[i]"For the Emperor...?"
Just outside Tatakai's orbit, around midnight.[/i]
The sound of ships jumping out of hyperspace would be heard for those who were in space. Three massive [url=https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/4/4b/Stalker.png/revision/latest?cb=20130320005857]Star Destroyers[/url] jumped out of orbit, seemingly almost menacing in size...
If it wasn't for the fact that most people in the Dojo had already heard of the Galactic Empire.
Inside the middle Star Destroyer, two people were staring at the planet of Tatakai, seemingly waiting for something to happen.
One of them happened to be an [url=https://img00.deviantart.net/2d8d/i/2017/013/e/e/star_wars_imperial_officer___commission_by_xelandra-dava02q.jpg]Female Imperial Officer[/url], who seemed to be standing in a very similar way to former Imperial Director Orson Krennic. The other?
The other happened to be some form of [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/46/00/31/46003167f3ed4fae83d03317bbbaa128--character-concept-character-ideas.jpg]android/human hybrid[/url], two [url=https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/legacy/starwars-ea-com/en_US/starwars/battlefront/news-articles/welcome-to-rogue-one-scarif/_jcr_content/body/image_2/renditions/rendition1.img.jpg]DL-29[/url] blasters within her hand.
An officer walked up to the two.
"Ma'am, initial scans show lots of lifeforms...we don't know if they're part of the Alliance, though." The officer told the the red-head, who looked at the pad her officer had given her, then looked back out toward the planet.
"Invade one of their smaller towns or villages. I want to test out how much of their defense is available. Send a squadron of TIE fighters with them as well. And a few Death Troopers. Tell Captain Sherkov to lead them." She tells the officer, said officer saluting and leaving the two alone on the bridge.
"Shall I be necessary on this operation, Kiyala?" The hybrid asked, the red-head known as Kiyala shaking her head.
"That won't be necessary now, Katya. We'll see just how powerful their defenses are before we make any more moves." She tells her ally, the two staring outside the window overlooking the planet.

([i]Random Village, 85 miles SW of the Dojo, 5 hours later)[/i]
The sun rose...to the burning of a village.
[url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/ca/Anovos_Stormtrooper.png/revision/latest?cb=20160407220950]Stormtroopers[/url] threw civilians out of their homes, others were guarding the perimeter of the village, should anyone attempt to enter there.
[url=https://www.sideshowtoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/star-wars-first-order-flametrooper-sixth-scale-hot-toys-feature-902575.jpg]Flametroopers[/url] were burning some houses, creating smoke that flew up to the point where those at the Dojo would faintly see it.
[url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/56/Shadow_Trooper_canon.png/revision/latest?cb=20151106024927]Shadow Troopers[/url] were guarding the center of the village, where all the civilians were tied up and kneeled at in a massive circle, Shadow and Stormtroopers there as well.
An [url=https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/b8/Imperial_Army_trooper.png/revision/latest?cb=20170523015206]army trooper[/url] looked down toward an old man in the middle of said line, a Shadow Trooper guarding the army trooper.
"Where is the Rebel Alliance, old man?" The Trooper asked in a pissed off mood.
"What are you talking about? What is this Rebel Alliance?" The old man had asked the Trooper.
"SHOOT ONE OF THEM, TROOPER!" The army trooper yelled to the Shadow Trooper, who promptly killed the young man next to the old man.
"Now I ask again, soldier; where is the Alliance?!" The army trooper yelled.
Someone would have to walk in and stop a potential massacre...
[spoiler]Second part is open![/spoiler]
English
-
The unknown assailant spinned one revolver in hand, a slight trick to show off the smug grin she would have under her helmet, as she fired at a flame trooper, nailing its pack as a second later it detonated, taking it and anyone else with him. Raising the other, she shot at the army trooper then, quickly sighting the two shadow troopers with both weapons and firing at them.
-
All three went down, one of the stormtroopers making a run for it, using civilians that were in a rush out of the shuttle as some form of protection, as more stormtroopers fired onto the woman, them being blasted away by her revolvers.
