Summary: Halo SW crossover. 5 yrs after the destruction of the Prophets' Covenant, the New Covenant consisting of the Sangheli, the Legkolo, and the Ungoyy has made peace with the UNSC, though relations are admittedly shaky, due to the UNSC rebuilding it's empire. Then something happens that will strengthen their unity. The Empire never really cared about the UN-Covenant war, until Darth Vader decides to capture Earth, because it had vast natural resources and it was perfect for constructing the third Death Star far from the prying eyes of the Rebel Alliance. On the way, Vader wants to subdue the New Covenant. But what he doesn't realize is that the Sangheli are no pushovers, and Earth's inferior weapons may be more dangerous than he thought.
Chapter 1
Year 2557, December 17, 1316 hrs Earth Standard time
Avenger-class Imperial Frigate "Conqueror"
On Approach to Sangheli Homeworld Forunpo
"Captain, we have the Covenant planet in visual range," said a gray-uniformed operative.
Captain Gran Reem, a middle-aged man, walked towards the bridge's plastisteel view port. "Magnify," he barked.
The planet seemed to jump towards them. It was beautiful, Reem had to admit. Then he noticed something in orbit. He said "Magnify that object in orbit." It was a ship. A strange, silver elongated-teardrop shaped thing. The helmsman interrupted his thoughts.
"Sir, we are within their sensor range."
"Hold position," said Reem. As soon as the Conqueror stopped, the alien ship left orbit and accelerated towards them.
New Covenant Destroyer "Holy Blade"
"It looks like a Human ship, Arbiter," said the Elite at the helm.
The Arbiter was worried. It couldn't be a Human ship. They didn't get that big. By the gods, it was three times as large as Holy Blade. But if it was Human, there was no need to worry; the alliance had seen to that. So why was he worried?
"Try to contact them with the Human bandwidth."
"Arbiter, they are using our bandwidth."
This was strange, he had to admit. "Put them on the main holotank."
"Sir, they have opened a channel."
"Put them on," said Captain Reem. When the image came, he tried not to show too much disgust at the alien face and the four mandibles. But, however grotesque the face was, the deep voice that emanated from the holo's speakers sounded very educated.
"I am the Arbiter of the New Covenant," it said. "Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"
Reem took a deep breath and replied, "I am Captain Gran Reem of the Imperial frigate Conqueror. I am under orders from the Emperor, the leader of the Galactic Empire, to find the location of a planet called 'Earth'."
The creature who called himself the Arbiter had a look of surprise on it's face, which quickly passed.
"Let me speak with your 'Emperor'," it said.
