"Copy that, Cairn Installation. Grizzle out."
Peterson maneuvered the star destroyer through the asteroids, docking underneath the installation. After the ship entered the huge hangar, the officers began to disembark. A squadron of stormtroopers passed by them, heading for the ship. One of the officers gave brief directions to the brig, then milled in the hangar with the rest of his colleagues. Grizzle headed towards Peterson.
"Do the navigational systems point this place out at all?"
Peterson shook his head.
"Nope. Must be completely off the grid."

[Hickory]

"Off the grid indeed," said the officer who had appeared in front of them. "Cairn Installation is the newest of the top secret bases used for weapons research. You're here for a different reason: We need a safe place to discuss the threat that the Rebellion now poses to us."

He turned to walk down a hallway, gesturing for the rest to follow him.

[Groddil]

Grizzle nodded at the other officers, as they all followed the new arrival down the hallway.
"Have the other ships in the fleet docked yet?"

[Hickory]

The officer spoke over his shoulder. "They'll join with us soon. The installation can accommodate a full fleet if needed. We process cortosis here, it's a lightsaber resistant mineral. Now, if you'll just follow me down into the briefing room..."

[Groddil]

"Security seems pretty high for a processing centre. Off the grid, full fleet capacity, seems pretty heavily armed. Why are we here?"
The Captain continued to follow the officer towards the briefing room.

[Hickory]

"Like I said, recent events have brought to light the level of which the Rebels have infiltrated the Empire. This is one of few places that they couldn't possibly know about. And that's where we're to discuss the next step."

[Groddil]

"What about Juno Eclipse? Did she know about this place? She defected to the Rebels, killed Admiral Graw. If she has any knowledge, expect Rebels on your doorstep."

[Hickory]

"Let me assure you, even Juno Eclipse doesn't know about this place."

The officer turned into the mission room. The holodesk showed a hologram of Cairn, before the officer changed it to something else. A planet showed on it instead, lush green and bright blue. "Fresia,0 he said. "Incom headquarters. Also a key point for Rebellion ground forces. We're going to attack it."

Next up came a hologram of a strange Star Destroyer. "The Doomgiver, a unique ship designed for ground assault without landing. Captain, you will take this vessel with an escort fleet and attack the planet. Any questions?"

[Groddil]

Grizzle studied the holograms for a minute, Peterson muttering information about Fresia under his breath. The Captain smiled when the Doomgiver popped up on Hologram and turned to the officer.
"Yes, just one. Where's the ship?"

[Hickory]

"In a special internalized docking bay, number 0" said the Imperial. "It's equipped with ground assault bloods that launch from underneath the ship. All you need to do is reach the point in orbit and hold it while the pods release. Oh, and fend off any attacks from the Rebel defense fleet... But a Star Destroyer should be effective enough."

[Groddil]

"Perfect. If that was all, I'll take my officers there now."

[Hickory]

"Dismissed, Captain." said the officer. "Good luck against the Rebels."

[Groddil]

Grizzle nodded, signalling for his officers to follow him as they left the briefing room. In short time, they were stepping onto the bridge of the Doomgiver. Officer Bardan linked communications with Captain Shivan.
"Shivan, this is Grizzle. I've been given orders to destroy a Rebel Base on Fresia, but I need another Star Destroyer to help defend the ship. Have you been assigned yet?"
"Negative, Grizzle. We're launching now, meet you at Fresia."
Grizzle closed communications with the other captain and linked back to the Cairn Installation.
"This is Captain Grizzle to Cairn Installation. Captain Shivan is accompanying the Doomgiver to Fresia to provide fire support."
"Affirmative, Captain. Good luck."
As Bardan dropped the signal, Peterson's fingers had finished adapting to the Doomgiver's controls, and he launched the ship into hyperspace.

Just taking off from the lush planet of Fresia, a small merchant freighter was almost wiped out by two huge star destroyers that jumped out of hyperspace. The freighter's captain gulped, ordering the crew to get the ship out of the way ASAP. He stared at the massive drop pods hanging from underneath the Doomgiver and immediately knew something bad was about to go down. As soon as the ship was out of the way of the star destroyers, it whizzed out of the system as fast as possible. Grizzle turned his gaze away from the retreating freighter and spoke into the intercom.
"All drop pods, ready for launch. Commencing assault on the planet in five minutes."

[Hickory]

Weapons blazing, TIE fighters engaged X-wings in swarms. Smaller Rebel frigates attempted to attack the Star Destroyers but were quickly repulsed. "Sir! said the sensor officer. "The rebels are spinning up their hypervelocity gun on the surface! We have to do something or it'll tear the ship apart!"
