The Sparky Raids

[lordocelot]

Dozens of Sith Ships sailed through their hyperspace routes, moving as one large fleet with one purpose to raid, destroy, or conquer many of the key planets on the Onderon trading routes. Aboard the bridge of the leading ship, standing alone looking over the work being done by insignificant flesh; was the captain of the ship, a trusted Sith Console and leader of the entire sith raids.

"Jumping out now Commander Sparky” called the pilot, like flashes of thunder. One Sith ship after another came out of hyperspace, capitol ships, frigates, corvettes, star fighters all different sith ships with one resolve to show the galaxy that the sith are not dead.

Waiting the sith around this mining planet were only a handful of small frigates and cruisers effective against Hutt’s ships or space pirates. But were no match for this powerful sith fleet.

"Captain an armada has emerged from hyperspace!" reported a frightened pilot, on board the leading frigate.

"Impossible!" shouted the captain walking over having to see with his own eyes, the dozens and dozens of warships flooding towards them.

"Contact the Republic!" ordered the captain turning to the communication officer, who began typing away at his console.

"Sir they have blocked our communication" said the officer looking up to see that the color in the captain's face was fading fast. A whistle soon echoed throughout the bridge of the leading frigate, all of the crew fell silent they all knew what the whistle was. "They are hailing us sir" commented the officer.

The captain sighed collapsing into his captain's chair, "Send it through" replied the captain who was interested in seeing who was leading this assault. But when video appeared, all of the crew was stunned at what they were seeing, it was neither person nor alien, who stared into their bridge, and it was a droid.

"This is independent space backed up by Republic treaties, as acting captain of security I demand that you and your armada to leave at once!" said the captain confidently and quickly, staring at the metallic face of the sith console, the captain was unable to read the emotions or thoughts in this droid’s head all he could see was shimmering plates and bolts upon its face as well as it’s glowing red orbs.

“It would be wise to simply surrender both your vessels and this mining facility unless you desire to be destroyed” replied Sparky.

“Who are you?” stammered the captain.

“We are Sith” answered Sparky.

At this answer the crew aboard the bridge began to converse with one another, all were surprised and confused with the droid’s answer. “Impossible! The sith were destroyed” said the captain.

Automated laughter left Sparky’s mouth, amused at the captain’s clueless remark, and Sparky shook his head, “no the sith are more powerful than ever, now as acting sith console of this fleet I will ask you again surrender both your vessels and mining facility to sith law or face the consequences” replied Sparky.

“You cannot get away with this sith droid! Though we may not be with the Republic, we do have an alliance, threatening us is threatening them!” replied the captain not willing to submit to this droid.

“That is the plan, we do not shy away from the Republic, we wish to have confrontation with them” replied Sparky.

“You will lose” said the captain boldly.

“Tell me captain is your second in command on board?” asked Sparky.

Perplexed by the droid’s sudden shift in questioning; “no he is not” answered the captain.

“Then consider yourself relieved of duty” answered Sparky disconnecting their communication with the captain’s ship. “Fire” ordered Sparky, sith fighters swept over Sparky’s flagship and towards the captain’s ship unleashing a deadly volley of green and red blasts in seconds the captain’s ship exploded into debris and shrapnel, with the other frigates flying desperately trying to avoid the wreckage.

“Find out who is second in command and receive his terms of surrender” ordered Sparky stepping away from the bridge’s windows walking up the steps he passed the officers and crew and entered the elevator, leaving the bridge to report to his master, his first of many victories on his raids.

“Mining Security frigate ahead Commander” reported a sith pilot.

“Hmm they must be patrolling the routes in hopes to catch the culprits of the raids of their precious planets” commented an amused Sparky.

“Orders Consul?” asked a sith officer.

“Yes disable this ship’s engines and communication, inform me when it is done” answered Sparky walking towards the elevator.

“At once” said the sith officer saluting the robotic commander as it disappeared behind the elevator doors .

“Coale’s Law fall in!” ordered Sparky as he stepped out of the elevator and into a crowd of droids.

The room full of droids stopped with their chattering and conversing and all stood firmly disciplined saluting their superior officer in silence waiting to be addressed.

