Position: Second in Command of the Varden Expeditionary Fleet
Department/Specialty: Command/Communication and Intelligence-Electronic Warfare, Fortress Corps- Anti-Aerospace Artillery, Other-Aviator/Pilot

Physical Description: Solari males average at seven and a half feet tall. It is no surprise then that most humans look up at Rye. He can be extremely intimating individual and for the most part is all business. Brown hair and brown eyes soften his square facial features but his muscle and sheer size do let everyone that he is of Solari decent.

Personality: Rye is very direct in his conversations and brutally honest when dealing with others. When dealing with his friends, subordinates, and superiors he treats the guide posts as law. Like most Solari he has an aggressive approach to any conflict and his tactics are often direct but brutally effective. His aggressive methods to fleet engagement balances Warden Arlan, Haldis's more cautious style.

"Under the witness of the stars, forward I stand on the brink of anew and as knowing this, grasp do I the sword Valor. Take it do I, knowing in full well, that all things end and that I take this to slow the unyielding force of ending. I take this sword knowing the blood of my sisters and my brothers lies of its blade. I take this to bring them victory where they hath had defeat and hope where they had none. I take this and I swear never do I kill without cause. My blade defends only the innocent and weak. My blade rises only against those whom seek to bring harm to that of which I am sworn to protect. Knowing all this and being of sound heart and mind do I take this sword, Valor and swear my honor. This I swear."
- Warden's Pledge

A Warden gives succor to widows and orphans.
A Warden refrains from the wanton giving of offense.
A Warden lives by honor and for glory.
A Warden despises pecuniary reward.
A Warden fights for the welfare of all.

A Warden guards the honor of their fellow Wardens.
A Warden eschews unfairness, meanness and deceit.
A Warden speaks the truth at all times.
A Warden perseveres to the end in any enterprise begun.
A Warden never refuses a challenge from an equal.
A Warden never turns their back upon a foe.

Skills and Talents:

- Trained and practiced in the use of Varden and Solari firearms.
- Trained and practiced in the use of Varden and Solari equipment and most craft.
- Modified to jack into a ship or vehicle's systems to pilot the vessel via direct mental input.
- Fit and strong, with high endurance and fortitude.
- Trained in hand-to-hand combat, both unarmed and with bladed and blunt weapons.
- Exceptional reflexes.

Abilities:

-- Void: Solari are unaffected by most assaults of a psionic nature and many assaults of a magical nature.

-- Resistance: Solari can shut their mind off from their senses, making them extremely difficult to torture.

-- Ashes: Solari turn to a fine black dust shortly after they are killed. When this process is complete they cannot be revived.

Weapons & Equipment:

-- Nova VP8: Close range combat knife that uses hyper-vibrations and heat to easily cut through solid steel and many much harder substances. The VP8 uses capacitor cells loaded at the bottom of the grip but these seldom need to be changed out unless the knife is used excessively. The blade itself is constructed of an adamant core surrounded by vibranium, with a diamondine edge.
-- Arc VP12, Sidearm: A short-to-med ranged phaser pistol that easily bypasses most shield based defense systems and applies electromagnetic and thermal damage to armor based systems. It also has some weak atomic destabilization properties like disruptors. The beam fired by this pistol can easily cut through most conventional armor and cause massive heat damage to tougher stuff. The pistol has two settings that allow for continuous fire or pulse fire. The VP12 requires no ammo but does use up capacitor cells that are loaded at the top of the weapon above the grip. The continuous fire mode causes these capacitor cells to deplete much more swiftly and can potentially damage the weapon if done too frequently.
-- EGO (Environmental Guardian Online): A symbiotic neuro-muscular bionetic implant, EGO alters its host at the genetic level, providing encyclopedic heads-up intelligence, while simultaneously unlocking and managing corporeal-maximization, or EGO Powers. Many Varden personnel utilize EGO which provides the user with four short timed psionic like abilities that can be used on the fly and with very little concentration. Those abilities are blur, cloak, decoy, and overcharge. EGO sharpens the senses, provides easy communication between members in the same solar system, provides access to a database of knowledge, a heads up display, and an assistant AI among other small perks.

So begins...

As news of the surrender spread through Aschen space, people began to spill out into the streets of Caprica City and the city would suddenly become rocked with dissent. Not of the current government, but it's decision to place the Aschen people at the mercy of an uncertain future.



