I Don't own anything except Grand Moff Houston, the Earth Space Fleet, BJ, Marc, Jen, and Steve. Any relation to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 is pure fiction.
Power Rangers In Space
The Empire Strikes Back-Setting 3 years after CtoD (Sept. 12, 2001)
Grand Moff Houston paced the bridge of the Knight Hammer. She wanted to destroy the Rangers now but she had to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Admiral Piett had made it clear that BJ Khayman was not about to let her take over Earth as easily had she had hoped it would be.
"Sir, perhaps it would be best to capture Khayman before we attack."
"Piett, we all know that Khayman is with the Rangers now. Capturing him would further add to the existing problems with the Rangers."
"R2, how is it we always wind up in these situations?" asked C-3PO. His counterpart R2-D2 beeped a response. The two droids were carrying the plans to a certain Imperial Superweapon from Eltar. Their task was to find BJ and deliver the plans to him. "We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life." 3PO said. R2 beeped in agreement.
BJ was pacing the bridge of the Astro Megaship. He was very nervous about the coming war with the Empire. Andros was trying to make sure that he understood what he had to do now.
"BJ, you work too hard."
"Look, these Imps are not going to stop until every Ranger has been destroyed. Piett doesn't think like Tarkin or Thrawn. He thinks differently."
"I understand. You take care of yourself."
"I will."
Jen Roberts was your average young woman. She worked at WIDF in New York. She had heard of an opening and was eager to get, however the longtime reporter Charles Caiman was in her way. Jen had threaten to retain a lawyer after he had made a pass at her. Now his attitude had changed. She fashioned herself to be stronger when it came to Caiman's passes. She was walking to her desk when she saw Murray the Station Manager throw a can into a trash can.
"Murray, there is a reason we have bins labeled Recycle." She grabbed more cans. "What is this, my God in heaven."
"So sue me Jen. Caiman wants this on the 5."
"Well, forget Caiman for a minute. I've got something to show you."
"What?" She showed him a videotape. "Animal shot this as those flying things [TIE Ships] and their troops began attacking." Animal Palotti came up beside them. "I thought Lucy was going to kill me." As he said that Lucy came up and whacked him on the back of the head. "Damn right you crazy wop. You could've been killed by those things." She turned to Jen, "and you for following him."
Meanwhile back at the command center Marc was watching WIDF on the TV there when the tape was advertised.
"Hey, WIDF caught the TIE attack and Stormtrooper raid on tape."
"I'll get Hicks." When the colonel returned Charles Caiman was on the TV.
"-and these troops were raiding shops along 5th & Madison?" He was asking Jen.
"Yes, they were."
"Now you actually canned a few of them?"
"Yep, I kept a gun as a token of this."
"Now how long did it take for the Power Rangers to arrive?"
"They never showed up." Hicks was fuming mad that the press would tell such a story. He knew that the Rangers had shown up but that they couldn't reach Midtown as TIE Fighters & Bombers had hit the Trade Towers. Marc meanwhile wanted to find this blonde and remind her that a Ranger was killed in this attack.
At the same time Phillipe Roache and his men were watching this tape in a hotel room overlooking the command center.
(This conversation was in French. Since I don't know French I am going to translate this.)
"Hey, we need to find this girl."
"What about the Rangers and that snooping Jedi?"
"We'll deal with them later." Roache and his men left to look for Jen.
On board the Imperial Star Destroyer Firestorm. Captain Kate Thomas was preparing her troops for a side mission to Eltar. She was often regarded as the successor to Admiral Daala. Thomas walked through the line of troops. "We are going to inflict the most devasting blow to the Power Rangers. We are going to attack the source of their powers, Eltar. Now, Grand Moff Houston has given me a list of thing that need to be done on that planet. We will carry out this list to our fullest. I might add that the planet is seemingly defenseless." Her troops just stood there like a rock.
BJ, Marc, and Steven were also busy. BJ and Marc walked to the bridge on the Megaship.
"Marc, I know that the Empire does stupid things.
"Like what, the time when they left that shuttle sitting at Newark and Hicks had it torn apart."
"Well, yes." They walked onto the bridge.
"Don't you knock when you enter a room?"
"Thompson, how did you get on this ship?"
"Classified."
"DECA!"
"I want to talk to you about your operations Khayman." Andros chose this moment to walk onto the bridge. "Look, whoever you are you don't go near anyone on this ship without my permission." Thompson removed a piece of paper from his pocket.
"What's that?"
"Your permission." Andros was mortified at him.
"BJ, who is that?"
"Colonel Sam Thompson, Army Intelligence."
"What operation was he talking about?"
"Look it's no big deal."
"It is if he's roaming the ship harrassing people."
"I'll deal with him so stop worrying." Andros was now angry and confused.
