A/N hi this is my first story an I hope it will be a good one below is a general description of the main character

captain Kyle Johnson was an opposing young man at only 21 he stood at around 6'5 and was very muscled. His accent was the clipped and precise tones of a coursant native. He had short black hair with

blue eyes that had a charming depth that expressed emotions easily but he can easily take away that openness and replace it with eyes as cold as hoth. With his friends the stern captain has been known

to let his guard slip and become a very outgoing person sadly this side is very rarely evident. The captain also has a rare charisma that can make men fight for a cause that they had only heard about

minutes ago.

Star wars

DUTY

It is one years before the battle at yavin four the rebel alliance is growing as news of imperial atrocities flood across the galactic empire. The mon calamari union is growing restless in

there servitude to the empire if the rebellion can secure the mon calamari's large fleet including the powerful mon calamari cruisers they will have the ability to take on the massive

imperial star destroyer and advance from a nuisance to a real threat. They planning to launch a major offensive to help the mon calamari in their uprising the pivot point to this is the

backwards planet of drakan four it would be an excellent base from witch to supply there massive offensive in there way stands a young disgraced imperial captain

THE BATTLE OF DRAKAN 4

captain Kyle Johnson in fact he was rather young to be a captain and the only reason he had been promoted was that he was just good enough for his uncle a rear admiral in the fleet to justify a

promotion. It was not as if he was a bad captain to the contrary he was excellent but the empire had never been ready for young captains. In fact he would probably still be a minor officer if he had no

contacts but those contacts with his uncle was no more his uncle's flagship had been destroyed by pirates. Pirates and rebels he thought that was all this region of the rim was good at making and he

wasn't far off the only reason for a major fleet presence in this area was rebel activity though as a young captain still believing imperial propaganda he had not been deemed clearance for this information

no like most people in the empire he thought that the empire's presence in the region was to protect the citizens from the villainous rebels and the pirate scoundrels.

But the balance of power in the region was not why he was depressed it was the fact that his beloved uncle's successor for regional command hated him. And had made this clear by making him the

commander of the defense of drakon 4 this meant he commanded 100 storm troopers a factory new tartan patrol vessel and a type one space station. Now you might be wondering what's wrong with that

know you might not know what a tartan is its a small patrol vessel that was made to attack fighters if he ran up against a rebel corvette he should probably pray to the powers that the rebels would take

prisoners. The type one space station was put up around all imperial controlled planets it had a fighter garrison of 5 tie fighters and 5 tie bombers and would have been devastated by two cornelian

corvettes that the rebels were so fond of. and the storm troopers were either so old that they barley remembered there own name or were idiots that pointed there blasters the wrong way. There were also

two old orbital defense turrets that had been set up by the old republic during the clone wars. And as for dranken 4 itself it wasn't a bad planet there were some mining operations on the planet that made

marginal profits but not enough to make any power recognize them as a possible conquest .In fact the planet was so unremarkable that in one of the most dangerous regions in the empire it had not been

attacked in 85 years this was an amazing record considering that most planets were raided at least every five years. All in all draken four was the worst assignment in the galaxy for a ambitious and smart

captain like Johnson.

These thoughts were passing through a very bored captain Johnson's mind as he looked back at the short year when he had been a rising star in the imperial navy where the galaxy seemed to be ready to

admire him as the next great hero but that was all a long time ago he told himself. Just as this depressing thought crossed his mind the alarm klaxons started their wale a wale that could mean only one

thing death. At almost the same instant a young trooper ran in and said "sir the rebels are attacking" Kyle jumps up and "says what are their numbers" "2 corvettes 125 z95 head hunters 10 x-wings 10 y-

wings" the trooper said Johnson stopped mid run at the sheer amount of forces that would be attacking. his first thought was to surrender then quickly a plan began to form has the ISS engagement left

yet he said to the trooper no sir the worried soldier responded what are the militia numbers around 20 z95,s sir captain Johnson nodded and ran to his ship.

stepping on board the tartan's bridge captain Johnson began giving orders signal the tie fighters and the militia z 95 to fire on enemy fighters but do not repeat do not engage in dog fights but take pot

shots and retreat behind the kill zone of the laser turrets once the enemy retreat keep this up. Then signal the tie bombers to follow us. Quickly the engagement and the bombers snuck into the nebula that

was near the base in there the enemy sensors wouldn't see them he then moved his small force towards the rear of the enemy formation knowing the corvettes would hang back until the fighters took out

the major imperial defenses. once he was behind the rebel corvettes he signaled his fighters and laser turrets to starts throwing potshots back to the corvettes the enemy commander played right into his

hands by putting all power to the front shields he then ordered the turrets an fighters back to the rebel fighters the corvettes kept their shields forward grinning like the cat that finally got that dam bird

Johnson ordered the bombers and the engagement to fire on the engine blocks of the enemy corvettes the engines quickly suffer heavy damage. the engines on a corvette not only help with movements

they also power all main systems but life support so when the engines were lost the corvettes lose all communications but also lose all weapons grinning once again Johnson ordered his bombers and the

tartan forward the fighter now trapped between two forces must charge one side if they charge Johnson and the bombers then that small force will be overwhelmed and be destroyer but whoever was in

command of the fighter must have thought that the base was the weaker and charged.

The battle from there on turned into a slaughter the ties rushed through the enemy formations destroying blindly. the ISS engagement fired it's laser cannons into the tightly packed fighters destroying

them the turrets did much the same and the bombers launched their proton torpedoes into the fighters where they exploded taking multiple fighters with them. Through all this Johnson kept complete

control over all his features but in the back of his mind he knew he was back on top.

A/N

Okay some of you will be wondering about the tartan I got it from empire at war game. Some of you might also be wondering about the z95 fighters being the main fighter of the allaince instead of the x

wing I figure that the x wing was recent devolpment also I doubt that the small force Johnson had could have stood up to the torpedos the x wing carry. Also duty is a working title from the first draft of this story witch might know longer be accurate let me know if you have any ideas. R&R
