Chapter 45

Space of Yavin 4, the battle of Death Star...

The ginormous space station quickly approached the Rebel Alliance base on Yavin 4. The show of power on the planet of Alderaan was enough to send the whole Rebel Alliance on a turmoil as they started and prepared to attack the Death Star, hoping to bring it down by any means necessary.

The rebel strike group will follow the plan of General Dodonna even if it's outrageous and audacious enough that people from the Rebel Alliance pilots had an angry reaction regarding the plan.

Different squadrons with colors as its codenames was briefed of the plan. They'll use small one man starfighters such as X Wings and Y Wings starfighters to traverse a narrow trench course on the Death Star's surface and fire proton torpedoes on the exhaust port which is directly connected to main reactor. This way, the explosion will cause a chain reaction which will destroy the Death Star in the process.

As they're being briefed a pilot raised his hand to tell how illogical and unscientific the plan of firing a proton torpedo on the literal exhaust port.

"With all due respect general, this is the thermal exhaust port, doesn't those ports release the heat from the main energy source, meaning, it has a strong upward force enough to deter the proton torpedoes. Your plan is a little bit illogical." this opinion made the ither pilots nod in agreement as they waited for the general to asnwer and clesr this possible misunderstanding.

"You're totally wrong and doesn't know about science and physics. Just shut up, you don't know anything. Anyway, that's the plan, I wish you all the best of luck."

The words of the general gave them uncertainty as they don't know what they're going to do. From one perspective the words of their fellow pilot really makes sense but on the other it doesn't, they don't know what to believe as they started to climb up the cockpits of their starfighters.

...

Battleships numbering in the hundreds of Imperium origin was chilling on the string dimension as they carefully observed the Yavin 4 star system.

Their battle plan is the simplest, send in the Imperial Knights with Space Marine as support then take control of the Death Star all the while activating the sleeper agents on the command room.

A random female aristocrat was seen sitting on the cockpit of her Imperial Knight. She's part of one of the nobles and aristocratic families on the Imperium.

Since the return of the Emperor to the Imperium, the number of Imperial Knights increased in number per noboe house. Also those knights that the ways they're created was lost in time has resurfaced and rediscovered as the mass production has started.

The technologies such as weapons and things like that on the Imperial Knights are greatly improved. Years of technological accumulation brought them great benefits.

Overall, the number of the Imperial Knights has more than doubled amd the number of the Imperial Knights will always be numerous no matter how big the needed number are.

Suddenly a sound signifying a transmission request was heard on her cockpit. She accepted it as she tied her hair on a bun.

"Good evening Mr. Lover Boy, what do you want?" asked the female noble with a smirk as she looked at her boyfriend who's also a knight pilot on the holographic screen.

"This will be your very first major operation right my dear? Just stick to me, I'll protect you." said the man on the other line as he smiled sweetly. He has this extroverted aura with him. Something about him makes him such a friend and chick magnet.

"You're trying to flirt with me while on a mission it seems. Isn't that against the rules?" the female noble laughed based on the aristocratic way of laughing as she hid her mouth behind her palm.

"Really?" joked the man as he winked at the woman, making her blush like a tomato.

The two love birds then laughed as they talked a little bit more about different things. Just then, a radio transmission sounded on their cockpits as the squadron captain gave his last briefing before the mission time.

"I'll repeat the mission plan, we'll be dropped directly at the surface of the Death Star after a landing site was secured by the space marines. From there, we'll infiltrate and secure the whole place as the guardsmen landed." briefed the squadron captain as his voice was heard on their comms.

"Any questions?"

"No!"

"Very well, let's set out! Glory to the Emperor!"

...

The Death Star seemed slowly moving but in fact it's moving in thousands of kilometers per second on space as Imperial TIE fighters exited its hangars to meet the enemy starfighter squadron.

A group of starfighters, a mix of Y and X wing starfughters soared through the space as they dived down to the deep trench on the surface of the Death Star.

Imperial TIE fighters followed at their tail as a deadly and chaotic dogfight happened. The Y and X wings had the natural advantage of field of view. Making it a far better choice for chaotic space dogfights like this as some of the TIE fighters crashed on each other during maneuvers due to the limited field of view.

But the Rebel Alliance starfighter squadrons wasn't but unscathed on the conflict as most of the starfighters was shot down due to the innumerable TIE fighters at their tail. Luke Skywalker only managed to survive due to the Force.

Darth Vader was the leader of the squadron who engaged the Rebel Alliance on a dogfight as they gave chase to the now battered starfighter of Luke Skywalker as it dived down on the trenches, approaching the exhaust port.

"You're mine!" said Darth Vader with anger as he opened fire at Luke Skywalker. But as he opened fire Han Solo together with the Millennium Falcon suddenly appeared as it fired its own weapons against Darth Vader.

Darth Vader tried to evade the incoming barrage of laser fireds by pulling up but one of its wings got grazed and destroyed half of the left wing, making the starfighter of Darth Vader soar back to the Death Star with a flaming wing.

"I'm here kiddo, do you think I'll let you die? Think again." the voice of Han Solo was heard on the communication equipment aboard Luke's starfighter as he already saw the exhaust port of the Death Star.

"Do it now, Luke!" the voice of Obi-Wan was heard by Luke as he opened the protection on the red button under the label of "Proton Torpedoes"

Just as he was about to press the button, a shine on the darkness of space was seen as countless meteor like objects hit the Death Star on all directions with speed impossible to be seen without the help of technology.
