Tule Raid

Bait

Upon planetary approach, the engines on the Nudibranch were disengaged and continued along its forward momentum. Crew operators processed to mimic the conditions of a ship in distress:

Fluctuating the power going to various systems while turning others off completely

Starting a fire in the hanger bay

Venting the flame and smokey atmosphere through a small gap to create a trail behind the ship

Active the distress beacon

Planetary Orbit

The orbital battle took place far above the planet's equator with slow momentum carrying the invaders in the planet's direction and fast momentum propelling the pirates towards them.  

Pirate Base

An uncomplicated complex composed of a rudely-constructed central building, an abundance of hangers built into canyon walls and tall parallel walls blocking the entrance.

Space Raid

Unbeknownst to outside viewers, Nudibranch was full of a compliment of anti-boarding and boarding units to combat enemy barding parties, as well as hidden rail guns to utilize when they closed the distance. While contending with the yacht, the other ships' engines had suddenly cut off without explanation.   From a greater distance, a swarm of small but heavily armed crafts launched from the Castle followed by tugs and the units for a ground invasion.  

Ground Assault

Foregoing any sophisticated strategy, the ground commander merely use his superior numbers and firepower to overwhelm the remaining defenders left behind in the base.
