'Captain,' the Admiral started, noticing the apprehension in the Star Destroyer's crew as they strained themselves to listen while trying not to be noticed. The shaken Captain of the Star Destroyer saluted crisply. The crew of the Star Destroyer looked on in what he noticed was a renewed vigor as he strode forward, his black combat armor reflecting the overhead hanger lights, his long black trench coat waving gently as the shuttle vented atmosphere.

The Admiral nodded at an officer tending her station as the memories of the pivotal moment that had set their career alight so many years ago came to mind.

Around the Admiral was the crew busy at their stations, waiting for the time to strike back at the Rebellion that had hurt them so dearly.

The sting of loss from the Battle of Endor still pierced the Admiral's chest as the bridge crew watched a stray Imperial Class Star Destroyer be herded towards his fleet by a squadron of similar ships.