Thick black plumes of smoke seemed to tower over what was once a modern city, gleaming with glass skyscrapers. On the ground the people rioted, and they looted, smashing windows and stealing goods from within the buildings.

"We're all doomed!" One person shouted, before he unloaded his plasma pistol into a window. Despite all the rioting, it seemed the CPF or the Caprica City Police was nowhere to be seen, save for a handful of trashed police vehicles that dotted the cityscape. Even the chain of command within Civil Defense suddenly broke down as the populations of Caprica City took to the streets.

Roving gangs of marauders patrolled several districts of the city, while the meek and timid denizens cowered in their homes, clutching to whatever glimmer of hope they could have. While all around them, it seemed that Langara, and perhaps even the entire Aschen Empire began to descend into a state of anarchy, as police, CPF and the Military desparately tried to maintain control.

"What's happening?"

It could have been a sonic boom, but Roana would never know. As she clutched her room mate, a woman named Kelby Heremosh working at Graystone Industries, her mind reeled. Outside, it sounded as if the whole world had gone mad. Another explosion rocked the street outside. A whimper escaped Kelby as someone opened fire on a building across the street. Would anyone make it out alive? What if the gunner opened fire on them next? Sure, they were behind a couch and whatnot, but what if?

"..EFT IN THE DARK..." An angry voice resonated off of the classy architecture. Even the beauty of Caprica City couldn't mask the ugly that went on tonight. More glass shattered somewhere. Sounds of the riot outside tried to break through the panes of their window. This apartment was a two bedroom, surprisingly cheap for it's location. Kelby and Roana had gotten along beautifully, and life was perfect as can be for the to Aschen citizens. Where had it all gone wrong?

For a fleeting moment, Roana's mind escaped to think of Braxton. Where was he? Was he part of the rebellion? She had denied it from the start, but her father had made mention at it every now and again. No, he was respectable. What would he be doing rebelling against the Divine Shadow? What sounded like a car bomb outside brought her back to reality. She forgot about Braxton, about the Diving Shadow, and thought about living until tomorrow.

Across the room, the phone rang. All displays lit up to reveal it as Roana's mother. She swore, glancing to Kelby, who nodded. Roana army crawled to the reciever, and slammed the button. "Mom?"

"Roana! Baby, darling, are th...." Her heart skipped a beat as her mothers voice faded out.

"Mom are you there?" More gunfire, a bright glow outside indicated something was ablaze. Kelby knocked over a table and slid cover across the room. They had to get out of here, get to safety. Were there evacuations?

"...ff planet, Roana have to get we have to go now off planet we now, Shera, we have to have to get Damnit Sher-" The apartment went black as a particularly loud blast went off outside. Roana and Kelby's eyes locked. Shouts from outside brought them back to reality. Where was their window? Roana's mother and father had been quarreling. Had they been telling them to get off planet? What? Why? Roana nearly couldn't believe it.

"Shit," Kelby slid for her purse, like it would do any good. Kelby was already by the door. Here goes nothin'. They swung open the door, prepared for the worst. Armed with their purses, if it mattered, two Aschen Citizens.

The sounds of explosions continued to rock the city streets as people looted storefronts and ran off with stolen merchandise. Black smoke bloomed and billowed into the skies above the city as roving gangs of people seemed to move like rivers of dredge through the streets of the city. The two citizens would find, once they left that cars had been overturned and people roved through the streets.

"The Divine Shadow's Abandoned us! They surrendered to the Coalition Empire!" An Angry citizen screamed, holding a civilian model plasma rifle into the air and firing off several shots with deafening pops.

"Run while you still can!" He screamed, before he started down the street to kick in a window and make off with whatever he could find. With Civil Defense nowhere to be seen, and much of the Military disoriented from the sudden surrender and lack of command coherency, it seemed the Empire was slowly coming apart at the seams and fragmenting.

El walked down the streets of the city it was chaos in her hands she held an M4 with magazines strapped and donned full combat gear. She was here in deep cover looking for a way to get back at the Aschen for the murder of so many Joes but this was just too good. A she saw a squad of riot police approaching the mob of looters and she raised her rifle not even pausing before opening fire with her explosive tipped rounds as a line of explosions brought a few of the cops down. She smirked before kicking in a door and wandering off through the chaos.

