heres a little of my other story and I have scrapped the one i posted b4

“Ok, everybody into the boarding craft, move move!”“Yes sir!” replied the ten men in his first wave attack team.They were being sent to help overtake a small blockade runner. Thrak and his team would see the hardest fighting, but they were the best and had seen much worse combat than they anticipated to find on this small blockade runner. Thrak had some small idea about what was going on but the rest of the team, they also had no idea why this small ship was worth a huge star destroyer like the Devastator's time, it was hardly a star destroyers mission to bother with such insignificant rebel scum. Especially when you consider the commander of this ship was non other than Darth Vader himself.“Everybody strapped in?” Thrak asked as he fastened his five point harness.There was a nodding of helmets. The TIE boarding craft took off out of the hanger.“Ok standard attack formation, we shouldn't be fighting many real soldiers. I am guessing mostly blaster pistols I want all of you back alive we also have a special objective, we need to find a Princess Leia, apparently she is the reason for all this crap. So lets find her, so we can get back to our very important other business, like napping,” Thrak said smiling but his voice unit barely betrayed a small amount of emotion.The boarding craft slammed against the side of the blockade runner and the TIE's hatch mounted laser cutters sliced through enemy ship's entry hatch. The door blew in and the stormtroopers ran into the hall firing their weapons. Thrak nailed a rebel almost immediately, his bunkmate, and friend Juat Kalia was shot and was critically wounded.“Medic! I got a man down!” Thrak shouted though his helmets closed comm system. He took aim and hit another rebel and killed him. The teams medical officer moved from the back to give aid to the fallen troopers.“Ok lets keep going, anyone else wounded? ok you three come with me, reload and lets roll. “On me on me! Fire at will, but Lord Vader wants the princess alive.”“Roger that,” replied the remaining stormtroopers.“Ok the rest of the soldiers have boarded it is only a mop up operation now, lets keep moving. Over there!”Princes Leia pulled a blaster but Thrak was faster he shot her with a stun ray and she fell onto the ships deck.“Alright pick her up lets get her to Lord Vader.”Two of the stormtroopers picked up a Leia and carried her out of the Tantive IV and into the Devastator's hanger bay.“We'll take her from here. Thank you, and good work,” said a high ranking Devastator official.“Alright move it to the gear room. I will catch up with you guys later.”The remaining stormtroopers walked off, as Thrak waited for the MedVac team to come off so he could see how his wounded men where he knew that two had died, and he was hoping that Juat was alright though he feared the worst he saw were the bolt impacted and he was pretty sure Juat wasn't going to make it, then two MedVac troopers came off the ship Thrak walked up to them and asked“Have you guys seen a guy, I.D. code IF-483 name Juat Kalia.”“Yeah, he is in Medbay B-17.”“Thank you, I need your lead man in debrief room ASAP,” said Thrak after he took off his helmet. “Hey do you have a narc?”“Yeah sure you look like you need one,” the medic said reaching into one of his belts pouches and handing Thrak a narc pack.“Thanks I'll see you later.” Thrak said as he walked towards the adjacent debriefing room.___________________________________________________“Alright good work out there soldiers we accomplished our mission with a minimum of casualties. We lost a total of seven soldiers but we killed or captured twenty-five rebel forces. Not including a rather large thorn in the side of the Empire Princess Leia Organa. I need a written report from all the team leaders starting with Alpha team, going to Gamma, and then one from the Medic teams.” said Commander Jaimon as he handed out datapads with the 501 combat report preloaded on them. After filling out his form Thrak sat next to the Medic team leader.“How is Juat looking?” Thrak asked leaning back in his chair.“Not to good I am afraid I don't know if there is anything we can do for him. Given enough time the Bacta tank he is in will heal him but that takes time, if he has a lot of will power and luck he could make it.”“Thanks I'm going down to see him I'll catch you later.”Thrak walked out of the room and down the hall to the nearest turbolift. He got into the turbolift and punched in the floor that the medbay was on.Thrak walked out of the turbolift and into the medbay. He past eight wounded soldiers on his way to Juat's Bacta tank and thought Why do we fight? Why did we join? There is no draft, all of us joined of our free will, was it for the honor? Or was it for something else? Like a need to protect the galaxy. As I see more and more combat and as I mature, I am less and less sure of why I fight. I trust less and less the motives and methods of the Empire.“Hey Juat!” how's it going?“How do you think it is going?”“Like crap.” replied Thrak with no humor in his voice.“Right on the head. Anyway did we complete the mission?”“Yeah, I have a question for you.”“Shoot, or rather don't,” Juat said smiling.“Why did you join?”“My old man made me.”“When do you get out?” Thrak asked sitting down on a chair a Med droid brought him.“Next year, if all goes well. How about you?”“Well I was planning on careering it but lately I just don't know. It seems the Empire gets shadier and shadier as time wears on, maybe they were always like this, maybe it has started just recently. Take the Wookies for instance....” There Juat cut him off saying“They are just animals, Look at them I mean....” here Thrak cut Juat off saying.“Have you ever seen Kasyykk? Have you ever seen a Wookie family? Have you ever seen where they live? They build houses they make weapons, real energy based weapons, whole towns build in the trees. No you haven't,” Thrak said with a icy edge.“Point taken on the Wookies but saying things like that is going to get you in trouble. I like you I hope you like me I have turned a blind eye to the Empires tactics and methods. No I don't agree with some of what they are doing, all I have seen of Wookies is what the Empire has put in my head,and what I have seen in bar fights.”“Just forget it look I need to go. Get better and don't die or I'll have you demoted,” said Thrak getting up.“Yes sir,” replied Juat with a smile.______________________________________________________
