[^] LEVIATHAN SQUADRON [^]
1st Imperial Expeditionary Force
Primus Et Optimus | The First and the Finest
Commanding Officer: SUPREME EXECUTOR Lucidius Hale
As the battle raged on, Leviathan Squadron was bearing witness to a strategically weakened yet still tactically strong defense force that had managed to pick the right targets in their initial waves of attacks. The strength of the Ventator-class was not in the power the ship itself wielded, but the power in the ships of its support fleet.. or at least that's what Hale had intended the defenses to think. For once the Rebel forces would get a taste of their own usage of misdirection.
"My lord, they've targeted the
Espada, and it has been swiftly disabled," commented Commodore Hawkins.
"How unfortunate timing. It appears we'll have to accelerate our plans. Destroy the
Idenna, Commodore."
"Yes my lord," replied Hawkins.
Immediately, the fleet's firepower once again opened up on the
Idenna, only this time, the green bolts of turbocharged particles and proton bombs began ripping and incinerating the actual ship itself - tearing into its hull. As sections of the Venator began breaking away and bodies of fleet sailors floating off into the icey vacuum of space, the last moments of the crew were met with a sudden rupture of the main power core, resulting in a small anti-matter implosion followed by an even larger fusion explosion. There was silence onboard the
Leviathan's bridge as the ship went down. After the boatswain's mate blew a final whistle for the
Idenna, the crew went back to work.
"It's a shame that ship fell into Rebel hands. She would've made a fine addition to the Imperial Fleet," commented Hale. "Are there any survivors?"
ComScan began short-wave scans, "faint life signs my lord, probably in the more rigid compartments that were sealed off. Emergency life support should sustain them long enough for the enemy to rescue them. Maybe a few dozen or so."
"At last, the
Avenger is avenged," Hale opened up a line of communication with the system:
< Attention, loyal Imperial citizens of Bakura: We regret to inform you that our time here has come to an end... for now. Our presence in this system was just a demonstration of our power, and as you can see, there is only one Star Destroyer in orbit where two once stood. To the Rebels who so bravely fought today: We may return to this sytem, we may not, or we may pay a visit to Endor, or Bespin as well. If we can take down your precious
Idenna, how safe are your Mon Calamari cruisers? Or the
Destiny's Ascenion itself? One by one we will come for them... like thieves in the night, like the Mandalorian big game hunters of the Dxun wildlands... one by one they will fall... until there is nothing left but an empty promise of strength and security. Welcome to a brave new galaxy. Winter is coming my friends... >
"Alright Commodore, dispatch final orders to the
Espada and
Trident... and to the rest of the Fleet."
Commodore Hawkins nodded and pushed a red button, which sent off a set of orders Hale wrote before the battle in case emergency contingencies occured. Now was that time. Hale's orders would gaurantee this. Without delay, crews began placing charges around the ships they were serving on and scuttled them. After the escape pods were collected one by one by the
Leviathan, the victorious Star Destroyer and the
Sturmgewehr lept into hyperspace. The starfighters and shuttles that remained in the system would continue the fight until their last breath - a honor many zealous TIE pilots longed for.
The lead TIE Interceptor pilot opened up a comm line: < Men of the Imperial Remnant. Your sacrifices will be honored and paid back in full when order is restored to the galaxy. Now let's give these Rebels some hell! >
