The Unknown Lands
Prologue
Jen Ursen, Rebel Corporal, was stationed on the aqua planet of Bestine IV. He was on guard duty in the abandoned naval yard at Island Eisley, one of the many island spires on this planet. He was also not enjoying it very much.
"Why am I still here? I should be fighting the last of the Imperials," groaned Jen, to absolutely no one. He was stationed alone, left to monitor and watch the station. He was the one who had to stay behind while his squad and most of the other forces left to go to the front. "Stay here and just relax," his commander had told him, "we do need everyone to finally end this war, but we also need you to stay here and make sure nothing happens." It's not like I'm alone, thought Jen, there's reinforcements in the battleships above in the case of attack. But, they are in orbit and ready to leave at a moments notice, in case things go wrong in the core worlds where the fight is. Jen got up from his desk that was littered with all kinds of equipment and went out to the walkway right outside of his room.
It wasn't an Imperial naval yard, but a much smaller, more older facility. It was similar to the Mensix mining facilities on Mustafar on the surface, but was decrepit and was in a state of ruin. It was dug deep into the island to make room for construction, but now the construction levels are caved in and only the main offices on the outside are left that are connected by a single, long walkway. The walkway overlooked the vast ocean, which reflected the two moons in the night sky. Jen was thinking about the distance to Gasha, a city on Bestine, from the naval yard and if he could swim it when he heard a sound coming from his otherwise silent desk. It was a sound he was not looking forward to hear, at least not while he was alone. It was a simple beeping sound which normally would have been irritating, but in this case was horrifying to the lone soldier. It was the radar, indicating an enemy presence nearby.
Chapter 1
The Actual Story
The white armored stormtroopers exited the Lambda shuttle and looked around. They landed on a small island spire near a larger island spire that houses a decrepit old naval yard. One of the stormtroopers took of his helmet and put it on the ground, revealing his disheveled graying black hair, unshaven face, and pale green eyes. "Fenris, go tell the Colonel that we are lost," said the stormtrooper. One of the troopers went up and shortly came back down with a man in black military uniform with a black hat. He had brown hair and a look of superiority and pride, and, for the occasion, a look of annoyance. The Colonel looked over the landscape and smiled. "Captain Vels," said the Colonel with a now much more pleased look and a smug smile, "we are exactly where I want us to be." Vels looks around, now the annoyed one, then looks back at the Colonel. "Well then Colonel, tell me, where are we and where is this special location that you told us about?" The Colonel then looks at the naval yard, "don't you think that we should get a better view, Captain?" Vels grabs his helmet and puts it back on, " Fenris, Jeph, Kert, go get everyone else and get the speeders." Not long after, six stormtroopers, a pilot, a scout trooper, and the Colonel were speeding to the abandoned building.
Jen puts down the binoculars and starts to think. Its a small exploration force that'll reach the building before he can fully report the situation. He clears off the desk and tries to contact the cruisers in orbit before the speeders and their riders before they reach their destinations.
