Lorven listened as Ramage outlined his plan. It seemed well thought out. The prospect of being able to subjugate the planet without need for any lengthy ground engagements was an appealing one. However, Lorven couldn’t help but feel that Ramage’s backup plan may end up being necessary. He agreed...

“A pity. But anyway, it’s your loss.” Janier clicked his fingers at one of the guards, who was carrying Janier’s cloak. The man scurried over and gently draped the cloak over Janier’s shoulders. “Until we meet again, Kravus.” Janier swiftly turned and strutted back to his tent, his guards...

“Yes, he provides such excellent conversation.” Lorven smiled. Fortunately, even though she had suffered some injuries, Kalique seemed ok. The imperial’s role in the attack was nearly complete. The only thing left was for the other small group of imperial soldiers, that had been tasked with...

The charges were quickly planted on the two remaining cannons. Lorven was acutely aware that they needed to get things moving. Kalique’s assertion that there were no enemies incoming did reassure him somewhat. “Charges planted, sir!” Lorven took a few seconds to survey the room. They had...

Pressing the attack, the imperial troops picked off the enemy soldiers one by one. The first cannon was in sight. They had brought explosives to destroy them. However, before Lorven had a chance to signal to one of the troops carrying the explosives, Kalique took matters into her own hands. A...

The section of the door was propelled into those waiting behind it. Soldiers were sent flying, bones broken or shattered. Those unlucky enough to be trapped behind the door were crushed against the wall at the far side of the room. The other enemy troops, determined to protect the cannons...

They broke through the opposition’s resistance with minimal difficulty. Kalique led the way, with the others following behind. Swiftly moving down level by level, any enemies who weren’t swatted aside by Kalique were then picked off by the imperial troops. Lorven noticed the shot graze Kalique’s...

Ramage’s response as to what they could expect from the communication from command was clear and straight to the point. Lorven appreciated that. No needless prattling. As quickly as Ramage had finished his sentence, the communication came through. The hologram projected over the table. A young...

Lorven could feel that Kalique was unhappy with his decision. He didn’t need to be a force user to sense it. They had a job to do, so she would have to get on with things. Once Kalique breached the entrance, Lorven and the troops followed in her wake. Most of the remaining enemy forces had...

The final push to the entrance was without incident. The imperials troops who had been dropped off on the other side of the roof had also managed to fight their way to the entrance. Lorven observed as Kalique encouraged the last few opposition soldiers to surrender. The remaining enemies had...

Lorven had limited experience with force users. Seeing Kalique jump into action was quite a sight. The wave of shots fired in her direction were swatted aside with seemingly little effort. She then ignited her lightsaber; the orange blade illuminated the surroundings. More shots were deflected...

The flight towards the target had been perilous. Anti-aircraft guns launched a barrage of fire at the ships. One by one, Janier’s ships were blown from the sky. Fortunately, the shuttles managed to avoid the same fate. By the time they reached the tower, only a few of Janier’s ships remained...

Lorven remained behind cover, occasionally peeking out and taking pot-shots at the attackers. The tide of the battle had changed. The surviving imperial knights were routing the dissidents. The survivors were running for their lives, desperately scrambling to escape the knights. Lorven emerged...

“A knight! How quaint.” Janier leaned forward, taking his legs off the table. “Make sure she doesn’t get in the way Kravus. Don’t make a mess of things.” Janier spoke to Lorven like a teacher lecturing a child. “I assure you that knight Demici will be of great help to us. If it is ok with you...

Ramage’s greeting was friendly. He almost seemed to smile. Lorven couldn’t help but notice the Harch’s partially missing limb. Perhaps a battle wound. He respected those who were battle hardened. Ramage then took the time to give a short speech. Lorven wasn’t aware of Ramage’s history. He didn’t...

Lorven was quick to clear up the misunderstanding. “The aerial attack is to allow us to land our shuttles on the tower which houses the heavy cannons. Janier’s ships are to help us make sure we can land our shuttles on that tower. Once we have done that, we will make our way down the tower on...

The Empire’s operations on Jaminere had taken on greater importance because of the loss of imperial territory. With that in mind, Lorven felt a great sense of pride in being entrusted to lead the imperial taskforce assigned to the planet. The civil war on Jaminere had already caused a...

The two soldiers dropped to the floor, cut down by the shots Lorven had fired. Some of the other soldiers stopped in their tracks, turning to face Lorven. Damn. He hadn’t taken time to think about his actions. He wasn’t really equipped for a confrontation, and he was heavily outnumbered. Bang...

Lorven strode through the pristine corridors of the ISS Tarkin. It was an impressive vessel and, at present, a hive of activity. The task at hand was clear: to secure Columex. It wasn’t a place that Lorven had visited before, but he was aware of its reputation for gambling. He was expected at...

Lorven traipsed through the streets. The last few days had been particularly tiring, as he had to complete a number of reports that had been handed to him at the last minute. His superiors had sent him to carry out a check of the local authorities, but, almost inevitably, more work had been...
