Chapter 7
"What Empire? We are the Empire."
9 ABY The "Veteran"
POV: High Admiral Teradoc
I awaited orders from Thrawn, one officer I highly disliked because of his species. We imperials had mostly only Humans in our ranks. Thrawn looked like a human but was a Chiss. And some disliked him because of that. However I joined Thrawn to destroy the New Republic. Once this is done I'll leave his Empire and form my own.
After waiting for around 10 more minutes Thrawn showed up on the Holoscreen.
"Teradoc, I have a task for you."
"What is it?"
"Admiral Rogriss defected yesterday to the Republic. He is currently at Utapau overseeing the construction of MC90's. Your mission is to capture or kill Rogriss and destroy the shipyards"
"It shall be done " I answered one last time before be disappeared.
"Commander, head for Utapau at once."
"Yes sir."
The Fleet jumped into lightspeed and was to arrive at Utapau in 7 hours. I decided to use this time on studying. I headed to the turbolift and pressed on the button which said "Level 77". That's where the Officer's Cabins were. Mine, Commander Felue and Captain Vox. Both of them were elite in the Empire.
The lift finally arrived at level 77. I grabbed my pin and unlocked the door to my quarter. The quarter consisted of 3 Rooms. Bathroom, Living room and Bedroom.
I closed the door and headed to my bedroom where my desk was. There I studied on Rogriss. I eventually found out he's a coward and will retreat if he sees a larger force. Even if his is stronger. The fleet I commanded had 6 Star Destroyers, 1 Battlecruiser which was where I was and 2 Secutor's. We had no Interdictiors. This was a problem.
"Commander, exit lightspeed and call up two Interdictiors." I called him on the Comms.
"Sir." He responded in acknowledgement.
The fleet exited Lightspeed at the Mustafar System. An Imperial controlled world. This was the Headquarters of a new ally that Thrawn was very secretive about. Namely a new Sith. Only the Members of the Imperial Council knew of him.
Darth Suege. He was a force sensitive Sith Assassin during the Civil War but now. He is a Sith Master.
I contacted Admiral Borren via Holoscreen.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Borren, I need to borrow two Interdictiors from the fleet. I need them for my hunt for Admiral Rogriss."
"Aslong as you return them in 10 Rotations." He demanded.
"Very well." I finished off the conversation with Borren.
The two Interdictiors joined the fleet and we hyperspaced to Utapau. The System where he believed he was.
"Sir, we're approaching the Utapau System. Shall we prepare all fighters?" Captain Vox asked.
"Yes. Have all fighters ready but don't deploy until I give the order."
Time Skip
The Fleet arrived at Utapau. To our surprise the blockade was larger. 10 MC90's and behind one Mark III Star Destroyer. It had to be Rogriss. He even had the latest type of Star Destroyer so he had a clear advantage.
We immediately opened fire upon the Republic. Their MC90's seemed stronger than what Thrawn said. He was able to defeat them easily.
We were taking heavy loses and I almost gave the order to retreat until I realized that I had a Stealth Cargo Shuttle designed to transport elite troopers into planets. I decided to load it up with highly explosive materials. We then sent it to Rogriss's Star Destroyer. My plan went just as I predicted. And BOOM.
The Star Destroyer blew up in rainbow colours and debris quickly hit the MC90's which damaged them heavily. One MC90 was even unlucky and got one in the bridge leading to the destruction of it.
The Republic fleet was on the run. We had defeated them. The Interdictiors returned to Mustafar and I proceeded to destroy the Shipyards. We then sent our ground forces to take Utapau.
POV: Chancellor Mon Mothma
Word came of Rogriss's death. He was a defector from Thrawn's Empire and was able to help the New Republic. When his death came. I knew the Empire had no mercy. They just blindly followed orders. Most of them did anyways.
A/N:
And that's it for Chapter 7. Let me know if you liked it or hated it!
Also, to better understand this fanfic I decided to explain how much is controlled by every faction.
New Republic: 57%
Thrawn's Galactic Empire: 23%
Hutt Clans: 7%
Mandalore: 3%
Also. Yes. Mandalore and the Hutts will come in this story.
PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 8:
The ground was shaking. Everything I heard were explosions and blaster fire. After a while the explosions stopped. Only thing I heard was if a large foot stomping.
I exited my house and saw a huge mechanical beast. A Walker. I realized the Empire was invading us.
