Mission: Mission 65: And Death Rained Down
Location: The Gorth'nar System
Timeline: 0900Hrs - February 28th, 2392

L'heki smiled as he regarded the sensor display before him. His goal was to destroy the starbase located in this system without alerting Wohavi of his intentions in doing so.

He had deployed four ships that would serve as Jammers around the system in four locations, each protected by one squadron of six Birds of Prey, He also had four larger ships at each location should they be needed for defense.

L'Heki would lead his three dozen ships in, sweep the system for contraband, war materials and supplies before he would eliminate the Wohavi presence. 'Well her and her vile house' L'Heki thought to himself as he gave the order to his fleet to begin the attack.

The first hint that anyone had that something was wrong when the jamming field went up which meant that subspace comms went black all over the system before the dozen or so Klingon ships and bases in system were all suddenly jumped all around the same time, with various ships shooting at each other.

A bird of Prey began battering down the shields of a Transport loyal to Wohavi before its shields failed altogether, it was then boarded by troops off of one of L'heki's Negh'var class battleships as they began the ruthless elimination of anyone aligned to Wohavi or her house.

L'ethi added the captured ships to the enlarged fleet he shared with Tethi, as he sent them to the rendezvous point, nobody was to remain around after a shp had been captured.

One the system was secure. L'heki began ordering his larger ships to deploy their torpedoes like mines except with propellant, their objective was to remain out of range and batter down the stations shields with ordinance from long range.

The prize that would kill the base was a K'Tinga who had in effect been turned into a flying warhead, she would ram the station at near the speed of light, her computer was setup to detect the distances and detonate the warheads and explosives aboard at one quarter of a second before impact while moving at an estimated fifty percent the speed of light.

L'Heki nodded. "En'cha!" it was the Klingon word for begin as his ships began launching dozens then hundreds of torpedoes aimed at the base, most of them would autocorrect for spatial orientation, to ensure they did not miss. A wide grin sped across L'Heki's face as the fireballs began to appear and spread across the base's shielding before it went down, dozens more began to blossom over the base's superstructure as the K'Tinga came in exactly as planned and with her overcharged engines in play, she rammed the base but at only half the projected speed she was set up for, however the rest went exactly as planned and the base was shattered by a truly massive conflagration.

As large chunks of debris began falling into the nearby planets gravity well. "Glass all spaceports and any orbit capable transports."

The fleet did exactly that, they proceeded to obliterate the spaceports on the planet as well as shoot down any transports that could evacuate the world.

L'Heki grinned. "All ships. target one location and fire... Keep firing until you reach the middle of the mandle, I want to let the planet do our work for us....With a flood basalt eruption."

For the second time, his orders were obeyed without question and the planet was barraged with high powered weapons as the ships gathered proceeded to use the planet to glass the planet.

Meanwhile on Kronos, nobody had any idea that anything had gone wrong in either the Gorth'nar or the Chaj Dak systems until a defense force patrol entered the system six hours later after the final battle in either system and all they found was nothing other then battlegrounds, with thousands of dead Klingons and little sign of their attackers.

Apparently No quarter was asked and none was given as the fighting had quickly taken on a level of brutality that was hard to believe. For others it was hard to imagine or even believe if the reports coming out of the two systems affected were correct. There were no survivors from either world.
