ACT I

=============================================

Rear Admiral Sesswanna briskly walked down the polished corridors of the magnificent ISD-II Devastator, the flagship of the Vast Empire's Navy, as he was escorted to his new quarters aboard the vessel by two armor-clad Stormtroopers.
"...Now I have lost command of the Lorn Home Guard..." Sesswanna mumbled to himself, just quiet enough that the duo of Stormtroopers did not hear him.
A deafening sound like that of rolling thunder roared suddenly, as Sesswanna clapped his ears as he and the guards were catapulted to the deck. Sirens whined loudly, the corridor went black, and Sesswanna tried to right himself, hissing a curse in an expellation of air, as the deck beneath him seemed to vigorously rock back and forth. Emergency flood lights clicked on, bathing the corridor in light.
"...Warning: Hull Breach...Warning: Hull Breach..." the speakers randomly placed in the massive ship rang out, "...Emergency flood lights initiated..."
Sesswanna quickly brought his comlink that was clipped on his belt into use; "Rear Admiral Sesswanna, calling Devastator bridge...what has happened?"
A junior control officer began to mutter something, when his sentence was cut short by the voice of Vice Admiral Nikola Ivan 'NiksaVel' Leder...
"Rear Admiral Sesswanna, make your way to the ship's bridge."
An audible click sounded as NiksaVel switched his comlink to all channels, "Attention all High Command Officers, please come to the bridge immediately. I repeat; All High Command Officers, please come to the bridge immediately."


Rear Admiral Sesswanna tried to straighten his tunic as the twin doors irised aside with a whoosh . The bridge was buzzing with officers moving about, red warning lights blinked on and off, several control panels scrolled with words such as 'Deck 9 Sealed Off', and admist this frenzy, Vice Admiral NiksaVel struggled to maintain a controlled atmosphere.
Sesswanna recognized several other officers moving about the bridge such as Rear Admiral Dharus, Commodore Gilkane, and Vice Admiral Rich.
Upon seeing Rear Admeral Sesswanna, several wrinkles of tension lifted from Vice Admiral NiksaVel's frustrated face.
"What is the situation, sir?" Sesswanna asked.
"Rather sketchy, Sesswanna, some sort of large unkown asteroid was able to slip past our sensors undetected," NiksaVel voiced, as he rattled off more orders to several youthful officers who scurried by.
"How large was it?" asked Commodore Gilkane, being bumped by a passing officer.
"I do not know," NiskaVel responded, "It is very large . Rough estimates indicate it is nearly half the size of the Devastator. There is a huge gaping hole in the ship. We have had to seal off numerous decks where oxygen was escaping. Among those decks is the engine level, as well as power. We are completely imobile and slowly eating through our power supply. We have lost a good portion of the crew. Could not be helped however. I am having to assign the surviving members of the Devastator to fill in the duties of those who have perished. I have sent an emergency distress signal. Unless the Devastator receives assistance...We will die of no oxygen."
"Is the Grand Admiral, alright?" Vice Admiral Rich asked. Grand Admiral Majere had come on board, along with Grand Moff Kadann, to discuss the Devastator's next mission with Admiral Reinthaler.
"Yes," NiskaVel said, keeping his voice calm, "I have already informed him of the situation. Both he, and Admiral Reinthaler, are coming to the bridge momentarily."
Moments after finishing, three lower-ranking personnel appeared on the bridge. Commander Auroras, Commander Athran, and Second Lieutenant Schnapps, three pilots in the service of the Navy.
The trio marched up to the Vice Admiral.
"Sir," Athran began, strangely uttering the word as if it was foreign to him, "I wish to report unknown beings sitings on the lower decks."
"What?" Vice Admiral NiksaVel vocalized, the wrinkles of tension on his face now returned, "What are you talking about? Beings?"
"Creatures, sir," Auroras said, "Other crew members have seen them. Schnapps, Athran and I saw one of them. We could not see much of it, but it definitely was not human."
"...They must have been dwelling in asteroid..." Rear Admiral Dharus spoke up.
A moment of silence fell amongst them, and the Rear Admiral realized the entire crew on the bridge was listening.
"Arm all crew members, and have them stay in groups when they travel the decks," NiksaVel ordered, his arms now clasped militarily behind his back. A crippled ship with the highest ranking official in the Vast Empire aboard it, losing power, losing oxygen, and now these unknown creatures were aboard.

