Things Get Started
Jonas Telmarine, Commodore of the star destroyer fleet that was within 2 light years of Threshold system, was sitting in his command chair, looking out into space through the glass. His particular star destroyer was part of a small fleet of ten including itself. They had been sent on this mission by the Emperor himself, saying that with the experimental 'super' space drive that the empire has been working on for quite some time now, he would be able to expand his empire to other galaxies. Nobody thought the super space drive would work, but when the ten star destroyers that were picked to be on the maiden voyage ended up in some unknown space they supposed it worked..They also surmised they ended up in some different galaxy by reports of a scout saying that he saw a ship that resembled a bugs carcass and was attacked by teardrop shaped fighters.
So now that they knew they had entered a different galaxy and had encountered an intelligent species, they wondered how they would get back. They hadn't worked all the bugs out on the super space drives apparently, because theirs shut down immediately after exiting 'super space' and wouldn't start up again. Fortunately they thought ahead and placed a regular hyper drive on the ships incase they were stuck there. They had also been issued new tie fighters with a small distance hyper drive for scouting missions and super laser cannons with three times the destructive capability.
As Jonas let the new information of a new intelligent species with space ships slosh threw his brain, he got a transmission from one of his neighboring star destroyers who was under the leadership of Joseph Telmarine, his twin brother, "So Jonas," said Joseph with a grim look on his face, "Should we go to the go to this ship and see what our competition is, or wait for Lord Vader for his aid and counsel." Before the fleet had left on their maiden voyage Lord Vader told them that if they were gone for more than 1 week, his super star destroyer and fifty other regular star destroyers would come to try and find them. Jonas, being in charge of the fleet, would pretty much decided their fate. "Well," said Jonas after much deep thinking, "If the reports are correct and there is only one ship, I think we can hazard a look at this new alien vessel." So the word was spread round the fleet and they all jumped into hyper space.
It had been a cycle since the sighting of the mysterious 'orb', and everyone was still curious. 'Tanamee had spoken to many fellow Elites about this encounter and the entire ship had accepted the title of 'orb' as the name for these ships, and the Ship Master was very good to 'Tanamee and offered him the rank of Sub Ship Master under him since the previous one had taken off with 'Fastanees fleet of fighters and was the one that was blown to pieces. 'Tanamee graciously accepted, and found that things were finally looking up.
Since there was no armor of Sub Ship Master on board, and nothing of higher rank fitted 'Tanamee, they settled the matter by engraving the rank mark of Sub Ship Master on his blue armor. He had just stepped into the bridge when an alarm went off. He stepped onto the control platform and looked into the center view screen. Ten star ships had appeared out of no where right in the outskirts of the planet. They were large, grey, and shaped like roughly hewn daggers. "They're deploying interceptors," called an Elite that had taken 'Tanamees place. "Well, we shall have to send out our own then," Ship Master 'Selkatee said with a tone of hatred, "Send out our own fighters, and see if they're any good with a dog fight."
Within minutes of giving the order it was carried out. Scores of seraph fights were speeding out into the blackness of space to the meet the orbs of the strange fleet. Among those fighters was 'Fastanee, who finally got his wish of trying to shoot at something that would shoot back.'Fastanee darted out with the rest of his squad and set the controls to get ready for a fight. He saw the little orbs flying toward them and thought he might as well take the first shot. He picked one that was nearer the front, took aim, and fired. The orb's shields flickered, but did not go down. He shot twice more and finally it was turned to molten slag. "'Shoot fast my brethren," 'Fastanee spoke into the com link, "These orbs are more powerful than expected, make sure we send as many as we can to heck!" The orbs decided to take action and fired charged laser blasts in waves. Three seraphs went down in the volley, but by then the two fighter groups met in the middle.
