Star Wars: Alliance Civil War/Prologue

Chapter I: 0 BBY
Orbiting an unidentified world, or large object, were starships, by the looks to be a fleet, as a brown haired uniformed dressed male had stood behind one of the starship's windows with others behind him. He could see the other few sixty starships either beside his ship or near the planet. From the look on his face, he was proud of everything he had achieved and did not feel shame, or regret, for the things he had done to get here.

"The final touches are almost complete..." He spoke in a voice so low, so soft as another man had been standing directly behind him.

The other man was dressed the same as him but his uniform was colored differently, being more grayer than his. He could already tell that the man behind him was thinking, about all the hours, the days, the weeks, the mouths until he stopped at years, he had doubts but they were slowly seized by the sheer size of the object in front of him.

"Of course." The other man spoke, his voice of determination sparked in the mind of the other man as he had put on a smile.

But of course, his smile broke as mechanical breathing was heard to be approaching from behind, turning around the man had looked upon a black suited figure with a cape and a helmet that struck him with a bit of fear as the figure had stopped right in front of him. The other man had bowed, placing his right arm behind his back as he had excused himself before walking away from the two. The breathing was loud, the man had broke a small sweat whilst looking into the helmet as the figure then placed both of his hands on the sides of his waist.

"Impressive..." The figure, said with a distinctive voice, had looked over the brown haired man and out of the window behind him. "Most impressive..." The man had sighed, silently, in relief as the mechanical breathing didn't seem to stop, no it went on forever as it had been pushing fear towards those in his presence.

The man turned back around to look outside of the window and moved aside for the figure to move forward, closer to the window. "Yes. Once the dish is in place, the testing phase, of this ultimate superweapon, will begin... Lord Vader." The man said as he looked at the back of Vader's helmet then at the window. "No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now." The man spoke out as Vader then turned around to face the man.

"Tarkin's trust in you, Motti, to me is misplaced and strong, but mine isn't." The mechanical breathing Vader replied to Motti, up close to his face. "Regardless as it may be, you have done a great deal of observation in overseeing the final construction of this weapon." Vader had walked by him, walking out of the room with other men dressed in either gray, dark gray or black colored uniforms watching him walk out.

Walking out of what was the bridge to the hanger bay of the starship, Vader's breathing and walking had those he walked by in fear. His suit, so clear that a reflection of those were reflecting off his suit as they were silent as he went by, making himself look menacing. Vader could sense their fears, the strong feeling of fear had him to feel a bit... overwhelming and knowing that their fears were centered around Vader being displeased with them was what had him to keep moving forward as he did all those years at the Temple. Those thoughts haunted him still to this day, but not once did he feel remorse about the things he's done... nor that one time. Perhaps he does, perhaps not.

Chapter II: 5 BBY
Above a desert world, a ship had come out of hyperspace and descended towards the surface of the planet. The ship carrying was two droids of absolute importance.

The golden plated droid had gotten up and walked to the cockpit of the ship but stopped. "Oh, I do hope that we don't run into any trouble with this person." The droid said to the other droid as the ship was closing in on the planet's atmosphere. The other droid had chirped in a series of beeps, boops and whistles in which the golden droid understood perfectly.

The door to the cockpit opened as one of the pilots stuck their heads out. "We're approaching the surface now. You should strap yourself in, its gonna get a little bumpy." He said as the door had shut and he looked back forward.

The other pilot then fliped and pressed a few buttons. "Hey, do you really think that what Eclipse said about this person being an extremely rare Chiss?." She asked as light turbulence rocked the ship. From what they heard about what the two droids were talking about earlier was that they were looking for a Chiss, not just any Chiss though.

The other tried to keep the ship steady as they traveled through the atmosphere. "I don't know. We were just asked to fly these two droids to Tatooine and let them do their thing, thats all so keep focused on your flying before we end up in five places on the ground." He answered. From his reaction, he only wanted to do his job good as he was asked and wanted his co-pilot to do the same as she nodded.

She then steadied her grip on the control sticks of the shuttle as it had gotten through the turbulence and pinpointed a landing zone in the nearby spaceport that they immediately saw from above and decided to land there than to land in open space. Extending out the landing gear, the pilots had set down the shuttle nice and steady as the two droids were seated, straped in and waited for the pilots to say when it was okay to unstrap.