Commander Blackbird ran as fast as he could onto the Bridge of the Devastator with some disturbing news.
"Sirs, I have some awful news, I have seen alien lifeforms on decks 12 and 8 on my way here," spoke Blackbird in a disturbed voice.
"We already have reports of these.. Creatures," said Vice Admiral NiksaVel, "but did you get a good glance at any of these Creatures?"
"Somewhat," answered Blackbird in a auspicisious voice, "they were about 1.3 meters tall, very dark colored, and resemble no living organism I have had the pleasure to encounter or hear of before."

Commodore Gilkane went to the nearest weapons locker and began handing out Blaster Rifles to every one on the Bridge.
"We only have 2 extra Blaster Rifles and only enough ammo packs to give us all 1 extra, that is roughly 200 blaster shots each." said Commander Auroras.
"We will have to make our way to the ships main armory," thought Sesswanna aloud.
"That will be quite an accomplishment," said NiksaVel, "the armory is on Deck 13 near the center of the deck."
"Aren't there any small weapons lockers anywhere near here?" asked Rear Admiral Dharus as Grand Admiral Majere and Admiral Von Reinthaler entered onto the bridge, escorted by 6 Storm Troopers, fully armed and armored.
"Yes there are," said Admiral Von Reinthaler, "but most of them are locked electronically, so we can't open them without almost full power to the deck they are on."
"Then rule that idea out, Where is Lord Kadann," asked Sesswanna.
"Grand Moff Kadann and 12 Storm Troopers are currently trying to keep these Creatures off of the main hangar deck," answered Grand Admiral Majere.
"We need to meet up with Grand Moff Kadann and then proceed to the main armory so that we can begin killing off these pests, and until we reach the armory we are going to have to seriously conserve ammo," spoke Vice Admiral NiksaVel.

The last two Blaster Rifles and 4 power packs were handed to Grand Admiral Majere and Admiral Von Reinthaler.

///// MEANWHILE /////

Grand Moff Kadann and the 12 other stormtroopers were having a hard time fighting off these 'creatures'. Not only were they excellent fighters, but when you shot them, they squirted some sort of acid out of their wound. There were holes everywhere in the hull of the ship, from where the creatures had died. Luckely, the ship was magnetically sealed, so that Kadann and the stormtroopers didn't get swept out to space.
Then, without warning, one of the littler 'creatures' jumped up on TK342. TK342 didn't stand a chance; the 'creature' seemed to have broken his helmet and gripped his face. Kadann ran over to try to get the 'creature' off of TK342, but was unsuccessful. The 'creature' had a very strong grip. Kadann could sense the 'creature' putting fluids into TK342's body. "I hope the others get here with some help soon" Kadann thought as he noticed that his repeater rifle was almost out of energy.

"Ok men and women let's spread out and take each room in different areas in groups." NiksaVel commanded
"Athran, Scarecrow, Schnapps/Archer you guys go to the left. Try not to get in a foolish dispute this time either!" (Points a finger at Athran and Schnapps.)
"Sesswanna and I will go to the right, and the rest go up the center." NiksaVel commanded
"Everyone else go up the center. When you have the area of the room secured everyone meet in the center of the room." Majere commanded
As Schnapps, Scarecrow, and Athran walked to the left side of the room they noticed that some glowing was coming out of the corner of the room.
"Schnapps go to the right, I'll go up in the middle, and Scarecrow go to the right. We'll converge upon what ever that thing is."
Athran Commanded
"Athran I don't want to go in on the right! I want the left! COme on be fair!"
Yelled Schnapps
"Ok fine just let's go investigate that glowing type thing." Athran stated

Schnapps moved cautiously towards the eerie glow. �I don�t believe that Athran creep, since when did he give ME orders?� she muttered under her breath.
Schnapps, Athran, and Scarecrow walked slowly towards the glowing light, each holding their standard issue side arms at the ready. As they got close, they realised that the glowing was coming from a hole in the wall. Nodding silently to each other, the three pilots knealt down and cautiously looked in. The hole led into the Devastator�s air vents, and was just large enough for a small humanoid to fit through.
�What can you see?� whispered Athran.
�Not a thing�, replied Scarecrow.
Schnapps took a deep breath. �One of us has to go down there. Logically, it has to me. I�m the smallest, there�s no way either of you two could fit through the ducting.�
Scarecrow and Athran looked at each other and nodded. �Okay Lieutenant, carry on.�
Schnapps handed her BlasTech to Scarecrow, then slid feet first into the ducting. A second later, her arm reached out, and she was handed her blaster. �As soon as I find out what�s down here, I�m coming out,� she called back.

