Prologue, Pt. 1

15 BBY: Theoretical Science and Technology Developement Center (TSTDC), Talus, Corellian System

"Do you ever wonder what's up there?"
"Up where?" Nancy questioned, leaning back in the grass and looking up at the sky.
"Outside the empire, I mean." Adam answered, looking at the planet Tralus, the sister planet of Talus, which they lived upon.
"I guess..." Nancy replied, wondering about this new prospect. Was the Empire alone in the universe? Is this the only universe there is?
"Whoever's up there, do you think we'll ever meet them?" Nancy asked, relaxed.
"I hope so." came the answer. Not from Adam, but from her father James. "Hunny, I'd like to show you something. Would you like to join us, Adam?"
"I'm sorry Dr. Li, My mother would have a fit if I were late for dinner. Maybe another time." Adam replied, getting up.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Nancy said to Adam with a half smile. Both eight-year-olds went their own ways.

"What does it do?" Nancy asked, staring at the contraption, spellbound.
"It compresses space time between two points. Basically, it shortens the distance between two points that an object has to travel." her father replied.
"How does it work?" Nancy inquired, still staring.
"Now, that would take far too long to explain!" James said with a chuckle. "I was hoping to show you what it does... that would take less time, eh?"
Nancy's eyes seemed to light up and, grinning ear to ear, she asked her father to show her. He led her over to a rather large thing that she realized was a gun. James handed her a set of noise-canceling earphones, and James began to explain.
"This is the newest weapon built by this institute, and uses the space-time compression technology I showed you over there... but enough of my dribble, let me show you what it does!" he said, aiming the weapon down the convenient firing range. "Could you turn on that holo-recorder?" he asked, and she complied. "Cover your ears!" he yelled, and she covered her ears with her headphones. James pulled the trigger and with a boom the target downrange suddenly had a large hole in it's middle. The target was automatically replaced with a new one.
"That was without the space-compression mechanism. Watch this!" he yelled, and pressed a button on the aiming display. A very loud whirring came from the weapon, and James pulled the trigger. This time, there was no boom, but there was also no target. Nancy was about to ask what happened, when James put the gun down, pulled off his headphones, and showed her the recording. In the first firing, it was a normal cannon. But in the second firing, the bullet seemed not to come from the barrel, but to start right in front of the target. In fact, the bullet went through a portal beginning within the barrel of the weapon, and ending in front of the target. James' communicator beeped, indicating a call.

"Dr. Li, here. Go ahead" the doctor said into the com, turning away from his daughter.
"Excuse me" the receptionist for the Center said in an airy voice "a transport landed, and there are 5 people here to talk to you. An imperial officer and 4 soldiers in white." she said, unconcerned. James' eyes widened: he knew why they were here, but he didn't know they'd come so soon. No, he must be wrong. They're here to collect the taxes for keeping this place in James' hands, like they always were. He relaxed a bit. "Come along, hunny. We're going to pay our dues."

"Good to see you again, Dr. Li." The officer in grey said in a coo'ing voice with an insincere smirk.
"Captain" the scientist said, acknowledging the enemy's presence. "You're here to collect the tax, correct?"
"Actually, we have other business to discuss." James' eyes widened slightly and his heart froze at the words. The imperial captain saw the body language, and his smirk grew. "Mind showing me to your lab?" Despite the friendly tone of his voice, this was not a question, and James knew it, taking a quick glance at the blaster pistol at the imperial's side. "Follow me."

