Shuttles poured passed the ship as imperial loyalists tried desperately to flee the planet. Panic was in the air, Arterius could smell it, and it was exactly the intended response he was looking for.
"Let them go, I have no use for prisoners."
"Roger that sir, we are coming into formation along side of the city now. Are nose is close enough to jump off of it sir."
"Excellent job Lt. Communications, I need a link to the central command center."
"Ready when you are sir."
Com>Bespin Military Command>
"Bespin command this is Captain Arterius of the Rebellion Alliance against the empire. As you can see, you are outnumbered, out maneuvered, out classed, and with but a single well placed shot I could send this entire city falling into the crushing depths of the planets core. I want you to forever remember this moment, for had this been an imperial fleet, it is exactly what would have happened here. Your men in orbit would be dead or worse, and every living thing in this system exterminated. Had the remnants of the Galactic Republic shown up, the results would have been much the same due to the once imperial garrisons residing in your city. And as it has been demonstrated quite clearly to you, you are woefully under prepared for either event. I have but a single ship and with one pass your space defenses were wiped away. I invite you to meet me on your main landing dock to discuss cessation of hostilities between our people. And fear not for your comrades in orbit, you will find their ships quite unharmed and their crews intact, which if they are even near competent should be back online enough to get them back to their docks about now. So let us not continue this barbaric charade, and we can discuss things as civilized beings shall we?"
With that the communications were terminated and a few shuttles were dispatched with medical and technical crews to help the beleaguered defense vessels back to dry dock. Meanwhile the massive Idenna maneuvered into position with its main hanger port dropped directly onto the landing pad. Almost immediately 1000 troopers disembarked from the ship, their weapons held at attention status but ready to open fire at the slightest sign of hostilities. In a perfect, almost imperial like square formation they continued to march down the hanger ramp. In the middle of the 4 squad formation stood the the captain. It was there, unarmed, he took a breath and awaited the Bespin response. Inside the hanger the remaining soldiers made it apparent the 1000 on the ground were not the only ones on board.
