The galaxy is quiet and vast, every direction is an empty dark space. Suddenly out of nowhere, a giant star destroyer emerges from hyperspace! The behemoth sized triangle shaped fleet carrier brings fear to those who gaze upon it's elegance.

The ship is commanded by Admiral Genie, who oversees not just one but two Imperial Star Destroyers, one called the Hammer and the other called the Grey Wolve. Inside each ship houses a multitude of tie fighters, bombers, and other weapons of mass destruction. For each squadron, there are 12 pilots, with over 100 pilots ready to fly, battlegroup I is ready to take on any task or assignment.

Genie commands his fleet to engage in routine patrols across the local systems. Keeping a vigilant eye for any troublemakers. He sends Gamma and Beta squadrons first and the squadrons deploy to patrol, with their pilots relaying any information they discover

"Gamma 2-1 here, nothing to report. All readings nominal"

"Gamma 2-2, I'm on your wing. Hold that report, We're picking up something on our scanner. Some small craft is emerging from hyperspace"

Admiral Genie rubs his long pointed beard and ponders on the update.

"Send a ping to their ships, see why they are in this system without approval" admiral genie commands

"Roger, Roger. Attention unidentified ship, submit and hold for inspection"

Gamma squadron approaches the ships and as they draw near, their scanners indicate their are stolen cargo and passengers hidden aboard the craft.

"Hey now, whats this about? We're civilians making our way to the next system, there's no need for trouble" asks the ship captain.

"A likely story, we're picking up cargo and passengers that are not on your ships manifest. Care to explain?"

"Uhh… well you see the thing is.."

The pilot trails off and engages his thrusters as full speed.

"Quick, they're making a run for it. Open fire!"

Gamma and Beta squadron fly into the ships and open fire. Unleashing a barrage of lasers into space. Striking the shields, the ships craft begins taking damage.

"Shields are going down soon, should we disable them and send a boarding party?"

"Affirmative, perhaps they could lead us to a bigger part of their operations. Do not let them escape." Orders Genie

The fighters descend and strike all ships with ion canons, dropping down their shields and disabling their engines and systems.

"Sir, we've disabled their craft. Ready for the boarding party!"

Admiral Genie sends an assault transport from the hammer to perform a docking operation, one is not enough and he sends three fully loaded transports with boarding parties.

"Transports are away, Gamma and Beta squadrons. Escort the transports, we must ensure they reach their target and complete their mission."

"Yes sir! Heading to your target"

The squadrons escort the transports as they make their way to the disabled craft. With no opposition, the transports dock and board each ship.

"Hey watch it, where are you taking us!?" Shouts the captain of the ships

"Quiet you, you know what you're in for? This is the Emperor's Hammer! Should have picked a different system to mess with. We're bringing you in for questioning."

"Please, take me but let the women and children go free. We're helping them reunite with their families after being torn apart from the wars"

"Yeah yeah, that's what they all say" as the trooper stuns the captain with his blaster.

"Anymore lip from the rest of you and you'll suffer the same consequences, now single file line up and board the transports"

The prisoners are taken aboard the transport and into the holding cells.

"Destroy their ships, they no longer will be needing these"

The ships are exploded by a barrage of lasers as debris flies off into space in a magnificent explosion.

"Job well done pilots. Head back to the hanger, mission complete"

The pilots return to the hanger and disembark from their ships. They celebrate with drinks and enjoy the rest of their day after a long patrol mission.
