Planet: Earth/Chapter Five

1 ABY, Echo Base, Hoth, Anoat Sector "Generals Rieekan and McQuarrie please report to War Room 13. Repeat, Generals Rieekan and McQuarrie please report to War Room 13, over." said Ace's voice over the intercom all over Echo Base.

Soon enough, the two generals came running through the door to the room.

"What is it, General Ace?" asked McQuarrie, as all three saluted each other.

"Approxamitely three standard days ago, Scout Task Force ONT-55 went out to scout the nearby sectors and returned after a battle with an Imperial task force, right? Well one of the lead ships, a Correlian blockade runner was reported missing after the battle."

"So?" asked Rieekan. "That stuff happens all the time."

"You're right," said Ace. "But, that ship just happened to be the ship that captured a small TIE Advanced and it's pilot, and the last transmission we got from the ship stated that the pilot had known a lot Imperial top secret imformation. They did a mind probe on him, and he was telling the truth, and no harm was done to the man. However, we detected a major hyperspace disturbance in the area, one which we can only identify as a wormhole. we've picked up two Ion trails leading to the wormhole, one leading from the positions of our fleet, so therefore, the ship must have fallen into the wormhole with the other Imperial ship." finished Ace.

"Whoa, whoa whoa, wait a second, so you're saying that the ship—"

"And the Imperial ship."

"Right, you're saying that the two ship were sucked into the wormhole and transported, to a different galaxy, or even a different universe?" cried Rieekan in dibelief.

"Yep."

"Well, what do you want us to do?" asked McQuarrie.

"Since I'm only a ground general now, I can't make you do anything, but what I want you to do is to send a task force, doesn't have to be a big one, through the wormhole and recover the ship and its crew, or the Imperials know what the consequences will be if we don't."

"I'll get to work on it right away." said McQuarrie.

"Remember, there are possibly Imperial troops on whatever planet they're on too, and if there are locals, they might not be friendly."

"I'll remember." said McQuarrie.

"After you get the equipmet and crew ready, get them to meet me for furthrer breifing." said ace.

"We will." said McQuarrie and Rieekan as they walked away.
