COMMENTARIES

THE NEW EMPIRE

PROLOGUE

A pale clarity of midnight was reflected by the dashed sky of Burk. The stars and constellations were almost darkened due to the planetâ€™s altered atmosphere, filtering their iridescent and vivid colours through it. The wind alone, almost a dead voice, barely breathing, caressed my skin so delicately.
A moment of perfect peace was taking possession of us, so magnificent and unique, that soul wished it to be eternal.
But the true reality was much different.
On the vaulted and clear sky, other forms could be distinguished crossing it, twinkling more intensely than the sky. Our senses could recognize beauty on their glare, but due to our knowledge we could only feel fear. For the moment, the cloudless sky was our enemy, and the violet and orange clouds sifted on the horizon, which started
fading, and darkening it, were our last hope. Before their magnetic influence interfered with our equipment, I was glancing over my electronic data pad. Perhaps would be good to recall a little, rejuvenate, through the memory of my ancient principles. If it was the best.
With a renewed peace, I began to remember my forgotten memoriesâ€¦

â€œName: Earnim Branet
Rank: Sublieutenant
Location: Alertness post NÂº 1252-B-12-k, Planet Burok, class M, about the Foggy of Hiigara.
State: Awaitingâ€â€¦

First Chapter: The First Encounter

I

Nothing can describe first time you see a Victory class Star Destroyer, with all activity lights and its propelling nozzles powering up, driving it to the dock. Its thin and stylized profile, with its vertical and activated weapons of war in salute position, issuing the rigor sparkles and with the disembarkation codes that go from the red until the blue in intermittent form, is shortened towards the horizon as if made it until the infinite. As we get closer to the conveyor salon the sheer enormity of the destroyer seems to fill my eyes, its size taking up all the room in the reception station. The customs officers could notice my impression, some exchange mocking glances amongst them, some apparently saying â€œ hey, there goes a new oneâ€.

It must be something unavoidable. Itâ€™s impossible to imagine the size of these destroyers until you see it for the first time. It was to one of those destroyers that I was first commissioned.
I am what is usually known as a â€œFarmer of Junksâ€. I was born on a planet on the edge of the galaxy, to a family that, for generations, used all kind of robots on our farm work. From there the nickname with the one we are known in the rest of the planets. For each person, there are almost 10 robots, the majority devoted to the agriculture, and the rest assigned to domestic tasks. Itâ€™s no surprise that our people have become robotics experts (above all of tailing), being able to arm a robot with surpluses of a junks collector. But that wasnâ€™t my vocation. Therefore I enlisted in the Imperial Academy and I graduated as Sublieutenant to travel through the galaxyâ€¦
My first assignment was aboard the Victory Class Star Destroyer Intrepid, and thusly I was sent, near other recruits to the space station â€œBelmar IVâ€. This is a huge circular like docking station, strongly armed and with the command center of Commander Kingsley inside. After waiting two weeks, our assignments were finally approved.
Sirs, it does not make lack that repeats the events that have had place now last! They are public Knowledge. The rebels forces had taken control of the system Sigma Deltanor and its capital, the planet Herevia. They have also destroyed two of our space stations. However, you can be sure that in a short time we will remove them from the planet. For the time being, we have another destination, which will be we communicated to you in due time. Take your baggage and report to your flight leader for new orders. We depart in one hour!

Long Live the Empire!

Long Live the Empire!â€¦The echo of a thousand voices filled the great hanger, adjacent to the docking room. Hundred of uniforms, black and green, were mixed near a great excitement ripple. Knowing that we would soon be seeing action was filling us with emotions and the majority filled up of an almost youthful fervour.

II

The sound of the Lambda T- 4th class conveyor through the hyperspace was hulling. The five Sublieutenants and the Lieutenant who had been assigned to the star destroyer Intrepid were a little bit sleepy. The loquacious chat started a long time ago had become slow. But we had been able to develop a growing sense of camaraderie through it. Our wing leader, the Lieutenant Von Predator, turned out to be a provincial, too, came from one of the extremes of the Empire, which had belonged to the republic a short time ago, and now it was one of the last border posts. When we asked him where he was assigned before, he answered in the Imperial destroyer Chimaera, and that he had won his second lieutenant stripes in the attack to the rebel frigate â€œArtemisaâ€. Even though his Tie Bomber was completely put out of action and without being able to continue the battle, he could infiltrate through all the A- Wing class interceptors, placing his ship over the command center and discharging all space bombs, which had left the frigate completely blind and without any power to respond effectively to other bombersâ€™ attack. From there on, he was called the Hawk of Balantar, name of the planet where he came from. However, he assured it was a maneuver that he would not try to do in the future again, unless it was absolutely necessaryâ€¦

- Lieutenant Von Predator, you are requested in the pilots room!â€¦

His disconcerting expression indicated us that loudspeaker call was not a normal proceeding. While he moved to the other room, some shared questioning looks, as if they were trying to get the answer, but we had to wait some minutes, even though they seemed to be longer than normal.
- We are going to change the course, Von Predator explained, while he settled into a comfortable position and fastened his seat belt.
- We received an alert message coded through a subspace wave. The intrepid had to leave his former position by high command order, up to quadrant Omega. As you know, that is the farthest Imperial border, before the Foggy of Hiigara, and the only Imperial post, which has not been attacked by the rebel alliance. Relax and rest as much as you can. It is going to take more than normal to get the Intrepid.

Obviously, I could not take any rest. My anxiety impeded it. I am sure that my other fellows could not do it either.

To be continue.........................

Greetings.

Again CPT Rando has stood out in the Tie Corps on Patrol competition winning on all three platforms (TIE, XvT and XWA) which fills the Sin squad with pride. And our General Ric Hunter continues his battle against the rebels and pirates by completing the XWA-TC 60 battle with 19 missions. An excellent week for Sin!.

As we had announced in the previous report, the FL position of wing three of our squadron is vacant. Any member of the Tie Corps who is interested in this position will be very welcome. Just send your request to my e-mail ehbranet@yahoo.com with a copy to RA Hav Antiel (havantiel@gmail.com), and AD Plif (plif346@gmail.com) indicating your interest. Take this opportunity to gain experience and rank within the TC, in addition to being members of one of the best squadrons of the Warrior!.

All right. In this report I am rewriting an old fiction, which I did in my youth, when I had just entered the empire. Of course, it has several flaws both grammatical (Due to the translation from Spanish into English) and canonical, since they do not conform to the Star Wars canon. It is, shall we say, a free creation. I'll bore you some weeks with my fiction, until a new one is sent to me. For this reason I invite anyone who wishes to send me their fictions to be published in my reports. Do not be shy and send your creations. All will be welcome.

The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1. If the winning pilot in a platform also beat the high score (without the handicap added), that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.
