......


"Sir, youre sure about that? Maybe its really only a minor defect."

"Maybe, but we have to be sure about it. We must send a part of our Fleet out there. If it is only a minor defect, they can see it as a Trainings Mission, but if its true ..... then we have to fight them back again. We will send out the Nemesis, Kaph, Polaris and Viper squadron gets a transfeer in the next hours. In 3 days we know more."

Captain Warmaker noddet and after Admiral Three copied more informations about their new Mission to his Datapad, he left his Office and went down to the Cantina in the wardroom. As he enterd the Room, he went to the 2 Squadron Commanders from Kaph and Polaris.

"Morning, you received Threes Message?"

"Ya, we got a transfeer onto the Nemesis, but i dont know why, whats going on?" answerd CWO Denethor

Warmaker opend the certain file on his pad and showed it them.

"What? we heard since years nothing anymore from them and now they are back?"

"We dont know it yet, its only a bit more then a guess, but i still hope that we are wrong. Anyways, after we started, i will hold a briefing to inform the Pilots. till then, keep the Infomrations Classified."

=============================================
few Hours later on  board of the Nemesis - Main Briefing Room
=============================================


"You all prolly wonder why we are here" started Warmaker "a few Days ago, we lost contact with one of our Deep Space Scanner Stations which is located here ...."

The Main Holo Projector showed now a small Station not to far out of the Vectra Systems

"One Day later, we lost contact to another Station which where located here ....and yesterday we lost contact to the third Station, just out of the System."

"Sir, do we have Knowledge what happend?" asked one of the Pilots

"No, we dont received a message from the stations, they send in their normal daily Report and then suddenly nothing anymore. It could be everything, from a simple Com defect till a major assault, which is why we are here."

"Who could be the aggressor if there is one.?"

"Unsure, but the location of the stations, let us guess who it is."

after a click, the Holoprojector showed now the Ssi-ruuvi star cluster

"Ssi-ruuvi? Sir i thought they got complettly destroyd." mentiond another Pilot

"The Chiss fought for years a bloody War versus them as Suddenly Mon Mothma enterd the Systems with her so called Invasion Force. Yes they destroyd their Fleet at least they thought they destroyd them complettly, but what we know for sure is, that they stopped over the Ssi-ruuvi Homeworld. They are not destroyd, defeated, but still there. Thats now years ago, it could be that they managed to build another Fleet or that they had a few Ships in Reserve. However, we are here to find that out. I upload more Informations about our Enemy into your Datapads, you have a couple of days Time till we reach the First Station."

Warmaker looked around before he asked "any more questions? No? ok, dismissed."

The Pilots stood up and went outside, only the Squadron Commanders remaind in the Room.

"As Soon as we jump out of Hyperspace i want to see some patroul flights. Also we need to stay Alerted, the nemesis is under Echelon 2."

Sk8guy and Denethor nodet, then they also left the Room.

"Ssi-ruuvi?" mused Commodore Claw as he paced across the bridge of the Imperial class Star Destroyer Nemesis.  "Surely they couldn't have rebuilt enough to start conquesting again in such a short amount of time." he muttered, trailing off at the end as he saw Captain Warmaker watching him pace.

Warmaker's face was grim as he said, "With entechment, they don't even need willing allies, remember?"  A slight shudder ran down his spine as he went on.  "All they need are enough to start capturing slaves."

Claw nodded to himself and paced back to the command chair.  With a whirl, Claw sat down and cupped his chin in his hand as he thought. Three squadrons aboard one Star Destroyer would make scrambling slower, but it would give a single flag ship an extra and unexpected punch.  Thoughts of the experience of the pilots in the squadrons also quickly ran through Claw's mind as the crews prepared for departure.  He was so engrossed in his pondering, that the presence of a lieutenant at his side went unnoticed.

"Commodore?" the lieutenant said, trying to make eye contact with Claw without bending down and looking like a fool.  When Claw looked up, the lad handed him a data card, snapped a salute, and time and a halfed it off of the bridge.  Claw noticed the Naval Commander in Chief's symbol on the label of the datacard and sighed as he jammed it into the private datapad inserted into the armrest of the command chair.