"What's this?" the captain asked, nodding toward a pressurized, air-tight glass-walled room hexagonal room with a single computer, divided in half by another plate of glass.
"That's where we do experiments involving radiation." James replied, getting sick of answering that question. They'd toured the entire place, and this room was the furthest place into the ground that the facility reached. They stopped outside the room.
"Dr. Li, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to relinquish control of this facility to the Empire, including all materials related to your space-compression experiments.
"That's not possible." James began, Nancy listening intently. "This is a Private facility: The tax has been paid, I have all my licenses, and the Empire has no authority here." James' stated confidently.
"I knew you'd say that." The Captain said. "Am I to assume that this is your lovely daughter?" The imperial officer said and grabbed Nancy by the arm and pulled her toward him, simultaneously pulling his pistol out and pointed it toward her head. His 4 escorts pointe their rifles at the Scientist, who was about to kill the Officer with his bare hands, but stopped when he saw the other guns come up. "I invite you to change your mind, MISTER Li." The Captain growled, emphasizing James' new qualification.
"Fine, Captain. I'll give you access, just dont shoot. there's no call for violence." James said, half growling, half pleading. "Just give me a moment to revoke my access. If you'll come here, I'll register your fingerprint into the system.", James said with an idea in his head. The officer released the girl, and he, along with his escorts, went inside the Rad. room. The door closed, the room pressurized, and everyone in the glass room, James, the Captain, and the stormtroopers, died within 5 seconds. James had flooded the room with a massive amount of radiation, and Nancy was left with a grudge, no father, and she wondered if this was just a nightmare, or a cruel joke. She slowly came to realize that it wasn't, that she was now alone in the universe.

Prologue Part 2

5 BBY, present day: Victory-class Star Destroyer "Justice", Low Orbit, Corulag, Corulus System.

"Status Report!" The Imperial Captain yelled from his catwalk. One of the Tactical officers below him piped up.
"Target is dead ahead, 13 Kilometers distance and dropping." the Tactical officer yelled back.
"Keep on it! We'll bring this saboteur to justice!" He yelled, nearly peeing his pants in excitement. This was his first term as captain, and his first target was none other than Nancy "Eve" Li. He became the captain after his own captain was executed by Lord Vader himself! What a lucky death, to be ended by the bastion of justice himself!
"Sir," the Tactical Officer began yelling again, "The target ejected debris toward the planet. Life signs are still detected on the vessel."
"That's what smugglers do! They dump their cargo when they think they're going to be caught!" he yelled with glee. "Keep after it, and ready the tractor beam!" he commanded, and urged his ship onward.

Nancy was in her drop-pod, hurtling toward Corulag when her communicator went off. She sighed and spoke into it. "What is it, Corky?"
"Me-sa Still dont think this is a good idea!" the Gungan piloting the small freighter whined.
"Oh, quit your muling and send the schematics of that ship to my gun, would you?" she yelled, impatient with the amphibious coward.
"Ok, fine. Remember, the Victory-class star destroyer's power plant is located in the aft section. If you-sa bypass it's sheilds and hull with your XR-41, then it'll cut power to the entire shi-"
"I know what I'm doing, I came up with the plan!" Nancy said, "Just guide the behemoth into low orbit, and I'll take care of the rest. pick me up when we're done." Nancy cut communications, and the pod landed. She got out, pulled the XR-41 Space-Compression based Recoilless Rifle from the pod, extended its stabilizers, and aimed up. She looked up, and the Star Destroyer poked it's head through the clouds. Nancy aimed up, referenced the schematics of the ship, found the powerplant, aimed, activated the SC, and fired.

"ENGAGE TRACTOR BEAM!" The excited captain yelled
Everyone on the bridge was absolutely dumbstruck when the power flicked off. The entire ship went dead silent.
"ENGINEERING, STATUS REPORT!!!" The captain, utterly livid at the possibility of losing his prey and prospective promotion, screamed through his communicator. The entire ship shuddered as the engines stopped working and began to plummet to the ground. The captain pissed his pants as he screamed at engineering to "forget about the report, just fix it!". Half of the crew and complement of troops died upon impact with the ground, and the star destroyer was disabled, and lay helpless right next to a large settlement. The captain lived to tell the tale to his superior the next day, and was subsequently executed.

Nancy was absolutely giddy. It didn't matter that the XR-41 was crushed by a bit of ehrant debris: she had disabled the star destroyer and thoroughly humiliated the Empire in a single shot, and that was more than the Rebellion could have ever done. The Gungan picked her up, and they left the planet and the now defunct symbol of the Empire behind.