-
She rushed forward, that one escaping would call reinforcements most likely, and that would cause problems. Firing at any that got in her way, she shot the escaping trooper once she got the chance.
-
The trooper fell to the ground, dead, as it would've pierced straight into another trooper nearby. Soon, a Shadow Trooper put her into a choke lock with his E-11, stopping her from shooting more troopers, as 5 of said Stormtroopers pointed their blasters at her. "That's enough of your tyranny, Rebel." One of them said.
-
Not even knowing what he meant, she couldn't speak anyways, instead jamming the heel of her boot into his foot, then flipping the man over her back. Then, in a flash of light, she vanished from sight.
-
"Where'd the hell did she go?!" Another one of the Stormtrooper asks the rest, the rest reacting by shrugging. "Find her; I'll notify Lieutenant Commander Kiyala about their defenses, and notify the [i]Belligerence[/i] to pick us up." He told them, as they spread out, leaving the Stormtrooper there to contact who was most likely their leader.
-
A few moments went by, before it was that Athena struck again, appearing from thin air as a blade under her wrist went into the Stormtrooper's neck, killing the man before he could send the message. She couldn't let them get word out, it would end with everyone in the area dying.
-
This left the Stormtrooper dead...this didn't mean his communications stopped working however. "Stormtrooper, report; we've lost contact with Captain Sherlock, and we haven't heard from his second in command; report!" Someone said on the other end.
-
Mumbling, soon enough she would have reinforcements here, which would cause problems. Bending down, she took the communications unit, keeping it to spy on their network. Somehow as well, she needed to get the people out of the place.
-
There was always the shuttle that the Stormtrooper and Army Trooper used to try and get out of the village. TIE Fighters flew into the air, perhaps making that option available if she had some way of getting into one of the pilot's chair. Speaking of which, a massive Star Destroyer flew past the village, seemingly heading West toward the Ocean.
-
Watching it go overhead, she grinned to herself, a perfect opportunity for contracts and assassinations to be made. Turning towards the old man who nearly was executed, she got his attention, then gestured to everyone, then towards the ship.
-
They all nodded (they were in her debt for saving her), as they piled into the shuttle. "W...where are you taking us, miss...?" The old man asked, clearly wondering what Athena was doing.
-
She pointed to the man then, tapping his chest, meaning for him to get the people out of there. Then she gestured to herself, and pointed to the Star Destroyer going by overhead.
-
He nods. "T...thank you, stranger!" He yells, rushing the civilians out of there and hopefully on their way to the Dojo. Which left Athena with the objective of whatever she wanted to do with the shuttle...and the Star Destroyer.
-
The Destroyer she would find a way into, sabatoge it. The shuttle would be left to the man to pilot She needed to find ways to get to the destroyer.
-
The best idea? Probably landing it in one of the many airlocks they had. Speaking of which, one was approaching now. "Where do you want me to stop, young lady?" The man asked.
-
She ordered for it to land nearby then, not knowing what to expect.
-
"Of...of course young lady." The guy said, landing the ship at the airlock. It connected, opening up to reveal a type of storage area. This should be Athena's way in.
-
Stepping inside, she glanced around the area, not knowing where she was exactly.
-
She seemed to be in, again, a storage area. For weapons...and other things. She would have to go into cover, two Stormtroopers walking near her position. ...Or she could just kill them. It was up to her.
-
She hid among the boxes, her footsteps padded by the undersoles of her boots. Crouched down, she waited for the troopers to pass.
-
Three troopers walked by. Two were the normal Stormtroopers that she saw back at the village, but one seemed...different. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/e3/Death_Trooper-Sideshow.png/revision/latest?cb=20160913102558]This trooper[/url] seemed...unique. The trooper seemingly looked a lot more elite than the Stormtroopers or even the army official back at base. None of them seemed to notice Athena, though.
-
Waiting for them to fully pass, she then cloaked as a trooper again, and went about through the ship.
-
With them passed, she ended up a hallway, various Imperial personnel walking around, or talking to one another. Most seemed to be heading straight away from her. Maybe that's where she should follow.
-
She did so, following the flow of the imperial army.
