Shanas POV

Zygeria

"Keep moving girl!" The tall bruiting captain yelled as the doors to the ship opened. The chains around my neck, wrists and ankles clattered together as I shield my eyes from the blazing sun, but I do as told and walk off the huge ship, the chains continue to chime with every step I take.

"Shashana stay close." My sister says taking my hand in hers.

"Yes Talia." I say following her down the ship ramp and on the planet's surface, it was rough and hot on my bare feet. I had always heard that Zygeria was beautiful I only never dreamed that would have to see it under these circumstances.

"Move witch." A Storm Trooper ordered shoving me forward; I almost lose my balance but thankfully Talia catches me. "You hear me." the trooper shouts again at me. "Move along."

Seeing how we didn't have much of a saying in the matter we move, I was dressed in the same attire as the rest of my sisters a long red robe that covered my entire body, head and face only our eyes were viable.

"Karma, Crystal, Jera, Mercy, Shashana stay close to us." Talia orders us as we enter the city, I hold my breath and close my eyes hoping that this isn't real, but it is very real. Dothamir is so far away from Zygeria it seemed like I would never make it home.

"Where are you taking these witches?" A guard asks as we approach the palace gates

"I have business with the king and queen. They are paying me for these Dothimir girls; I have a notification from their majesties. "The Captain grins through his disgusting yellow teeth showing the guards the contract. They nod and let us pass. How did this happen? How were they able to overrun us so easily? The Empire took Dothimir so easily and without reason we were neutral, we benefit no particular side. Yet somehow the Empire saw us as a threat, a threat that needed to be dealt with. So they invaded us with their tanks, weapons and soldiers. Many of my sisters were either captured or just killed right in front of me like mother Tessmaz who died in my arms. I have no idea how many of my sisters survived escaped many may have been sent to be sold on other planets sold into slavery…disgusting. What was going to happen to me what would I have to do? I was terrified and I could see that my sisters were as well, we walked side by side shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand we walked down the streets together.

Storm Clone Trooper 1486 POV

Another mission another raid, how much time will this cost us….how many lives? My presence had been requested on the bridge for another assignment in the next hour. I snap off my helmet on and lay on my bed in the barracks. I have a pretty basic set of morals, obey the Empire that's why I was created that is my purpose, and follow orders. So why do I feel so empty inside? Come on get those thoughts out of your head, the Empire is my home, I know nothing else, I wouldn't be here without them. I'm a soldier; I follow orders, that's it. I snap out of my deep thoughts, I was told that we were heading to a planet named Beltron, I've never been there before and to do what exactly I'm not entirely sure, doesn't matter we troopers have a code of conduct, follow orders and….and that was it, that's all we are suppose to do. I'm a clone, not one of those volunteer Troopers. Few Clones were still grown after order 66 was put into effect, I was the first shipment in a new breed of Clone Storm Troopers or CST as we call them, my cereal number is 1486 which was printed on my right forearm.

I spent the next hour laying in bed and looking through the holo net reading about small acts of rebellion going on throughout the galaxy. Why would people do things like this? Don't they know that the Empire is only trying to spread order throughout the galaxy? Or is that the thing that's wrong? No it can't be can it? Why am I thinking these things? Is the Empire really doing good? No we're protecting no oppressing. I can't think straight, I needed air. I left my room along with my armor to clear my head. I didn't feel right, my head was buzzing so loudly, why won't this stop? My head begins to clear when my holo disk goes off; I pick up the devise and activate it. "Admiral Devol." I stand at attention as an image of an elderly man appears.

"Commander, your presence was requested on the bridge 10 minutes ago, you can't keep us waiting."

"Understood sir I'm on my way." I shut the devise off and head back into my room to suit up, I load my guns into my holsters and secure my helmet around my head then make my way to the bridge my head starting to feel slightly better.

"Commander on deck!" My man snap at attention saluting me, I give a soft nod acknowledging their welcome.

"Commander, it's good to have you back."

"Glade to be back Admiral." I reply to my dear old friend.

"I'm pleased that all of you could make it here with such readiness." The Admiral announces addressing me and my men. "Troopers, I would like to present Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Beuro. He and his men have been monitoring Beltron for the past 3 weeks, therefore he shad be the commanding officer for this mission."

Everyone on the bridge is silent when Agent Kallus steps forward, my blood instantly goes cold. "Good evening Gentlemen. I won't bore you will pleasantries and I'll get right to it." His voice was bold and deep, his face was square and flat, but his eyes were cold and sharp, he's clearly seen a lot of action. Maybe more than I have. "My men have evaluated a storage base on the planet's surface that has been occupied by protesters against the Empire. They've stole medical supplies from many of our transport ships and distributing them to towns. We are storm the base and arrest the protesters for crimes against the Empire, any questions?" I clear my throat and step forward. "Yes Commander?"

"Sir, what if our forces are met with resistance once on the ground?"

"Then you have permission to kill on sight Commander. now everyone to the hanger we depart in 5."