“I hope you droids are not too tired from raiding and pillaging because we are coming up on a Mining security Frigate that as I speak is currently being pummeled into submission by this fleet and will soon be nothing more than a large piece of floating trash. It is our job to board it, and destroy all who inhabit it” informed Sparky.

“Commander Sparky the ship has been neutralized and the bridge is waiting your orders” reported the sith officer over the loudspeaker.

“Open the hatch doors, I am in the mood for a space stroll” ordered Sparky.

“Right away sir” said a hesitant officer.

The doors behind Sparky began to groan slowly opening to release a soft hissing that grew louder and louder the more the doors opened, revealing the emptiness, the coldness, the silence, and the power of open space. Sparky stepped forward towards the opening of the hatch, Coale’s law behind him. Without a word to his soldiers Sparky leapt out into the space but instead of floating away, Sparky was propelled forward towards the beaten but not destroyed republic frigate which drifted involuntarily. Coale’s Law’s booster packs were able to allow the droids to cut through space, and towards the republic frigate one of the many features of the droids which help round them to be feared throughout the galaxy.

Sparky and Coale’s law propelled over the side of the frigate and set down at the top of the ship, the clamps in their feet set firmly within the steel of the ship. Sparky blasted the ship with one of his rocket launchers as a huge hole formed in the ship, Sparky’s clamps allowed the droid not to flinch as he blasted a hole inches from where he was standing with one of his most powerful guns in his arsenal.

Sparky leapt into the hole, falling gently onto the corridor floor looking around to hear loud alarms while red lights began flashing warningly along the walls. “I suppose they saw us through the side view window” commented Sparky turning around to see more and more of his droids pummeling holes through the top of the frigate and in only a few seconds all of Coale’s law was standing comfortably within the ship’s corridor.

“They sealed the doors commander” informed one droid.

“So unseal them” reasoned Sparky walking forward to one of the sealed doors, his fingers rapping on the doors as the tips of his fingers began to glow blue, he led his fingers around the door, the fire at his fingertips melting the steel and within minutes Sparky had formed an entrance the exact shape of his frame.
Blue and Red blasts spat through the hole that Sparky had just made.

The unabashed Sparky poked his head through to see a handful of poorly trained security personnel firing at him. Sparky stuck out his hand emitting a body shield which allowed blast fire to be absorbed into his shield and broken down into raw power that Sparky’s body was able to use. “Leave them to me, the rest of you know your orders so follow them to the letter” Sparky ordered back to his droids who saluted their commander and began going down to the corridor to the other sealed door, to continue their mission.

Sparky stepped through the door and his shield was immediately peppered with blaster fire, Sparky did not retaliate he only stood embracing the blaster fire which continued to power him up.

“Why won’t you die!” shouted one oblivious security guard who did not know that he was actually strengthening his enemy.

“Because I get to much enjoyment out of killing” replied Sparky raising his hand, to show the marines he was holding a rapid fire sith rifle.

“May I hear your screams?” asked Sparky as the sith rifle began spitting red blasts peppering the personal who died loudly with their painful screams.

When the last one fell Sparky walked forward onto the very messy corridor, “playback” Sparky said.

The swishing of tapes could be heard throughout the corridor then a series of screams follow bouncing along the corridors ominously.

“That will go nicely in my collection” Sparky said walking forward to finish his mission and hopeful to add a few more screams to his collection.

“Commander Sparky we have met with many inferior guards and have quelled them all” informed a voice coming from Sparky’s wrist. It was Sparky’s number two officer CL-909.

“What are our damages?” asked Sparky pleased with his droids abilities.

“Three” answered CL-909

“Continue the sweep of the frigate, I am heading for the bridge” ordered Sparky.

“Certainly” replied CL-909.

Sparky moved forward through the corridors where the alarms of the ship flashed red and white lights while a loud horn continued to echo. Sparky was disappointed that he had met such an empty halls, but he was sure most of the ship’s marines were off to face his droids.

“Stop!” yelled a guard sprinting forward at the intruding droid, his rifle held high.

Sparky obeyed coming to a halt.

The guard was flabbergasted that the droid had obeyed its order, that he was momentarily caught off guard.

Sparky was not concentrating on the poorly trained security guard standing in front of him but the doors he stood in front of, thick dura-steel doors, these doors led to the bridge of the ship. Sparky scanned the room sensing many lives inside.