The ducting was just big enough for Schnapps to walk through doubled over. She squinted into the yellow light, the source of which got nearer and nearer. Lying about 5 metres away from the hole in the floor was a wounded creature. Schnapps reached up to her comlink. �Uh, guys, I think I�ve found one of the creatures, but it doesn�t look quite like the descriptions . . .� She moved closer to it, to get a better look. Had it been standing up, it would have been about 2 metres tall, and the glowing seemed to be coming from it�s blood, which was covering both it and a lot of the duct�s floor. �There must be two different-� She stopped at the sudden sound of crawling behind her. She spun around to find another creature scrambling towards her, talons extended. She whipped up her BlasTech and opened fire, showering the duct with glowing blood. �Get the hell down here, now!� she yelled into her Comlink, breathing a sigh of relief. She turned to face the wounded creature, bringing her gun up to face it. Suddenly, before she could react, it opened one eye, and shot a talon towards her. It stuck into her neck, and she could see a yellow liquid being injected through it. Struggling against a woozy feeling, she managed to pull up on her gun and send several blasts into the creature, killing it.
A second later, the other two pilots appeared behind her. �Crow, Athran, am I glad to see you!� she gasped.
�Are you ok?� asked Athran.
She nodded. �I�m fine, I got them both. We should get out of here and tell NiksaVel about this.� The other two nodded, and they began crawling out of the duct.
Behind them, Schnapps smiled. For a second, her eyes glowed an alien yellow . . .

"Do you want to go in or should I?" Athran asked Scarecrow.
"Paper-rock-scissors?" Scarecrow asked
"Agreed. 1-2-3 shoot. I have scissors you got paper you go! If you see anything suspicious use your comlink right away!" Athran said
"Ok i'm going in." Scarecrow stated
The glowing started to get a little bit brighter in the direction Schnapps should have been.
"hmm...... I wonder what that is?" Scarecrow said to himself
As Scarecrow turned the corner he just saw barely enough to see Schnapps being drup around the corner by one of those creatures which was unusually large.
"Athran I have saw something very odd down here. COME NOW!!" Scarecrow yelled
"Allright I'm allready on my way!"
"What do you think those creatures are?" Athran asked
"I'm not sure, but they seem to adapt to our weapons more every time we shoot one of them." Scarecrow responded being cautious of what was around him
"Ok what do you suggest we do now?"Athran asked
"I'll send a comlink to NiksaVel and the rest of the team about our situation and see what they suggest." Scarecrow said
"Ok, but what ever happens we are going after Schnapps right away!" Athran said
"We aren't losing one of our pilots to some stupid alien." Athran said
"NiksaVel said to go on, BUT be very careful! Also said that they will be caring out what we had originally planned." Scarecrow informed Athran
"Ok let's go find Schnapps!" Athran said taking off in a sprint in the direction that Schnapps was drug off

///MEANWHILE///

Vice Admiral NiksaVel and Rear Admiral Sesswanna walked down a long corridor arriving at a door marked Maintenance Access.

"Inside here there should be a long maintenance tunnel system that if we follow should take us to the main hangar deck," said Vice Admiral NiksaVel.
"Do maintenance tunnels covor all of the decks on the ship?" asked Sesswanna.
"Yes they do, but all but a few tunnels have been shut off to prevent these 'creatures' from spreading, and to keep the decks with a hull breach off limits." replied NiksaVel.
"That's good, I never would have thought of that," Sesswanna mumbled to himself as his comlink suddenly sprang to life.
"...Ses..a.na .... u.. I repe.t we ne.d hel..."
Sesswanna got out of the message about all he could and then he activated his comlink to contact Grand Admiral Majere.
"Majere, sir, it seems Scarecrow, Athran, and Schnapps are in trouble, I recommend assisting them ASAP, NiksaVel and I are on our way into the maintanence tunnel system to get to lord Kadann, afterwards let's meet on deck 5, near the mess hall, close to an access tunnel to the main armory," spoke Sesswanna into his comlink.
"Affirmative," answered Grand Admiral Majere over the comlink.

