[POV Asher]
Meanwhile on a enjoyable cruise to the other planet.
[Minerva: Master we picked up a distress signal which comes from opposite the gas giant]
"Huh!? I thought we would at least have a few more days or some months until we encounter someone and not one the first day" I blurted out after Minerva informed me.
"Hey Minerva then why did you not tell me that there were others here" I said to that seemingly sly AI
[Minerva: Master that is because my sensors can´t reach that far I could only identify another planet and star in our proximity]
"Whatever, ---- Generals let´s go into the planning room" I said while looking at the five generals who were operating on some screens before me.
"They were probably checking all the other droids or observing the reconnaissance we send out" I thought to myself.
"Yes Captain" they all said in unison.
On the main bridge there was the huge space where I could see the front of my flagship and my command chair was here and the planning room also known as war room and several other facilities.
I and my Generals walked into the war room. And soon on the big metallic table a holographic map of the star destroyer with the route to the gas planet and a red spot from where the signal came from was shown.
"So is one of our reconnaissance near the spot" I said while looking into my Generals red eyes.
"Yes I will show you the footage" said Bill while bringing up a screen.
Because the droids could connect to the ship, we were able to see what that droid starfighter saw.
After the droid connected we saw that it stealthy manoeuvred through the asteroids to the opposite position of the planet.
Five minutes later it landed on an asteroid with a clear view to what seems the location of the distress signal.
Soon we saw eleven spacecraft fighting each other. It seems to be a five versus six.
We noticed that on both sides on each ship were illustrated symbols.
On the left side where the six spacecraft were, there was a round shaped circle, in the circle were seven stars and what seems to be a illustration of a modern tall building.
On the right side where the five ships were there was a shield like shaped circle with a illustrated castle, two battleship turrets on both sides and underneath the turrets where three stars.
"Hmm probably an armed conflict between two states, if I have to guess" I thought while admiring myself for my adaptability and quick-wittedness to situations.
"Since I can´t believe that another person in my shoes would adapt so fast and accept it all." I thought clearly praising myself.
"Ahem any suggestions" I said to my Generals
"It seems to be an armed conflict between two powerful parties otherwise under my understanding someone would not display their emblems or coats of arms" said Bill.
"From my analysing they seem to be inferior to our flagship since they are still using turrets and not blasters also from both factions' engines they seem as they have just recently reached the level of hyperdrive" said Vincent while pointing out on the holographic replica on the table of the two sides spacecrafts.
"The six spacecraft are dealing the first casualties to the other side. Those six have more amor then the five, but for the Resurgent-class those six can still be easily blown into smithereens with a few turbolasers" said Victor
"Hmm first of all Minerva accelerate our speed and bring us behind that planet as fast as possible" I said while thinking that time is of the essence.
[Minerva: Understood]
"Okay what do you think is appropriate to do in this situation" I said
"It seems that the remaining three of the five are losing. They were also the ones who send the distress signal. I suggest helping them," said Leon
"Correct I would also suggest it, from further analysis I can tell that they have smaller emergency spacecraft in their ships, which makes it easier to capture them whit a tractor beam. And afterwards extracting information out of them" suggests Vincent
"Yes since their ships are too big to fit into the hangar let´s wait for them to lose and using those smaller spacecraft to capture them" said Bill
"Okay seems like my Generals are hella bend to capture the losing side, not that I care much about it since we will probably make a lot of enemies. And on how fast the losing side is losing ships we will make it just in time" I thought inwardly while being amazed at what my Generals can think of.
"…"
"It seems they are heading toward the asteroid belt with their remaining ships," said Konstantin
"Ahem so we all are in favour of waiting this battle out, until the losing side uses small enough spacecraft which our tractor beams can bring them in" I said while looking at my Generals
"Affirmative" they all responded to my statement.
"Good then we have work to be done, prepare the commandos and droikas to welcome our captives. Also prepare the rest of the droid starfighters to be send out at any given time for additional support. Because on how fast they are losing ships we probably don´t need to wait" I said
"Minerva bring the flagship in high alert and make all 1500 turbolasers ready to plast our enemies to smithereens" I ordered while a big grin could be seen on my face.
[Minerva: Understood Master]
