Imperial Ace/Pages 8-12

Ace Squadron flew out of the reactor shaft, with the frigate exploding behind them. Several Imperial-class Star Destroyers entered orbit, and all of the squads were ordered to land in a docking bay in one of the Star Destroyers. Ace and the rest of the clone pilots exited their craft. A lieutenant in a gray uniform took Ace to the bridge.


 * "So, you're the ace pilot, huh?" he asked. Ace nodded in reply.

They entered the bridge full of black armored Imperial Navy troopers and gray uniformed officers. A dark clad armored figure with a black cape moved towards them. The lieutenant bowed and Ace did the same.


 * "Here he is, Lord Vader." said the lieutenant, and left.


 * "I heard about your piloting skills. I need you and your squad to help out the troops at Kashyyyk." Vader said.

Ace nodded and left back into the hanger. The destroyer entered the system via hyperspace and several squads of TIE fighters exited, including Vader in his private shuttle. Ace and his squad received several TIE Interceptors to use. The fighters flew down towards the surface of Kashyyyk. Ace 1 and Ace 3 escorted Vader's shuttle towards the Wawaatt Archipelago.



The Occupation of Kashyyyk was short, and Ace was now transferred to Coruscant. He was resting on a bench with two Coruscant Guards, Guardsmen 112227 and Guardsmen 112228. Soon, Clone Commander Fox called them over to his position, and Ace was left alone. Then Ace got up and left, and went to the barracks. It was a boring place, but he was starving and thats where the standard military food was. When Ace was outside the door to the barracks, a female Imperial fighter squad captain approached him.


 * "I heard about your piloting skills. Would you mind joining the Black Eight Squadron?" she asked.


 * "Actually, I am a leader of my own squad." Ace replied.


 * "Oh. But if you change your mind, there is an open spot." she said, and walked away.

Ace walked inside to where the food was. Taking some, he went to his barrack block. After a while, he got a call on his comlink.


 * "You're needed at 500 Republica to destroy a building occupied by terrorists. There are a few hostages inside, but they are a small price to pay." said a voice.


 * "I'll be there," Ace replied.
