***Jagga Two: The Raptors***

Studd sat in his ready room off of the Bridge of his command ship. They were ready to depart for their mission to raid a colony again. They'd hit the same colonly 4 times in the past few months with little to no resistance. Studd expected the same. During the last few raids they had secured enough financials to purchase and supply their fleet. With this raid Studd had hoped to buy a larger and more powerful command ship for himself. He did find it interesting that his right hand man had requested to stay behind on this mission. The man had been acting strange but Studd blew it off as nothing.

Studd looked at his crono. 15 minutes before departure. This is going to be easy money.

***The Empire***

The Imperial sword and her escort fleet of 16 Imperial mk X Star Destroyers, and 20 Torpedo spheres are within moments of reverting to realspace at Jagga two. The gunnery crews were ready, the intelligence they had was awesome...detailing the exact location of the Enemy Bakura destroyers. Draco Stood by the bridge view ports and waited. His crew knew their orders, they knew what to do and when to do it. All the Emporer had to do is watch the carnage. 10 seconds....

Reversion.

The Imperial fleet exits hyperspace within 10 kms of the enemy ships. The navigator had done his job perfectly. The ships immediately jam all communications and open fire. They had pre determined targets so each ship knew what it was doing. Thousands of Torpedos slammed into unshielded hulls. Turbolasers melted armor and dug into ships interiors. The raptors had no idea what was coming and were totally unprepared for it. The space between the Imperial fleet and the raptor fleet glowed emrald green. The sheer amount of fire power would be enough to power planets for days...if not weeks or months. The end result was almost predetermined. The Raptor fleet was obliterated, in a matter of 15 seconds.

With the Raptors delt with the Escort fleet followed their orders. Having preprogrammed another hyperspace jump they immediately depart the system. The Imperial Sword is the only ship left in system. It turns and preps to make its jump...just a matter of time.

***The Raptors***

Studd had just stood when his ship rocked hard, tossing him to the ground. The ship then went to full battle alert. Studd had just enough time to get up and walk to the bridge. He spoke just one word: "REPORT!" Before his ship was turned into a rapidly expanding debris cloud. The rest of the ships met the same quick death...not even knowing who their attackers were...

***Quick Reponse fleet: The GA***

On board the Mediator Battle ship My Loins, Commodore Snibit Trubor was eager to engage the enemy. They were at full battle alert and ready to pound the crap out of these puny pirates. THe GA fleet reverted to a sight that made Snibits blood run cold. There was debris every where, and in the middle of it was an unmistakeable sight. An Executor Class Super Star Destroyer. Within moments of the GAs arrival the SSD entered hyperspace. Leaving nothing but sheer destruction behind it, and a startled GA commander.

*** The Empire***

The GA fleet arrived much later then predicted. But they did arrive. Draco was pleased at that. He nodded to his helmsman who put the massive ship into hyperspace. Not bound for Bastion...no they had one detour to make prior...and several packages to offload.

*** The GA***

Snibit shot up. While the Executor was thankfully gone they still had to assess the situation. "Report!" Sensors reported that there were no survivors in the pirate fleet. From what they could determine the ships werent even firing back. It seems the Empire knew they were there, and may have known that the GA was coming. This further disturbed Snibit. He left the ships captain in command, ordering the fleet to depart immediately...while Snibit reported back to GA command....
