Still a work in progress at the moment, any feedback, both positive and negative, is welcomed.

Blue swirling wisps of the hyper drive tunnel which enveloped  the body of the ship finally gave way to a myriad of of horizontal white lines, rapidly shortening to the white dots of the stars that formed them. A small brown speck now grew in the centre of the ships bridge window, growing in size until it completely filled the view from it. Blurred rich yellows and burnt golds gave way to to sharper outlines and geological features of the planet that now confronted the ship.

High above the desert planet the Imperial Star Destroyer "Allegiance" engages its ion engines and silently slips into stationary orbit. Tatooine now lays below, brightly lit and bleached by its twin suns, making the world a most inhospitable place to survive even for the most hardiest of creatures. Almost immediately, and with a sense of urgency, two craft emerge from the ships main hanger, a single Lambda shuttle slowly unfolds its main flight wings and proceeds to the planets surface closely followed by a modified cargo carrying Sentinel class lander. Both follow the same approach before the Sentinel peels away for a different destination on the surface below.

Athlon Antillies had arrived on Tatooine fourteen months earlier. Dispatched from the ISD "Devastator" as a member of the Imperial sand trooper unit "Desert Sands" Zeta Squadron. Its mission, under the leadership of Captain Mod Terrik, was to recover secret plans thought to have been jettisoned in an escape pod from a captured Rebel blockade runner. Following the search, and subsequent loss, of the two droids thought to be carrying the data, Desert Sands had remained on Tatooine. Its mission, given directly by Lord Vader himself, had been to begin the pacification campaign of Tatooine's citizens and the search, and extermination, of any Rebel cells along with anyone foolish enough to harbour them.

He now stood in the garrisons small briefing room at Mos Eisley as Lieutenant Zander rose from his desk.
"You've been assigned to Lieutenant Walker from the ISD Allegiance to help with a covert extraction mission over at Espa. They need someone who has a working knowledge of the area and can speak Huttese".
After fourteen months of leading various search and destroy missions at Mos Eisley and the surrounding settlements of Anchorhead and Bestine Athlon had become quite fluent in Huttese, the native language of many of Tatooine's inhabitants.
"Espa sir?" Athlon replied, he knew the small town well from previous missions "Its a pretty quiet settlement compared to many on Tatooine, what or who could possibly be of interest to high command there that would warrant the deployment of an ISD?" 
"That's really non of my, or your, concern trooper! Get yourself down to docking bay 25 ASAP, Lieutenant Walker will meet you their for a full briefing, Dismissed!"

"Something something something Dark Side.. Something something something Complete!"
