Project Boussh: Enter The Empire
by Policrat'

The storm of hyperspace spun away, the starlines shrank suddenly into points
of light in the darkness, and the Imperial Star Destroyer _Admonitor_
returned to realspace.

On the bridge, Captain Dagon Niriz looked out at the unfamiliar stars, and
at the mottled planet which loomed ahead of them.

"Calculate a course to enter geostationary orbit," he ordered. "And engage
the cloak." There should be no sensor arrays in this system capable of
picking up a starship, not even one as big and energy-noisy as an ISD -
still less any ships that could threaten one - but it wasn't worth taking
any chances.

Only when the _Admonitor_ had safely cloaked and swung into orbit did Niriz
relax and open the comm chanel to the secondary command room.

"Admiral," he said slowly. "We have arrived. No problems yet."

"Thank you, Captain," came back the smooth reply. "Tell General Fel to make
ready to launch. It's time to teach these Americans what politics is all
about."