The familiar jingle of loose bolts, and other instruments sounded as familiar as insect humming in the night to LoneWolf. The Imperial pilot shifted in his newly assigned room onboard the Nemesis and shuddered as a cold draft awoke him. Yawning as he got up, LoneWolf sat up while stretching his arms out wide.
A sensor on the far wall blinked a red light then activated the main lights as it sensed the room's occupant roused. The Veteran simply shrugged as he got up from another restless night onboard the ship.
His feelings warned him, and kept his guard on edge since departing the Atrus. All he could do was simply push his thoughts aside and perform his job.

After dawning his customary black flight suit, he tugged on his gloves and double checked his suit. The heels on his boots clicked on the metal floors as he soon made way to the glassy hangar of the imperial vessel.
The new squadron had been assigned modified tie fighters, the very same ones LoneWolf had grown familiar with in Aegis. Upgraded shield systems, and improved engines. The same duel laser cannons and twin ion engines remained as much of the old body style did. The handling was as smooth as any tie fighter was expected to, and LoneWolf had added a few extra features on his assigned fighter.
[EDITED]
The turbolift had him on the loading levels and he walked over to his familiar friend, he had hunted down the almost scrapped fighter, which had been his first assigned ship in Imperial Navy. After paying a hefty recovery fee the fighter was re-approved as space worthy, and was upgraded with more modern technology. It took even more money to have it assigned to him again, and to add his own modifications ranging from secondary systems to evasion thrusters.
All in all it was good to crawl into the familiar brown leather seat of the fighter. The green lettering and drawings framing his viewport blinked to life as the engines began to whine it's song.
The checklist was automatically checked by his computer systems and he was soon waiting for clearance to launch.
ETA was still 7 minutes to hyperspace drop but LoneWolf was willing to wait it out in his fighter.
He diligently crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes, preparing for battle. It had been a long time since his last encounter with enemies in navy.
Pilots outside began to rustle to their own fighters as the single pilot realized he was the first to be prepared. He simply grinned at the fact and waited to see who would join his squadron channel. The ETA slowly marched down to zero.

[edit: The ISD Nemesis does not have enough room for personal fighters. Each squadron member is required to use their squadron's equipment. ]

Arturus glanced out at the beauty of hyperspace through the cockpit of his Mu-2 Scout Shuttle Fire Whisp.  In another two minutes, he would be back with the VE fleet and would return to active duty after cancelling his resignation that he made two days previous.

"Alright C-5KO when the clock hits zero bring us out of hyperspace"  Art ordered his protocol droid as he leaned back in the luxurious passenger seat he had installed in the shuttle.

"But sir, I dont know how to fly a military aircraft, I am not allowed to involve my self in the utilisation of any piece of military equipment, I am programmed for protocol onl-"

"Shut up and do it or I'll melt your insides down slowly with a very small blowtorch!"  Art screamed at the annoying droid as he laid back and put his feet up on his pilot's seat.  The clock counted down to 10 seconds.  "Ok get ready to pull that lever right there."  Art ordered as he pointed to the hyperspace controls in front of C-5KO.

"Yes sir."  The droid replied reluctantly as it watched the clock and when it hit zero, it pulled the lever as ordered.

"There that wasn't so hard was it?"  Art asked sarcastically as he sat up and moved to the pilot's seat.  The droid got up from the co-pilots chair and began to make its way out of the cockpit.  "Where the hell are you going?"  Art demanded to the droid.  "Sit back down and monitor all frequencies.  The VE navy changes their main communication frequencies every week and unfortunately yesterday was their day to change it.  I have not recieved the new frequency so monitor all frequencies for any sign of VE code."  Art ordered as set a rendevous course with the Nemesis.

"Sir why are you heading for that Star Destroyer, that isnt our main docking area."  C-5KO protested as it worked the radio controls.

"Because you damn useless bucket of bolts, when I informed the VE of my return they ordered me to report there."  Art growled.  The Nemesis looked as though it was maneuvering to make a hyperspace jump.  "God dammit its going to leave the system soon.  C-5KO set the radio to broadcast on all frequencies and set the encryption to standard VE code."  Art ordered as he picked up his headset.  "Attention ISD Nemesis, this is Mu-2 Scout Shuttle Fire Whisp, I request immediate clearance to dock before you leave the system."

"ISD Nemesis to Fire Whisp identify yourself and all passengers on board and identify your orders and business on the Nemesis."  The radio officer onboard the Nemesis replied.

"This is Ensign Arturus, Kaph Squadron, I am returning to my squadron, my only passengers are my five droids and my equipment is merely my personal gear."  Art replied.  A couple of seconds passed.

