Star Wars: Golden Blood Book 1

Chapter 4

Salus still couldn't believe the promotion he got, he hoped the commander made the right choice. Meanwhile, in the core worlds, just over the planet Kuat, an Imperial Inquisitor were on board a Imperial Class Star Destroyer, one of the most well known and the most dangerous ships in the Empires navy. The Inquisitor, only known as Imperius, sat there meditating before sensing the losses of one of his Imperial Scouts. "Sir, we have reports here saying one of our Cruisers was destroyed in the Rishi System." said an Imperial Junior Officer. "Set a Course for the Rishi system, we will investigate further when we arrive." Imperius said without any hesitation, any emotion, and without even opening his eyes. Yet, he could sense the fear in the officer as he left, even in his state, he could make people fear him. Imperius got up and went to the bridge and arrived just in time to see the jump from normal space into Hyperspace. Back in the Rishi system, Salus was working on his X-wing hoping to tune it to better suit his needs, as when he was fighting the TIEs, he was performing at peak efficiency. "That should do it, what do you think R3, think it will fly better?" Salus said out loud to his droid. R3-S7 responded with multiple chimes and chirps of excitement. "Why don't we take it for a spin." As Salus said that the alarm for battle went off and the loud speaker called for all wings to ready their fighters for battle. "Well, looks like we will find out now, load up R3, we got some rebelling to do." Salus climbed into his ship and readied all systems. Just then he got a Transmission from a private frequency. "Salus, this is Commander Keller, I have a private mission for you and you alone, I want you to board that Star Destroyer and take out its commander, once that is done you will capture or eliminate the rest of the bridge crew and allow us to enter, giving us a Prime opportunity to take over this ship and put it to our use, understood?" "Yes Ma'am, I will see this mission through." "Alright, good luck and may the force be with you." The transmission came to an end. Why did she choose me when there are so many other more qualified soldiers ready for this mission? He thought it best to just follow orders and get the mission done. He launched his X-Wing into space and joined the battle, heading straight for the Star Destroyer, ready to take it over for the Rebels.
