Hi everyone! If you're reading this AN you're AWESOME! This is my first Star Wars fanfiction ever and my first fanfiction on this website. I hope you all love it. I've been noodling this idea around for awhile so you guys can expect semi-regular updates if you like it. Just as a side note, the first couple of chapters will be slow but it'll be worth it. If you want to see the the crew of the Ghost adjust to present-day Earth technology and Zeb's reaction to all the fanficitons with Ezra as the star, I suggest you have patience. Pretend that you're a Jedi; unless you are already one, in which case that last part you can ignore. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

A star destroyer, known as the Annihilator, slowly moved into position to begin its assault on the moon below it. The moon's only crime: existing. On the bridge of the massive ship Agent Kallus was issuing orders to the many storm troopers under his command.

"I need all available personnel in TIE fighters and non-mandatory energy diverted to the cannons. This moon is to be destroyed within the hour." Agent Kallus looked at a screen to his right then nodded in approval as he saw the energy level of the star destroyer's main cannons increase by more than 200 percent.

Reverting back to his former position at the fore front of the bridge, Agent Kallus deliberately breathed in and exhaled maintaining a calm expression outwardly while trying to conceal his internal rage. One unsuccessful attempt to capture the rebels had convinced his superiors that his talents would better suit the Empire by blowing up inconsequential moons belonging to planets that had crossed the Empire.

"All units ready for launch awaiting your command, sir." The voice brought Kallus back to the situation at hand. Before assenting to the attack, a beeping from a nearby computer (don't know what they call them) alerted its attender of a nearby ship.

"Sir, an incoming ship just came out of hyperspace and is heading directly towards us."

"High alert, could be rebels. Launch all TIE fighters and create an attack formation facing the inbound ship." Agent Kallus issued the orders while putting his helmet on and running toward the main hanger. "I'll lead this myself." Sprinting now, Kallus hopped into an airlift and sped down to the main hanger. Agent Kallus found his personal TIE fighter and climbed inside, preparing for take off. You won't get away this time rebels. He thought with determination.

The TIE smoothly lifted off the ground as Kallus expertly maneuvered the craft out of the hanger and into open space. Already lasers of red and green were being traded between the Imperial ships and the ship the Annihilator's sensors had picked up. The rebel Jedi and his friends had arrived to be captured by Agent Kallus. He hoped. Joining the fighting frenzy Agent Kallus did not notice the tiny ship that detached from the rebel's ship and flew over the opposite hull of the star destroyer.

"Alright, Kanan, what's this all about?" Zeb asked gruffly crossing his arms with a cross expression on his face. Kanan had called the entire crew of the Ghost to the sitting room (don't know what it's called) and wouldn't say why until they were all together.

"I got a message from Vizago. He said that the Imperials sent a Star Destroyer to blow up the moon orbiting Fether in the outer rim."

"We does he care? After all, he did ditch us at the first sign of the Empire last time." Ezra said from his position next to Sabine who was leaning on a counter off to the side of the medium sized room.
Sabine nodded in agreement."The kid's got a point Kanan, why would Vizago want to mix up with the Imperials anyway?"

"First of all, we're the ones doing the job so Vizago doesn't mind parting with the information." Kanan answered patiently. "And secondly, I asked him the same question."

Hera filled in the rest, eliciting a mildly reproachful look from Kanan. "Vizago trades technology and supplies with the inhabitants of Fether for the precious gems that lace the interior of the its moon. If the Empire blows up Fether's moon, Vizago loses large profit."

"What I want to know," Zeb said, interested in the conversation now that he knew where it was going, "is what a tiny planet like Fether did to the Empire?"

"I can answer that one." Sabine said walking to the middle of the room, knowing that everyone was focused on her. "While I was in the Academy I overheard one of my instructors talking about how the Empire needed more resources to fuel its expansion into the outer rim territories. Fether was the most convenient because officers could be put on the planet to develop the city as well as collect the harvests as they came in. A month after that, I heard a delivery guy talking about how Fether had refused the Empire's presence and that they were going to get into serious trouble if they didn't comply by the Empire's dead-line."

"Well, there's your answer Zeb." Hera said with a faint smile.

Ezra impatiently moved the conversation along by asking the obvious question. "Since it's obvious that we're attacking a star destroyer, what's the plan?"
