*sigh*

No, Yuuzhan Vong shipyards look like an asteroid field.

This is seen in Edge of Victory when they attacked that "super weapon" that really turned out to be a Yuuzhan Vong Worldship under construction.

Alright thats fine. We will leave it up to Tentengo to RP it the way he wants.

OOC: Thank you, I was afraid that this had taken off without me when I saw 12 posts. Obviously, let's try and keep this civil, and keep any complaints civil. I'm willing to edit my posts as necessary if I can be proven incorrect, I hope you'll do the same.

IC: It only took a few moments for the fighters being dispersed from all ships to set up thier combat air patrols. At the same time, the Yevethan fleet was making the minor alterations neccesary to achieve maximum effeciency in thier placement. Thier current positions were defensive, awaiting the sensor readings before changing anything else.

A Yevethan ensign was reporting that even as the final preparations were made. "Admiral, sensors report no Yuzzah Vong in the area. We're to far from the planet now to get accurate readings, but it seems abandoned."

Spa'ar's face flashed red for a moment. Word they had recieved before that final jump indicated a number of Yuzzah Vong vessels not defending against the Mon Calamari Fleet. So why was Jaminere seemingly undefended. Something was up and Tetengo didn't like it. Perhaps this was an ambush, or maybe the wretched Yuzzuh Vong had decided to sacrifice this world in order to attack another. "Send a recon force in to make a closer inspection. Six Vibres, two Blessings, four Thrustships, two Advanced-thrustships, and the 'Valiant.' They are to continue intense sensor scanning while they approach the planet. I want to know why nothing is here. Pay extra attention to the far side of the planet, but not at the cost of other areas. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book to hide your fleet opposite the planet."

The fifteen ship task force led by the Menace-class Star Destroyer formed up and made way, thier fighters and CAPs holding station with them. The rest of the Black Sword Fleet allowed followed at a slower speed. An ambush would not catch the entire group, but at the same time, they would not abandon thier brothers. Assistance could be provided in only a few moments should hostilities commence.

The "Valiant" and it's contingent began high intensity scanning even as thier orders were barked over the ships intercoms. Areas of responsibility were handed out amongst the sensor specialists, with each ship backing each other up and all reporting in to the Star Destroyer, whose captain held a heavily encrypted Holonet channel with Spa'ar.

OOC: I'm posting this as if you exterminated/enslaved the former inhabitants. Please let me know if I'm incorrect.

OOC: Sorry Chadd, I can't wait any longer, have to move on to some other things. I was really hoping for some head on combat, too bad it didn't happen.

IC: Three hours had passed since the "Valiant" and it's task force had been sent out, and they nor any of the other scouts had come across anything. All of the Yevethan's were frustrated. They had trained for weeks for combat, only to find nothing here. No Yuzzah Vong, no natives, no sign of sentient life. It was now shift change in the Black Sword Fleet, which was now positioned around the planet. A young tech specialist aboard one of the ships ran to his station, he was late for duty. His commanding officer immediately began grilling him, the frustration pouring from the officer onto the younger man. He was cut short however, when he saw the look on the technicians face.

"What is son, you got something to say?" the officer growled.

The youth was still breathing heavily due to his run from his quarters. "Y...yes...yes sir. You see, myself and a few of the others had been taking a look at the sensor readings we'd been pulling in since we got them, and cross-referencing them with records from the last Vong invasion, as well as historical records of the system. We think we might have found something sir. May I?" he asked while motioning to a nearby holoprojector and grasping inside his pocket for his datapad.

---Thirty minutes later, main hanger bay, ESD---

A lone Lambda shuttle settled down onto the durasteel decking. The boarding ramped docked and five passengers disembarked, immediately being led out of the hanger and to the Admiral's private conference room. Spa'ar was already there, looking moderately displeased while the four technicians and the officer set up and were introduced. Finally the presentation began, as a large hologram appeared in the air above the center of the table. As a nervous technician began speaking, the hologram zoomed in on the asteroid fields that had formed on one side of the planet. "Sir, the records we found showed that like thier ships, most Yuzzah Vong space facilities have been reported to look like asteroids. Sensor readings on these formations are very similar to those recorded during the initial invasions in places such as Serndipal, these may very well be Vong shipyards, apparently abandoned like everything else here."

Tetengo looked over all the information in detail, debating his possible choices. Clearing his throat, he looked to the Eclipse Star Destroyer's Captain in the seat next to him. Memories of the holo's he had seen in the past, of the horrors the Vong had caused throughout the galaxy. He had only to look down on the planet to see a prime example of that viciousness. Jaminere had once been the capital of the Tion Hegemony. Now it was a wasteland, devoid of sentient life. In the end there was never a doubt in his mind as to what his orders would be. "Destroy those installations, have the debris tractored into the system's star after a thurough examination."

Next he turned to his other side, speaking to the Yevethan General seated there. "Order your troops to thier ships. Full assault forces are to be deployed within the hour. It may look like the enemy has abandoned this system, but I want no surprises. The colonization teams will be awaiting your word that the planet is under control. From there garrisons and eventually permanent settlements will be errected. I want this to be completely by the book."

Slowly Spa'ar's gaze moved over each person in the room. "Good job to each of you. For now, dismissed."

The 'Admiral' stood and all there saluted as he left. With uneasy glances back and forth, they too left to do thier duty and complete his orders.

I'm sorry, Is till can't post, IRL restrictions, but I wanted to get a warning up before you did...

Jaminere's atmosphere is completely contaminated, any troops landing there would be killed instantly from the viruses dispatched onto the planet when it was taken over...
