Chapter 8 - D'QAR

Finalizer Bridge

It's been four weeks since rey escaped the finalizer and during that time the resistance attacked star killer base crippling the planet size weapon, causing large earthquakes and releasing a lot of geothermal energy in the atmosphere , first order scientist says the planet had a fifty fifty percent chance to blow up or it would take at least 20 years for it's surface to be habitable again. I had the fifth fleet of 20 resurgent class star destroyers and and 10 imperial (3) class destroyers around the weapon but that fool hux sent away the fleet saying that the fleet needed to secure the resistance sympathizer worlds when the weapon was to be fired on Dqar system. I wanted to kill the fool so did many of the high ranking officers , they saw hux as a squabbling fool who would take the credit of his subordinates when they did something commendable and was a stupid sycophant like his father wanting to destroy and rule the galaxy with treachery and fear but i knew that conquest is not all about conquering with war and fear if we continue like that people would swarm to the resistance and it would be like the empire all over again , continuing the war with the resistance for a longer period. But the high ranking officers saw merit within my plans and it was showing. Over the few months the first order has been helping planets in different systems, increasing it's man power, resources and wealth, people saw the first order in a different light.

They saw the first order as saviors and of course we were providing jobs when they were unemployed, providing protection from criminals and slavers, providing homes when they were homeless millions of people started to accept the first order more and more, some saw the republic and resistance as the villains and criminals for they have never done what the first order has done for them. I genuinely cared about people even though, snoke ordered the destruction of millions it had to be done hosnian prime were full of corrupted senators and the would do anything to protect their wealth and if we started to conquer the galaxy with them in it they would fund the resistance and arm their soldiers funding them with millions of credits to build ships and to get rid of us and a war with the republic would kill more people than what was killed in the Bosnian system.

But back to star killer base . Even though the weapon was useless now, thankfully i was there on the base two hours before it was crippled i ordered them to release all the quintessence stored in the oscillator it wouldn't even reach very far in space much less destroy a system so i wasn't worried . But it would prevent star killer base from blowing up when poe got inside the oscillator . I sent orders for all non essential personnel to leave the base and retreat back to the fleet, we were going to be defeated . But atleast i killed that fool han solo he may be my father physically and biologically but mentally he wasn't and i killed that man without any remorse but i needed to keep up the act and fool snoke so i acted as if i was torn apart emotionally after killing him ,thank you god for my powers .To tell you the truth han solo was a nuisance he was made of the thickest plot armor their, was the guy was so hard to kill, escaping darth vader and the empire numerous times and now the first order he killed alot of stormtroopers and imperials in his life and i didn't expect the him to die of old age he lived by the sword and so he dies by it. He could have lived a peaceful life when the war the empire was over but he wanted to go back to his smuggling ways and neglected me (ben solo) when i was younger, oh well the past is the past and he was dead and everything was going to plan rey escaped from star killer with finn and chewie and a few more weeks from now and i will be able to kill snoke .

I ordered the fifth fleet to retreat back to one of our outer rim bases to drop off the soldiers and first order personnel from star killer base. I received a message from the supremacy, the next day that supreme leader snoke has ordered me to meet with him and the other high ranking officers.

If you all dont know the supremacy, it is 13 km wide mega class star destroyer it had large repair and refueling bays for resurgent and imperial 3 class star destroyers it held a at least 2,000, 000 personnel no doubt , it had large holding bays for hundreds of tie fighters and first order AT-AT's and AT-M6 and other military equipment it has hundreds of ion cannon and thousands of large jugular laser and surface canons and could even track ships through hyper space this thing is a flying country and i'll be damned to let that purple haired suicidal bitch vice admiral holdo split it in two and killing thousands of people while doing so .

This ship would be mine when i killed snoke , so i wouldn't want it to be destroyed.

Flashback...

When i arrived in snoke's throne room i saw all high ranking officers standing in line facing snoke including hux who had a worried expression on his face. Snoke was a frail looking old man with a deformed face dressed in golden robes,that god i wont look like that when i use my powers. But even though he was weak and frail physically he was very strong in the dark side of the force. Snoke's 8 praetorian guards stood vigilantly behind his throne not even moving an inch. they were so cool i thought.

"My apprentice" said snoke in his deathly tone

"master" i replied

"I see you have failed me , i gave you full authority over my army and you still allowed a small squad of resistance fighters to attack and nearly destroy star killer base snoke said in his deathly tone

"my master i ordered the fifth fleet to stay around and protect the planet but general hux took it up on himself to defy my orders and move the fifth fleet elsewhere" i replied calmly the high ranking officers were staring daggers at hux, he even started to sweat bullets when snoke turned to look at him.

And I felt his fear rising

"General hux you dare defy the supreme commander of the first order even when i told you to follow his orders as if i was giving them !" snoke said threateningly

"Su, Su supreme leader i thought, i did what was best for the first order if we sent out the fifth fleet to attack resistance and republic bases which were in the core worlds' he stuttered

"Is that so? and at what cost, star killer base is crippled and useless for what 20 years or it may blow up, yet you speak to me about doing what's best for the first order you are useless and incompetent and you shall pay for it. Lord Ren you are the supreme commander you may do as wish with him" said snoke. I was relieved that i got to deal with this maggot . "My master as you said star killer base may be out of use for the next twenty years due to seismic and geothermal activities it's best we have some monitor the situation there so general hux can be the first volunteer. snoke nodded in agreement two of the praetorian moved from behind snoke and grab hux and dragged him out of the throne room squealing and begging for mercy . Hux was placed on a escape pod with food and water and sent to starkiller base the next day.