"Ensign this is Comodore Claw.  Please dock immdiately in the main hanger then report immediately to me!  Also, don't ever again broadcast on all frequencies!"  Claw growled from the Nemesis.

"Sir, I don't think Comodore Claw is very happy with you."  C-5KO stated.

"Thank you for telling me that, I don't know if I could have figured that out without you."  Art stated, his voice dripping with sarcasm.  Five minutes later, the Fire Whisp entered the main hanger of the Nemesis.

    Shazam woke in the middle of the dark night and sat there for a moment.  He pulled on his cloths and walked out of his room. 
    He walked through the long dark halls and found his way to the hanger bay. He put in his code and walked into the bay. 
    Starfighters that had seen the face of battle stood before him.  Many great men and women had died in the name of the empire, and he still had not had the experience of a victory.  He walked up to his starfighter.  It was a simple tie fighter.  But it was new.  Clean of scratchs, burns, gashes and gages.
    "Ssi-ruuvi," he said to himself.  "They will be my first challenge."  The idea of proving himself had been his largest fear.  Proving he was no other member of the squad.  He would be one of the last in the battle.  He wanted to be a factor, not a statistic. 
    He jumped into his tie.  He looked at the displays.  He smiled and left.

"Sir, Ensign Arturus has landed.  The Nemesis is ready to make the jump to hyperspace." called one of the crewmen in the pits of the bridge.  The buzz of the beginning of the mission was making the normally calm deck rather loud.

Claw leaned forward in his chair to try to see who said it, but gave up when a Lieutenant passed in front of him.  "Very well.  Let's get this wedge floating, shall we?  Set course of the Vectra system and haul thrusters."

A chorus of "Aye sir"s floated through the bridge and even more scurrying ensued.  The watchful eye of the Captain followed a random crewmember for a minute or so before moving on.  A warrant officer checked the stability of the engines before moving on to hull integrity.  He passed along his readiness to the next crewmember, which in turn passed along his until the flight officer was finally given the needed confirmations to begin activation of the hyperdrive.

The main viewport showed a vast field of specks, all stars many lightyears away.  With the press of a button, the specks smeared into streaks until all around them turned into a blue-ish white.  "The Nemesis has entered hyperspace." the flight officer reported, more for protocol than necessity.

"Ready or not, here we come." mumbled Claw as he sank back into his chair.  A feeling of dread was forming in the pit of his stomach.  He knew it would take more drinking than he should do on a mission to remove the dread.

Arturus disengaged the systems on his shuttle and got out of ths pilot's seat.  Beside him, his droid was nattering about some ridiculous protocol he had violated.  Art left the cockpit and disembarked the shuttle.

"Droids I will be back to tell you where to have me gear put.  I am sure you can arrange for someone or something to transport it to whatever quarters I am assigned.  I am going to see the Comodore."  Art called from outside the shuttle before turning to exit the hanger.  He was looking forward to another encounter with Comodore Claw.  It gave Art great pleasure to get under the nerves of iron-fisted officers who tried to act touch.  Art knew how to work around people such as the Comodore and enrage them for his own enjoyment.  This was going to be a fun little trip.

The ISD Nemesis dropped out of hyperspace only to enter a debris field. Everything, ranging from large durasteel pillars to imperial credits, filled the immediate area in front of  the Nemesis. The remains of one of the Vast Empire stations were all that was left.
A large chunk did remain intact, a majority of the station that could support itself for only a few short hours.
Most likely a setup to get prisoners, thought LoneWolf as his tie fighter slowly exited the Star Destroyer. His immediate sensors bounced off of every decipherable piece of the station only able to find no hope.
He eased his starfighter a click away from the Nemesis and shut off his engines to wait for everyone to form up.
The area showed no obvious ships to his eyes, but LoneWolf could smell the folly of coming to the ghost station. His senses remained on edge and he almost shot off his laser cannons when Warmaker’s voice crackled through his comm. 

"OK people let’s get our scan of the area and get out of here, we need to hunt down the bastards that did this!"

The Pilot stretched out his arms in front of him and yawned as he calmed himself down. His hands dropped back down to the comfortable controls and he eased his throttle back up.
His feelings still yelled at him through the coldness of space and he could feel the immediate threat of danger. He didn’t want to be the only one worrying, the only thing he could do was shrug it off.

He clicked his comm to activate and reported in, "This is Polaris Five beginning sweep."
