I don't own Star Wars or RWBY
Any resemblances to people or persons is a coincidence.
The cruiser exited hyperspace, the stars returning to pinpoints of light instead of streaks across the infinite horizon. Admiral Winter Schnee stood overlooking the bridge of her heavily modified personal Venator class Star Destroyer 'The Ever Resolute' many other Imperial officers thought she was insane for using such an old destroyer model but she was known for not giving much weight to others opinions and she had shown on several occasions had found great success in the older smaller destroyer where most had transitioned long ago to the Imperial class Star Destroyers.
She had proven her skill over and over in the outer and mid rim hunting pirates and isolated rebel splinter cells. The Ever Resolute had been set up to carry almost 400 tie fighters, bombers and other models, this had given her the flexibility to smash these uprisings and pirate fleets. She would never claim all of it as her own success exclusively as her own, her younger sister Weiss had been in charge of her fighter wings and had proven her skills as well. The sisters had made a name for themselves as some of these most skilled officers against the rebellion in the empire.
Now they found themselves hunting for their prey near Bespin searching due to rumors of increased rebel activity in the region. Winters small fleet had been sent to quell any threats they found in the region. Her ship serving as the flag ship along with its sister ship 'The Calm Strength' and an Interdictor class cruiser, three smaller Arquitens cruisers and an assortment of support vessels.
Their arrival was far less noticeable than if an Imperial class and its fleet had been sent and the Emperor wanted this to work so he had deemed it best to send his most Rebel hunting fleet to deal with the insurgents.
Meanwhile on the other side of the system the former pirate gang turned Rebels known only as The Roses of Freedom. The group had undergone several different forms and leadership, but it was now being led by a pair of sisters as if to counter the Imperial fleet that had arrived. The Xiao Long sisters had taken over from their parents as the leaders of the group and had turned it into its current form as a rebel cell trying to overthrow Imperial domination of the galaxy at large. Yang Xiao Long the elder sister led the hit and runs on the ground, the fighters in space battles and handled most of the recruitment and guard for their base. Ruby Rose-Xiao Long the baby sister handled commanding most everything else and wa regarded more or less as the leader of the group overall. Though some special duties were left to Yang's fiance Blake, primarily spying, and anything else that could be considered as shady since Ruby was too paranoid and skittish for those kinds of jobs and Yang too loud and hot headed, so everyone decided it was for the best that Blake handled it. Their group had evolved and grown in sophistication now they were in a strong position. Adding ships, troops and supplies growing now they were beginning to gather allies and deals.
Unaware of the Imperial task forces arrival in system Ruby was busy typing away at a terminal in her hideout preparing some new leaflets to distribute at a rally soon, hoping to get more recruits since their forces were starting to get big enough to need to radically arm up since it was only a matter of time until Imperials noticed them. Her Sister and Blake were busy at a meeting with some local smugglers to secure them more blasters and thermal detonators for the raid on the Imperial fuel facility in a few weeks, they needed to cripple the Imperial forces abilities to stay in system and operate their ships before the enemy could establish a large presence, the local garrison was already enough of a hassle the last thing Ruby needed was a fleet from the Empire to come and start making their operations more difficult.
