Bringing down his blade on the officer, Storm followed up with a slash of claws towards the imperial's throat.
OOC
I'll use Reactive Claws. Cathar special ability. Once during encounter when I hit with melee weapon I can make a free claw attack against the same target. Claw +8, 1d6+3.
The officer manages to avoid Storm's claw, dodging out of the way at the cost of a tear in his uniform.
Wes' shot destroys the barely-functional droid on his right easily. (16 HITS, 15 damage).
The remaining three war droids move to surround Zenith, supporting each other in setting up one to shoot her. It takes a very well-placed shot (31 HITS for 10 damage), but she absorbs the shot with the Force (negate energy; UtF check can't fail).
"I do believe that you have now been scratched. Do surrender, it would be quite unfortunate if the only imperial with a sense of humor were to die." Istara says to the officer, grinning at the man in the midst of the battle. She used the force to give the words extra emphasis.
"I suppose. Mind you, my surrender -- and that of those under my command of course -- isn't going to do you much good." He said, then called off the droids with a wave.
"I think your engineer should be well on her way to answering that." He said. "Besides, I believe the Republic adheres to the conventions that state prisoners are not required to disclose more than name, rank, and serial number. So, for the record, I am Commander Garin Castle, Imperial Navy, HZ7345-01256-NT1267, master of the Nebulon-C frigate ISS Shrike."
"Force, I love hypocrisy," Rosa remarks at the captain's statements. "I imagine if we were the ones caught you'd be overseeing the torture yourself. No matter, take them into custody," she says. She removes her comlink and contacts the marine squad investigating the rest of the ship. "Squad, report."

"As long as you remained in the custody of the Navy, or in a regular POW facility, you'd have little to worry about. It's only if Imperial Security decided you were... interesting... that things would become... uncomfortable. Nothing to be done about it, though. The Sith and the Moffs control the Imperium, and Imperial Security is very much their instrument, not the Navy's." Cmdr. Castle said.
"We've had a few skirmishes with battle droids, but no fatalities. Nothing interesting here, though." The Marine squad leader reported.
"This whole situation reeks of trap," says Wes as he keeps himself in an overwatch position, while letting the others do their work and only offering his jack-of-all-trades aide as needed. "About as big of a pile of bantha podu as this droyk, frinkin' bastich here is shovelin'."
"I think it would be a good idea if the ship's systems and logs were checked over for surprises of an explosive nature before anyone else from our ship comes aboard." Istara suggests, nodding toward Saricia.
At the officer's surrender, Storm simply ceases his assault, deactivates his blade and takes a relaxed crouch next to the imperial.

At Rosa's command Storm extends his hand, silently asking for the officer's pistol. Assuming he complies Storm will proceed to cuff the man. Apologies commander, but you understand the regulations. He says to the imperial.
"Agreed," Rosa says as she pulls out her comlink once again. "All Republic forces head back to the shuttle," she orders, repeating it one more time for certainty. She turns to the other Imperials. "Disarm and keep in front of us," she tells them.

"We've just captured the first Nebulon C frigate that the Republic has ever encountered and we are now going to abandon her and let the empire reclaim her?" Istara asks mildly. "Is she set to blow up?" not bothering to add on the 'or have you just gone nuts' she was clearly thinking.
Closing her eyes, Istara tried to get a read on the situation in the force wondering if she hadn't been right about the ship being set to blow. (taking 10 vs DC 15 = 25)
"It's going to try to ram Taelros. And it's going to deactivate unnecessary systems to get the power to do it -- and that includes artificial gravity and life support, which means it will kill us when it starts accellerating." Saricia said. "If I understand the program correctly, the program's triggered automatically when certain parameters are met, and not even the ship's commander can override it. I'm not sure if we should advise Commander Cyn to wait for us to get out before he starts firing on this ship again."
It sounded like machinery was coming to life all through the disabled warship, punctuating the engineer's statement.
"Tell the Taelros to make a micro-jump to the edge of the system. I doubt the auto-pilot of this thing is good enough to calculate new jumps. It will probably orient on the new position and head there. Give us time to disable the engines or breakthrough the programming."
