"We're approaching co-ordinates, Captain." came the pilot's voice over the speaker of the Gunship. Captain Theta 1189 (Thane) and his squad had been stationed on the outer-rim sieges until he received a transmission from Jedi Quara Lien "We have discovered an unknown vessel, and we're approaching the ship now, we have tried to make contact but haven't received a reply, there's no telling what is on that ship and we might need reinforcements. I am sending you the co-ordinates, bring your squad to the-…" The image blinked off and came back to life, though the general was speaking, Thane could only here static. He saw the Jedi ignite his light saber deflecting incoming lasers, then the image faded again, this time, it didn'tcome back. Thane readied his squad for the insertion. "Touchdown in 10." the pilot announced. "Alright," said Thane, "You've all been briefed on this, we're looking for General Lien. He could be any where on that ship, so we're going to split up, Sergeant, you've got the port side, the starboard's with me." "Touchdown!" alerted the pilot. "Go, Go, Go!" Thane hit the ground first, activatingthe night vision inside his helmet. "All clear." he reported. The rest of the squad imitated their commander. Thane looked around, no lights, none at all. He proceeded to the air-lock, it seemed to be stuck. "Whoever they are, they sure don't want anything getting in." He thought. "Corporal!" "Yes sir?" "I need a lock smith." "Yes sir." replied the corporal, when he got to the door he told the commander to step back, placed a charge on the door, and took cover. Within seconds, the charge detonated. "Heh, that was cool." The commander signaled his men to move forward. "Good luck Sergeant." "You too." he replied.