The door to the shuttle had extended down as the two droids and the pilots walked out to look around for anyone creeping the area. The pilots then say its all clear and tells the two droids to go and find the person they came for so they could be done and off this rock before the sun sets.

The golden droid then turned around to look at the little white and blue astromech behind him. "Come on, R2." He said as they both started walking out of the hanger bay with the two pilots standing guard so no one would distract, or bother, them.

Upon reaching the outside of the landing bay, the two droids could see a lot of scum. Different kinds of species, most of which the golden droid did not recognize and was feeling nervous about being on Tatooine again but since that R2 was with him, he felt a bit a-okay. Continuing on walking, the droids had passed on by a cantina, stopping and looking towards it the gold droid had a feeling that the person they were looking for was in there so they went in.

"Hey!. Get out!." The bartender yelled out at the two droids as they stopped and looked.

The golden droid looked up at the man. "Excuse me?." He said in absolute politeness.

The bartender was about to approach the droids, but someone got in front of them. The golden droid looked up to see an alien of rarity condition. A purple-eyed Chiss, the droid thought to itself as the alien then walked by them to exit the cantina with R2 beeping, turning his head piece to face the alien walking out as he went after the alien. The golden droid later followed behind the little blue astromech.

Following the purple-eyed Chiss, the two were behind her, as they saw to be female, and didn't stop at all. The Chiss looked to the right far enough to see behind herself as she had noticed the two droids following her and so she thought of luring the both of them into an allyway and confront them with her blaster. Turning to the left and picked up her pace, the two droids saw her turn and continued to follow her but as soon as they got around the corner, they had lost her.

The golden droid looked down at R2. "Now look at what you did!." He kicked him as R2 beeped and chriped. "What do you mean its not your fault?. Its always your fault." He finished.

The Chiss then came out of nowhere, holding the golden droid back against the wall as he was panicking. R2 was about to zap the Chiss but was held at gunpoint with a blaster pistol as the female had looked up at the droid.

The golden droid shook his head from right to left. "Oh!. Please don't shoot!." He cried out.

She then pressed against his chest. "Who are you?!. Why are you following me?!." She demanded an answer from the droid who was afraid as R2 couldn't do anything at all.

He then calmed down. "Oh... well if you let me go th-" He was interrupted.

She slightly loosen her grip against him. "I'll let you go once you tell me why you're following me." She replied. The golden droid felt that he didn't want to anger her further more and agreed to her condition.

He then nodded. "I see. Ahem, R2?." He looked down at the little astromech as he went on to play a message for the woman.

A woman had appeared with two buns in her hair and a white princess-like dress on. "Hello, Zexi 'Nrahom. My name is Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. You're probably wondering who we are, or these droids so to answer your question, we had one of our close agents follow you but didn't want her to approach you directly so you wouldn't get the wrong idea instead we assigned the two of our most trusted droid duos." She explained as she had waved her hand to the droids and then R2 projected another image with the shape of a starship and with the message still playing.

"We would like to have you part of the Alliance Fleet and in our struggle against the Empire, seeing it that you served as an admiral during the Clone Wars and in exchange for your service, we present to you your old command ship. The Allegiance of Honour." Zexi looked at the starship hologram, letting go of the golden droid and turned her body to face the astromech.

The projected hologram of Leia then placed her hands together. "We do hope that our droids return with you from Tatooine. This is our desperate hour, we need your help." The message ended as the two droids then waited for a response from the woman.

She turned her head to the golden droid. "The Empire..." The droid looked up at her. "...took her..." She said to the droids, looking down and thought about her choices.

"Did she mean what she said, droid?." She asked the droid as the astromech whistled and chirped in agreement. "...then I'll come with you, only because they took my Shaxa away from me." She finished as she then followed the two droids back to their shuttle.

Reaching the landing bay, the two pilots looked at the woman with a bit of amazement. Zexi didn't say anything to the two others and did not speak to them at all, she only wanted to speak with the droids. Getting onboard the shuttle, the pilots had gotten the ship to lift itself off the ground and fly into the atmosphere and out back to high orbit to head back to wherever they came from.
