The admiral's mistress

Chapter one- Nightstalker's fury

The old couple stood in a passenger dock at the main star port of chepin III. Chepin III was a nice warm planet with lush forests and a warm climate. The perfect place for an old retired couple to spend a few weeks. Despite the man's slight worrying they were far calmer than the people around them. There were hundreds of humans and aliens milling about trying to get from one place to another. The huge bay windows on one side showed the nearby forest. The much smaller windows on the other side were dark with the shadow of the huge factory sitting next to the star port. The transports full to the brim with weapons went from the factory were they were made to the star port to be transported all over the empire.

"You did tell Sean that we were going home today?"

"Yes honey don't worry he will be here to see us off and then he will visit us at home in a few weeks after he is done with this trip."

The man smiled at the thought of his grown up son and clamed down resolving to wait.

Same time

"Sir this just came in."

The captain of the rebel cruiser walked over to the communications console and looked at the message.

This is the part of the job I hate, now I have to kill all those people because of the damned weapons plant; the imperials had to build it right next to the spaceport. Sithspawn they knew this would happen.

Frowning the captain looked out across the bridge at the men and women under his command. They were going about their duties calmly. Damn me for me for making them murders, damn the imperials for making me do this.

The general quarter's siren was heard throughout the ship and men scrambled to their battle posts. "Helmsmen put us in orbit over the star port charge all forward batteries. Fire when we get in range."

The officer turned white then swallowed and nodded. "Yes sir." The rebel fleet moved forwards with the cruiser at its head. Then the cruiser stopped and bolts of green and red streaked out to the ground causing unseen devastation.

"Sir we have a new contact. Designate sierra one just emerged from hyperspace one thousand meters of to starboard."

"I thought that the imperials had a response time around ten min's to get here?"

"They do sir, this looks like a smuggler. He is turning toward us, he probably saw us fire at the planet. I recommend we send alpha flight of x-wings to engage and deploy the rest as a screen to stop any fighters from the planet."

"Do it."

The ship was the Nightstalker, and she was in fact a smuggler ship. Her pilot's eyes burned almost black with rage at what he had seen them do. NO, these rebel sithspawn will die I swear they will pay for what they have done today. With that he activated his shields and warmed up weapons while turning to face the incoming fighters.

He must be insane, he is attacking the whole fleet with that tiny ship, o well, hate killing the brave ones but we have to, thought one of the x-wing pilots before looking over his weapons displays one more time.

The fighters came in as a wedge at full speed meaning to split and fire into the ships sides.

Sean chuckled, overconfident nerfherders, they think they can just run me down with half their fighter screen. Still smiling he tightened his grip over the control stick and brought the crosshairs over the center x-wing. The nightstalker was armed with 4 linked quad canons meant to be fired from the cockpit, a battery of homing missiles, and a proton torpedo launcher. Back into combat and I thought these weapons would be deterrence to anybody with decent sensors.

The first x-wing fireball as it was hit and the rest of the flight scattered. The Nightstalker ran towards the gap and turned to follow one of them, destroying it with ease as well. The x-wings are the best shielded star fighters around, thought Sean as he depressed the trigger for the third time in less than a minute and what messes they make.

After finishing off all but one fighter he noticed the difference in piloting. The x-wing was out gunned but it was slightly faster in a run, and the pilot had taken all of his spare energy from the shields and put it into his engines.

Still it was no use and the pilot finally ejected as the Nightstalker got into firing position.

Well he lived through it minus his fighter, thought Sean.

The captain gripped his console and cursed in every language he knew. He outguns the fighters and this ship can't hit him without taking most of them with it. Damn "Send in the rest of the fighters charge up the engines for a hyperspace jump when the imperials arrive, and put the frigates in between us and him to give fire support for the fighters."

"Yes sir."

I wonder why they killed all of those people. Sith it doesn't matter they will all pay for it regardless. With that thought Sean pulled the trigger with the switch set for missiles.

The homing missiles ran strait into the x-wing flight, only one of them ejected in time.

"Sir alpha flight and beta flight are gone should we advance the frigates or go into hyperspace?"

"Tell the frigates to kill him, and light him up with all forward batteries but don't fire unless you get a clean shot."

"Yes sir"

That was half a million credits worth of missiles and I thought the rebels were cheap. Sean saw the frigates and frowned well armed but probably too slow, lets find out with that he transferred all spare energy to the engines and pushed the throttle all the way forward. I hope that's fast enough

The Nightstalker flew right under the first frigate coming out behind the other and fired. The ship lost most of its engine compartment to the savage destruction of the cannons. But as opposed to drifting around its weapons exploded and all that remained was a burning hulk.

Imperial star destroyer emperor's fury

"Sir I have the imperial governor of Chepin III on the com."

The captain looked at the screen next to the young crewman and put on a fake smile that he reserved for politicians.

"So nice to hear from you Mr. Governor; how can I be of assistance?"

"Get over here you fool we are being bombarded by a rebel fleet."

The com went blank and the general quarter's siren filled the ship.

"Helmsmen plot course to Chepin III and execute with all possible speed."

As the second frigate blew in half Sean smiled. They had been skilled but their ships were too slow to fight the Nightstalker. The cruiser loomed in front of him and Sean simply groaned.

That thing is the size of an apartment building. I don't think my weapons will even get through the shields.

With nothing left to do but that Sean took the power from life support to increase the shields and anything that didn't have to do with either weapons or engines. Routing that power through the engines he crossed himself and grabbed the control stick.

"Sir Rebel purity just blew in half and the Imperials should be here any time should I set course to Hoth?"

"NO" hissed the captain. That bastard killed most of my men; no way am I going to leave him alive. "Open fire all forward batteries, and come about don't let him get behind us."

"Yes sir," murmured the helmsmen, this is madness, if he doesn't kill us then the imperials will.

The air around the Nightstalker turned green and red as bolts and lasers flew past it. Sean pushed the engines as far as they would go and pulled a turn that would have destroyed him in atmosphere. He was sweating, and he heard the metal groan around him. While muttering the Lord's Prayer he pulled back on the stick and kept up the turn.

When he finally got into position behind the massive ship the firing stopped and it occurred to Sean just how many people he was about to kill on that ship. He stopped grinning and muttered last rites before pulling the trigger one last time.

The torpedoes went right up the engines and detonated in the engine room. The ship was leaking atmosphere through more than a dozen hull breaches and it corkscrewed out to open space completely gutted.

The Emperor's Fury came into real space in time to see the Nightstalker fire and the horrible effect it had. It seemed time had stopped for the people on the bridge. When somebody finally found his voice it was the XO. "Sir the Rebel fleet is destroyed, unidentified ship one has lowered shields and powered down weapons."

"We are being hailed."

"Lets hear him," said the captain as he walked over to the console once again. On the way the captain let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

The face that appeared on the screen was a young man. His brown hair was cut short, and he needed to shave. He was sweating and he looked exhausted. His green eyes had lost their fire and he ran a hand through his hair. When he didn't start off the captain spoke, "This is the imperial star destroyer emperor's fury identify yourself and state your situation."

Sean wet his dry lips and said, "My name is Sean Enders. My ship is the Nightstalker. If you have any rescue workers now is the time to send them down, they hit the space port and a factory complex. Also I request permission to come aboard."

"Permission granted. Go to the hanger and you will be escorted to my ready room. You have done the empire a great service today."
