Chapter Text
A single Imperial shuttle completed its journey through hyperspace and reentered real space. The shuttle picked up speed and was quickly heading for a nearby planet. The shuttle entered the planet's atmosphere and the ship traveled through the clouds. The surface of the planet came into view, most of the planet was covered with dense forests and various wildlife living within these forests. The shuttle was heading for a large bunker with AT-ATs, AT-STs, and many stormtroopers guarding the perimeter of the Imperial installation. A squadron of stormtroopers were standing at attention as the shuttle made its landing. The ramp of the shuttle opened and an Imperial officer was the first to exit the ship, next one off was an Imperial pilot wearing all black uniform and helmet that concealed the face of the individual.
Unbeknownst to the Imperials, the pilot was actually a member of the Rebel Alliance. The rebel was a woman and her name was Jyn Erso. Jyn was on a special mission of great importance to the rebels and she needed a disguise in order to infiltrate this heavily guarded Imperial installation.
She plays the role of Imperial pilot and follows the officer as he walks towards the entrance to the bunker. They enter the bunker but there seems to nothing here. The floor slowly starts to descent and the realization dawns on her, the bunker was the entrance to a secret underground Imperial base. The rumors were accurate, the Imperials wanted to keep this base a secret so they built it underground. They exit the elevator and there is another squadron of stormtroopers waiting for them.
The officer turns to her, "I have a meeting with the commander in a few minutes so you are free for now but report to me after the meeting has concluded." The officer then turned around and walked the other way with the stormtroopers following him down the corridor.
She was alone now, *It is time to get to work* Jyn needed to move fast and get what she came here for. Her disguise was working for now but the safety of her blaster was off if the situation required her to use it.
She walked down the corridor and saw a few stormtroopers guarding a door, she maintained a steady pace as she walked past them. *Just act like a good Imperial and not draw attention to yourself* she hated wearing this disguise but she would just have to bear it until the mission was complete. She was about to enter a new room but started hearing loud noises, she turned and looked through a transparisteel window.
This place was more than just a secret base, this base also contained an underground factory. There were AT-STs, AT-ATs, and other ground vehicles being produced on the many assembly lines. *Damn... destroying this factory would be a significant blow to the Empire but it is too risky* She hated the idea of leaving this factory intact but the factory was not a part of her mission and it would be a suicide mission without a strike team to provide fire support or a distraction.
She moved on and entered the room, it looked like a control room. There was a single Imperial officer in the room and he was busy looking at a monitor, not even noticing that she had entered the room. *Good... lets do this quietly* she pulled out her blaster and changed it to the stun setting, killing him would only cause noise and blow her cover.
The officer finally noticed that someone else was in the room and turned to her, "What are you doing here? This room is restricted and why do you have your..." before the officer could finish his sentence, Jyn pulls the trigger and the blast of energy hits the officer. He quickly hits the ground and unconscious, the effect only lasted several minutes so she needed to move the body out of sight and keep him quiet.
She surveyed the room but there was no place to hide his body. She opened the door on the other side of the room and checked for any stormtroopers, she was relieved that the coast was clear for now. She checked the next room and it seemed to be a storage room, *hopefully no one finds him until I am long gone* she goes back to the control room and starts dragging the still unconscious body to that storage room.
She finds some rope and ties his hands together, also pulls out a piece of cloth from her pocket and uses it to cover his mouth. She dumps his body into an empty storage container and leaves the storage room. She returns to the control room and goes to the monitors, she starts looking through the files. She eventually found a file that caught her attention and it was labeled "Classified," there was a room number and it was not far from the control room.
*The artifact I am looking for must be in that room* she concluded before leaving the control room and walking toward this secret room. She continued to act like a loyal Imperial pilot, walking past more stormtroopers on patrol and she hoped stormtroopers did not check the storage rooms. She eventually finds the room number listed in the classified file and opens the door, her eyes widen as she gets her first view of the room.
