[POV-Change Aria]
I clenched my fists as we flew into the asteroid belt.
Hoping to hold out long enough, with the asteroids as shields until our garrison arrives.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
But alias fate didn´t wanted to see us struggling for our lives instead hoping that all could end sooner.
"Your Highness, the Republicans fleet is in pursuit and is heavily bombarding us. We won´t hold out long" said Ludwig through the screen on my left.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"Your Highness both of our cruisers suffered heavy damage!" shouted a crew member below me in a panic voice.
I began to feel frustration and angry, even though we flew into the asteroid belt. Under the heavy bombardment, the cruisers are suffering damage beyond my expectations.
It has not even been more than fifteen minutes since we have been ambushed!!
And our entire fleet is already sinking!
"Emily what should we do?" I looked to my right with panic clearly written in my eyes and whispered in a low voice.
"Aria, we should evacuate with the transport ships, with them we could hide better and deeper in the android belt giving us time" answered Emily to me.
"Although the transport ships are faster than the cruisers and heavy cruisers, they have no amor what so ever and only smaller turrets mounted on top for defence. Meaning we would be sitting ducks to be shot down if we don´t evade their firing, but we could also hide deeper in the asteroid belt than the big cruisers who could only hide in the outer layer of asteroids and maybe even land on the planet giving us much needed time." I thought while pondering the pros and cons of using them.
I gritted my teeth and ordered "All Imperial members we will evacuate the cruisers and land on the planet with the transport ships giving us time."
"Yes, Your Highness" all shouted in unison.
I sat up from my chair and together with Emily we made our way to the hangars were the transport ships were located.

[POV-Change Asher]
I sat on my chair and together with my Generals and watched the battle projected through the droid starfighter as we drew closer to the battlefield, we were now at the back of the planet and were about to flew around it. Making a stunning appearance from the west.
[Minerva: Master, smaller spacecraft have been detected flying out from the two cruisers]
"Good send out the droid starfighters and Minerva send out a transmission to both sides" I ordered
[Minerva: Master what transmission should I sent out]
"Hear speaks the Order of moonlight Emerald, seize all hostilities in this system immediately or we are forced to act!" I spoke in a threatening tone
[Minerva: Understood]
"And activate our shields and accelerate the resurgent to make a stunning appearance" I said to Minerva
[Minerva: Yes Master]
I couldn´t help but chuckle a bit at my evil plan, since we threatened them to stop all actions immediately, they would definitely shoot at us. Because who in their right mind would end a battle after a little threat. Giving us the freedom to say later that we acted in self-defence should we ever encounter such forces later in our journey.

[POV-Change Aria]
Soon I and Emily watched through a window at the bridge of the transport ship as we flew out of the hanger of the cruiser.
Together with the other heavy damaged cruisers transport ships we reached a total number of 20 small spacecraft.
"Your Highness the Republican fleet is pursuing us" said a lieutenant before me who is operating the ship.
Hopefully we get past this dangerous stage, I thought while wating through the window the departing appearance of the cruiser.
Since we just flew out of the hangars, we were still in the outer layer of the asteroid belt making us vulnerable targets to be shoot down, because in the outer layer are only a few large asteroid´s and is not densly packed with them which in terms couldn´t provide sufficent protection.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
I watched in horror as five ships were blown up right in front of my eyes.
"Your Highness, we are detecting over a hundred, fast moving spacecraft of unknown origin from the west, coming into our direction!" shouted the lieutenant before me.
I was shocked who else could be in this deserted star system. Mercenaries but not so many?!
"Your Highness we received a transmission of unknown origin I will put it through on the speaker," said the lieutenant.
[Hear speaks the Order of moonlight Emerald, seize all hostilities in this system immediately or we are forced to act!] said a monotone and robotic voice.
"Who could this be, is it friend or foe?!" I thought while pondering over what that robotic voice just said.
But my questions were soon answered.
On the Western Horizon of the planet, I could see a triangled shaped like spacecraft.
I was taken aback at the appearance of such a beast and unique spacecraft, ---it is massive.
"It is at least twice as huge as our cruisers!" I thought in shock.
I soon came back to my senses and asked Emily, "Emily have you ever seen such a beast?!"
"No, Aria in all the records I read I have never seen such a distinct spacecraft" said Emily in a shocked tone of voice.
It could probably put up an entire dock alone in a colony, I thought at its size and hight.
(Author's Note: Dock is like hangars of Spacecraft just on a stationary, base station in the orbit of a planet)
I was ripped out of my thoughts as the lieutenant informed me, "Your Highness the over a hundred spacecraft are approaching us at fast speeds your orders."
"All Transport ships should fly deeper into the asteroid belt and don´t shoot! They are the perfect distraction that we needed" I said in a cheerful tone.
"Those republicans will surly shoot at that new ship, focusing both sides on one another and I think those over 100 spacecraft belong to them, so they should ignore us" I thought while thinking back on the send transmission.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"Your Highness, the republicans have opened fire on the new ship and over eighty of the fast spacecrafts have changed flight direction----," said the lieutenant.
"As expected," I whispered under my breath without hearing the lieutenant's words out.
"---however, twenty or so are still approaching us."
"Huh?!," I blurted out
"Do they want to escort us or what?!" I asked in a worried tone.
"Maybe Aria" said Emily who was standing beside me this entire time.
"..."