Sesswanna and NiksaVel opened the maintanance door and then opened the access hatch to the maintanence tunnels and slowly began their .75 km journey through the tunnels on their hands and knees. After travelling a mere 100 meters or so they came to an intersection, where the tunnel went left, right, and up, with a shut hatch directly infront of them.
"Which way our we supposed to go?" asked Sesswanna.
"I don't understand, this hatch door should not be open! We'll have to take the tunnel above us to the deck above the main hangar!" replied NiksaVel.
"Why the heck would this hatch be closed?" asked Sesswanna nervously.
"Let me think..." said NiksaVel, "OH MY GOD! The only reason I can think of that hatch being closed is if someone in the Main Hangar shut down the Magcon field, opening the entire main hangar up to space!" said NiksaVel in nervousness.
"Then that means Kadann and those stormtroopers are dead unless they are inside the ships or fighters in the hangar.." said Sesswanna with a little bit of hope.
Sesswanna reached out with the force using his Dark Jedi powers to try to locate his master.
"I can sense his presence, can you?" asked Sesswanna.
"Yes, I can," said NiksaVel, "which means at least he is in one of the ships in that hangar bay..."
"Wait a minute, are there any Gamma-class Boarding shuttles in that hangar bay?" asked Sesswanna.
"Yes, 3 I believe, why?" asked NiksaVel.
"We can use the shuttles to fly to the deck near the main armory and then burn a hole in the hull with the shuttle's plasma torches and come in and get all the weapons out of there, not to mention that we can use the Zero-G storm trooper armor to kick these 'creatures' ass!" said Sesswanna in excitement.
"Excellent plan Sesswanna, you shall be commended if this works," said NiksaVel.
"Thank you sir," said Sesswanna as the 2 Dark Jedi's made their way to the upper tunnel and proceeded to the main hangar deck, informing Grand Admiral Majere of thier plan.

"Grand Admiral Majere, sir, we have a great plan," said NiksaVel as he explained the plan to the Grand Admiral.
"Excellent plan," said Majere, "put it to work as soon as you get to the hangar, and have Grand Moff Kadann and his stormtroopers help you, but make sure you find some space suits before you enter that hangar."
"Yes, sir" said the pair of Jedi in unison.

///////MEANWHILE////////

Jackal, never invited onto the Devastator in the first place, sped towards it with pathetic optimism.
"I'll show them just a sergeant." snickered Jackal.
As he got nearer to the ship he noticed something was wrong.
He ran a scan over the ship and found almost total power and oxygen loss.

////////NOW//////////
"What the-" he said before being cut off by laser blasts.
A quick roll was all it took to avoid them.
Another quick roll and a hard bank brought him in behind what looked to be a small asteroid.
"A shooting rock?" questioned Jackal to himself.
He wastes no more time. Locks on the target blindly and fires with canons fire-linked. Three of the four shots hit, seemingly vaporizing the small object to dust.
As he turned once again for the damaged ship, more rocks "cruising" right beside him in an eerie fashion.
Worried at the mire presence of such odd "ships" was enough for him to take evasive maneuvers. Speeding towards the Devastator he looked for an intact hangar bay.
"This is a mess" he thought out loud.
With no sign of an intact bay he guides his TIE Interceptor into a large hole in the back of the ship. He sets down the ship and climbs out with a BlasTech in hand.
"I�m not taking any chances" breathes Jackal.

He slowly walks across a long beam over-top of a large hole in the floor. Weakened by the "acid" for the creatures, the beam begins to slant forward. Jackal stands and begins to run towards the end of the now sinking beam. Just before it breaks and plummets out into space he jumps and seizes a small ledge.
But as he tries to pull himself up a hand grabs his arm. "Kadann ?" wonders Jackal in a voice of joy, "am I glad to see you."
"As am I" replies Kadann,"how much ammo you got ?"
"About 200 with me, but I have extra in my ship. But we can�t cross back to it." answers Jackal.
"Well, you better just come with us." orders Kadann.
"Yes, sir" acknowledges Jackal.

But as he speaks fire erupts up infront of them.

"Let�s go !" orders Kadann.
They all begin to open fire on the creatures. Their "acid" is sprayed even more on the ship in a heavy fire fight. More men are lost in this encounter. But this means more ammo for the remaining men.

"Let�s try to make our way back to the rest of them." issues Kadann.
They all begin to slowly head down the twisted passageways, killing the creatures as they go. As they draw closer to the middle of the ship, it seems like they are loosing more men and fighting more creatures.

As they round a corner they see the creatures messing with the control boards and
and notice one switching the controls of the magconfield.

