Please note. I have tried multiple otherways on writing this but yet still others persist on their complaint of "I don't like how this is written." My solution is very simple. And the only one I can offer, if you read this and enjoy it, nothing more needs to be said. If you read this and don't like how it's written with everything all spread out. Please. Get over it. Thank you. As I have said complaints have persisted on which ever way I try to write it so I find it attempting to make those who complain despite attempting to "fix" the story to their liking, highly frustrating as eitherway. Nobody is happy.
19 BBY.. Above the planet Kashyyyk
Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin stood aboard the bridge of his Flagship, the Venator class star ship, the Avenger. Admiral Tarkin observed the stars above the planet of Kashyyyk while down below on the planet there was a large battle taking place of which saw the main public enemies of the Galactic Empire gathered on the planet. The Jedi. The last remnants of an ancient order were being swept away while the new order, the Galactic Empire solidified it's position in the galaxy.
Naval officers and Stormtroopers, of which were Jango Fett clones still in phase II armour rushed around on the bridge of the ship and elsewhere on the ship, Tarkin observed while the laser fire from his ship's laser turrets impacted certain areas on the planet, mostly cities. "The walking carpets should've not allied themselves with those traitors.." Tarkin said to himself while he continued to observe the planet, his hands folded together behind his back.
"Admiral Tarkin, sir." Tarkin heard called out behind him to see Captain Armfeldt Thero, the Captain of the Avenger standing with his Adjutant, Lieutenant Vandoka standing along side the Captain. "Ah, Captain Thero. Have you anything to report?" Tarkin asked turning around to face Captain Thero with an eyebrow raised. "Yes, Admiral. The Emperor has asked for you specifically. Our fleet is to head to the edge of the unknown region, there have been reports of Jedi attempting to flee the region."
Tarkin brought his arms around crossing his right over his chest and his left hand holding his chin. "Hmm... Jedi escaping to the Unknown regions... Then we must get underway, inform the captains of the Revenge, Subjugator and the Resolution they will be joining us in this fight. We cannot allow the Jedi to slip through our fingers." Thero bowed his head, a smile donning on his face. "Yes, admiral! I shall begin immediately!"
Tarkin turned around facing out to the planet, Kashyyyk, while the coordinated were calculated for hyperspace jump and the ship turned away from Kashyyk's surface entering hyperspace with three other Venator class ships jumping to the Galactic Empire's furthest border, the Unknown Regions... After coming out of hyperspace, the four Venators found themselves faced with a small fleet of strange looking ships, they didn't look anything like any of the known ships that were made by companies in the Republic or in the former Confederacy of Independent Systems. "Such... Strange looking ships..." Tarkin remarked while he watched as the ships came closer and closer, already there was wreckage of another ship, of which he assumed to likely be the Jedi ship of which was mentioned before.
"Admiral Tarkin, sir!" Captain Thero yelled from the left crew pit on the Venator's bridge, gaining the attention of Tarkin of whom turned around to Captain Thero. "Captain, is there an issue?" Suddenly the bridge was enveloped in a blue light. Admiral Tarkin turned around and saw what would've usually been seen had a ship gone into Hyperspace, taking another look around he noticed that equipment and stations of the crew were sparking and on fire, Tarkin found himself falling to the floor due to the speed of the ship. The situation certainly didn't seem to be a good one.
"Admiral Tarkin! The Reactor is overheating should we manually deactivate it?!" Captain Thero yelled from the crew pit shielding his face from the sparks that were flying off multiple consoles. Tarkin figured he had to be quick to react himself. "Do it! Turn it all off! Everything except for lights and life support! Do it now!" Tarkin yelled while he held onto the corner of the right crew pit while Captain Thero and Lieutenant Vandoka did their best to pass on Admiral Tarkin's orders.
Soon enough within a few minutes the ship came to an almost immediate halt out of hyperspace, the abrupt stop caused a number of officers and stormtroopers to fall from their positions where they held on for for their lives. Fear of death was certainly present in those of whom were less than confidant in the possible very near future. Tarkin, taking a few moments to collect himself before he took a look around the bridge then to his hands, of course with such an experience, he was indeed frightened, in addition to his hands shaking.
"What... Was that." Tarkin said to himself while he took another look around the bridge, now wasn't the time for him to appear weak, a strong man was needed for this occasion. "Captain Thero! ...Captain Thero!" Tarkin yelled looking around the bridge. "Sir! Captain Thero is currently unconscious!" Lieutenant Vandoka said while Admiral Tarkin ran to Captain Thero and Lieutenant Vandoka. "Get him down to sickbay! Quickly! You two!" Tarkin motioned for two stormtroopers to come and get Captain Thero.
Two stormtroopers of whom were closest to group came and gathered Captain Thero up carrying him to the sickbay off the bridge, while Admiral Tarkin and Lieutenant Vandoka began trying to establish where they were and what the situation was. "Lieutenant! Get me an update on the rest of the fleet." Tarkin said while he took his place back at the front of the bridge overlooking the sights in front of him, a set of new planets though only one appeared to be habitable. "Hmm... Lieutenant! While you're checking on the rest of the fleet, get me some basic scans of the habitable planet to our direct front!"
