Star Wars: Legacy: Indomitable

Plot summary[]

Part One[]

On board thePellaeon-class Star DestroyerRelentless of theOuter Rim Third Fleet,Darth Azard is informingAdmiralSha Dun thatDarth Krayt is not pleased with his lack of progress to destroyGar Stazi and theGalactic Alliance Remnant. Sha Dun says that they have captured or destroyed several of Stazi's ships, but Azard usesForce Grip on him and uses his lightsaber to execute him for his failure. Azard then places AdmiralDru Valan in charge of the fleet. Valan says he will not allow Stazi to escape him like he did at theBattle of Caamas. As Azard leaves, Valan tellsCaptainHoge to replace all 'alien' personnel in his fleet replaced with human personnel, saying he wants a 'superior' crew to deal with Stazi. He then informs Hoge of his intentions to trap Stazi with bait that he can't afford to pass up.

Meanwhile, at the planetDac, anAdvanced Star Destroyer called theImperious has nearly been completed. Former Triumvirate memberGial Gahan and his nieceMonia Gahan are gathering intelligence about the new Star Destroyer. Monia, who serves under Admiral Stazi as a member ofRogue Squadron, mentions that theMon Calamari have secretly supported Stazi for the last seven years by supplying him with supplies and recruits. But Gial says they can't help Stazi steal the new Star Destroyer because the Sith will seek retribution. But Gial has all the codes needed to help Stazi, therefore the retribution for the theft will fall on him. After this, they return to one of the shipyards hangars and Monia has her fellow Rogue pilotAnj Dahl take her back to the Alliance Remnant fleet. Once there, they report their findings to Admiral Stazi and his second in command, CaptainJaius Yorub.

Once they are alone, Stazi and Yorub say this situation sounds exactly like the trap atCaamas. They remember thatRear AdmiralPiers Petan had gathered evidence saying thatEmperorRoan Fel would be at Caamas under light escort, and recommended sending all available Alliance ships to Caamas to capture or kill him. Stazi,Kol Skywalker and Gial Gahan disagreed with the plan because they (correctly) suspected theEmpire had fed them the information. But Petan argued that decisive action was necessary to winthe war, persuadingNu Toreena andBail Antilles to approve of the plan.

Back in the present, Stazi and Yorub conclude that theImperious is the bait for a trap set by Dru Valan. Yorub suggests ignoring the Star Destroyer, but Stazi says they can't pass the opportunity to steal theImperious up, on the grounds that they need to make military strikes. Stazi also comments that if they know its a trap, then they might be able to make it work in their favor.

Two days later, Gial Gahan disables the Shipyard's automated guns from the command center on the planet's surface while Alliance troops take over theImperious. The Alliance task force, under Stazi's command, then enters the system. But on the planet's surface, Gial is captured and the automated guns are turned back on line whilestormtroopers retake theImperious. At that moment, Admiral Valan's fleet enters the system. Valan sends a message telling Stazi that he is trapped and that there are only two choices for him to make: surrender or die. Stazi's reply is simply "Caamas."

Part Two[]

Gar Stazi remembers what happened at Caamas: during the battle, Jaius Yorub informed him that the Jedi couldn't come to their aid because of aSith feint onCoruscant. At that moment, Piers Petan told all Alliance personnel at Caamas that he had agreed to AdmiralMorlish Veed's terms of surrender. Stazi refuses, and orders all Alliance personnel willing to continue to fight to follow him. Stazi, along with a handful of Alliance ships, escape using a spacer hyperspace route that the Empire had failed to mine.

Back in the present, Admiral Dru Valan asks Stazi if he intends to surrender or die. Stazi says he will fight. He orders his fleet to fire on the Outer Rim Third Fleet. The Imperials are taken by surprise by this sudden barrage, and Valan orders a return fire as well as fire from the Mon Calamari Shipyards. But the shipyards fire on the Imperial fleet instead of Stazi's, having been hacked by Monia Gahan.

Meanwhile, on board theImperious, the stormtroopers that re-seized the ship are revealed to be Galactic Alliance troops under the command ofHondo Karr. They successfully steal the ship and get it out of the system. When Captain Hoge tells Valan this, he orders his fleet to ignore everything else and destroy Stazi at all costs.

Stazi's fleet falls back behind the shipyards while Rogue Squadron provides cover from Imperial fighters. Stazi orders the rest of his fleet to evacuate the system. As the rest of the fleet escapes, a shot from the Imperial fleet does terrible damage to theIndomitable. Valan once again asks Stazi to surrender, but Stazi says he is going to pilot his ship into the shipyards to destroy them. But as he orders the evacuation of his ship,Rogue LeaderJhoram Bey arrives on the bridge to take the admiral to safety. Stazi refuses, saying he is just one of many who serve. But Captain Yorub says that Stazi is a symbol of the Alliance. Stazi still refuses to leave, so Yorub tells Jhoram Bey to "do his duty." Bey knocks Stazi out and takes him from the ship.

Once Stazi is safe, Yorub opens a channel for all to hear, saying that the Alliance still lives and that one day, they will triumph over the Sith. He pilots theIndomitable into the shipyards, destroying a third of them. On board his ship, a shocked Admiral Valan tells Captain Hoge to report whatever he wishes toDarth Azard. He retires to his quarters with a laser pistol, and we are left to believe he is considering suicide.

Meanwhile, at the Alliance fleet, attempts to bring the weapons systems on board theImperious online have begun. Stazi promotes Jhoram Bey to his second in command to "punish" him for knocking him out, and tells him to ready the fleet for further action. He knows the theft of theImperious will bring about a Sith reprisal, and they need to find out where that will be.
