 power core slaved ion canon
Special:
all weaponry rotates around the ships held in place with intensor fields which are loacted all over the hull
power core:
modified SFS I-S3a reactor
Navigation:
IDT navigation and advanced electronic controls
Armor:
slightly upgraded Y-Wing sheild generators
B-wing class armor plating
This design allows for a ship to be greatly manuverable thanks to an expanded reactor that feeds more power to the engines. This is due to IDT's "dual ionization" technology which is in essence two reactors in one, this draws the max possible energy, running near 100% all the time. The weapons can freely float anywhere thanks to intensor fields which guide the weapons around the hull. The weapons can be manually controlled via a head display, or targets can be assigned to the internal weapons computer. Maximum torpedo hold is six. The biggets punch from the ship comes from the Ion cannon, charging up the cannon takes 10 seconds, this draws 85% of the power from the reactor. Everything is shut down except for navigation and weapons. During these brief 10 seconds the ship is with minimal contol power, though the ship's direction can still be adjusted. The Ion cannon is capable of engaging smaller vessels such as Corellian Corvettes, or Imperial Lamda shuttles without hesitation. The laser cannons can also be charged, but are set at a power consumptio of 3%. The ship is cubish, not a perfect square, the base ship has been shortened. The cockpit wraps around the top front of the ship giving you a 215 degree view from your seat. the power core is located at the bottom of the ship (it is two decks). The elimination of wings gives great space. With the width enhanced, there is space behind the cockpit for whatever you choose, either personal living quater, storage, prisons , or space for future upgrades to the ship (i.e. bigger and better engines, ect.). The sheild take a good beating from fighters, and last a decent amount of time against larger ships. Armor plating will protect from light cannons and blaster cannons. Large mounted guns will penetrate (but then again, they penetrate any space faring vessel).
Here is a mapping of power output:
Engines - 35%
Sheilds - 50%
Nav/Weapons computer - 5%
Life support - 2%
Laser canons - 3% (minimum) - 25% (partial systems shutdown)
Ion Cannon - 0% (uncharged) - 85% (fully charged)
Advanced system control specs- The computer that control your ship diverts power from unused places to those where it is needed. If something is unused it is added to whatever you preselct the order of where the power goes to is. You can always change power mapping during battle to divert power to where you need it.

[I]The fighter rounded the moon to its pre-determined destination. This was a duel of competing technology, and true Gue's was older and maybe a bit behind the times, Khendons still followed the same basic precepts that Gues did, which would make for an interesting display. The pilot doned his helmet, activating the sensors and targeting computers.

IC:
A brilliant, translucent tear formed in outer space as a sleek, black fighter emerged from hyperspace, gold dust falling from the wings as the negative matter lining was released from its bonds. The craft lacked transparasteel, in fact, it lacked any signs of optical systems. The entire hull was clean cut, lacking any bumps or color variations. The engines did not generate a wash or change the surrounding heat, rather, they were just open slits surrounded by maneuvering veins. Underneath the main wings bristled an array of pods, including three hard points, which were now filled.

The craft angled towards the destination laid in by the advanced computer system’s, which had a constant communication link to all of the Galactic Empire’s facilities. Khendon knew, not saw, exactly where Gue was as he thought his craft towards it. The four gattlings sprouted from their pods, energized and ready as Khendon hit the afterburner to close the distance.

[Lord Gue]

"Well, might as well start this..."
[I]He looked up at the oncoming fighter through his helmet, a quick targeting symbol blinked over it as the fighters computer made a quick log of the ships outline, and kept a target lock to it at all times.
The E3 Was speeding down on the Blood at incredable speeds, faster than the Blood itself could go, but not by much. The pilot quickly sent the vessel carening down as the ships weapons kept steady to the E3. Sliding his fingers over the power console increasing the laser cannons power up from 3% to 7%, as well as sheild power from 50% to 60%. This power coming mostly from life support systems.
As it gained speed it quickly looped back around to come head to head with the E3, its weapons mounts turning back in to be directed at the other fighter.

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon’s motionless body lay deep within the craft, completely surrounded by a negative matter lined casing that protected the pilot during any maneuver while not taking up as much space as a conventional cockpit. The cockpit wasn’t lit, just pitch black. Pilots had to go threw strenuous training to be accepted into the TIE/E3 project, and had to survive a delicate surgery, which implanted a micro-processor into the brain of the pilot, protecting them from overload due to the mass amount of data that streams from the advanced computer systems.

The TIE/E3 reached optimal fire range with the Blood and the computer auto calculated the proper firing mechanism and alignments as Khendon thought fire and the systems responded before he could even truly think it.

The four small gattlings erupted in brilliant orange fire, unending streams of fire being unleashed upon the Blood in an almost random pattern, but it was truly calculated. The plasma lined energy closed on the blood in a staggered and dispersed pattern, a cone of fire that would, if the Blood didn’t maneuver properly in the split second it had, collide with every inch of shielding.

Two normal Ion Torpedoes, one set for proximity and the other for direct hit, launched from within the multi-purpose launcher under the belly of the E3 and Khendon banked sharply and rolled gaining distance from the soon to be massive explosion.

