The half dozen Kom'rk-class fighter/transports that belonged to Damocles and his guard descended down trough the atmosphere. The troop bays of the Blade of Escalus and the Spear of Ascalon opened, allowing the 48 Mandalorians to jet pack down to the surface. The group formed a perimeter and cleared the landing area, before the ships touched down. Damocles had surveyed information on the moon and come up with a plan. And like many of his plans, it was a long game.
The first phase would be a small settlement. The second phase, a medium town. The third, a large city. With the natural resources, Concordia would be able to support itself fairly easily. Though, it would be easy enough to make trade deals for what ever they could not get themselves. Damocles exited the Sword and looked out across the plain as his guard formed up behind him, each of their own troop compliments filing out of their individual ships
"Let us begin our work here..."

With the initial settlement area planned out, Several more supply ships arrived to Concordia. New settlers exited the ships and unloaded the tools to begin clearing out some of the forest and start on felling tree's to use in constructing new houses and buildings. With things under way, Damocles got to work helping clear tree's and move them to the stockpile. His guard also aided in either gathering logs, or the initial housing set up

The Death Watch forces landed near a mountain. From the outside, this mountain looked like a normal mountain, but in reality, it held a secret bunker that had been constructed by Death Watch decades ago. Suddenly, the ground opened up, revealing a large hanger in which they stashed their fighters. As they entered, Selena remembered her father speaking about this place, how it was established to protect themselves from the True Mandalorians many years ago. She walked over to a com station, then composed a message for Kaine's right hand woman.
"Greetings. You should know that at this point, we have established a holding on Concordia, in an old bunker that has been untouched for many years. The coordinates of it are attached in the message. There is much to do, so I must be going. Contact us as soon as you require our services."
With that, she ended the message, sent it to Dazerka, and started directing the troops in their preparations.

The transport ferrying Goliath Ika and a couple representatives from each of the species that made up Clan Ika, came rushing down through the atmosphere at first. But once it broke through, the craft seemed to glide down towards the surface. Making a pass across the settlement area, well and truly getting the attention of those below. The pilot then touched the transport down in the field that had been set aside to act as the spaceport. Goliath was the first to exit the craft, followed soon after by the representatives that had come with him

As the days turned into weeks, the slowly growing settlement started to take more form. More settlers with a range of craftsman skills were brought in. The first set of mines was reopened, allowing the mining of various metals and precious minerals. Processing plants were also set up to turn the raw materials into usable items for use on world and to trade with other Clans and Worlds. More space was being cleared out, and areas being planned for future development. It would not be too much longer now, till the initial settlement reached its peak.
Damocles had been in the middle of a break, when the transport traversing the sky across the settlement caught his attention. No contact had been made by the ship, other than to request landing permission and approach vectors. He grabbed his helmet and placed it over his head, before heading off to the spaceport. His guard assembling quickly and following behind him. The transport had already landed and its occupants already disembarked, by the time he arrived. What greeted him, was a small group of Xexto's, Jawa's, and Ewok's. All clad in bits and pieces of Beskar'gam, with a Clan Insignia he had not seen before
"Oya Ner'vod! Welcome to Concordia..."

As Mand'alor approached them, Goliath lead the way in giving a brief salute "Oya Mand'alor! I am Goliath, Aliit'alor of aliit Ika. And these are some of my vod..." He motioned towards the others with him. Each giving another nod when they felt the Mand'alors attention passed over them. Goliath pulled out a small holoprojector, showing the Lucrehulk they had, along with information on those living on it "We have come to pledge our support to you, and ask where we might be of aide? Our Clan might be small, but we have many talented pilots, mechanics, and scouts. Ready to serve our people!"

Clan.... Small. It was certainly a very fitting name for the group of vertically challenged races. He bowed his head in greeting to Goliath and those with him, taking stock of these new Mandalorians. His attention was then drawn to the holoprojector. A lucrehulk. Well, Clan Ika was certainly already making a name for itself. Especially with a mobile home base that large. As he skimmed over the associated information however, it did seem they were indeed a small Clan comparatively. Not that he had any issue with that. There were much smaller Clans than Clan Ika. And each and every one of them still contributed to the greater whole of the Mandalorian Assembly
"Most impressive Aliit'alor... I cannot say I have any clear answers for you. But Mandal Motors is currently building a large shipyards to allow our fleets to recover from their diminished state. And Clan Fett is rebuilding the Mandalorian Protectors. Both projects that would certainly cover your Clan's area of expertise..."

Selena boarded her ship, as did two of her men. The trio lifted into the air and began proceeding directly to Damocles’ settlement. As the three ships raced through the air, Selena’s thoughts began wandering to the future of Death Watch, specifically her role in it. Her thoughts were jolted back into the present as the computer informed her that she had arrived, as the three transports screamed over the settlement, obviously drawing attention, she began to prepare to land.
Death Watch Pilot
The pilot was also preparing to land when his transmitter began flashing red. Knowing what this meant, he and the other pilot looped around and sprayed a hail of fire into Selena’s ship. The fighter transport flew out of control and pinioned towards a mountain. Satisfied with their work, they flew overhead and strafed the emerging city. All though it did nothing but destroy a road, it got the message across. It was time for a leaner, meaner Death Watch. However, Selena’s fighter arced into the sky, blasting into space.

