The Cyrin Chronicles
Book One
A New Hope
It is a period of civil war. Striking from a hidden base, Rebel spaceships have scored their first victory
against the evil Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies intercepted the secret plans for the Death Star, a
battle station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Knowing that the stakes are high, Padme
Amidala has sent one of her servants to bring the plans to the Rebel base, with a stop along the way to pick
up someone who can help restore balance to the galaxy...
Chapter One
Battle Over Shili
A small Hammerhead cruiser flew over the planet Shili, pursued by a Star Destroyer, the pride of the Imperial Navy. It
returned fire on its pursuer, but had its communications dish destroyed. Further hits took out the engines. With no way
to escape, Rebel soldiers drew blasters and ran to defend the airlock. They took their positions. A young Togruta girl
glanced at the escape pod room, and ejected a disc from the computer. She ran to the nearest pod, then glanced
outside the door. A loud sound was heard, and she got into the pod, launching them all. The Star Destroyer fired on all
but hers. She managed to land on the planet safely, without any further pursuit, due to the Empire being preoccupied
with her ship. On board, the Rebels watched the airlock, pointing their blasters at it. All of a sudden, the door blasted
open, and stormtroopers began pouring in. They opened fire, and the Rebels returned fire, taking out a lot of
stormtroopers, though there were casualties on their side as well. When the last trooper had fallen, the Rebels began to
pull back, when a hissing sound was heard. They faced the airlock, and saw the red blade of a lightsaber, illuminating a
figure in red armor, with a frightening mask. The rebels opened fire, but the figure deflected the shots easily, taking out
many Rebels with very little effort. The last Rebel tried to run, but the figure threw the lightsaber at him, impaling him
in the back. She drew her saber out of him, as more stormtroopers ran in. "Lady Cyrin, we detected several escape
pods going to the surface of the planet. Shall we pursue them?" Darth Cyrin faced the trooper. "No. They are of little
consequence. Let them remain on the planet. It will be their prison. Search the main computer for the stolen plans. We
cannot allow them to fall into the hands of the Rebel leaders." The stormtrooper saluted, and ran down the corridor,
while Cyrin went to find the captain of this vessel. Said captain was running towards her, blaster ready. He never fired a
shot. She used the Force to pull the blaster from him, and him towards her outstretched hand. She gripped his neck,
holding him over the floor. The trooper she had sent to look for the plans reported back. "The Death Star plans are not
in the main computer." Irritated, Cyrin faced the captain. "Where are those transmittions you intercepted? What have
you done with those plans?!" The man began to choke out his next words. "We intercepted no transmittions. This is a
consular ship. We are on a diplomatic mission!" Cyrin was not impressed. "If this is a consular ship, where is the
ambassador?" The man died just then. She threw the body to the ground. "Commander, tear this ship apart until you've
find those plans! And bring me the passengers! I want them alive!" Little did she know that her target had already
escaped.