"Lord Ren you may be the supreme commander of the army, but dont forget your place i want your foucus on finding skywalker as well" said snoke in his deathly tone

"yes master" i replied

Flashback end....

Now i was going to the D'qar to capture the resistance with five resurgent class star destroyers it was more than enough firepower , we exited hyperspace to just in time to catch the resistance trying to escape. The resurgent class star destroyers were spread out in a dagger like formation with my finalizer spear heading it. Lieutenant kata tell captain cannady to join with formation he nodded and left to carry out the orders and two minutes later a massive mandator four siege class dreadnought came out of hyperspace, twice the size of the resurgent class star destroyers, large quad surface laser canons were located on the top of the ship , but what drew the most attention were the two massive axial orbital auto-cannons under the ship , those canons were large ship killers. Now joined in formation which was centered behind but above the finalizer and between the other star destroyers but spaced out enough so the auto cannons could be fired without our ships in the trajectory . "Captain cannady charge the auto cannons and prepare to fire on their ships" i said through the hologram " yes lord ren " he replied immediately and his hologram disappeared. "Deploy tie fighters to guard the fleet i don't want any of those resistance pilots feeling lucky " i ordered

The Raddus

"general six first order star destroyers and a first order dreadnought just came out off hyperspace" said a communications officer

"we need to leave admiral ackbar" said trying to reason with leia

"we can't leave as yet we still have people on the ground"leia replied back

"How long till evacuation is complete ? leia asked

"Thirty more minutes general "lieutenant connix replied

"I can try to stall them just give me the order, plus we need to destroy that thing " poe said pointing at the dreadnought

"Are you crazy i understand you want to stall them but to attack a well defended dreadnought would be suicide leia" said in a annoyed tone .

"don't you see it general we are on the verge of being destroyed by that ship , it will tear through our ships, we need to do something " poe shouted

"I will not risk pilots lives to commit suicide so stand down" leia shouted back

"Well i'm not going to sit back and watch them destroy us" poe retorted back and walked off the bridge.

Leia sighed she knew she was not a leader that would sacrifice lives for a greater good that's why she had admiral ackbar to tell her the hard truths sometimes and hard decisions to make ,she couldn't control poe he was too hotheaded stubborn he didn't understant retreat and she knew that it wasn't was good . Months she the warned the republic about the first order, which was a known remnant of the empire and was increasing their military build up in the outer rim but they refused to heed her warnings , some senators saying that even if they are a remnant of the empire they are staying far from the republic and they will not commit money and resources to an enemy that has never provoked or attacked the republic and to make matters worse the senators knew she was the daughter of the notorious and evil darth vader who would never listen to the daughter of an evil man. But she knew some of the senators of the republic had deals with the first order and it was no surprise that they would speak on there behalf.

But it was already too late the first order destroyed the hosnian system, destroyed the republic and killing millions with them. And destroyed numerous republic fleets. And her son ben solo was with the same thing she was fighting and even now she could feel him through the force at this moment.

she was brought out of her thoughts when she saw poe's x wing squadrons followed by a squad of Mg-100 star fortress bomber. She couldn't do anything right now all she could do was hope that poe would succeed in destroying the dreadnought

poe pov

"ok guys listen up we need to take out that dreadnought or we will never leave this system alive. I want black squadron to distract enemy fighters and red squadron on me we will to destroy their surface canons " poe said over his comms

"Copy that squadron leader " they said over the comms

"Sir tie fighters incoming!" said hal through the comms

"Break off and engage " poe ordered

10 minutes later

finalizer

those bomber sure are slow he thought but the strong armor would make up for their lack of speed no wonder their called starfortess. "captain cannady target those bombers instead of the raddus now " i said through the hologram, if those bombs were to drop those bombs on my ship i will be meeting god very soon . Captain phasma recall all fighters immediately she nodded and started to relay my orders on the bridge. If you are all wondering captain phasma isn't the actress gwendoline christie , she is the actress kira spencer hesser from matilda (look it up). we cant have two gwendoline christies in this fanfic

The tie fighter squadrons retreated back to their ships out of the trajectory of auto cannons .

The Dreadnought bridge.....

"Sir the auto cannons are primed and ready" ,a lieutenant reported to cannady who was standing impatiently looking through the bridge port at the fighters destroying the finalizer's and the dreadnought's surface canons with their bombers following behind.

"Fire! " cannady shouted

the auto cannons started to glow crimson red releasing four large red laser beams towards the bombers which tore through their thick armoured hull blowing up their ion bomb payload with its hull causing a large explosion destroying any ships close to it a few x wings weren't so lucky and were caught up in the explosion and the debris. poe who was a good distance away from the explosion but was still shaken up his x wing rattling from the force it generated. He gritted his teeth in anger he lost a lot of pilots and nothing to show for the sacrifices.

Leia seeing the horror unfold before her eyes ordered poe and the remaining x wing pilots to retreat immediately which they did without any hesitation.

"general evacuation is complete" connix shouted

before leia could reply

"jump to hyperspace now" ackbar shouted to the raddus's pilots

they noded immediately and started charging the engine for hyperspace travel.

And with a blast of light they escaped through hyperspace

I was smiling behind my mask, watching the resistance flee was a nice spectacle to see but i was broken out of my stupor when lieutenant kata reported that the supreme leader's ship the supremacy will be arriving in a few minutes, right behind our formation. they will be aiding us in capturing the remnants of the resistance. I knew this would happen. It looks like snoke's time is almost up