==DW Hunt==
<<106PP; O7 Sector, Condordia>>
<<T minus 19 hours>>
In orbit above the planet, on the ships working on the shipyard, a rumor began to spread about sightings of Death Watch on the moon of Concordia. There were few enough people on board the small fleet of construction ships, but they held the usual hatred of the Death Watch. A few scouts were sent down to the moon in order to gain some more info.
<<T minus 10 hours>>
Kuan Tongia wasn't particularly stealthy or a good tracker, but she was best to be had from the crew on the ships. A few hours in various towns & a couple of false leads later, she was standing some way beyond the outer limits of a mountain.
<<T minus 2 hours>>
It had taken several more hours & a number of detailed scans from orbit before she was absolutely sure some sort of base was hidden within it. For now she was just waiting for some sign that it was a Death Watch stronghold.
<<T minus 10 minutes>>
That was the sign she was waiting for. A trio of fighters bearing the marks of the Death Watch exited the mountain. In orbit above, the ingot blanks used to feed the factory lines were diverted to the loading bays. Each of the blocks was slightly larger than a soda can & made of solid durasteel. The ship didn't have the power of a military craft, but it would make up for it with mass. The ingots were feed in blocks of a thousand into the gravity feeds. Usually the feeds were used to maneuver larger cargoes between ships too large to dock directly. Today however, it was taking clusters of the blank ingots & launching them down toward the mountain stronghold. Against another orbital ship, it would do little, but with the added energy of gravity, it would make one hell of an impact on the mountain.
Down below Kuan was running as fast as she could from the mountain.
<<T minus 0>>
The first rod hit slightly ahead of the main mass. The 350 gram ingot hit with roughly the same force as four sticks of TNT. It was however only the first ingot. Within moments, another nine hundred & ninety nine rods struck the mountain. The concentrated force of the strike caused a shock wave that flattened every tree on that side of the mountain. It also would cause a tremor that would easily be felt throughout the mountain bunker. Fifteen seconds later, a second cluster struck the far side of the mountain with equal force. Each strike had excavated a fair scoop out of the side of the mountain. Once again, fifteen seconds later, a third cluster struck the mountain. The unpowered nature of the munitions made them nearly impossible to track, but to those that could backtrack the path of the fire, they would discover a trail of clusters leading up into orbit. nearly forty clusters were already falling, with more being launched as quickly as they could. The ship would not be stopping until the entire mountain as little more than a crater, its had several million ingots left in its own stocks. However, a second Lucrehulk was already swinging into position to add to the fire.
<<T plus 5 minutes>>
While the factory ship only had one gravity chute for unloading, the cargo variant had a pair, which ended up tripling the fire speed of the clusters. It also had several tens of millions of the ingots instead of the relatively small cargo space of the factory variant. It would however be another ten minutes before the first clusters it had launched reached the surface. Unfortunately for the ships in orbit, the strikes would do little to take out anyone fleeing the mountain. Either by vehicle or by foot. The lag in the impact time was simply too great to accurately target anything moving.

The various Death Watch fighters launched from the mountain, carrying the Death Watch itself as the mountain was reduced to a molten slag. The various fighters blasted into the atmosphere.

A shipyard expansion project and a rebirth of the Mandalorian Protectors. Both very intriguing and interesting projects that Clan Ika would most certainly be an asset in helping with. For now, they would be filed away and kept in mind. For there was still much that Goliath had planned to do. More specially, the recruitment of more members into the Clan. Something he could more confidently do, now that he had met the Mand'alor and was certain they would be accepted into thee Assembly "Thank you Mand'alor. I will keep these prospects in mind, and see what we can do to help them along. But for now, we will take our leave. There is sill much work to be done to strengthen our Clan so that we might more properly contribute... Ret'urcye mhi" Goliath gave a bow of his head, before waiting until Damocles gave them leave to go. At which point they would load back onto thee transport and head back up to The Ori'yaim

"Ret'urcye mhi Aliit'alor..." Damocles gave a bow of his head and watched as Goliath's shuttle took off. It had barely disappear from sight, when the three shuttles flew over head. Damocles suspected he was not done greeting Clan leaders just yet. He started to make his way toward the landing pad he suspected they would land at, when one of the ships fired on the lead one "Take cover!" Damocles and his guards ran for a nearby building, taking cover as the lead ship crashed towards the nearby hills. The settlers were already clearing the streets by the time that the pair of Death Watch markeed craft made their runs. Damocles managed to get a good look at their markings, as the ship headed for orbit "What the hell is going on..." "Damocles!" He looked to Escalus, before turning to look in the direction his brother was pointing. The ground shifted, as the shock waves were felt from the thousands of projectiles that were launched at the mountain. Ships could just barely be seen escaping the location, as wave after wave of ingots impacted the mountain, reducing it to nothing but a crater "We need to get back to thee command center, now! We need tracking on what ever those were!" "On it!" Damocles lead the way back through the settlement to the command center set up in the middle of it. People were already scrambling about to check on each other and assess the damage that had been done by the Death Watch craft. A handful of operators were already busy working away at consoles, tracking the craft and identifying who they belong to. Whilst also working on vectors for the falling ingots. Longinus pushed the operator out of the way just as the results came up "Looks like the D'Ordinii factory ships in orbit are responsible for them..." "Get me a line to Aya, now!" "Opening a line now..." Ascalon jumped onto one of the consoles, before opening a long range communication line to Aya D'Ordinii "Line is open..." Damocles walked over to the station and pressed the activator switch "Aya, care to explain why your factory ships are firing at a mountain on Concordia?!"

