Chapter 1:Out of the Stars

  

The First Imperial Fleet to Celest 2 / Executer-class Super Star Distroyer

One Executor-class Super Star Destroyer followed by twenty Imperial-class Star destroyers and an Interdictor-class Star Destroyer left hyperspace right outside the star system and the crew were figuring out how to get to the planet using the least fuel possible and the least time possible. Then the ships prepared to traverse through the dense asteroid belt at the edge of the star system, two probe droids were deployed to investigate the area plus a light fright was sent out to warn the Star Destroyers and the Super Star destroyer. Another precaution taken was to move the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer to fling asteroids away from the Imperial fleet. After about three hours of traversing through the asteroid belt and the fleet had gotten through unharmed the speed of the vessels were increased from 12% the speed of light to 67% the speed of light to save time and because it was now safe to go that speed
      "Probe droid to central command evidence has been acquired to state that these satellites orbiting the class O Star are about 5.2 billion years old and are made from 54% oxygen 37% hydrogen 9% silicon 0.9% iron 0.09573% uranium 0.00412% gold 0.0011093% platinum 0.0000007% rubidium. Satellites are qualified as comets and they make up 0.0000028% of the star systems mass. Average temperature of the satellites are -248 degrees Fahrenheit," Reported the probe droid
      "Sir we have a report from the probe droid that was sent out in the asteroid belt," Said Lieutenant Jerad to Commander Nita.
      "Ok lieutenant I will give this information to the Admiral. Thank you for reporting the transmission," Replied Nita
      With that the commander left and started walking toward Admiral Rax's quarters. Nita was recently promoted to commander and was stationed on the Super Star Destroyer, he had been on the ship for two weeks, so he usually got lost. He was walking towards the commanding quarter which was where the highest ranking officer on the vessel stayed because usually Admiral Rax was the highest ranking officer on the ship but, the only problem was that the Grand Admiral was on the Super Star Destroyer, and Thrawn was a higher ranking than the Admiral. Nita knocked on the door to the quarter, and then the distinctive voice of the Grand Admiral could be heard.
     "Come in,"
     "Yes sir, l am deeply sorry to disturb you sir," replied Commander Nita
     "It is ok commander, who were you trying to contact?" Asked Grand Admiral Thrawn.
     "Admiral Rax but, now I realized that you are the highest ranking officer on the ship and I need to inform you of this. The probe droid that was sent out in the asteroid belt has now reported back with information of the specific area," replied Nita.
     Both the Grand Admiral and the Commander went up to the bridge soon after their conversation. As they passed through the expansive hallways of the Super Star Destroyer, in about five minutes they had both arrived at the bridge. There was chaos throughout the room, Imperial crew members typing commands into the main navigational computers and other computers with other functions, squads of stormtroopers surveyed the area, lieutenants gave out orders to the Imperial crew members and taking orders from Commanders such as Nita himself, several crew members were looking out of the huge windows at the front of the room watching for any immediate danger to the ship and the rest of the fleet, and to top it all off, everything got more chaotic when the Grand Admiral arrived. Then the Grand Admiral stode up to his viewing platform and the chaos started to die down.
      "Sir we have gotten reports from the probe droid deployed in the asteroid belt, if you would like to see them here is the data log with that information, we have also gotten a detailed map of the star system by the group of Imperial crew members over there," Lieutenant Jared said as he pointed to a group of crew members.
     "The map was generated by scanning the star system heavily by using our radar systems, then rendering what we got with the radar to make a holographic map. Here is the map there are a total of six planets in the star system, two of them seem to be gas giants the rest are terrestrial planets, one of the terrestrial planets is in the habitable zone and has a sufficiently large moon. As such I believe that it could harbor life and maybe a primitive civilization,"said Lieutenant Jerad.
      "That is quite impressive lieutenant," replied Grand Admiral Thrawn.
      "Yes, very impressive," replied Commander Nita.
     "Thank you," responded Lieutenant Jerad.
      With that the lieutenant left and started working on a navigational computer on the far side of the room. Out of the massive windows at the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer could be seen the rings of the largest planet in the star system. A variety of colors could be seen on the planetary surface large bands of tan, purple, pink, white, and blue wrapped around the planet. Two probe droids were sent out to figure out what the planet was composed of. After about three hours had passed before the probe droids delivered its message, and by that time both the commander and the Grand Admiral had left the bridge.
      "Hey Fredrick I need you to go fetch the Grand Admiral, I need to tell him something important,"said Lieutenant Jared
     "Oh come on why don't you get the Grand Admiral," replied Frederick
     "Because I am your superior and you follow commands from me, YOU HERE THAT! MOVE,"exclaimed Lieutenant Jared
    "Mememe.. mememe I am better than you, so you should do everything for me cause I am to lazy," muttered Frederick mockingly as he left to to get the Grand Admiral.
     On the way to the Grand Admiral's quarters Frederick stumbled upon the very person who he was looking for the, Grand Admiral.
     "If you could excuse me Grand Admiral, may I speak with you," said Fredrick
     "Very well, what is it that you need to tell me," replied Thrawn
"It's Lieutenant Jerad, he said that he needs to tell you something important but, he did not specify what he had to talk about,"replied Fredrick.
     Thrawn and Frederick started walking towards the bridge to see what the lieutenant had to say. As they both walked down the hallway towards the bridge a squad of stormtroopers marched down the hallway and tlhey gestured a salute  to Thrawn. Everything seemed as it should be, when all of a sudden Lieutenant Jared ran up to Thrawn.
     "We have gotten a transmission from the probe droid deployed in the gas giant, and have discovered that we could safely take our fleet through hyperspace, and get to the objective planet in about thirty seconds,”said the Lieutenant.
      "Very well then, you may proceed to make your calculations to jump into hyperspace,”said Thrawn.
       Admiral Rax was now with Thrawn at the bridge, multiple Imperial Crew Members were working diligently to get the proper calculations to safely jump into hyperspace and get to their location. Computer screens were displaying all the calculations being computed to then be sent  to the main hyperdrive computers, there was also a progress bar showing what percentage of the calculations being computed and transferred to the main hyperdrive computers. After five minutes of calculating the safest trajectory through hyperspace, to get to the planet Celest 2, which was the objective planet, the distinctive hum of the the hyperdrives could be heard, the the ship jumped into hyperspace.
       Celest 2 could be seen from the windows on the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer. It was like nothing anyone on the ship had ever seen before, there were lush green forests scattered throughout the entire planet, in contrast there were barren deserts almost completely devoid of life. The oceans sparked as they reflected the sunlight of its star, Celest, most of the personnel in the bridge just stood there, staring to the glorious planet before them, others said ooh and aahs surveying the planet, though thrawn seemed not be affected. In reality the Grand Admiral was carefully mapping out the planet from north to south pole, but no one expected that sapient versions of mythological creatures and normal creatures inhabited the planet.
