Assuming that is what happened.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  Besides, you should be very proud. Can you imagine what would have happened if they did detect Derek in the middle of that fight? These Death Stars are all protoype models. In the movies and book history, there are at least six in existence, if not more. The most well known are the two in the movies, obviously. Three if you count the one that the Seps were planning to build, but saying any more would give away the rest of the story that I intend to show through the game. Darksaber, from the book of the same name, was a model that was found and almost completed by a Hutt. You can only imagine what he planned to do with it. There will also be plans to create two around Coruscant as defense platforms, but since we probably won't be playing that far in the future, I can tell you about it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Even farther in the future, about 30 or so years from the current timeline, the Imperial Remnant gets a hold of the plans to build more of them, of course. The resurrected Emperor has better plans and cooler toys, so instead they use World Devastators, Galaxy Guns and Soveriegn class Star Destroyers, each with their own Superlaser. Oh and let's not forget the Sun Crusher. But anyway, that's probably more than you wanted to know at the moment...[/sblock]Derek floats away with the rest of the debris, like so much flotsam on a planet's ocean. The communications in the area is chaotic, unfocused and extremely difficult to filter. Most of it is taken up by security channels ordering teams and crews to different parts of the complex to perform sweeps and checks. Many of the work crews are being told to stop working until they are sure that whatever caused this mess has been taken care of. Derek knows that X will have a difficult time. ***The complex is immense. If the three partial spheres weren't big enough, this station, connected to all three constructs by various access tubes and impossibly large scaffolding, is immeasurably huge. If DRK-1X were to hazard an estimate, as droids do not guess, it would calculate the entire setup as being near 500km in diameter. Near the size of a moon or planetoid. At first, it appears only guarded by the sensor nets and their control ships, but as the freighter gets closer, X can see that, hidden in the scaffolding and support beams, are numerous larger ships, mostly Star Destroyers. A rough count gives X approximately fifty of these ships, altogether a mixture of Aggressor, Verdant and the new Victory classes. One in particular stands out to the small probot though. A Victory- class ship that has similar markings to one that it has seen footage of before. The initial scans of the docking bay where the freighter is ordered to port at show that it is an open space facility. There seem to be smaller tug-type ships ready to disengage the freighter's main cargo hold from the ship itself, once the sweep is complete. A transfer tube has already started extending from the complex. It leads into one of the various receiving bays that dot the facility. Deciding that the only way to get into that facility was the hard way, DRK-1X grabs a couple of extra pieces of equipment before finishing its task of removing all traces of its work on board. X notes that Four does not reply to its message. Two small magnetic clamps will allow the droid to traverse the hull of the ship and then the underside of the transfer tube. X's black stealth shell will make it easily missed against the blackness of space. Soon, the probot reaches the facility structure itself. Humans, and most other sentient aliens, require oxygen to breathe. On order to alleviate this problem in airless space, they have invented air recyclers to allow them to breathe in such a hostile environment. One side effect of this technology is that every so often, they have to vent poisonous fumes out into open space so that they do not get recycled into the facility's atmosphere. This process would require vents that lead to the outside of the enclosed complex. Anyone attempting to enter through them would die of poisoning. X has no such problems. While the droid has its own universal cutting tool installed, using it would definately draw attention that it does not want. Instead, X brought along something a lot less conspicuous, a hydrospanner. It does wonders for removing bolts holding down unwanted vent filters. With this in mind, X makes its way into the main facility. In time, the vent tubes lead the probot to the air scrubbers. X's small chassis is difficult to maneuver through all the machinery, but eventually, a few close calls later, X has managed to be inside the structure of the complex and is now in a huge room filled with giant machines that control the air recycling system of at least one large part of this facility. There are tiered walkways, at least five stories in both directions, with intervals every few meters. On these walkways are technicians and patrolling soldiers. The soldiers are wearing bone white clone armor. X is in the center of this place, hiding underneath a large extension of one of these machines. There is a walkway that allows it use its repulsor engines to move, but at the moment, it is occupied by four technicians, all huddled around a monitor of sorts. [sblock=OOC]I'm hoping I gave enough of a description to capture the enormity of the room that X is in. Think of the Ep. IV when ObiWan is taking the tractor beams offline in the Death Star. Something like that, but bigger. Much bigger. [/sblock]</blockquote>
