---Neimoidia s.p.a.ce unknown time---Sharia at the moment hate everything that had to do with s.p.a.ce at the moment. She had been stationed at the edge of the planet of Neimoidia. Sitting just outside of sensor range and the gravity well of the planet, but just close enough to pick up all transmission coming from there.
Thanks to the newly installed system A.I. that all Mandalorian ship had started to be installed with there were no encrypted transmissions in the galaxy that the Mandalorians could not hack at the moment. So all ship plans, troop movements weapons buys, any and everything was recorded and sent right back to Mandalorian military command.
She had wanted to just have the ship"s A.I. stationed here to do this just but Jack had stressed that these A.I. had human emotions and would need companions just like normal beings would and sending it out alone was a rather bad idea so. Her she was for the last month playing chess with an A.I. that never lost as they both slowly lost their minds in the emptiness of s.p.a.ce.
"You move commander. Stop being so distracted or you lose 1.5 times faster than you normally do." Jinx said with a smile. Jinx took the form of a pixie with Spartan battle armor. She was covered in a red flimsy and always seemed to have a blood l.u.s.t smile plastered on her face. Jinx"s statement seem to bring Sharia back from her thoughts as she looked at the board.
She sighed she was going to lose in 4 moves if Jinx really wanted to end the game or 8 if she was feeling generous, but as a good Mandalorian she would finish the fight no matter how annoying the little b.u.g.g.e.r got after she won a game. Just before she made her move the ship"s system sent her an alert.
A priority message was incoming to the planet. Jinx immediately switch off the game and went into observation mode and began decrypting the message. Sharia not to out done started a back trace to see where the message had been sent from and who had sent it. "Commander we might have a problem." Jinx said worry was in her tone of voice.
Sharia shot back, " Your d.a.m.n right we have a problem this message came from a jedi...I think his name is Van or Vam. What the h.e.l.l...why would a jedi be sending a message to the enemy..." Jinx answered that question by showing her the contents of the message.
"Oh s.h.i.t... Jack"s not going to be happy about this." All Jinx could do is nod the A.I. like all of her brothers and sister had been given a summery of the history of their leaders life and achievements. She knew better than her commander what their Mand"lor thought about traitors. This was not good...
---Kimeno One Month later---
It had been a very hectic month on the planet. Mandalorians Heavy Cruises had been coming to the planet to move all the active battalions on board and into s.p.a.ce. The 6.7 million clones that where considered combat ready had all been active and moved off planet. The 3.3 million that were left would still need atlest a year before they would be ready for service. Jack had placed another order of 10 million woth the Hope"s that they would be ready in five years times just in case the war dragged on for that long.
Blue team was the last to leave as they had to wait for their armors to be brought from New Mandlor and resized on the planet. They also needed to test their equipment before they would be brought to Jack who was still on Coruscant. John still wonder why they could not just test the suits in s.p.a.ce, but he did not voice his complaint. He would do what he was told like any other Mandalorian before him.
The current members of Blue team, John 117, Kelly 087, Fred 104, Linda 058, Kate 320, and n.o.ble or n.o.ble-Six 312 all waited on stand by in one of the conference rooms in the cloning facilities. They had been called here for an unknown reason by Jack"s master Reaven, before any of them started to wonder why they had been called said Master with the Exile in toe walked in to the room.
Without a word Reaven placed a holo com on the table in the middle of the room and Jack"s body came floating out of it. "Blue team are you combat ready?" John responded immediately, "All members are combat ready and standing by for taking sir." Jack direct his glaze at John, "Good have a mission level black. We have a traitor or group of traitors giving details of operations to enemy a.s.sets. I will deal with the traitors here on Coruscant. Your mission will be to insert in enemy controlled s.p.a.ce capture the one who received the intel and return for debriefing.
You don"t have permission to die or be captured is that clear." All of blue team came to attention, "We hear and obey Mand"lor!" Jack nodded, "Good get it done I will see you on Coruscant when miss is complete. You have permission to go dark mission time is set for three days if you have not reported in by then I am bring the fleet to pull your sorry a.s.s out of the firs and then sending back to basic for retraining Mand"lor out."
With the transmission ending Reaven pulled out 6 light sabers and placed them on the table. With testing on if the clones of Jack retained his force abilities still on going they did not have time to make their own sabers. Reaven took it upon himself to make the sabers for them. "You all have been training to the same extent as your master in the use of these weapons while the force maybe locked to you for the moment, however you all are still some of the best duelist I have ever trained. These sabers will serve you well."
With that Reaven left the room leaving only blue team and the Exile. She motioned the team to follow her as she lead them to a landing platform. On the platform was a newly crafted stealth frigate based in the designs of a Forrunner Weapon-Ship, only slightly larger and with more firepower. The ship was like all Mandalorian ship black in color with one ma.s.sive MAC cannon on the front. "This is one of the many new ship varieties that Mand"lor has commissioned he was adamant that your team be the first to use them. On board you will find two squads of Commandos and Arc Troops, and a full crew able to help you in this mission and many more pa.s.s this one.
There are other goodies in side however I will leave that to your crew to explain. Good luck children of Mand"lor. Do not fall for I feel Mand"lor may burn the galaxy as a whole to avenge your loss."
Now alone with just his team n.o.ble turned to John," What"s the call chief." Without even looking at the man John started walk to the ship as he replied over his shoulder, "Failure is not permitted mission clear conditions 100% survival, and no enemy that we come in contact with survive to tell the tale. Let move people we have a time table to keep."
---Neimoidia s.p.a.ce---
Blue Team"s ship jumped into the s.p.a.ce. That is correct they did not use one of the hypers.p.a.ce lanes that lead into the planet. The ship which they named Shadow Fox was equipped with a Battle Star Galactic style engine that allows a ship to fold s.p.a.ce and move from one point to another given the engine had enough fuel to power the fold. What would have normal taken a ship from Kimeno a week to get to Neimoidia it took the Shadow Fox three jumps totaling 3 hours. The only limiting factor was the jump drive had to cool after every jump on smaller ships.
If they pushed the engines they could make multiple jumps but it increased the chances of the engine failing, which would force the ship to use the hypers.p.a.ce drive instead. The ship moved towards Sharia"s small ship to collect her and get a full mission briefing. The first shoots of the war where about to be fired, and it would come from a black ops mission no less. It would be many years before anyone would learn the history of Blue Team and their many accomplishments during and after the clone wars, but all historians agree first blood would have to go to these Mandalorians.

And what a beautiful first strike it was. One that would plant the seed of fear into the enemies of New Mandlor.
