The Starkiller Base is dominated by an unforgiving, frozen landscape. Expansive fields of black walls stretch for miles. I step into the elevator and press the button for level nine, my feet tapping nervously on the floor.

I've recently been promoted to Captain, now in charge of overseeing individual starships. Climbing the ladder has been challenging, but I've proven myself in countless battles with the Resistance, and now it's my time to shine and prove my worth to the First Order.

As the lift stops, I step out, walking through the hallways until I find myself in front of a large door that slides open with a soft hiss.

A few heads turn towards me, and General Hux calls out, 'Captain (Y/N)!' I walk confidently towards the glowing table where everyone is gathered. The table, much like a projector, displays a 3D visualization of our starfleet and strategic plans.

General Hux walked towards me, resting a hand on my shoulder. "Welcome, Captain. I believe you have fully adjusted to your new position." He turned to face the others at the table. "Everyone, I would like you to meet Captain (Y/N). She will be commanding our Starkiller base from now on."

The people around the table nodded in acknowledgment before introducing themselves.
Captain Phasma stepped forward, extending her hand for a handshake. I grasped it firmly. "I'm intrigued to see another woman joining the First Command. I hope we work well together," she said, her tone calm but commanding.
I nodded and replied, "Likewise, Captain."

Phasma gave a slight nod of approval before turning back to the table.

The room was filled with an air of determination and unity—an understanding that we all had a shared purpose. I looked at the glowing projection on the table, the 3D visualization of our starfleet pulsating with energy, detailing plans and movements that would soon be set in motion.

Hux continued the briefing, pointing out specific elements of the strategy. I listened attentively, absorbing every detail.

The weight of my new position pressed on me, but it was also exhilarating.

I had worked hard to get here, and now, surrounded by the best of the First Order, I was ready to take command and prove myself worthy of the responsibility.
