Year: 19 BBY
Location: Nebula in the Unknown regions
The grace of one of Anakin Skywalker's Venator class Cruisers emerged from Hyperspace, it moved toward a small fleet of three Munificent Class star frigates used by the separatist alliance. On the bridge, a clone soldier approached the ship's captain.
'Sir, we have arrived at the Nebula and are standing by to attack the separatist frigates. Shall I give the order? The clone asked.
'No, we have enough armour on this cruiser to take a small beating from them. I'd like to move in close and use the superlaser on one, let the debris from it weaken the other two and then destroy them both with our Turbolasers.' The captain answered with an excited smile.
'Very good sir' The clone asked and walked away to begin the operation. The captain looked on as he listened to the Venator's engines powering up to full and beginning to push the ship at full speed towards the frigates, in the underside hangar bay clones rushed to their stations. The cruiser began aiming itself upwards exposing it's belly to the frigates as they opened fire on it's armour, their weapons having little effect.
'The tank's ready to fire, do we have permission sir?' Clones asked the captain.
'Wait… Waaiit… Now! Fire!' The captain barked.
The Tank inside the hangar bay charged up and opened fire, it shot a long bright vibrant blue beam of energy at the middle frigate and when the beam made contact the frigate instantly burst into flames and explosions rocked all over it. Chunks of the middle frigate flew out in all directions hitting the other two frigates, the Venator's turbolasers opened fire hitting each remaining frigate and cutting them both to pieces. As the cruiser stopped firing, a massive group of huge Separatist battleships emerged from Hyperspace. Each one contained enough firepower to take on the Venator easily, the captain and his crew all instantly knew they had to hide somewhere.
'Captain! What do we do?!'
'We have to go in the Nebula! It's our only chance! We just have to hope it doesn't have a plasma outburst!' The Venator went at full speed into the Nebula with the Separatist cruisers shooting at it from behind. However, this was not a lucky day for the Venator's crew because the Nebula had one of it's biggest Plasma outbursts ever, vaporising every single lifeform on board and leaving the ship dead in space…
