Imperial Ace/Pages 1-4

Ace gazed at the Galactic City as he walked down a ramp of a freighter. He came from a snow planet called Rehn Var. Ace's father was an admiral in the Republic Navy and wanted Ace to follow in his foot steps. Ace decided to become a fighter pilot. They did not allow regular humans become part of the Republic Navy or the Grand Army, but sense he was an admiral's son, he was allowed to.

He walked down the ramp and through the crowds of people. Westport was a busy spaceport, second to Eastport, on the other side of Coruscant. Near a space lane, Ace stood at a small stop where an air taxi operated by an alien swooped down in front of him.


 * "Zewx veris?" asked the alien, saying, 'Where to?'


 * "Republic Naval Academy, please." answered Ace.

The air taxi raced up through air buses, cargo transports, Coruscant Guard BARC speeders, and other air taxis. They entered a space lane, filled with numerous speeders and transports. Ace looked around and recognized the Jedi Temple, and a few miles away, the Senate Building. The taxi took an offramp and landed at a large station at Lot 5732. The alien motioned Ace to get off.


 * "Wrer skjd veris walkhd. Rnejfdjps viheds arneos nvort ptier atrt fdjk Acrefmy" said the alien, saying, 'You have to walk. Residential vehicles are not permitted near the Academy'.


 * "Thanks for the ride." said Ace, tossing a credit chip to the alien.

The Air taxi sped away, and Ace walked down an alleyway towards the Academy. After a while, he got there. In the lobby, he entered his name, and designation. Sliding doors at Elevator 1138 opened and a droid told him his barrack block number, and cot number. Ace walked in the elevator, and the doors closed.

The elevator doors opened and Ace walked down a hallway full of clone troopers, and some other regular human cadets. Ace walked into his room, Barrack Block 3434. He walked towards his cot and read a holosheet. Ace put on his clone pilot armor and went to the training simulator. A clone sergeant greeted him inside and Ace sat down at a simulator next to some other clone pilots.


 * "Here, we will test your skills and what you know," he began. "You will be timed in the simulator. In the simulators, you will get to use a V-19 torrent and must survive as long as possible, when you are surrounded by a Separatist fleet. Begin."

Ace put on his simulation helmet and held on to the makeshift controls. He was suddenly surrounded by a fleet, like the sergeant said. Ace swooped towards one of the vessels, followed by droid fighters. Thinking of a maneuver he made up, Ace turned the V-19 around, blasted five vulture droids in three seconds, and quickly turned around. He went inside a tunnel that led into a cruiser. six vulture droids followed, and there were also turbolaser emplacements on the sides of the tunnel. He went right at one of the guns, but then flew under it, and causing the slow reacting droids to crash into it. Two more vultures were behind him, but Ace found the reactor. He fired, making a giant explosion, but he wasn't able to turn around in time. The reactor blew up the ship, the v-19, the vulture droids, and the crew of the vessel.

He took off the simulation helmet and looked on the screen. The time was 13 minutes and 47 seconds. All of the clone troopers where looking at him. They must of got shot down before Ace did.


 * "Great work!" exclaimed the clone. "The highest out of the other cadets was 6 minutes and 23 seconds. You might actually amount to something."

After that class, all of the other clones shook hands with him, and congratulated him. This was a good first day. Ace got a good reputation in the next few days that followed. Every cadet known about him, and Ace was sent to the frontlines early. He got to pilot a V-19, sense it was his favorite.



Ace was stationed on a Venator-class Star Destroyer, Star of the Senate, in orbit of Mygeeto. There was a battle going on in Mygeeto's capital city, and Ace participated in the bombing of several droid factories. Then, he was called to the hanger.
