Competition: Mining For Trouble

Finished
Mining For Trouble

Specifics

The Headquarters of House Archanis are situated on a planet called Volcanus. Over the years the planet has been mined and excavated ‘till it has almost run dry. When Taldryan were awarded the new system the Archanis summit jumped at the idea of finding a sister planet for resources. They decided on a scouting mission into the system to scan planets for possible mining and other resources.

The leader of this mission would be the newly appointed Aedile Ricco Vao. He knew all of the members and appreciated the chance to prove himself to Crix. He packed up his things: food and drink supplies, weapons, scanning equipment etc. he was always prepared for unseen circumstances. The ship they were using was a brand new Star Yacht called the Haushinka with brand new technology and equipment.

He and his team of Archanis members assembled in hanger bay 3 and he gave a quick pep talk to them about how the mission should go. They filed onto the ship and took up stations. Daar sat next to Ricco in the cockpit, his second in command for this mission, as the young Battleteam Leader was experienced in flight. The others went to their separate quarters and unpacked their gear.

Ricco punched in the co-ordinates and they left Volcanus in the safe hands of Crix and a few others. The new system was an exciting prospect and they would be some of the first people to reach the secret destination. After they were on track some of the crew hunched round a table in the centre compartment of the yacht to play Pazak. Ricco sat alone, calm as the earth before a storm, sipping some of his finest liqueur he bought on his travels and let out a sight. He thought this was going to be a good mission, not easy, but without peril.

They cam out of Hyperspace with no problems and coasted along like a soaring bird caught in the wind. Ricco let the young Knight pilot the ship towards the nearest planet where they would start the scanning and possibly set up base camp. When all of a sudden three ships de-cloaked from no where and a blaster bolt shook the ship violently. Cries of “Shields up” and “Man the turrets” were heard in the panicked scurry and Ricco took over the helm…
