[i]Stolen Imperial Venator-Class Ship, renamed [/i]Reborn Justice
[i]Orbit above Coruscant[/i]

 Groups of Clones stalked the hallways guarding the engine control room of [i]Reborn Justice[/i]. Squads One through Three were charged with patrolling the corridors leading to the room, Squad Four had taken a defensive position outside the Engine room, and Squad Five had hidden within the room and were the last defense if everything went to shit. There had been a recent boarding, and the enemies were on the ship for one thing; to cripple it. Of course, they couldn't be allowed to sabotage the Venator, and so the Clones used a strategy they had learned from the short time they had spent among the Imperial Fleet. The enemies were a group of rebels trying to take over the ship and use it to sneak behind enemy lines.
 As Squad Two turned a corner, a stun grenade rolled into the group formation and detonated. As the Clones from Squad Two fell, one of the soldiers' blasters fired, alerting the other squads that someone was attempting to breach the engine room. Rebel teams were currently stalking along behind One and Three, and as soon as the squads had turned down side corridors, the rebels ran straight for the engine room. As one of the rebel hackers began slicing into the system to open the door, the rest of the soldiers took defensive positions and waited for the Clones to get to them. The door opened before Squads One and Three got around to it, and one of the rebel teams rushed into the room. Before they got 2 feet in, they were mowed down by Squad Four, who had taken cover behind various crates. The other group of rebels, who had been tasked with guarding the door, now took positions just outside of the room and began firing at Squad Four. Before half of the men in Four dropped, Squads One and Three came up behind the rebels and finished them off.

[i]Security Room of Stolen Imperial Venator-Class Ship, renamed[/i] Reborn Justice
[i]Orbit over former Jedi Temple, Coruscant

 Colonel Jagar Barn and General Lewis watched the rebels progress via the security cameras. As Squad Two fell, Lewis slightly shifted his feet while standing at parade rest, while Barn gave a slight smirk. "It seems your soldiers, though bred for war, can not beat a man that is fighting for his freedom," Barn announced. Lewis simply shrugged. "There are still Clones left, mind that you don't forget about them." Barn waved Lewis' comment away. As the rebel teams got to the engine room doors and began hacking, Barn let out a chuckle. Lewis cracked a rare smile, and as Barn saw it, he gave a hearty laugh. "What is it you enjoy? That your men are ill suited to defend the ship?" Lewis simply shook his head and nodded towards the view screens.
 As the doors opened and rebels poured into the room, Squad Four peeked out from behind their crates and filled every square inch of doorway with blaster projectiles. Soldiers fell over one another, and it wasn't long before all men were down. Barn stared at the view screens with a look of complete and utter shock on his face and Lewis gave the Colonel a pat on the back. As the last remaining rebels began trying to pick off Squad Four, the remaining patrol squads came up behind the soldiers and took them down. Barn sat down, his hands shaking slightly from the shock of his best men getting cornered and taken down so easily.
[indent]Lewis[/indent] walked over to the Colonel and sat down next to him. "You see Jagar," Lewis began, "This is how the Empire operates. Your men's tactics may work well against some common militia, but if they try to fight the remnants of the Imperial Army in this state, they will not last five minutes." On the view screens, clones began helping up the fallen rebel troops, who were part of the Coruscant Loyalty Fighters. Colonel Barn leaned forward and rested his head in his hands. "If you're telling the truth," Barn whispered, "Then we have no chance. All hope is lost. We can't possibly win against an army of that." He waved an arm at the screens, where Clones and Loyalty Fighters were now headed back to the hanger bay and talking to each other. Lewis shook his head. "That's not true Colonel. Your men have something even the best Clones don't. [i]Motivation[/]. They know what it's like to live under a tyrant, and they'll do anything to stop it. My Clones, they were part of the army. Sure, they didn't like it, but they had a different perspective then your men."
 Lewis stood and walked to the door that would lead to the elevator. He wanted to talk to the men before they went back to Coruscant and dealt with all the politics of the surrounding planets under the New Galactic Republic's control. Barn got up and walked with the General, and as they headed for the elevator, Barn took a deep breath. "General, I know it's probably too late to ask, but would you mind helping my troops train? I don't want my men to die. If there's the slightest chance that something can be done to save them, I'll accept it." Lewis laughed. Of course we can help. Wouldn't make us great allies if we didn't help, now would it?" He clapped the Colonel on the back. "Don't worry, we'll help you. No matter what it takes, we will make your men ready to fight the Empire." As they waited for the elevator, Barn looked to Lewis. "General? Is it true what they're saying about the droid armies being reactivated? I've heard rumors, but only rumors." The General closed his eyes. "It's not a rumor, and they aren't being reactivated. They're already attacking."