Lieutenant Vandoka yelled back from the rear of the bridge at a map table of which was standard on all Venator Class Star Destroyers. "All the ships in our fleet are with us but they've suffered damage to sensors, as well as their engines!" Admiral Tarkin crossed his right arm over his chest while his left's elbow rested on his arm, his left hand holding his chin. He was considering what to do next, it was likely that this was a new system, he hadn't seen such a set of planets before... What would he do.
"Lieutenant! Get into contact with the other ships and find a few areas for our ships to land on the habitable planet! But inform the captains of each ship they are to keep their landing ramps up just encase if there are creatures of which would attempt to take the ships for themselves! Maintaining a position in space should be secondary for now, while we do not have access to a reliable source of fuel. As for everything else, scan the planet if at all possible!"
"Yes Admiral!" Lieutenant Vandoka began distributing the orders to the other captains of the ships in the fleet of which originally joined them to hunt down the Jedi ship, ultimately resulting in their... Current situation. After multiple scans had been made of the planet, Tarkin had deduced that it was possible the ships they had encountered had caused the small squadron of Venators under Tarkin's command to be forced into this new star system with technology of which he nor anyone else could possibly comprehend as of yet.
But one thing was certain for Tarkin, until he could find a way back to his Galaxy for himself and of course his men, he'd have to use all the resources at his disposal to survive. And so a meeting was convened on his flagship, the Avenger, with the three captains of the other Venator classes in his fleet. First to arrive was Captain Hallix of the Revenge, second to arrive was Captain Irrx of the Subjugator, third and lastly to arrive was Captain Luico of the Resolution, all upon arrival being directed to the bridge, more specifically a mapping/communications room at the back of the bridge.
Admiral Tarkin, and Lieutenant Vandoka stood on opposite sides of the table while they looked over areas of the planet of which were scanned, considering where to put the fleet down at on the planet. Tarkin had taken an interest in the planet, while there were signs of human life on the planet there were also signs of strange "alien" life on the planet of which seemed similar but lived in secluded areas from forests to mountains and even oceans, rivers, and other waterways. Tarkin was deep in thought of the possibilities this planet presented and recalled in his mind stories of his own ancestors of whom were the first to colonise his own homeplanet.
"Was this a sign from some sort of higher power?" He said quietly under his breath while he thought, his own deep thought becoming apparent to Lieutenant Vandoka of whom walked around the table and tapped Tarkin on his shoulder breaking him from his trance. "Hmm? Yes? Have you anything to report?" Tarkin asked as he turned to Lieutenant Vandoka of whom was quick to respond. "Yes Admiral, the captains of the Revenge, Subjugator, and Resolution have arrived and are on their way to the bridge as we speak."
"Very good, when they get here we shall inform them of the situation as it is perceived, any word on Captain Thero?" Tarkin asked turning back to the table, continuing to look over maps of various areas on the planet. "Yes sir, he's improving and the medical officer says he may yet regain consciousness in the next hour or so." Vandoka said as he returned to his position on the otherside of the map table. "Good, we will need all hands for this, with us finding ourselves in this new, strange place..." Tarkin said before a Clone bridge officer behind one of the upright standing star charts yelled to Tarkin. "Admiral Tarkin, sir! You should come and see this!" Tarkin turned from the table and walked around the star chart to the bridge officer. "What is it?" Tarkin asked as he held his hands together behind his back.
"Sir, there's a massive energy reading coming from the centre of the larger continent." Tarkin took hold of the back of the Clone's chair as he leaned over him looking at the monitor before him. "Unusual... Highly unusual..." Tarkin stated before he stood upright and walked back around the upright standing star chart which divided a part of the room. "We shall have to send a recon unit down to investigate it. I'd hope it'd be nothing too much to worry about, but caution at this time is something we should indeed observe given our new surroundings... Lieutenant Vandoka, after the Captain's of the Revenge, Subjugator, and Resolution leave have the 19th squad of Company 121 go down to the planet's surface and set up for long range observation of the source of this energy reading."
Lieutenant Vandoka gave a nod to Tarkin before quickly leaving the room. "Yes, Admiral!" Afterwards, Captain Hallix, Irrx, and Luico arrived on the bridge taking places around the map table in the centre of the room. "I'm glad you all made it here, the situation is a strange one at best. The ships we've encountered earlier have I'd at best guess assume sent us to a new star system of sorts, not on our charts. But that's not the only issue, the next issue is we have no idea what the way is back or how to get back. And so I have decided it would be best for us to gather resources and possibly colonise this planet in the name of the Empire." Tarkin said confidently, as anyone of whom knew him personally would've not been surprised by his assumption or by his plan.
"Admiral Tarkin, how could we possibly colonise this planet, true it may hold life on it but there could very well be savages down there who could sooner kill us." Captain Irrx asked before Tarkin directed his concerns to a holographic image of a city on the planet. "It is true we may yet not encounter anyone on equal footing as us but this does not mean they are savages, multiple cities for instance shows a great degree of engineering know how and the very basic signs of a civilised society, perhaps not has civilised as anything in the known galaxy but still civilised nonetheless, and with our force projection should anyone arise against us on the planet then we will use one weapon of which they would understand as all basic life does. ...Fear. Fear will keep them in line, fear of us, of our weapons. Of the possibilities that would be presented should they stand against us."
