The Small pod slowly drifted near the docking bay, the tractor beam aboard the star destroyer activated drawing it slowly into the hangar bay. Starts and space itself turned a slight shade of green when Shadow looked out the window and even that disappeared and was replaced with the storage and hangar bay.
The pod was slowly placed gently on the docking boards and clamps activated to prevent it from rolling. Shadow opened the pod doors and went to the storage half of the pod to get to the exit. Out of the corner of his eye there was a slight movement, he turned surveying the area, nothing was there. Shrugging it off Shadow continued to the exit and was met with the docking officer as well as land force commander.
“Ah Commander Dashed, what are the stats on our troops? Are we set for the mission?” Shadow asked, surveying the area.
“The troop treats are perfect, all troops accounted for, you will have to ask your navigations officer if we are ready to go, that’s her perspective not mine” Dashed said
“Good, good, well, then I must make sure we are set, you get the troops ready, play out all the scenarios possible in this raid, I want the completely ready” Shadow turned and walked to the turbolift.
“Yes sir!” Dashed said, before turning to address the troops.
The turbolift ride was short, pressurized air being forced on the bottom of the pod accelerating it the high velocities and taking you across the ship in minutes.
The lift stopped two floors below the bridge, The security check in was passed with a simple wave of his pass card and he was in the lift they took him the two levels up to the bridge.
“Admiral on deck!” One of the officers announced
Shadow walked past the many control officers, all of which stood up in respect then quickly sat back down after he passed.
He swiftly walked over to his post and began run over sequence of the ships data base
“Weapon systems power?” He began the list
“Full power” The officer reported
“Life Support?”
“Fully charged and supplied”
“we ready to ship out?”
“Yes sir, all systems in check” The navigational officer reported.
“Good then get the ship ready, I must first talk with the lead commander” Shadow said, turning to walk to the meeting room for a holo comm. chat.

The meeting room was a large room with a long oval table in the middle with holo projectors spread across the room.
“Activate meeting projectors” Shadow yelled to the AI unit
“Activating” The robotic voice said.
The room turned into a blinding light for a moment then the images appeared.
Each seat now had a hologram of each admiral, 30 in total, one for each star destroyer and the command ship captained by General Rickson, the old Husky still was commanding and enjoyed the exhilaration of battle.
Rickson's hologram turned to shadow and nodded “Ok now that we are all here, we can begin the briefing of the situation”
He paused making sure all the admirals were paying attention.
“In 20 hours time, a Rebel convoy will be stockpiling in Nar Shaddaa, this is going to be one of the largest we have encountered in years, they are getting ready for a large assault and it is our duty to stop them at all costs”
He turned to face one of the elder officers on the opposite side of the table
“Admiral Vader, you and your squadron will be wave one, your objective is the disable as many ships as possible before they can jump, you will be getting a interdictor cruiser in your arsenal. Protect it at all costs.”
“Yes sir!” Vader said, then him and his squadrons holos disappeared, joining a different holo frequency to converse strategy.
“ok, now Admiral Shadow, you and your squadron will be a surprise wave, you will jump in the front of their convey, blocking their chance to escape and giving the first wave a chance to trap as many as possible, I will send you your jump coordinates shortly”
“Yes sir!” Shadow reported, changing the frequency so it was just the three admirals able to converse the plans.
“He wants up to fly right into their line of fire?!” Gabe yelled, the second the frequency switched
“Yes, and the issue is? We have done this before, he knows what he is doing” Shadow said
“Gabe, we are using star destroyers, they have old pieces of junk, they can't do much damage to us” Kazee said, remembering the last time they got into battle. “Well, maybe they can, but we have 30 ships on ready, they can all take a beating, there is no possibility we can lose”
“Exactly, quit worrying and go brief your troops on what the plans are, we have a lot of work to do in the next 20 hours, better get some sleep” Shadow said
“yea” They said in unison
The three each shut down there holo vids and headed off for their crew rooms.

Shadow walked into his refresher unit, staring into the mirror, his eyes bloodshot from the lack of sleep. Turning slowly almost as walking in a dream to the bed and falling into it, not bothering to take off his uniform he swiftly fell asleep, already prepared for the nightmares to assume about the day to come.


unknown to either side of this fight, a third party is getting ready to test a weapon that challenges the strength of the future imperial super weapons, a side with no motive other than to kill and ravage anyone that gets in their way.
The following day will be bloody, and death will occur on all three sides to an extreme.