[Lord Gue]

[I]The Blood rolled immediatly to the side, its own weaponsfollowing the E3 over the fighters arc and opened fire back. Its targeting mechanisms aiming firectly at the pods under the front of the ship. The double powered lasers would create quite a blow if they hit, and they would if the E3 didnt move.
Behind the Pilot air seals formed as the chamber behind him opened to space, its contents dumped and the hull resealed. The Blood took a straight course away from the debries as one of the torpedoes, smashed into the debries. Its detonation rocking both vessels, but cuasing no damage to either. milliseconds after the first explosion the proximity torpedoe was set of by the first ones explosion. The combined force set the Blood flying even faster as its design was that of a rounded square, enabling it to take the brunt of the blast and use it to propell itself. Spining itself in midstride it opened fire again, this time luanching a photon torpedoe of its own as it followed it down to the E3..

[Khendon Sevon]

The TIE Executioner Mark Three rolled on its belly and dodged the fire easily, the advanced tracking systems calculating course corrections as soon as the fire was launched and performing them split seconds before impact, enabling the least amount of movement, keeping the ship fairly steady. The AMFS fired as soon as the Blood released its photon torpedo, colliding with it fairly close to the Blood itself, washing it with energy, weakening the shields of Gue’s craft slightly.

The E3 aligned itself with Gue’s craft, no longer moving forwards, but using momentum and maneuvering systems to allow the craft to point away from the direction it was moving. Khendon let loose a long burst of scattered energy, trying to generate a wall that would make maneuvering without being hit by a few of the powerful beams hard. As this went on, and Gue maneuvered away, magically, Khendon’s craft lined with negative matter and did a micro-jump, bringing it right next to Gue’s craft as the Mini-DOC released its charge, sending a high-powered static electrical blast in all directions away from the E3, colliding with the Blood and seeping into its systems as Khendon fired his gattlings point blank, activating his ALF shielding to provide protection as his system began to activate another mini-jump to bring him away from the Blood, for he would surely be fired upon soon.

[Lord Gue]

[I]Noted, that anti missle tech would be hard to break, but it would have to be done eventually. Halted for a second as the static energy washed through his ship, he twisted a switch and turned back towards the rear of the vessel. The ship powered down ever so greatly, the power that remained being directed elsewhere as he glanced at the escaping ship again, this time both luanchers fired upon him, as the distance between both ships was null it would be suicidal to try and stop them now. just as the torps would have impacted with the ship a large white burst luanched from the Bloods main cannon, if all went smoothly the Torps would knock out these strange shields and allow the ion blast to do its job...

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon would have cursed if he could, but he could not. Rather than attempt to maneuver out of the way, which was fully impossible, Khendon commanded the ship to do something else. The sleek craft blinked out of the way of the weapons and out of the actual space, causing the weapons and energy to continue forward, onwards until they would, eventually, explode, far away from the fray.

Khendon’s craft reappeared seconds later, in the same spot, gold dust flying in all directions away from it as a compartment opened and vented fumes. In order to escape the oncoming barrage, Khendon had overridden the negative matter control and dropped the entire craft’s load into the system, causing it to enter hyperspace, but, like a rewind button stuck at the beginning of a holovid, stay in the same place, moving from one to the other destination as the negative matter slowly diminished and overheated, melting Khendon’s sophisticated primary hyperdrive system. Khendon had vented the overheated negative matter that had remained, along with the coolant that was in the hyperdrive itself.

“FRELL” the words were never said, but rather, they appeared on Gue’s screen, a communication from Khendon’s brain.

The E3 began firing point blank again, this time into Gue’s engines, melting the exhaust ports as Khendon’s maneuvering systems flew his ship backwards away from the Blood, which had started to return fire, Khendon’s craft taking several of the hits as he turned around, his rear lasers continuing to pour on the fire as he gained distance and fired off three more Ion Torpedoes, each set to puncture mod, which, basically, meant they would cut into the center of the ship, then explode.

Gue's initial torpedoes began to turn toward's Khendon, once again, but they were destroyed by his anti-missile system, as had been done to the first attempt Gue made of launching a projectile at Khendon.

[Lord Gue]

[I]He saw them coming, but the thrusters were extremly slugish to respond. In fact he might not have thought they were there if not for the fact he was still moving. He mummbled "frell" to himself repeatedly as he could not move with enough speed to ever evade these torps. Looking down on them he locked them into computer targeting, with that the weapons on repulsor immediatly lined up a straight shot on each missle individualy, firing a steady stream of laser fire at each ones warhead, detonating it a safe distance from either ship. He turned his attentions to his own ship for a brief second as he reached above him, pulling a metalic crank, then pushing his power meter to the limit he pulled the crank again and the engines squelled and sounded like they may have exploded. In actuallity he had just sacrificed speed for meanuverability as he used the engines raw power themselves to blow the exhaust ports open.
He again turned back to the E3, looking like a pheonix in the night it would be hard not to spot her. He bore The Blood down on her as all turrents moved in front, he backed power back off the engines and put them again into the weapons systems. Instead of a single beam of fire, with all firing near each other at the same time, it looked more like one massive red beam with a bluish core (the Ion Cannon). A beam directed straight at the midsection of the E3..

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon smiled wickedly as his A.L.F. shields activated, “foolish” those were the only words which reverberated throughout Khendon’s mind as the massive ion beam bounced off Khendon’s craft and directly towards the Blood, but this time, Khendon unleashed a barrage of Ion Cannons, followed by the launching of one of the smaller, faster, lighter ion torpedoes on the hard point under his wing to aid the blast. “Checkmate,” the words scrolled across Gue’s screen as the massive wash of energy approached Gue’s craft in a instant.
