Outer Rim

​Meanwhile, an imperial star destroyer named Resilience was making its way through an asteroid field. On the command bridge stood the Admiral and a man clad in dark armor with red accents. It was old clone trooper armor. The man wore a phase II clone pilot helmet with a modified respirator.

​"Ah lord TS." The Admiral says turning to acknowledge the presence of the armored man.

​"Greetings Admiral." The armored man says in a deep and menacing voice.

​"I am glad to see that you have made a full recovery." The Admiral says.

"Full...hardly." The dark figure says looking down at his arms then down at his legs.

​​They were cybernetic replacements. Both of his arms. His right one up past his elbow and his left all the way to his shoulder. Both of his legs were just right past his knees. He was hardly human at this point. His breathing and necessity for his respirator had grown worse. Back during the Clone War when he was blown up for the first time in a dogfight, his lungs were badly damaged so he was given a modified clone pilot helmet that would work with a respirator in his chest. As he had more and more explosive accidents through the years, the advancements for the respirator got better and better but more and more painful for him. Every breath brought him extreme pain. That and the hatred for the reason he was like that kept him moving however. He looks back down at his belt and stares at his lightsabers.

​"I...am aware of that...I am truly sorry that we weren't able to...recover more of your body..." The Admiral tells him.

​"Where...where is Bat?" he asks.

​"Who, sir?" the Admiral asks.

​"Chodo Spacespawn! Bat! The leader of Bat Squadron on Utapau!" he screams.

​"Where is he!"

​"Sir...I..." The Admiral starts as he stares at the armored man who was now only inches from his face.

​​Now, four Stormtroopers and Naval Troopers were walking over with blasters in hand and aimed at the man as he reaches out with the force and start's choking the Admiral.

​"Put him down!" The first stormtrooper barks.

​"I wouldn't be so demanding, trooper." The man starts.

​"L-L-Lord TS...p-p-please..." The Admiral says as he gasps for air, falling to his knees.

​​TS stares at the Admiral in the eyes before finally releasing him from his grasp. The Admiral falls forward onto the floor and gasps for air. He looks up at TS who was now turning toward the troopers. He quickly grabs both of his lightsabers off of his belt, igniting the purple blades and cuts down the two naval troopers with slashes across their chest and cuts the stormtoopers' blasters in half before putting the blade to their necks and staring at them.

​"Stand down." TS orders the troopers.

​​They slowly raise their hands and back up before running off.

​"Listen closely Admiral." TS says deactivating his lightsabers and placing them on his belt.

​​The Admiral nods and lets out a gulp as he held his throat and was now standing up to stare at TS.

​"I am in command. Of you. Of this ship. Of these troops. We will not rest until we have captured Bat and crushed that squadron!" TS yells.

​"I...y-yes lord TS." The Admiral stutters.

​"Good." TS says.

​"I..." The Admiral starts.

​"If you need me, I will be in my quarters." TS tells the Admiral.

​"I...yes lord TS." The Admiral says letting out a sigh.

​"Why would The Doctor think rescuing him was a good idea?" one of the bridge crew asks the Admiral.

​"He's just another one of his fucked-up experiments." The Admiral tells the crewman who nods.
