I was at my battle simulator I was going up against my AI name Sally we both have 12 war ship I was currently winning but I knew Sally was getting ready to make its move so I could 2 wings of fighters and bombers in reserve. Then it did it pushed all of its fighters and bomber at once I deployed my fighters and chewed them up then had my bomber attack. I wiped out its fleet then I heard clapping I turned and saw Thrawn I said you are up late he said I was looking at your gallery it is very impressive I said thank you. He said who were you going up against I said my AI it runs the planets defensive guns so you went up against a foe who thinks I said yes. Maybe you want to try your hand he said sure I activated the other simulator and brought online the Empire protocols I said build your fleet and I will do the same the controls are easy and gave him a brief how to use. Then I went to work I had my flagship with full set of fighters and bombers then I had 2 super carriers they had 10 full wings of fighters and bombers 6 battleships, 10 destroyers and 12 lancers along with my Ravengers warship it is built to chew up fighters I had 14 of them. I told Thrawn the overall tonnage of my fleet and said go higher then mine he said ok and he did.

I had set my fleet in battle position I said shall we begin I had my fighter form fighter screens around my bigger ships then I waited Thrawn sent forth some of his fighters when they got close my Ravengers tore them apart. Thrawn pulled his fighters back he said you know how to defend let see how you are on offense. I smiled and said you haven't seen anything yet I sent the input and my lancer moved into range and fired ripping through the shield. Thrawn said you are smart getting in close is stupid. I said correct then I saw he had jumped a few ships I said really as I had my flagship activate its gravity well projectors and his ships were torn out well before then they were suppose to Thrawn said clever I sent my bombers in with fighter escorts then I got the warning of asteroid storm Thrawn said did you do that I said no basic program will randomly have a space anomaly appear I had my warships up their shield strength and had my bombers activate the magnets on their ships they attracted the asteroids come flying in they hit his ship dealing massive damage several of his ship were gone. He grew serious and said you are a serious opponent I said you know nothing I sent forth my flagship I had it get in positions I had them fire missiles with rail guns firing shortly after so they can breach the shields then the missiles would hit when it happen I wiped out 50% of his fleet the asteroids took out 30% I said do you wish to retreat he said yes it seems you are more then a match for me I said if you were to use your TIE defenders it would have been even match in the way of fighters he said really I said yes my fighters and bombers have shields he said wow. I said I will show you one in the morning he said thank you.

Pov Thrawn

I found Emperor Palpatine in the library I said he is a great strategist he said how good I said he beat me and defeated my move he said really interesting did he have more ships I said no I did he took no casualties but I was down to 20% of my force. Palpatine said I am glad I made this trip this library is worth and seeing how good he is. I said he wiped out a lot my force and he uses what he has he used asteroids against me and our fighters stood no chance against his they are faster and better they had shields their pilots weren't even a factor he said I know we need to get them as an ally or at least ask see if they will help train some of our men I said that would be great.

Next day

I took our guest to see one of our fighters look like F-14 with inverted wings and a small rail gun Thrawn looked it over and said this amazing. I said Lord Vader do you wish to fly it he said yes he climbed in I said hit that button and the rail gun retracted into the craft I said we don't want you to rip the ship apart he said ok. He took off and flew and seeing how good it really is. Then he landed and got out and said these are great ship I said you should see them in space but that is for another day I have some disputes to settle and I need to set up some anti-piracy operation why don't you explore then I had 20 men walk up I said these men will be your escort. I went to the Court house they handed me the list of stuff I had to deal with there were a bunch of high ranking officials that had been caught taking bribes so I went through each and everyone of them took all of the bribe money and had it sent to orphanages and they were sentence to 10 years of hard labor in the mines of Vega 7. Then I went to the command center and said what is the expect amount of piracy this season Luke said it will be heavy latest intelligence report said that Vares 9 has built a huge fleet of ships I said ok I want reinforce patrols along the border alert the outposts. It was around 7:00 pm I was on my way home when I said do, we want to start to head to Void city as Annabeth walked in, she said yes, it is a 3-day journey I said ok we will head out in the morning we will take the Blackjack. I went and grabbed some food and packed a bag so I wouldn't have to tomorrow. I went and got ready to get some sleep.
