The Siege of Yavin IV
Chapter 1
The huge hull of the Aclamator-class troopship Alderan as it approached Yavin IV. With it were eight Alderani war frigates and a dreadnaught, all of them swiftly flying around the gas giant of Yavin and approaching the moon.
On the bridge of the Aclamator, admiral Adar Tallon observed the situation. "The separatist fleet appears to be retreating behind Yavin V" said one of the sensor techs. "Let them go" answered Tallon "Achieve low orbit". Turning to his best friend, Captain Jan Dodonna, Tallon asked "So, Dodonna, what do you suggest we do? What do you think think the enemy is about to do?" Dodanna thought a moment. Of Course, Tallon, his best friend, knew that he had excelled in siege tactics at the academy, while Tallon was good at space combat. Both had served in the republic navy for a while, but in the peaceful republic, there was no combat to prove themselves and get promoted. "Well, if I were defending this planet, not that I ever would be" Dodanna and talon shared a short laugh. What were the odds that Captain Jan Dodanna, rising star of the republic military, would have to defend a backwater moon on the edge of the galaxy? "I would emplace my troops in the woods with one of those temples as a base". Dodanna turned to the gunnery officer. "Fire Ion canons at each of those temples" "But sir, the separatist's shield will deflect it" "I know" Using the angle of the shimmering shields, Dodanna was able to pinpoint the location of the temple the shield was located at. He informed a surprised bridge crew as to the location of the shield generator and advised to drop ground troops. As Dodanna turned to leave the bridge, Tallon asked "where are you going?" Dodanna replied "to get some respect from the soldiers" and left the bridge.
