Above Kashyyyk
" Admiral, we have fed the Ghost's crew the bait. Now all that is left is for the trap to be sprung. They should be here within the day." The first lieutenant spoke confidently.
" Very good, very good lieutenant," Admiral Segutav chucked, pleased" I Believe this calls for a promotion. You at now a captain. Remember to contact us as soon as you spot the rebels. Over and out" and with that the transmission ended. In the past few days he studied the rebels past. Amazed at what he learned he soon found multiple weaknesses. He came up with the plan he called 'The Final Solution to the Rebel Issue'. As he walked cooly to on to the bridge of The Iron Duke the Bridge Commander yelled " Admiral on deck!" all the officers and troopers snapped to attention. Motioning for them to return to their duties he explained his plan to the commander's of his fleet. " the Nimitz, Queen Anne's Revenge and the Soliceitor will box the rebels in on the west while the Iputor, Rigous and Beirtter will box them in on the east. The Iron Duke will finish the box while multiple Raider-2 corevets intercept the Ghost with ion cannons." He got plenty of 'yessirs' and 'as you wish Admrials'

" Strap in everyone" Hera sounded off. With everybody in their seats she said " 30 seconds out ". As the blue and white streaks of hyperspace bled away a rapid beeping sound came from the terminal.
" Rebel Spacecraft abort your path or be fired upon" a man with a British accent ordered
" Battle stations people, come on!" Hera yelled. As Sabine slid in to the nose gunner seat Chopper beped to Hera telling her that multiple Star Destroyers were coming out of hyperspace as well as something massive. Six Star Destroyers appeared on each side of the Ghost, destroying the two Blockade runners that were sent to help the Wookies. Then as the Ghost turned to jump a massive warship appeared blocking their last escape route.
"Hera what is that thing?" Ezra asked over the intercom.
" I have no clue…" She responded.
" Rebel Spacecraft, this is Admiral Segutav of the Imperial 10th fleet. You will surrender willingly or be captured" The Admiral said, with a noticeable German accent. Two Raider-two's pulled up on each side of the Ghost.
" No, we'd die before surrendering to you imperial scum" Hera spat bitterly.
" Fine then, have it your way. Commander Hacer, Agent Dioxin… FIRE" Admiral Segutav chucked. Before the crew realized what had happened the ship was rocked with multiple ion blasts killing any power on the ship. The Raider on the left pulled back and destroyed the hyperdrive.
Aboard The Iron Duke, moments after the the Ghost is knocked out
" Send my Mandalorian guard unit to capture the ship as well as her crew." The Admiral stated.
Hours later, bridge of The Iron Duke over Lothal
"Ahhh, I'm so glad you could join me. I'm Admiral Segutav Gurral, commanding officer of the Imperial 10th fleet. We just received 6 Victory 2 star destroyers. I'd love to test the orbital bombardment systems." turning to the holo-projector with a smile he said " All Victory-2's report" After all the cruisers called in he gave them a command " Prepare fire upon Capitol City."
