Empire of Crime

Prologue

 "Sir,you have a message." I hear a voice echo through the room as the Lt. bursts in. 

I wave him off,continuing to look at the void of outer space.

"It's urgent. From General Leia herself,sir." His voice getting more desperate. 

I groan,getting up from my chair and dragging myself to the war room. I turn on the hologram awaiting my orders.

"Captain Andor, you know the drill. We need you on Ryloth. Many of our troops are trapped,in need of supplies. Can you do that?" Leia asks. I can sense she's focused something other than the situation. 

"Yes ma'am." I say saluting,signing off. 

"Alright men set course for Ryloth we need men ready, the Empire wants to control the outer-rim territories but they'll have to get through us." 

The ship takes the jump to light speed,cutting through the planets surrounding. I was expecting being able to prepare when the ride is cut short.

"Sir, Imperials. They've made a blockade, we can't make it through sir!" a soldier says,panic in eyes but trying to hold back his fear.

"I suppose there's no going around?" I ask. But I knew what the answer was. 

The soldier nods to the side and walks back to the cockpit. I walk over to see for myself. Nar Shaddaa, surrounded by Imperial war ships as if they are protecting it like a mother would her child. 

"I'm trying to send transmissions,it's no use, sir!" Lt. says his voice getting more and more filled with fear.

Without say, I reach for my coat and blaster. 

"Lt. grab two of your men, we're going to Nar Shaddaa. We need to get past that blockade." I say pointing at the escape pods. 

The lieutenant's eyes grow wide,his mouth slightly opened.

"Sir,are you mad?" he asks following me around. 

"No,just get your men and await my orders. We're going on Nar Shaddaa." I say sitting down and loading my blaster pistol.
