Von Ricmore visibly shook with unrestrained fury. Gauntleted hands tightly gripped the edges of his seat as the Anzat seethed in rage.

The Seer had been found. Or some trace of her at least. The elusive enemy had finally made a mistake, or perhaps this was some form of providence from the Force.

The Vizsla task force had not even intended to find The Seer. The group had been tracking their Great Hunt target, an ex Imperial named Mar’Vel. After analyzing data from the captured Cantina on the moon of Daemunn the fleet had found their way two sectors over to the planet of Bakura.

Upon arriving at the system the Vizslans encountered far more ships than they expected. Numerous Action VI transports which scan revealed to be carrying a large amount of bizarre cargo, including the crystals the Seer made use of during the last GJW, descended to the planet's surface. A whopping 12 Gladiator Class Star Destroyers were fanned out in a protective blockade to defend the transports.

Learning more about or even capturing The Seer took priority over the hunt. Von pressed a button on the console in front of him, opening up a comm line to the Commander of the Vizsla forces on board the Concordia.

“Deploy the special missions company using the ATR-6 flight. They need to capture one of the Action VI ships. Put them in contact with the Shriek Hawk, its interdiction fields will prevent their target from jumping to hyperspace. The fleet will cover your approach.” Von ordered.

“Right away sir.” The commander responded.

Von shifted focus to the fleet in front of him. While the Gladiator class were not true Star Destroyers, the ships were classified as Cruisers in most databases, the amount present were certainly problematic. Mounted laser cannons, concussion missile launchers and tractor beams present on each ship would make deploying bombers far too costly to be efficent. The Clan would have to make due with its fighters to make the battle last long enough.

Each fleet deployed all of its fighters, the Children of the Force had far more Tie fighter squadrons, but the many X wings among the Vizsla squadrons helped to make up the difference. Even the B wings were deployed but due to the enemy composition they remained closer to the Vizsla ships as defensive gunships rather than their primary role as bombers.

The fleets exchanged turbolaser fire as the Concordia sliced into one of the Gladiator ships, disabling its weapons. The Vizsla fleet focused their fire on a single Gladiator, rapidly breaking its shields and destroying the vessel. The Children of the Force returned fire, breaking the shields of the Rim Runner and setting the vessel ablaze. The ship barely jumped to hyperspace in time to avoid destruction due to its exceptional speed.

Von’s attention was stolen by an incoming transmission from the Special Forces Company.

“We’ve captured the ship and are jumping to hyperspace now. We’ll rendezvous back at Sundari Station.”

“Excellent work.” Von congratulated the group. “The fleet will meet you there.” Von ended the transmission.

“All ships jump to hyperspace now. Make several jumps to lose any pursuers and join up at the Clan Headquarters.”

The fleet jumped to hyperspace, damaged but intact. It was time to see what The Seer wanted with Bakura.