"We had better run for the ships in the hangar!" TK-563.
"Go-Go-Go !" orders Kadann.

They all start running for the hangar bay in which they had just left, the thought had crossed Kadann's mind earlier to get into the ships. But he remembered his friends still on the ship. But now he had no choice.

They boarded the ships just within time. The magconfield collapsed and the ship dropped out as the engines were started.

"We'll wait here and see what happens" orders Kadann.
But as he sits back to wait he Jackal warns of the "ships" flying around in space.
"Everyone keep your eyes pealed" says Jackal, "these things don't show up on sensors."......

With the eerie glow still raging in Shanapp�s eyes, she walks up behind Athran with BlasTech in hand.
"Athran, look out !" warned Scarecrow. Athran swung around, hitting the blaster from her hand. But his actions were not enough, she moved closer, grabbing Athran by the throat. Her index finger turned to a small talon in seconds. With a sharp thrust she lodged the talon in Athran�s neck, pumping the same green substance into him.
"Back down, Shnapps!" urged Scarecrow. His words made no effect. She just stood there with an evil rage flowing from here eyes and fingers. Athran soon collapsed on the ground, head up against the wall.
"That�s it!" scorned Scarecrow. He swung his blaster up into the face of the slender woman. He no sooner put it in her face when she grabbed it from his hand, throwing it across the hall. Seeing nothing could be done for Athran or Shnapps now, Scarecrow slowly backed up, turned and ran towards the direction of the others. I can�t risk killing them, thought Scarecrow to himself, there might be another option.
////MEANWHILE/////

Outside in space Kadann and Jackal fight off the small asteroids, but are losing a fight they can only hope to win. Strongly outnumbered, they make a distress call to the nearest fleet. There is no response, and they leave the message going.

////MEANWHILE/////

Scarecrow, walking through the ship unarmed, got a stoke of luck.
"Scarecrow. Where are Athran and Shnapps?" asked Sesswanna.
"They are "creatures" now sir," Replied Scarecrow, "there was nothing I could do."
"We�ll worry about them later, right now we must try to reach Kadann and get to those shuttles." Orders NiskaVel.
They all race through the corridors and reach a hatch that has been sealed. They all look through the view port and see nothing but space.
"Try your comlink." offers Scarecrow.
"Kadann, do you read me?" messages Sesswanna.
"Yes, loud and clear, we are out here fighting off these stupid rocks." Replies Kadann.
"Could you please pick us up, we have a great idea." Adds Sesswanna.
"We are coming." Says Kadann.
"Okay, bring out some Zero-G suits for us, there are two others with me." Comments Sesswanna.
"Will do." Replies Kadann.

They pick them up and all board the ship.

They battle their way to the weapons storage and start burning a hole in the side of the ship. The sheilds are getting very low on the Gamma-class star ship. When the hole is completed, Jackal, Sesswanna, NiksaVel, Scarecrow, and the four remaining stormtroopers board the ship. "We�ll get as much as we can, sir" remarks Jackal.

They board the ship and they store as many weapons and ammo as they can in a loading cart and two of the troopers take it back to the ship.

Returning to the bay, they fight off a few more "rocks". No VE casualties are suffered. They have plenty of weapons and enough suits for the immediate crew. The ship is heavily damaged and there would be no way for them to proceed inside the ship from here. So they once again go back into the ever-dark space�

"What about Athran and Schnapps?" asked Scarecrow
"Well not much we can do with this ship in the shape it is in." Said NiksaVel
"Hopefully Majere and the rest of them will find a way to help them out." Sesswanna said
"Let's hope so!" Scarecrow said
"What do you think we should do now?" asked Sesswanna
"Let's just get the hell out of here." Said NiksaVel
"Well have the shields charged up enough to land on the ship now?" asked Jackal
"I'm not sure, but here come some more of those shooting asteroids so we better think fast." Said Scarecrow
"I'd rather test my luck with landing then those crazy asteriods!" Jackal said
"I've encountered them before and trust me they aren't to friendly." Jackal said
"Ok then it's settled well land on the ship and go in and see what we can do." Sesswanna said

He radioed back to the Nemesis which was laying in wait around Erewhon 1.
"Nemesis, this is Ramses Viper. Get to the Devastator now, she's got huge holes in the hull, bring Dragon Detachment. Viper Out."

Viper took control of the shuttle and decided as he was in a Lambda Class shuttle he would just try to land on the ship and work his Army training. He looked for a safe landing bay and found one.

