Star Wars: Imperial Crusade

New Base

Home One,

Ackbar and Leia stood at the bridge and stared at the other capital ships hoping to find a new base soon.

"Princess," General Dodonna said. "I think we found a potential location for our new base at the Hoth System."

"The climate is frigid but it is not under Imperial jurisdiction," Leia said. Prepare to make the jump into hyperspace."

"Any word of what type of TIE Fighter that was used in the counter attack which we lost our defense squadron?" Leia asked.

"They appear to be called the TIE Predator," Ackbar said. "They were being manufactured before the Battle of Yavin. They also appear to have deflector shields and a hyperdrive similar to the TIE Defender."

"How," Leia asked. "They are extremely agile and the cannons are stronger and have a higher rate of fire than the both TIE Interceptors and TIE Defenders."

"That's not all," Ackbar said. "We've also learned that the Chiss Ascendancy is allying with the Empire and are manufacturing another fighter combined with Chiss and Imperial technology called the Nssis-Class Clawcraft."

"It seems that we must prepare for anything," Leia said. "For this is the start of an Imperial crusade. A crusade that would decimate our rebellion and destroy everything that we have worked hard to build."

"Princess," an X-wing pilot said. "We have scoped out the surface and it seems that we can build a base here."

"Thank you," Leia replied with a nod.

"It seems that we have a place to regroup and stop the Imperial crusade before it can fully mobilize," Leia said. "There is always hope during these dark times and hope is the reason that we are going to emerge victorious."
