Ship secured

That broadcast made Greg smirk and just like that all five light cruisers were now heading away from the battle zone. Now to deal with the hundreds of Ties everywhere "Squadron this is the Speedy brake into pairs and start blasting fighters once the airspace is clear we will regroup with our boarding parties and all of us will board one of the destroyers with almost a thousand we will triumph ill also send word to the station where the cruisers are going to send every available droid and ground troopers as they can spare."

"Station Explorer when our boarding parties arrive with those cruisers please load them into a freighter with as many more as you can spare our next prize is a Destroyer."

The next two hours pass in a blur of dogfights until every fighter had been destroyed and a mass firing run with a dozen cruisers dreadnoughts and frigates at our side Greg looked at the screens and out the cockpit windows in amazement "Everywhere I look all that was left was a school of sharks attacking a Megalodon"

By time the pelta class frigate Breacher reached us carrying not only the boarding parties but an additional thousand droids and sentient volunteers one of the destroyers had been blasted into a dozen large pieces and another had a reactor overload from concentrated fire nothing was left after that explosion. Leaving eight every nearby corvette nearby an even dozen surrounded the Breacher as we blasted our way through the shields and into the belly hanger the nine corvettes and the pelta were the only ones to fit inside thanks to all of the destroyers Air…..Space wing been deployed and wiped out two of the ATAT walkers stored there rotated their heads and fired into the side of the frigate only to burn a heartbeat later as every available weapon on the corvettes fired.

Parking next to the wall Greg shut the ship down locking the computers and setting the ships drives to overload and two hours if the code was not entered just in case.

Stepping down the ramp Greg was greeted by his combat droids standing at attention and quiet. Before Greg could say anything the familiar voice of General A'baht second in command Lieutenant General Fl'hatb echoed through the bay. "There is not much time to plan as we docked we saw the destroyers maneuvering away to make the jump to light speed BEFORE! you cheer that means us now so pour out into the ship we need the bridge and engineering as fast as possible so let's get a move on!" proving to lead by example the man lead his personal company through the closest hatch.

As Greg and his droids ran toward another hatch nearby he notices a bundle of wires and cables heading up the ramp into a corvette probably hackers trying to keep the ship from jumping he figured. waiting for his droids to stack up on either side with the three Droidicas set up shields active in the middle of the door the eight supers stacked behind the bubble shield. Everyone in position Greg opened the door.

As the door cycled they came face to face with storm troopers in the identical white armor the droids didn't hesitate. They opened fire the heavy blasters of the Supers tore the troopers apart. The slightly less powerful E5 blasters burned through the light Plastoid armor of the Storm troopers in less than two minutes thirty troopers lay dead or dying only a single B1 droid from Charlie squad was damaged unable to use both arms it had slung the rifle and picked up a blaster pistol from the body of an imperial officer who had been wearing their greyish-green cloth uniform.

Leading the way deeper into the ship they encountered dozens of mixed imperial naval and marine personnel all of them were put down with the same brutal and calculated manner. Heading to the depth of the ship they started following signs leading to the primary Hyperdrive station. As they neared the Hyperdrive they ran into a hard point defense of Stormtroopers nearly a hundred of them. The moment the droids saw them their status of setting up fortifications backed up by a pair of heavy E Webb repeating blasters tossing a half dozen thermal detonators. The troops didn't even have time to run before the grenades exploded and troopers and parts of them went everywhere.

Rushing past the carnage and trying the control panel finding it locked "Alpha we don't have time to hack into the system" Greg said looking at the hulking Super with a red "A" on its chest "roger" the droid responded mounting the new launcher to the base of the DC-17 blaster Greg still preferred as the droids stepped back ten paces.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE" Greg called out over the radio.

The Merr-Son breaching grenade fired off with the same Thunk that reminded him of the M203 grenade launcher from his past life. The solid projectile embedded itself into the door before detonating in a bright acidic Green flash. Looking back the doors were half melted in a puddle on the deck. The droids rushed through the gap and over the puddle of molten metal. The Hyperdrive watch was gunned down without mercy. As the last Imperial fell the droids went about disconnecting the power coupling. The growing hum of the charging Hyperdrive died as power was cut. Followed a minute later by the lights as another team seized the reactor room leaving Charlie squad to ensure the room wasn't retaken.

As the remaining forces continued racing around less and less imperials were found until the 3rd flag officer called over every working intercom speaker "This is Commander Fabius Monbade, we surrender the bridge first and second officer is dead im now in command of the Destroyer Empires fist and im ordering all surviving crew to lay down your arms and surrender."

Two days later the cruisers and the destroyer that had been captured were locked in shipyard slots undergoing repairs along with a dozen other Dorean warships that had been damaged. Tugs and shuttles were all over the system collecting debris ranging from TIE solar panel wings and clone and droid fighter wings all the way up to the severed bridge of a star destroyer.

On the third day Greg had been flown down to Torktarak the planet and the systems capital and was officially recognized by King la'byian a grizzled old Dorean missing an eye and an arm leading his people during the clone wars. After a lengthy and boring ceremony presenting the outsider who came and led the force who single handedly captured the five cruisers and led the joint boarding party that captured the Empires fist.

The end of the dog and pony show came suddenly and left Greg's jaw on the floor at the kings closing statement.

"Now, my brave and honorable people to ensure we and our friends are well taken care of. Under my own authority and with the recommendation of general and Lieutenant A'baht, Lieutenant General Fl'hatb, as well as Lieutenant Sasha of corvette squadron three. Im signing over command and ownership of a Pelta class frigate and two Gozanti-class cruisers in addition to one hundred B1 series Battle droids twenty B2 series Super battle droids and ten Droidicas as well as private transponder codes to have life time access to the system do not betray the trust you have earned you are the first Gregory Sands to be given these codes and this trust in a humans lifetime."

After somewhat clumsily recovering and thanking the king for his unexpected words of trust and gifts.

The ceremony came to an end and the rest of that day was seeing to repair and resupply of his droid troops and the Speedy.

Greg was given the chance to explore his new ships. the next morning and his last for the time being here in Dornea
