Note: Chapter 4 already? I'll always write new chapters when I have the time, or when I feel like it.

I have made some recent logical changes to this chapter! If you have not read this chapter yet, ignore this note!


"The Beverend has been saved! Thanks to the combined efforts and haste decisions of the crew, they are planning to return to Mon Calamari, and what's left of the Clone Uprising. However, the explosion has damaged the ship's hyperdrive, and Commander Onder has yet to find the scientists aboard the ship! After the ship was restored, the Beverend is now being met by whom, friend or foe? It is up to the Admiral to figure the outcome, in order to survive."


Beverend Bridge:

"Ready the batteries! We don't know what's arriving! Battlestations!" yelled Admiral Moorn.

An alarm sounded, and the bridge lit up red to signify a battle was commencing.

"Admiral! It will arrive in 10 seconds!" yelled the lieutenant.

Commander Onder instead responded, "Prepare fighters and have combatant personnel on standby!"

"Understood, Commander!" said the lieutenant.

The incoming ship finally appeared.

"Corvette Class spotted, Admiral! It carries 4 laser cannons and 2 turbolasers!" an officer yelled.

Admiral Moorn than spoke, "I don't recognize that design, they may be pirates."

"Admiral, that corvette is similar to the Consular Class Republic Cruiser, it was built by the Corellians." Onder said.

"I need to know why and what brung that corvette here. Hail them!" yelled Moorn.


Corvette Bridge:

"Senator! It's the imperials!" yelled the Corvette Captain.

The Senator walked to the front of the bridge and saw what appeared to be a Venator Star Destroyer.

"Flee immediately! We cannot risk 'her' death!" yelled the Senator.

Suddenly, beeping was heard on the bridge, and one of the officers said, "Senator Organa, they are hailing us!"

"Ignore them, we must not pass any chance to escape!" yelled the Senator.

"Sir, we've scanned their ship, their batteries are active, we may be killed!" yelled the Captain.

"We have no choice but to surrender, Senator!" yelled an officer.

The Senator was panicking, he had to make a decision.

"Hide 'her' somewhere safe incase we get boarded, put them through." the Senator replied.

"Understood!" said the Captain.


Beverend Bridge:

"Sir, it's taking them a while to respond to our hail." said the lieutenant.

"I'm curious why that ship suddenly appeared after we were thrown off course." Moorn remarked.

Commander Onder walked towards the Admiral and said, "How are we going to introduce ourselves? The Republic was made into an Empire."

Moorn had realized that the corvette may identify his ship as an Imperial Destroyer, he picked a faction name.

"Should we have to introduce ourselves, we are part of the 'Republic Remnant." said Moorn.

Everyone who heard Moorn's proposal for a faction name was confused, or were shocked.

"Are you sure, sir? If that corvette was sent from the Imperials, we may be compromised." said Onder.

"If we find out they were sent from the imperials, we'll destroy that corvette." said Moorn.

Suddenly, an officer yelled, "Admiral! They have received our hail!"

"Put them through." said Moorn, as he walked towards the holotable.

A figure appeared, who was in formal clothing next to someone resembling an officer.

"State your name, ship designation, faction, and your purpose for being here." Moorn asked.

"I am Senator Bail Organa, formerly a part of the Galactic Senate. This ship is designated as 'Tantive IV.' We are an independent faction, and were on route to a nearby planet until our engines cut short." the figure replied.

"I assume you are imperials, yes? Don't destroy our ship, we surrender." the figure added.

Moorn had expected this, it was time to introduce themselves, whether or not the corvette is part of the Galactic Empire was a coin toss.

"Greetings Senator, fortunately, we are not with the imperials." Moorn replied.


Tantive IV Bridge:

"You're bluffing." said the Senator, as he heard those words.

The hologram infront of the Senator was no other than Admiral Moorn.

Moorn had replied, "This ship is the Venator, 'Beverend,' we have no allegiance towards the Galactic Empire, and are a part of a Republic Remnant."

The Senator was surprised, but he did not believe them, and said, "If you were really part of some 'Republic Remnant,' you wouldn't have told us."

"Unfortunately for you, we are, and that's why your ship will be destroyed if we find out you are part of the Galactic Empire." said Moorn.

Suddenly, the corvette was gripped by a magnetic force.

"Senator! We've been caught in a tractor beam!" yelled the Captain.

"Let us go immediately! We are not with the imperials!" yelled the Senator.

"That's for us to find out, prepare to be boarded, Senator." said Moorn.

Than, a figure resembling a clone trooper commander, with Phase II armor and a pauldron walked beside the Admiral.

"You're with the imperials.. a clone being beside you is proof enough." Organa said.

"We are only searching your ship to prove you aren't, we have no allegiance to the imperials, if you fire upon our boarding party, we have no choice but to fire upon you." Moorn replied.

The hologram faded.

"Do not let them board this ship! Call the 'guardian' fleet to our position now!" yelled Organa.

"Understood, sir! They've been on standby in a nearby sector! They will arrive in two minutes!" an officer replied.


Beverend Bridge:

"We cannot risk letting the imperials know of our existence, board their ship and find out their real intentions!" Moorn yelled.

"Admiral, we cannot open the hangar bays unless we turn off the tractor beam!" an officer explained.

"We have boarding craft on the 11th deck, however they may be obsolete." the lieutenant added.

Moorn needed to act quickly, for he knew that the Corvette may have sent a distress signal already, if worse came to worst, he would have to make the ship hostage.

"Do it quickly!" Moorn said.

"Sir, it'll take us a few minutes, but we'll board that corvette as soon as possible." Onder replied.

"Once we're done with the corvette, set a course for the nearest system." the Admiral added.

Everyone on the bridge replied, "Understood!"


