you! There is a massive, and I mean massive, alien fleet on the other side of the planet. We have to get back to our Galaxy now!”

“You are under attack? Dock your ship and come to the command bridge immediately. We have to go help.”

“I hate to say this Captain but, there is no saving the fleet. It's doomed.”

“All right. We will leave the instant you dock.”

Jenna had never docked a ship so fast in her life. Nor had she ran so fast. She, Balto, Boris, Muk, and Luk, had gotten from the docking bay to the command tower in 5 minutes.

They had a quick meeting with Captain Insk about what they should do.

“You two are the only ones who have the slightest idea as to the military capacity of these ships. As such, I am making you both, effective immediately, Majors in the Imperial Navy. You will be given command of a group of soldiers that you will train to fight these things.”

“Um, is that a good idea? We only saw what the things look like and how they moved. We haven't even seen what the people who run the things look like.”

“You do know how their defense system works. A little knowledge is better than none at all. Dismissed.”

As they walked to the quarters assigned to them Balto said “Interesting day huh? First we're made Lieutenants, then we get attacked by an alien fleet, then we're promoted to Majors in the Imperial Navy and assigned to teach a group of soldiers how to fight an enemy we know nothing about. All in one day! And you thought this trip would be boring.”

“If I knew you talked this much, I probably would not have married you.”

“Oh sure you would have. By the way...”

Jenna put her head in her hands. 'I give up' she thought to herself.

The voyage home was uneventful. When they arrived in their own galaxy though that was not the case. As the Imperial fleet arrived in the galaxy, they picked up the Holonet news. And as always, there was no good news.

“Oh hey Balto. Captain Insk wants to talk to us. Says it's important.”

They quickly made their way to the command bridge where Insk was waiting for them. “Follow me” he said.

They walked into his private room on the bridge.

“What is it Captain?”

“It appears that the alien fleet we ran into in the Sorsus Galaxy was a reserve force. Those alien scum, have beaten us here. Endor, Ithor, Kasyyyk, and dozens of other planets are now under the control of an alien species who call themselves the 'Yuuzhan Vong'. And they don't only control Ithor, they destroyed it.”

Balto could not believe what he was hearing. “And you said that fleet we ran into, was a reserve force? That fleet alone looked big enough to take on the original Imperial Navy.”

Insk looked at them gloomily. “That, my friends, is why we are losing.”

“Okay Balto, what are we going to do now? Most of our command is gone, and we are running low on fuel and ammunition.”

Balto sat down and thought for a minute. He sighed.

“I don't know Jenna. The Yuuzahn Vong have won almost every battle so far. I don't know if we CAN stop them.”

“The one time we really need Jedi and they aren't here. At least in large numbers. If Luke Skywalker and his Academy hadn't been here...” It was Jenna's turn to sigh.

An idea suddenly popped in Balto's head. “Yeah. A Jedi.”

He stood up quickly and said “Come on Jenna! I have an idea!”

“What now?”

“I think it's time to go see an old friend.”
