Chapter ONE-

It was silent as Admiral Jagen Talon sat back in his confortable captain's chair at the head of the old,but still powerful Victory-Class Star Destroyer,the Avenger. The five-foot tall muscular 45 year old sat sloppy as he waited for Darth Vadar's Supirior Class-Super Star Destroyer. He sat and watched the empty space infront of him. A man below him, typed,and anounced that "un-identified" ships were coming at the point Lord Vadar's ship was supposed to appear.

"Whats going on?" Talon said as numerous beeps and noises alarmed him.

"Sir!" An imperial commando yelled as he walked and positioned himself infront of the Admiral.

"Arkanian interdictor vessels!" He screamed.

Admiral Jagen smilled,and started pushing buttons on his arm rest.

"All positions,all ships,level one battle-stations!"

Outside,Jagen's 9th fleet, commposed of 10 Destroyer-class Star Destoyers,5 Avvenger-Class star destroyers and 1, ancient Republican-Class-Victory-Class Star Destroyer. The entire fleet moved into position, Jagens all red flag-ship,his Victory-Class,being at the head of the enormous fleet.

"Their coming in in t-minus 10 seconeds!" An other commando said out loud.

"9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-Their here!" He screamed.

5 Arkanian Interdictor Battle ships appered out of nowhere. All gold,with red and silver lineing,the fleet admiral knew that he just wasent going to lose a single ship.

"All ships,fire missiles and turbo lasers!" Talon yelled as all of the Star Destroyers fired millions of missiles and blasts tword the small but formidibal fleet.

Talon almost forgot about the TIE-Fighter squadrens,which he had already put on stand-by an hour before.

"Launch about half of your TIE-fighters and launch a quarter of our TIE-bombers!"

And so they did,he looked at the battle and hundreds of flashes from the TIE-fighters laser cannons.

The Arkanian's did the same and launched their Arkanian-Nelucy star fighters. These small triangular ships matched the speed and meunuverbility of the offending TIE's.

"Lord Vadar." Captian Nita said as he walked up to the menaceing Lord,Darth Vadar,right hand man to the Emperor.

"We have recived word of a battle at our roundevous point.What should we do?"

"Continue on Captain. I wont let a battle with the Rebelion get in the way of my plans." Darth Vadar anounced.

"My lord," Captain Nita started, "They arent fighting the Rebelion."

"Then who!?" Darth Vadar yelled as he turned around,his menaceing breathing getting louder and faster.

"The Arkanians,my lord."

One Destroyer class ship exploded in space on the side of Captial Talon,who pounded on his arm-rest.

"Damn Arkanians! Fire berrage!" Talon screamed.

All of the Star Destroyers fired an end-less amount of missiles and blasts.

"Sir...I think we have a problem!" an commando anounced,scared.

"Arkanian boaring vessels,coming in fast!"

Hundreds of small circular vessels sped past the Imperial fleet. To the crews and the Admiral's surprise,those vessels landed on the Star Destroyers.

"All Storm-Trooper platoons,prepare for combat! Safe guard all enterances and exits through out the ships!" Through out all of the fleet thousands of Storm-Troopers mobileized and loaded their blaster rifles and aimed tword the doors.

The Admiral took out his own,20 year old Republican Clone Trooper DC-15s blaster pistol,designed as an emergency side arm,the weapon was designd to be small,portable and deadly in close-quarters.

The entire crew of the bridge gasped as the heard foot-steps over them,then the sound of blaster fire. Out-side,an even bigger battle was taking place.

To Be continued.
