        All was quiet as GA Daemon sat comfortably at his desk. The only sound to disturb this silence was the hissing of the automatic door as CL Junon entered the room, just as the Grand Admiral had asked. He had several maps laid across his table, all detailing several nearby sectors. The Admiral was holding one in particular, the map detailing the sector the Chimaera was now located in. It was this map that the Admiral was mostly concerned about. He laid the map in front of the CL and stretched it out before the two of them.

        “Interesting sector, isn’t it?” asked the GA. “We have scanned this sector over and over, and nothing.” The GA seemed unusually casual this moment.

        “I have talked about it with the Chimaera’s chief navigator several times before, and we still haven’t come to a conclusion.” The specific lack of “something” the two were talking about was infact a literal meaning; there was no star systems, no nebulas, absolutely nothing within this sector. “Sir, I suggest having the Artemis come at once, it’s TIE scouts would perhaps be of use to us.”

        “Very well, then, captain. Send the Artemis at once.” The GA then turned back to his seat.

At the Heutror sector:

The VSD Stalwart had been docked for repairs. Meanwhile, the ship’s two Lieutenants, Idanian and RayCav, along with LC Rhys, were interested in one of the inhabitants onboard this remote station. As the two LTs escorted the LC down the long corridors along the promenade, they were confronted by a very mysterious and dark looking stranger. He had introduced himself as “Lyatrab.”

        “May I interest you in some spare hydrospanners?” the mysterious figure pulled out his cloak to reveal some rather rusty hydrospanners, amongst other various pieces of junk.

        “No thanks,” replied LC Rhys, “but we are interested in some information you may be able to provide.”

        “Ah, perhaps there is something I can provide you with after all!” The mysterious figure then proceeded to race across the promenade in a single, quick action. At that moment, a suspicious look occupied the LC’s face. “RayCav, go and follow him! I want to know what he is up too.”

        With a slight nod, the LT proceeded to do as ordered. He managed to chase the darkly cloaked figure down some long corridors until he witnessed the man enter a dilapidated room. Seeing as he had not been detected yet, RayCav decided to remain until the figure had returned.

Aboard the VSD Striker:

The force of the explosions began to rock the office of Captain Stele. He was nearly knocked off his feet when LC appeared.

        “Sir, Omicron and Kappa have been launched, they are making their strike, although LT Pavz reports in heavy causalities. He recommends additional support.”

        “Fine then, order the Cavalry to launch its fighters in support, but have Monarch and Protector continue to have theirs cover the fleet. Go ahead and send in the frigates into battle.”

        The Striker’s sector group had come under attack by pirate forces. One of their dreadnoughts had all ready collapsed the Monarch’s shields, forcing the VSD to withdraw, leaving its starfighters behind to help cover the fleet. LC was continuing his battle report, “Sir, the Vigilant reports in that it’s doing the best it can to help, although the Stalwart’s in dry-dock. ISD Chimaera reports in it’s too busy in another sector.”

        Just then, an R-41 Starchaser blew out the Monarch’s sensor globe.

        “Sir, the Monarch reports that they will have to enter hyperspace, otherwise, they face destruction. However, if they do so, they’ll leave their starfighters stranded.”

        “Looks like they really have no choice. Order them to hyperspace.”

        “Sir, looks like we’ll have to belay that order after all. A Loranor-strike cruiser like interdictor has just entered the area, identifying itself as Sparrow. It has a Rebel ID signature!”

At the Heutror sector:

        LT RayCav had been waiting for nearly four hours, and began to grow inpatient. Worse still, he had grown sick of the recent smell permeating from the man’s office. After a while, he decided he could stand no more, and broke into the office. Taking his blaster, he aimed with precession at the doorknob and fired. The old-fashioned doorknob-equipped door lost its operating device and immediately swung open from the force of impact, revealing a dead, cloaked body and a bloodstained floor...

Act 2: The Secret

Taking knowledge about the death of Lyatrab, the Rear Admiral Calorn ordained the immediate close of all port of the station, but a Muurian transport are discordance with that resolution.

-"Muurian transport 010-T, take off your engine, the ports of the station are close, your ship can’t leave the station"

-"This is the MT 010-T and we not respond Imperials orders"

-"CP Rhys, we have a situation here, the MT 010-MT not respond our orders"

The CP Rhys intuition quickly what in this ship are the answer of the death of Lyatrab an the secret who incite the tragic event. With the objective of capturing it, he send a TIE Squadron to stop the ship. The SL Dragon Spirit is the first pilot who with his lasers try to stop the Muurian transport, and with two advance missile from the EN Dupuy on his TIE Bomber, the transport lose their engine and any possible to escape.

After the interrogation by the LC Polanski to the crew of the Muurian transport, it’s discovered a design to ambush the VSD Striker. With this kind of information the RA Calorn decide help the VSD Striker and convert the ambush in a rebel defeat.

-"Sir, just the 45% of ours ship can enter in hyperspace"

-"They are enough to defeat that pirate fleet" Confident of his victory, the CP Stele enter in hyperspace ready to destroy his enemies.

In an lonely system with many asteroid, Imperial ships are entering in the are from hyper space, and they don’t know what in the asteroids a rebel fleet, who surpass the Imperials ship 2-1, are waiting to attack and destroy the VSD Striker and their guard.

-"CP Stele! Rebels ship coming to us, they surpass us in number"

-"Launch all TIEs to fight, this is going to be a big battle"

In a demonstration of talent and courage the TIE pilots under CP Stele command, can level the forces in the battle. But that aren’t enough for the victory of the Empire, three new CRS enter to the battle, the falling of the VSD Striker is imminent. "Ok, if the rebel want ours head, they must defeat one by one of us, because we going to fight until the last of ours" . With this word the CP Stele take his personal TIE to fight head to head in the battle.

When two imperial FRG were destroyed, new ship enter to the battle. –"VSD Striker, this is the VSD Vigilant, we going to help you to finish with the rebel menace". The coming of the VSD Vigilant and their guard, invert the balance of the battle, soon the Imperial superiority destroy the pirate fleet, obligating enter to hyperspace to the rest of rebels ship.

After the victory, the RA Calorn, and the CPs Rhys von Pohl, Syrtaras and Calcyon, make a meeting to analyse the information obtained in the battle, and the end in the conclusion of the existence of a rebel base in the same sector where the ISD Chimaera be. One more time, the VSD Striker, Vigilant and Stalwart enter in hyperspace, this time to join with the ISD Chimaera, objective: find the rebel base.

Act 4: The End

On the ISD Chimaera a secret meeting is happening, the GA Daemon and ISB officers are studying a recently information received from the CRKC Artemis –"If this is true, we can give a big hit against the rebels forces"

-"Yes GA, our information was checked, and it’s possible find the rebel base. The report from the VSD Striker was valuable to the discovery."

-"Excellent, it’s time to unite our fleet and exterminate the rebel presence in this sector forever"

After the entering from the hyperspace of the complete fleet under the command of the GA Daemon, in the area where the rebel base are operating, the destiny of the rebel forces was closed. One by one the capital rebel ship was destroyed, the rebel’s fighter defeated by the skill of the imperial pilots.

All was quiet as GA Daemon sat comfortably at his desk, watching the end of the rebel base after an impeccable commanding by himself, the order and peace was restored in the sector.

For the Glory of the Empire!
