The last thing she could remember was the destruction of a space station, where she encountered what appeared to have been another Metroid hatchling, only to be taken away by once again a resurrected Meta Ridley. She has just felt the shockwave of the blast when she suddenly felt very numb and rather nauseous coming from out of the blue. The last thing the bounty hunter saw before she closed her eyes was the distortion of the stars as her ship jumps into hyperspace. Yet she didn't issue any coordinates into any location whatsoever... Regardless, Samus finds herself in an uncharted part of space, fully unaware that she hasn't just jumped a star system... but rather a whole dimension away from her own! She flies her ship down to the planet's surface, the engines humming loudly as she boosts across the blue sky and over the vast and luscious green plains. Her ship could be heard for miles, with many on the ground noticing her gunship roaring through the sky. After a minute of searching, Samus finally finds a nice flat space on where to land. The ship hums as steams as it lands softly on the grass, opening a sliding hatch at the top of her ship. From the hatch, the bounty hunter's Varia Suit gleams in the sunlight, her armor making her entire body shine for just a few seconds as she was lifted up by the elevator. With her visor, Samus scans the location around her, inspecting the land as far as the eye can see. Initially, she saw no signs of intelligent light, when suddenly a light beeping sound alerts her to activity going on to the east. Acknowledging the signal, Samus jumps down from her ship and begins slowly walking to the direction given.

Several miles to the south, one can see the smoke coming out of a wrecked star fighter, a TIE Advanced x1 to be precise, as well as a large trail of kicked up dirt as it screeched to a halt.. It's entire right wing was completely wrecked, having large holes on its side, with some fire coming out of the mechanical wound. The rest of the ship was also not in prime condition, but regardless it wasn't as badly damaged compared to the wing. Regardless, it won't be getting off the ground anytime soon. From atop the burning wreckage, a lone, dark figure stands ominously over the landscape. The only thing you can hear is the repeating sound of a breathing organism... imposing and mechanical. Lord Vader has happened to have yet another bad day, and by far was he not happy about it. Gripping his right hand into a tight fist out of pure hatred and anger, he remembers the battle that took place over Yavin. The Empire had finally located the secret rebel base hidden on Yavin's 4th moon, after setting a tracking device on a rebel ship known as the Millenium Falcon. In an attempt to utterly wipe out the remaining rebels, they called upon the stupendous might of the mighty Death Star, a moon-sized superweapon that can destroy an entire planet. The rebels launched a daring assault on the battle station, in a one-time attempt to destroy it, which couldn't be done thanks to them having stolen the plans for said weapon. Vader piloted his personal TIE Advanced starfighter, flanked by two of his most elite pilots, as he attempted to protect the Death Star from the rebel threat. However, while he was targeting an X-Wing star fighter while down in one of the various trenches, the Sith Lord's craft was knocked out of the battlefield after an unknown laser shot struck both his flanking pilots, the impact having also damaged the wing. As he spun out of control, he saw a huge blast of light as it signified a rebel victory... and a devastating Imperial lost. Before Vader would report this to his master and get his ship stabilized, he mysteriously went to light-speed, ultimately placing Vader into this unknown planet. If only he could sense how really... REALLY far away he is now. Vader hops down from atop his craft, his cape blocking out the sunlight as he lands rather softly on the ground. He then heads to the north-east, in an attempt to find a ship to get him off this planet and back to his master, Emperor Palpatine, despite what punishment that will await him there.