Tantive IV Bridge:

"Senator, our fleet is arriving now!" said the Captain.

Organa had sighed of relief, "Make sure our engines are repaired once the fighting starts!"

The Senator went to the hologram and spoke to a figure who appeared.

"Lieutenant Antillies! We have been tractor beamed by a Venator! Destroy their tractor beam and get us out of here!" yelled Organa.

"Understood, Senator. We are arriving in your sector now. Three Nebulon-B Frigates, 2 Corvettes and the Sundered Heart will secure you."


Beverend Bridge:

"Admiral, we have a medium sized fleet warping out of hyperspace!" yelled an officer.

"It's their reinforcements! Shields up! Prepare the batteries!" Moorn quickly replied.

The lieutenant quickly told the Admiral, "Sir, Onder and his team say the boarding craft isn't functional."

"Damnit! We cannot lead the imperials to our home base! Get the starfighters ready!" said the Admiral.

"Sir, we have to deactivate the tractor beam-" said the lieutenant.

"We've lost our chance, engage them once they're in range!" said Moorn.

As soon as he said those words, the fleet had warped out of hyperspace, launched fighters, and began their attack.

"Those don't look like imperial ships, but they are definitely NOT friendly!" yelled an officer.


Valarity Sector:

"Both the Beverend and Rebel Fleet were in the Valarity Sector, this setting covers the entire battle between The Sundered Heart's Fleet and the Republican Venator."

PA: "This is not a drill, all pilots report to your fighters, prepare for combat! Non-essential personnel report to your designated safezones!"

14 clone pilots were jumping into their ARC-170 starfighters and prepared to take off, alongside many other bomber and fighter squadrons.

Crew members were signalling the fighters for take off, the squadron exited the hangar bay, and the clone pilots were about to face what would eventually turn into 'The Rebel Alliance.'

One of the fourteen pilots was designated as squadron leader, he began to speak on his squadron's comms, "All pilots, this is Reaver, we must take out the flagship immedately! Shawl Squadron on me!"

The fighter squadron approached an enemy unit of X-Wings, and began their attack.

A republican bomber squadron targetted the "Sundered Heart" and prepared to fire their torpedoes.

"Target their engines! Deploy torpedoes!" yelled the Squadron Leader.

Suddenly, the corvette fired upon the squadron, with a large hail of anti-craft turbolasers.

"Break off!"

"We can't hold on!"

"I've lost my engines!"

...were the words of the squadron pilots, followed by yells and screams as they were annihilated by the Sundered Heart.

On the Beverend Bridge, Moorn was running out of options.

"Their technology is far surpassing ours, we can't get a single hit on their flagship!" yelled the lieutenant.

Onder had arrived on the bridge and told Moorn, "Admiral, we must retreat now! They will rip us to shreds!"

Moorn replied, "We are alone, and the hyperdrive is disabled, we won't be able to outrun them."

An officer began yelling, "Admiral! Enemy bomber squadron on our port side! They're targeting our combat bridge!"

"Brace!" yelled the Admiral.

Onder and Moorn were on the navigational bridge, meaning the bridge next to them was being targetted by a rebel bomber squadron.

The torpedoes hit the bridge, and a loud explosion was heard from the impacts.

"The combat bridge's shields are under 20 percent! We will begin experiencing hull damage if we don't do something quickly Admiral!" an officer yelled.

"Bring the ship about and recall our fighters! I have an idea!" yelled Moorn.

Shawl Squadron was receiving heavy losses, they were down 5 pilots with 9 left.

Shawl 4: "We're getting no hits on their frigates, sir!"

Shawl 7: "Damnit, were we sent out on a suicide mission?!"

Bridge: "All squadrons, recall, return to the hangar bays immediately!"

Reaver: "We're retreating?!"

Shawl 2: "We've lost half our squadron! We need to avenge them!"

Shawl 3: "Sir, there's an opening in that frigate!"

The pilot recognized a fatal flaw in one of the Nebulon-B Frigates designs.

"When the Nebulon Frigates were first used, they were experimental and were not designed for major space battles at the time, meaning they were very fragile on their base hull." -Narrator.

"What are you doing?!" yelled Reaver.

Shawl 3 had flew directly into the middle section of the Nebulon-B Frigate, this severely destroyed the reactor, causing the frigate to experience a colossal explosion.

One of the Nebulon-B frigates, exploded.

On the bridge of the Sundered Heart, Antillies had watched the explosion from his bridge.

"Lieutenant! We've lost a frigate!" yelled an officer.

"Those imperials will pay for this! Send another bomber squadron and destroy their bridge now!" Antillies replied.

"Our next deployment will be in 3 minutes!" said the officer.

On the bridge of the Beverend, Moorn and his ship continued to receive heavy losses.

"Admiral, we've taken out one of their frigates!" an officer said.

"That's impossible, their shields outmatch ours!" the lieutenant spoke.

The Admiral still did not see any hope of victory, and said, "We're outnumbered and outgunned, we have to leave as fast as possible."

An officer had ran to the Admiral, "SIR, TWO DESTROYER-CLASS SHIPS ARE ENTERING OUR SECTOR!"

"More?!" yelled Admiral Moorn.

Onboard the bridge of the Tantive IV, Senator Organa and Lieutenant Antillies were discussing something via hologram.

"Senator Organa, we are detecting two ships heading towards our sector." said Antillies.

"Are they yours?" Organa questioned.

"Unfortunately, no. We have identified them as Destroyer-Class ships, we can assume that Venator has brought it's reinforcements." he replied.

"Damnit, what options do we have?" said Organa.

An officer ran up to Lieutenant Antillies and whispered into his ear. Afterwards, the Lieutenant began to speak,

"Senator, they are arriving now." said the Lieutenant.
