Clash Of Galaxies

ISD Devious Makes the jump

Elona 31st 13AFE
Captain Willuf Wastop. Age: 53 |Commander of Imperial Star Destroyer Devious.
The Bridge| 21:15 (CGT*) 12 hours before Encounter...
*Courasant Galactic Time
"What a mighty thing this is" He whispered to himself as he looked out of the bridge onto the grey dagger that was the Devious. A mighty thing it was, turbo lasers almost everywhere and about 28 TIE fighters specially added to seek out rebel cells. Not to mention we were a Mile long (1,600M) For some bizarre reason, head strong idiots across the empire had been trying to do uprisings, thankfully there where un-organised and some of them still use the old Republic Y-wings. I must confess that the rebel star fighters do pose a significant threat but their capital ships are no match for the Star destroyers, let alone Lord Vader's Super Star Destroyer...
Annoyingly a young lieutenant disturbed him in his thought by handing him a message. From the Emperor Himself.
It read
"Captain Wastop, you have been directed into the Unknown regions and you are to map out your coordinates and send them back to Lord Vader once you have passed these coordinates. 017,889,901. Do not fail me."
"Oh great" he was thinking as he read it, "Now why the hell would the Emperor want this Star Destroyer to go into the Unknown Regions, I mean, there's nothing there for gods sake! I'd much rather be blasting some rebels than going out there" I glance over my shoulder at my 2IC (Second in Command) a decent fellow, around 27 and very keen, and Noded
Almost immediately I here the words
"Rig ship for Hyperspace"
And instantly the stars where flashing by us like spaghetti almost.

"Sir we are passing through the co ordinates now" His words were cut short as the whole ship rocked and swayed. With everyone not sitting down being flung forward. Out of the window he could see stars, not flying past the windows but stationary, stars that he could of sworn he had never seen before.
"SIR! We have exited hyperspace" his 2IC yelled across the room
"ON WHOSE COMMAND!?" he thundered, he was ready to kill whoever decided to bring us out of hyperspace. His anger was replaced by disbelief as he heard him say,
"No body sir, the engines just turned off"
"Alright, get a damage control team down there and find out where the hell we are!"
"But sir!" He protested
"JUST do it commander, or step aside so someone can do it for you!"
"But sir" he continued "None of the galactic charts work. And the co-ordinates are going haywire. Sir, I have no idea where we are"
he looked over out the bridge at the planet which was like nothing he had ever seen. A blue ish plant probably water and I hoped it was Mon Cala or he had no clue where he was or even if it was the same galaxy. And then something caught my eye, a blue spiral getting bigger and bigger until something emerged from it. What looked like a primitive ship, with the bridge on the top half built around what seemed to be a massive Projectile cannon. No Turbolasers anywhere. Or at least as not as far as he could see. What shocked me the most was the fact there was no shields. I would put an estimate around 535 meters long.
"A new rebel ship?" his 2IC asked inquisitively
"Maybe...but maybe not. The rebels never had anything this big. wait! Look there on the nose do you see it? And on the left "wing" as so to put it." he asked excitedly
"Yes I see it, an eagle with spread wings standing on some sort of planet with some letters below it"
"Well come on then! Translate it! Your meant to be an expert in foreign languages!"
"Well" he said after some time "It seems to be written as we say our language
From what I can make out on the nose it says 'UNSC Europa" and on the eagle it says 'UNSC' make of it what you will but I have no idea what 'Europa' means."
"Hmmm, well as far as I can see it has no shields but rather a lot of armour plating. Made out of a incredibly tough metal..." he stopped, I could see a flashing light on one of the deck officers screens; the Communications officers desk.
A male voice of all things spoke out
"UNSC Europa to UFO, if you can hear or understand this, respond to the hail in anyway possible."
"Sir, there is a Unknown frequency trying to hail us!"
He scratched my forehead and grimaced, what would this weird species look like, clearly capable of advanced travel, maybe even faster than light but not yet capable of shields? Well considering this would be the first contact with the new species ever made by a Imperial, certainly in this area, Quite a momentous event.
"Put them through" He said.
The screen pulsated as it looked for signal and then it found one and the picture cleared up. At first all I could see where the words 'UNSC' on the back of a grey military suit, although I could see that they was talking to someone. Somebody holding a weapon we would consider ancient. An Assault Riffle with projectile rounds instead of lasers. Clad in thick armour this Humanoid Marine Sergeant indicated to the screen and the thing turned around and smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you, My name is Captain Jamie Mills of the United Nations Space Command, or UNSC." He was tall, had short brown hair, and was around 40 in age.
"Uh" He hesitated "I'm Captain Willuf Wastop. I represent the Galactic Empire. Can I ask what species you are Captain?"
"Human"
"Human? But 'We're human Captain, therefore you are now under the protection of us, you are to return to Courasant with us without delay."
He chuckles slightly
"Ah ha. We're under the Control of the UNSC to protect this area from tyranny, not let some idiot enter from "another galaxy" and claim it as a forward base" he says at the end adding a hint of venom. The situation is escalating rapidly.
"You better watch your tone Captain, you are speaking to the Captain of the Imperial Star Destroyer Devious, not some blockade ru-"
Mills cut him off
"And You! Are speaking to the Captain of the Heavy Frigate Europa. Why this may not be the largest of ships but I assure you, if you dare fire on us you will regret it"
"We shall see about that, Your unshielded ship will be no match for us!" He yelled. "Cut the mic"
He glanced over to the communications officer
"Contact Lord Vader, send him our current location and tell him that we have engaged a hostile ship"
"All batteries fire!" He watched as green lasers splash against the broadside of the Frigate. The Red alarm lights started flashing on the bridegroom of the "Europa" with the captain making a gesture to the marines and towards our ship. He chuckled and thought "Primitive beings, there's no way they'll be able to penetrate our Shields." but then to his utter disbelief the ship turned and fired a round and then he blacked out.
When he woke up the screen was black and the slow droning imperial alarm was going off. Massive ringing in my ears was almost unbearable. He turned to my 2IC
"What the hell just happened?"
"The ship fired what appeared to be a rail gun round straight through our shields, the metal which I believe they call Titanium absorbed all our weapons."
"How on Courasant did a ship 1/3 our size manage that?"
"I don't know sir"
"SIR!" It was the irritating Lieutenant again. "We have a hull breach; decks 8-12!"
"Get the damage control parties down there immediately!" He thundered
"Launch TIE Fighters immediately and prep boarding craft. Leave no Survivors" He said with a grimace. Their main ship maybe able to withstand us but there crew should be no match for imperial stormtroopers...