There was a slight pause as Aya processed the statement. It was not in the list of things she had been expecting to hear today. Or ever for that matter.
-Aya
I ... Hang on a second.
It only took a few moments to tap into the sensor feeds from the various Imperium ships in the system. A moment more retrieved the datalogs leading up to the attack. It seemed the mountain was a Death Watch stronghold. How it had managed to survived all the time the Imperium had controlled the moon, Aya would never be able to say.
-Aya
It would seem that the workers on the factory ships heard a rumor about Death Watch activity in the area. They had scouts checking it out when the attack on your outpost happened. As the factory ships lack weapon systems, they made use of what they had on had.
Aya would be the first to admit it had been a downright devious move. Thinking like that was well worth the cost & she quietly credited their accounts with a few extra hundred thousand credits each.
-Aya
I'm not sure if you knew of their presence, but House D'Ordinii will not stand by & allow the Death Watch to return. The ship acted of their own initiative, but the House maintains a constant state of war with the Death Watch & has shoot on sight orders for any lowlifes claiming to be a part of that organization.

The trio of fighters landed and the various occupants descended from the cockpits, looking out of place with their wings. They stood in wait for Mand’alor.

Auxitius' shuttle continued to descend to the surface of Concordia. The Rakatan glancing out the view port of the shuttle down upon the steadily growing town down below. When last he had seen Concordia, the settlement had been little more than a collection of wooden structures and a few properly built metal buildings. Now, the town was slowly converting over to more robust building materials as the mines started to generate new streams of revenue. Drawing more workers here from various Clans, eager to purchase their own stake in the mines. Ensuring a stream of Bes'kar for their own uses.
Damocles stood at the edge of the newest landing pad that had been built at the Concordia starport. Watching the shuttle as it continued its descent. The landing struts extended as it reached the surface and landed. With the Rakatan Mandalorian exiting the ship a few moments later
"Oya Mand'alor!"
"Oya Auxitius. Welcome back to Concordia... I trust the fleet is still in one piece?"
"I take care of everything left in my care, regardless of who gives it to me..."
"Of course. Well, at any rate... There is much to show you. And things we need to discuss..."
"Very well... Lead on..."
Damocles smiled and nodded, before leading Auxitius through the spaceport and out into the growing capital of Concordia

The moon of Concordia rotated around Manda'yaim, minding its own business.
Also minding their own business were the dozen or so space tugs that were hauling a wreck behind them. The wreck was an old Mandalorian Wars era dreadnaught.
A private contractor had hired the pilots to tow the vessel out here, and was offering good pay. They didn't ask questions. Another crew, hired by someone else, was waiting to begin the work on the wreck. They were supervised by a third crew, who had again been hired through a third party.
Behind all this activity was Konig of Clan Australis, and he was ensuring his father wouldn't and couldn't interfere in his personal project, upon which he was spending large amounts of his father's credits, right under the old man's nose...

Construction and fitouts on the Kandosii-class Dreadnaught were nearing completion. Upon recieving word that the vessel was ready for space trials, Konig and his command squad of Trianii Ori'rami'kade called The Pride, headed out to Concordia in an old Meteor-class carrier. WAYII! One of the commandos exclaimed when their ship brought them around the moon and they saw the vessel for the first time. Konig was silent, but he had to admit, the techs and engineers had done well.She was a beauty. He had chosen the name Invincible Reason for his flagship. Konig grinned at the anticipation of his father's reaction, expecting half outrage at the expense, half admiration at such an ancient symbol of war brought to life in the modern age; festooned with heavy weaponry. Konig, no doubt, would be expected to earn his keep with his new command, and didn't doubt he would recieve the tough assignments with the biggest stick. Oh well, it would be worth it to see Reyn's reaction; his older brother had a cruiser, and a nice one at that. But it wasn't a shabla Mando'ade battleship. Their father didn't have one either, and wasn't likely to any time soon.The carrier docked easily in the Invincible Reason's hangar, and Konig and his squadmates headed into the ship, moving towards the command bridge.The exclamations were more hushed when they reached the bridge. It had been designed to Konig's specifications, and was as much a work of art as it was state of the art and functional. Efficiency met elegance. Konig left his team to stare and wonder as the bridge crew went about their work. He stepped up to the command throne, and sat his shebs down in his chair.Take us to Myrkr. He ordered. Time to see what this baby could do. Invincible Reason pulled away from Concordia, and jumped to hyperspace.