"Wonder what the hell's with all the holes everywhere..." he said to himself as he walked down the ramp of his shuttle.

Major Archer Diabolis ran through the check sequences on her BlasTech, an intense glint in her eye. "Finally, some action", she smiled to herself. Once she waas done with the gun, she threw as much ammo as she could find into her pack, followed by a set of thermal detanators, a monomolecular stilleto vibroknife, and, for good luck, a hip flask full of peach schnapps. She loaded her sidearm, and clipped it onto her belt. She thought to herself for a moment. "Ah well, I might as well . . ." With that, she tossed in a first aid pack as well. She picked up her Stormtrooper helmet, and pulled it on. As she walked out of her quaters, she picked up an Imperial Repater Gun. "I couldn't forget my favorite gun, hehe."
She made her way to the Assault Transport Pacal, waiting in the Nemisis' hangar bay. "All right people, the Nemesis needs us. Let's teach those Navy types how the Army does its killing."

In a few minutes, the Pacal was speeding towards the Devastator, filled to the brim with some of the most gun-crazy, psychopathic, unstable maniacs the Vast Empire Army had to offer.

=============================================
On an asteroid in the Erewhon System...

"The Grand Admiral did not even leave the furniture..." Major General Rarc Spartacus, who was in a very dark mood, voiced with a tone of sarcasm as he walked militarily through the lonely halls of the old VESO base on Erewhon 2.
"Probably put the furniture in his lavish living room I suppose..."
He pivoted suddenly on the heel of his polished right boot to face his temporary subordinate officer, "Where is that Rear Admiral Sesswanna? He is overdue twenty-four hours! What kind of an Executive Officer did I hire..."
"I am sure the Rear Admiral has his reasons, sir..." the officer began to mutter.
"Silence you imbecile!" Spartacus spat with distaste, "I did not ask for your opinion you bombastic ignoramus. Did they not teach you the respect of rank when you were in boot camp?"
"Er, well, yes, sir..."
"Nevermind," said Spartacus.
Having now completed his survey of the base which he had to rebuild, it was time for him to return to his shuttle. Construction for the new headquarters of the Vast Empire Intelligence Division was going well.
"Let us egress to the shuttle," Spartacus said, snapping his finger to the youthful officer beside him, "Send out an information order as to the whereabouts of Rear Admiral Sesswanna. I want him located as soon as possible and told to rendezvous with me at Lorn."
"As you wish, sir..."


=============================================
Aboard the ISD-II Devastator...

"A serum?" Rear Admiral Sesswanna said, repeating part of a sentence that Vice Admiral NiksaVel had said a moment before.
"Yes," NiksaVel replied, in his usual calm voice, "They say it might be able to cure the growing symptoms of those who, such as Lt. Schnapps, have had contact with the creatures. They suddenly came down ill. Others have had violent lung pain. A variety of problems are starting to appear. Finally, the ISD-II Devastor's medical section says they may have found a serum to conteract it."


=============================================
Assault Transport Pacal...

"Alright, listen up!" a burly Imperial High Command officer in the Assault Transport Pacal bellowed addressing the armor-clad Zero-G troops of Dragon Detachment as the ship soared through space nearing the Imperial Star Destroyer II Devastator, "We are coming in hard and fast. We are going to land in the hangar of the ISD-II Devastator. The hangar is supposed to be under occupation of the enemy. Reports from the ISD-II Devastator indicate bizarre flying asteroids, and corrosive acid to be in the ship's hangar bay. So when we land, and the landing ramp comes down...you come out shooting and blast these unknown alien corpuscles to bits..."
He paused momentarily as he passed Major Archer, his nose twitching suddenly, "Is that alchahol I smell coming from your helmet's oxygen venelator, Major?" he said fiercely.
"...No, sir..." Major Archer replied hastily, who had just taken a swig of peach schnapps thirty minutes before.
"Better not be, the last thing I need is some stang alchaholic in this unit," the officer sneered, and continued with his speech as he paced the tiny floor of the Assault Transport, "Your normal Stormtrooper armor has been replaced to Zero-G gear, I know it is rather bulky, but it is better than being sucked out into space with the current atmospheric conditions the ISD-II Devastor's hangar is. Alright, lock 'n load. We are coming in!"

I agree whole-heartedly
let's make one that fits within the Vast Empire current timeline perfectly, can involve all Vast Empire members alike, and has a good plot
