When did it all go wrong ?
They had the most powerful armada of the known Sectors at hand , alongside the feared Death Squadron , a battle station capable of mass destruction , they had the whole Rebel fleet outnumbered and outgunned , and their pathetic infiltration team pinned down on the Moon . This was supposed to be the last day of the Rebellion . Victory was theirs . So what had gone wrong ?
Those were the questions currently crossing the Admiral's mind as he stood immobile on the Executor's bridge , gazing through the transparisteel viewport at the battle raging all around them .
Reports were reeling from the Forest Moon of Endor , stating a massive surprise attack on the Shield Generator Complex launched by the Rebels and their primitive local allies . Their numbers alone had been sufficient to overrun the Base and annihilate any Imperial Resistance .
It had only been minutes since the first reports when all communication with the Endor Base suddenly ceased . Confirmation of what had happened was useless , as everyone witnessed the explosion on the surface of the Moon all the way from the Executor's bridge . And it was all the Rebels had been waiting for … As soon as the shields went down , they lead a run against the half-completed battle station , and a few fighters led by the Millennium Falcon entered the bowels of the gigantic construction .
It was only at that moment that Piett realised that the arrogance of the Emperor was about to lead the Empire to a new disaster , as the debacle of Yavin was repeating itself before his eyes . Yet there was nothing he could do to prevent it from happening , even with most powerful armada in the Galaxy at his disposal . But the Death Star wasn't the sole target of the Rebel Fleet . The bridge suddenly trembled violently , nearly sending some crewmen to the ground . Needless to say it more than enough to pull Firmus Piett out of his thoughts and have the Admiral instantly refocus on the Battle at hand . The Rebels had just managed to take out one of the shield generator cones of the bridge , and it wouldn't be long before they'd come back for a second run .
" Sir , we've lost our Bridge Deflector Shields ! "
" Intensify the forward batteries , I don't want anything to get through . "
And as he turned to face the viewport again , it was with sheer horror that he spotted the said second run positioning itself above the center ridge of the Super Dreadnought , ready to strike at the undefended bridge .
" Intensify forward fire power ! "
Shouted Piett as Green Squadron was still closing in on them at high speed . One of the A-wings was soon shot down , but instead of being vaporized , it started to spin frantically and headed straight for the bridge at ramming speed . Gherant could only yell a few words before turning his back on the incoming fighter and run .
" Too late ! "
This is just a short prologue !
I'm intending to write longer chapter afterwards , or maybe stick to a rather short format , i don't yet know . Please forgive any mistakes or weird sentences , i may be fairly fluent in English , but it is not my mother tongue and i never wrote any FanFic or RolePlay in English before :)
Story is going to become AU in next chapter , and since what was generally considered " canon " recently became " legend " , i can shamelessly rewrite the ending of Return of the Jedi as i see fit without messing too much with the franchise .
I'm also going to bring in an OC of mine , which i have used for RolePlaying in the past few years . I'm personally not fond of FanFics involving OCs , but i imagined this story with her , so i'm going to write it down as is . Please feel free to review , any advice is welcomed :)
