Memoirs of the Skywalker
Part I- Rediscovery
The grand AS Palpatine, a magnificent Clone War relic sitting, and
decaying, on a sand dune in the Geonosian desert. Its proud history now
just a distant memory stored on a holocron within the sleeping giant.
Disabled and forgotten, the ship that had lasted through the ages, from the
end of the Old Republic to the founding of the New, seemed doomed never to
serve again. Until one fateful day…
A small shade rushed thru the heated sky of Geonosis. A small interceptor
class scout was on its standard patrol.
“Sir, did you see that?”
“See what Jenson?”
“That building, we just passed by, it was out in the distance.”
“No, I sure didn’t, if it is a building that would sure be odd, nothing but
wild animals live out in these parts of the desert. This scout patrol is
useless anyway, swing back and take a look.”
The small Interceptor class scout ship turned back in a wide arch and sped
towards destiny.
“Hmm… I don’t see anything Jens…”
“There it is! Right over the horizon! Can’t quite make it out, but it looks
like a sort of structure.”
“Slow down, if it is some intelligent civilization, they may be frightened
by our presence, funny this isn’t on any of the planetary maps! Just fly
casual… but don’t look like your flying casual…”
The small ship set down next to the mammoth Assault class, dwarfed by its
sheer mass.
Only a short while later, Republic Navy officials were all over the area in the
desolate desert. Historians immediately wanted it preserved and its memory
banks accessed, Scientists lobbied for gutting it and researching all the
archaic systems.
The Council, in the midst of a war with the European Empire, decided that,
if possible, the ship would be reactivated and put back into service, with
new equipment and after its holocron had been removed for study.
And so it was; the Palpatine was recommissioned under
the new, more appropriate insignia, the AS Skywalker.
Hope you enjoyed this short introduction...
More to come! The Skywalker's first missions in the fleet, and its history leading up to the assult on Wardell IV! Also, what can the Republic scientists learn from the ancient Jedi Holocron....
