The Empire Strikes Back

Chapter One

Rebel Base

It is a time of fear for the Rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, the Empire continues to search for

them, led by Darth Cyrin, who searches for her son with unrivaled eagerness. While the Rebellion completes their new

base, the Empire launches probe droids to search the galaxy...

(Empty sector of space)

An Imperial Star Destroyer gently steered through the stars, launching small objects from its lower hangar. The objects

soared in different directions, one crashing on an icy world in the Outer Rim, and from this object emerged a dark droid,

which began its takeoff to search this world for any signs of the Rebellion.

(Hoth)

A Taun-taun sped across the surface of this icy world, with a rider on its back. Once the rider completed his mission, he

stopped the Taun-taun to make a call. "Echo 4 to Echo 5. Sakowa, you read me?" The girl's voice came over the comm.

"Loud and clear, brother. What's up?" Gakowa sighed. "I just completed my cycle. I'm not detecting anything." Through

the comm, Gakowa heard his sister snort. "There's not enough life on this stupid planet to fill a small village on Shili.

Sensors are in place. I'm going back." Gakowa smirked. "I'm on my way." Gakowa steered his Taun-taun, but

something was scaring it. He used the Force to determine a life-form about ten feet from him. He ignited his lightsaber.

The creature rose into view. Its fur was white, which allowed it to blend in with the snow. Gakowa was not happy, and

steered his Taun-taun away from the creature. The creature pursued, so, in an effort to end this without killing it,

Gakowa fired a shot at it with his blaster, and the creature was hit in the arm. It stopped to nurse its wound, while

Gakowa and his Taun-Taun rode away.

(Echo Base)

Gakowa rode into the base, and dismounted from his Taun-Taun. He clipped the saber to his belt, then faced his sister.

"I was wrong. There are other Life-forms out there." She faced him. "What happened?" Gakowa looked at her. "Some

carnivore. It chased me until I shot it. I'm willing to bet there's more out there." Sakowa nodded. "I'll let General

Reikann know." Gakowa nodded.