“What are you?" asked the uneasy guard.

In a flash Sparky pulled out his rocket cannon which was attached to his arm, aimed and fired at the guard.
The blast hit the guard in the abdomen but it did not detonate, the power behind the rocket picked up the screaming guard carrying him through the corridor before smashing the guard onto the bridge doors, where it pinned him to the door.
Sparky fired several more rockets which sailed through the corridor each one entrenching with a thud into the bridge door. Six rockets were anchored around the door’s frame, with the one pinning the guard in the middle. He was groaning in pain, adrenaline causing his arms to flail and his legs to kick but his strength was quickly leaving him, from the damage that the rocket had done to his organs.

Sparky raised the detonator in his hand; “the harbringer of your death ” the droid answered casually and clicked the button.

The guard’s screams were drowned out by six simultaneous explosives the shockwaves rattled the corridors as the bridge doors busted with pieces of both flesh and metal splattering and crashing through the corridors.

Sparky stepped forward unable to spell the burnt flesh, unable to cough from the smoke which resonated from the explosives, Sparky just marched forward through the corridor, pistols raised he walked over the remnants of the bridge door and entered the bridge.

Sparky was greeted by coughs, gags, and screams as the bridge was filled with smoke. Through the smoke Sparky was able to sense pick out seven people, though the smoke may have blinded those on t he bridge, Sparky could find each one of them, he could read their heart rates, thanks to his advancing technology.

“For my collection” Sparky said to himself firing his pistols its red blasts were engulfed in smoke as the blasts dived into the bridge, muffled screams, and gagging shouts followed but after a precise round of shooting there was silence.

“The crew has been subdued by murder” informed CL-909

“The bridge is taken and the ship is ours” replied Sparky over his built in comm. link.

“What of the ship?” asked Cl-909.

“I am programming it to auto-pilot where it will meet up with its fleet, I have also programmed its self-destruct so that it will not arrive back home without a gift, a message from the sith empire” finished Sparky walking through the smoke and over the corpse of the ship’s bridge technician, Sparky was able to bypass the ship’s security and program both auto-pilot and the self destruct code.

Another victim from Sparky’s raids and another victory for the Sith Empire but both Sparky and the Sith were far from done.

Sparky was alone in his chambers, the preoccupied droid was sitting at his desk, fiddling with several small orbed shaped gadgets. Sparky unscrewed one of these orbs and a ghoulish scream was released.

“Oh yes I remember your death” remarked an ominous Sparky fastening the lid on this recording ball.

“Console Sparky, Lord Coale wishes to speak with you” came an automated voice.

“Patch it through” ordered Sparky who stood from his desk.

A miniature model of the Sith Emperor appeared on the droid’s desk, “Console Sparky” addressed the sith lord.

“Master” replied Sparky with a bow of his head.

“I have read your reports, you have done extremely well” complimented Tiberian.

“Thank you master and we have already picked out our next mining facility to strike” replied Sparky.

“That will not be necessary; I have another task for you”

“Coale’s Law is willing and ready to serve the sith emperor”

“Good, because this raid involves the republic and Jedi” began Tiberian.

“They all deserve to die master and I am more than ready to hear their screams in the process”
Tiberian chuckled amused at his droid’s blood fever, “patience Sparky, I am sending you a sith fleet, this will be a devastating raid”

“What are my coordinates master?”

“I am sending them to your bridge console. And Sparky I want this Jedi’s lightsaber”

“Then my master will get the lightsaber”
Lord Coale did not respond to its console’s last words as the hologram fizzled out.

Sparky scooped up his recording orbs from his desk, walking to the other side of his chamber, he punched in his password into the wall console as a hidden door hissed to existence and slid open.

Sparky walked forward, the egg shaped room was stacked with shelves upon shelves, each shelve had dozens of recording balls on them, with a small label inscribed into it. Sparky placed his latest collection onto a shelf which was labeled, “Easy but entertaining victims”

Sparky turned his attention to one of his shelves whose label was “Jedi” This shelf was remarkably bare, only two recording orbs were on it. But Sparky knew that this Jedi would be the first of many that would be slain by him in the course of this war.