I'm only going after the officials, and I'm doing this for my fallen brothers and sisters. She though, now she needed to find a target worth attacking she wondered where the nearest armory was maybe there was some equipment worth blowing up. She kicked up a manhole and jumped down into the sewer her boots splashing into the murky shin deep water. She pulled up a map of the city and began to look it over.

Roana and Kelby ducked behind a car as they came out the front door, clutching each other close. What were they to do, where were they do go? She started to cough, taking cue from Kelby who had her shirt over her mouth. They didn't want to die like this, not here, not now.

What happened to Caprica City? What was once the beautiful land of glass and steel, sterile and sound against all odds had broken. Was this the descent into madness? Roana squeaked as a civilian fired off a pulse into nowhere. Dragging Kelby to a larger car for cover she cursed under her breath. Again her mind slipped to Braxton. Where was he in all of this? It was at this point she remembered her phone. Roana's heart skipped a beat, glass shattered in the distance.

"Where've we to go?" Roana shook her head in response. Kelby spoke up again, "The Graystone Building," It was only three blocks away, and Kelby was an employee. There were vehicles there, and communication stations. Kelby had an office at her disposal.

Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked the street. The two girls gripped for the car they were closest to as it rocked to their screams. Luckily they had both instinctively gotten low. A car had detonated three down, a wave of chaos and panic rippled through the crowding riot.

More gunfire.

The girls pushed that thought from their mind as they took off down the street, ducking from car to car, headed towards Graystone Industries. Would it still be standing?

A large ship would make it's slow approach on the planet of Langara, the ship was almost a thousand meters long, about five hundred meters wide. The ship radiated different energy, possibly using more than one way of powering itself and it's shields. The shields could absorb amounts of damage that would seem impossible, even with the technology available to the universe.

The ship began to speed up towards the planet, reaching a speed most large ships should be unable to reach. It was unclear to those watching or attempting to intercept ship where the unusually fast spacecraft was going at first.

That was until it reached the skies over Caprica City. Rioting and unrest from the city below was eclipsed by this new ship. Some would probably wonder who had arrived. New Aschen ships? Special forces maybe? Hadante?

It was something new. Something dangerous. Those who could tell that this wasn't aid were already fleeing or awaiting a fight with invaders or police attempting to stop them.

Whoever or whatever was inside the ship didn't seem intent on doing anything. One could wonder if the ship's arrival was just a ploy, keeping people distracted from something bigger.

The door to Stryfe's office would open quickly, a tall woman in heavy black armor standing aside to let her leader's guests in.

Stryfe was seated behind her desk as usual, a flock of young men and women in suits around her. "Tell Sonia we'll throw money at her if she can get it working." Stryfe told the young people.

"Take a seat!" She called out to her guests, "Okay, roaches, scatter." She said, shooing off her assistants. The armored at the door waiting until they were all out before shutting the door.

John Rosenthal nodded. "I am sure. The Varden are here at least as long as it will take to see the mandate completed. Introductions are in order and then down to business." He motioned to Vena. "Fleet Admiral Vena Kenshi in command of the Varden Expeditinary Theater in SOL.", he said before motioning to Aaric. "Admiral Aaric Arland, second in command of the VET in SOL. The conversation is being conferenced in with Admiral Rye Apis, second in command of the Varden Expeditionary Fleet currently at a location in deep space." He motioned to his own chest. "John Rosenthal, councilmen.

He continued on. “To get things started we have to know what you know of us so we can fill in the blanks.”

"The universe is so big that no one really has a right to say they are a big player.

Our first encounter with Terra and the Aschen happened more or less than a year ago...", John said and then was interrupted by Aaric.

Your planet was being glassed by the Aschen.”, he said and then turned to John. “Sorry councilmen.” John just motioned for him to continue. “Shortly after there was a council hearing.

John Rosenthal nodded. "The mandate that myself and the other council members put down had the goals to defend Terra from enemies both foreign and domestic and to assist in the reformation, organization, and re-establishment of the Terran National Government when needed.

"Indeed." The Persian mercenary said, "So, even with the change in regime, you're still on board or are you here to make sure I'm not some evil overlord waiting to happen?" Stryfe asked.

"I can assure you, I'll be a just and noble ruler." Stryfe joked.
