Star Wars: Dark Horizon/Chapter 9: Consumed

Conference Room, Imperial Central Command, Bastion

Ty sat next to John Heron in the Conference Room at Central Command on Bastion. Shortly after the victory on Utapau, the High Command called a meeting for all high ranking members of the military. The Sith took Coruscant and the rest of the Core Worlds an the Deep Core, and more Imperial commanders defected to the Sith.

The New Galactic Empire was renamed the Imperial Holdouts and was down to only 8 sectors. The Sith were also closing in on the capitol, so around the conference room the other troops were getting ready to defend.

After the conference, the officers left to their positions, and Ty found out that she and John were transfered to the Royal Procession, and elite unit, allot more elite than the Special Forces and the Acolytes, and then got to their positions.

Royal Procession Headquarters, Bastion

John loaded his heavy blaster and awaited with a squadron of Royal Procession agents as a Sith fleet entered the system. The massive Imperial fleet outnumbered and out matched the unsuspecting Sith first wave and destroyed them with no casualties.

The next wave was made up of three fleets, and by the looks of their savageness, Naga was furious and the fleet commanders were afraid for their lives of what would happen if they lost this time. Several transports made it through and landed. Moments later, Sith troopers burst through the door and opened fire at the awaiting Royal Procession agents. They fired back, killing several troopers.

John was blasting with his heavy blaster in their general direction, killing many of them. As the waves grew, the Royal Procession numbers were dwindling, but for every agent that fell, twenty Sith troopers were killed.

Eventually, the Sith troopers retreated, and fell back to their transports.

Military Docks, Bastion

Ty and her agents opened fire on incoming Sith forces, while above them Sith fighters opened fire on the oncoming Imperial TIEs. The battle was intense, and Ty's agents split up during the assault. Ty ran over to their transports to plant bombs on them, but ran into Azula Rhea.

Azula was furious since she thought Ty was the one who killed Mai. They dueled, and after a short while, Azula was wounded and retreated back to her ship. Meanwhile, the other agents managed drive the Sith back.

In space, the Sith fleets retreated after taking heavy casualties, but they got word that the Sith conquered the other Imperial worlds because most of the Imperial soldiers were at Bastion. The Empire was down to only 3 sectors.
