Set between the episodes of Empire Day and Gathering Forces
The planet Lothal
It was a day or night like no other as today marked the 15th anniversary of the rise of the Empire, the fall of the republic and the religion known as the Jedi Order. Today has been marked by the bombing of a new Ti-fighter by Lothal rebels and the quick escape of a Rodian named Tseebo who has vital information as he downloaded a lot of information in his cybernetic implants.
A Caucasian male stands upon the bridge of the Imperial Star Destroyer: The Demolisher, he is dressed in a uniform of an officer of the empire and has armor on as well. His name is agent Agent Kallus and he has been informed that the Inquisitor has gone on to chase and hunt down those rebels, who did the bombing and took the Rodian away. He waited for the Inquisitor's return.
It is still night out as the planetary blockade is not over yet, so the imperial agent folded his arms and stood watch upon the bridge of the Demolisher like an owl swooping down to catch his prey. It is quiet, perhaps a little too quiet he had seen his action from before and these rebels have not been easy to take down in fact very lucky or that Lestat would of died by his hands like his people died a good long while ago as Kallus was there. Suddenly all the alarms go off.
"What is happening," asked Kallus
"Sir," said one of the officers "The engine core is on melt down,"
"Stop it you fool," shouted Kallus
"We can't all computer systems are locked out," said the officer.
"Rebels," growled Kallus as he slammed his fist upon the wall and pressed a button on the intercom "This is Agent Kallus to all imperial forces, evacuate the ship immediately this is not a drill….this is not a drill."
The Demolisher is far enough outside of the city in a meadow area that had landed upon the space port, so the explosion would only cause minor damage. Agent Kallus and the bridge crew ran off to get off the ship as numerous of crew members, storm troopers and all other personnel including Imperial droids made their escape of the space ship by in which the ramp was already lowered all right and in under ten minutes thousands of people had rushed out of the Demolisher
Then away from the space port with dock workers, security officers and other people from the space port as well. Until finally it was completely empty and all of them are far enough away to see the explosion. Agent Kallus stands upon the hill and pondering on what he will say to his superiors, but he will tell them the Rebels had done this. To him and everyone else's surprise the Demolisher suddenly rises upward as the ram is raised and flies away.
That could mean one thing, they have been tricked again. Kallus just frowned in annoyance at this and everyone looked on in surprised looks despite the Imperial storm troopers helmets. His superiors are not going to like this one bit, but a single question lingered on the minds of everyone who could have done this and why did they take an Imperial Star Destroyer.
The Bride of the Demolisher
At first the bridge is empty and the ship is empty as well of all life forms and robotic life forms, until someone walks into the bride of the ship itself. Its Gordon Freeman sporting a smirk upon his face, he has done clever things before, but this is the icing on the cake. Guess this would be grand theft on a galactic scale and this ship is the very thing he needed. It wasn't hard infiltrating the ship and creating a false engine core meltdown.
Gordon shuts off the tracking beacon so the Imperial's won't follow him, however where he is going with the ship won't matter much anyway. Having downloaded information about an Imperial star destroyer to his Omni-Tool, he got a great idea all about what this ship can do and an added bonus Ti-fighters are in the shuttle bay of the ship as well. Gordon used the controls to get away from Lothal and into hyper space. While in hyper space he used a scrambling signal to get in contact with someone he had previously contacted before.
"It's me," said Gordon "I need a favor."
"Name it Gordon," said Fulcrum
"If you want some information," said Gordon "I have it, I managed to borrow an Imperial star destroyer." He pointed out "You can take the information, but the rest I need elsewhere."
"I don't want to know," said Fulcrum "How you did this Gordon, but thank you anyway One-Free-Rebel, transmitting coordinates now."
Gordon ended the transmission and got the coordinates, then getting out of hyper space and going back into hyper space. The Demolisher headed to that very location to meet up with Fulcrum.
An unknown planet
It is an hour later as the Demolisher dropped out of hyperspace as a small ship is waiting for this ship to show up, he recognized it from before and so Gordon activated the communications system to the ship with Fulcrum on board.
"I will transfer all information that the ship has to you," said Gordon "Sending information now."
He pressed several buttons to do just that and waited.
"Information received," said Fulcrum "Thanks for the help One-Free-Rebel" then he continued the conversation "Good luck in whatever you are doing."
Gordon knows full well of what he is doing, because he planned it and he guessed word would travel fast in what he had just done. He doesn't care and it is time to do what he had come to do, Gordon used his portal technology to create a large portal that is just as big as the Demolisher and had put in the coordinates of the dimension he had already been in. The ship and himself go into the portal and vanish into space as if nothing is there to begin with.
The Ghost
One hour later
Hera Syndulla had just sent Tseebo to Fulcrum and is currently waiting on board the Ghost for the return of Ezra and Kanan as she hasn't heard anything yet. She hated the waiting and worrying, for she went into the main area to find Chopper is playing a chess like game with Sabine, while Zeb as grumpy as ever is looking at the holo-news in which if there is anything new on the news, but right now it is really boring. Until a local broadcast is interrupted by someone else.
"This is senator in exile," said the man "Gall Trayvis, I bring you news the empire doesn't want you to know. The biggest galactic theft of an Imperial star destroyer was done…..by the One-Free-Rebel! As citizens we should applause his efforts to take away such a deadly weapon by the Imperial regime." The transmission ended.
"How in the galaxy did some one was able to," said Sabine "Steal an entire imperial star destroyer."
Chopper clucks like a chicken in response to that and grumbles a bit as well.
"Heh," said Zeb "It wasn't us that is for sure and who is this One-Free-Rebel anyway."
"We may never know for sure," said Hera"
They pondered on this and still waited for Ezra and Kanan to show up.
