For the past couple weeks, two small pirate vessels have been harassing First Order civilian freighters, and transports. The First Order responds by sending the FIV Warlock, a new star destroyer. One of the pirate ships is believed to be a captured Tu5k-Class Assault Corvette which is the most armed ship. The other ship was a YV-929 armed freighter. These two small ships have been terrorizing First Order trade ships, and they must be stopped. The Warlock outgunned the two ships together, but it was slower. It would take the commander, Michael Wainford's experience from the dominion of Endor and the naval academy to stop these two ships.

The Warlock warps in. In front of it, was the remnants of a few ships floating in the middle of space. The two pirate ships were nowhere to be seen, but there was proof of the ships being there. On the bridge of the Warlock, sat Michael in the commander's chair. He observed the crew working, and preparing for the combat that was about to come. Lieutenant Yuhasz walked up to the commander.

"Commander, we have no sight of the two ships yet. Your orders?"

"Full speed ahead. Begin scanning for any activity in the area. Have our gunners ready to fire upon the two vessels."

"Yes, commander."

Yuhasz turned around towards the bridge crew. He cleared his throat so he could yell the orders.

"Full speed ahead! Scan for pirate activity! And gunners can open fire on the two pirate ships when spotted!"

The ship began moving towards the graveyard. The crew began scanning for any activity. At first they found nothing. It wasn't until the Warlock was close to the wreckage, when the crew spotted movement around some of the freighters

"Commander, we spotted movement in the wreckage. One size of a small corvette, and one the size of a freighter."

"Turn sixty degrees to port, half speed. Prepare turbolasers and missiles.

"Turn sixty degrees to port at half speed! Prepare to fire upon the pirates!"

The Warlock turned slowly, while the guns became alive on the starboard side of the ship. The Warlock was now parallel with the wreckage. From behind half of a freighter, was the corvette that moved out of cover very fast, and started to fire upon the star destroyer. The Warlock returned fire at the corvette. The incredible firepower from the turbolasers chipped down it's port shield at an alarming rate. To try to relieve the pressure for the corvette, the freighter came out of hiding from the Warlock's northeast. It started firing its turbo laser cannons at the Warlock's aft. The Warlock responded by firing it's 10 fore long range turbolaser turrets at the freighter, while most of the firepower was still focused on. This fight won't be long, Michael thought. Then, the freighter fired it's concussion missiles at the Warlock. Majority of the missiles hit the fore, and some missed. The fore shield was damaged considerably.

"Commander, our fore shields are down to 30%."

"Have the engineers try to fix the shields, and turn five degrees to port"

"Aye, Aye Sir!"

The Warlock turned to port slightly to attempt to block the freighter firing on the fore while still focusing firepower on the corvette which it's port's shield was almost depleted.
NOTE: If you are a First Order fleeter, and want to help, you can. However, my ship is a stronger ship and could face these two ships on it's own

The Warlock was in control of the situation again. The port shield of the corvette has been destroyed and their side was completely vulnerable. The corvette began to turn but not before the Warlock could do heavy damage to their side. It takes out one turbolaser turret and a long range ion cannon. Meanwhile, in the bridge, Michael stood up and walked to the front of the bridge to look a the fighting going on outside. He saw the corvette beginning to repostition itself and wanted to use this weakness to his advantage.

"Fire the missiles!" while he pointed at the corvette, which was trying to turn to get out of the way.

After a few seconds of waiting, 10 missile launchers aimed at the corvette's aft, and fired. The hits were devastating hitting the aft, and causing it to slow down and not be as fast as it was before. Unlike most pirates, the pirate crew aboard the corvette did not surrender yet. They continued to fire on the Warlock with limited guns now. Michael wanted to deal with the freighter now. He was watching the corvette from the window, but now is focusing his attention on the freighter.

"Thirty degrees to port. Focus fire on the freighter"

"Thirty degrees to port. Focus fire on the freighter!"

The star destroyer slowly turned. By then the freighter decided to leave it's cover in the wreckage to try to flank the Warlock. This was a bad mistake. Now Michael's ship was focusing fire on the freighter. The Freighter had better shields then the corvette, but there will less weapons.

"Give me a shield report"

"Commander, our fore shields are at 41%, and our starboard shields are at 53%"

"Do we have any damage?"

"We have light damage on starboard, and moderate damage on fore. 3 long range turbolasers, and 1 missile launcher has been knocked out."

"Thank you midshipman"

A good amount of damage could be seen on the freighter as it has gotten overwhelmed by the guns of the Warlock. Michael looked over to see the corvette still trying to stay in the fight, but was failing due it's engine problems. Michael turned and walked to his chair to sit down. The commotion of the crew, and the sounds from the 20 turbolasers firing at the freighter filled the bridge. Michael was pleased with how good the ship was doing in combat. Even though the enemy they were facing were not experienced and had poor ships, the Warlock still preformed well.

Out of nowhere, an explosion occurred. Michael jumped up from his seat and jogged up to the window. The freighter was broken into 3 pieces. A turbolaser was able to hit a missile storage, and caused the ship to break up into threes. The crew on the bridge cheered, and clapped. The fight has lasted for about 3 hours, and the Warlock has finally destroyed one of the pirate ships, with other one being in such disrepair. Michael turned around to his crew.

"I want the fore pointing towards the corvette at full stop. Turn on the tractor beams, and target the corvette. Comms. officer I want the captain of that corvette on the line please"

Michael walked over to the comms station to grab the microphone. It took a while to convince the corvette's commander to answer the Warlock. As the two began to talk, the corvette was stuck in the Warlock's tractor beam, and it slowly travelled towards the star destroyer.

:: This is the commander of the FIV Warlock. I order you and your crew to stand down, and come out of the ships with your hands out when your ship is boarded.

:: We refuse to be detained, and will not come out of our ship::

:: If you choose to do that, stormtroopers will be forced to board your ship and arrest everyone by force.::

:: You can take our ship out of our cold dead hands::

The pirate captain ended the transmission. Michael placed the microphone back and walked back to Lieutenant Yuhasz.

"Have stormtroopers ready to forcibly board the corvette. They are refusing to stand down, so we will act by force."

"Yes commander, I will give the order over the ship comms"

Yuhasz walks away back to the comms station. Michael walks back to the window to see the corvette slowly travelling towards his ship. When looking at his ship, he could see the fire and damage that the two ships caused his ship. He would have to travel back to a space station get it repaired. The Warlock won it's first battle. The star destroyer has proven it's firepower, and it's heavy armor here today. Michael was finally living his dream of commanding a star destroyer.

NOTE: I chose the wrong account. I am the same as "Michael Wainford"

The pirate frigate was now close to the star destroyer. In the hangar, stormtroopers stood in formation waiting to board the pirate corvette. In the back of the stormtroopers was Michael and his XO. After a few more minutes. The corvette was tractor beamed in the Warlock. The stormtroopers divided up into two groups and boarded each hatch of the corvette. As the men marched into the corvette, blaster fire could be heard from the hangar. It wouldn't be too long before two stormtroopers came out with the pirate captain. He was kicking his feet trying to get out. This seem not to work, since the troopers dragged him to commander Wainford. The pirate captain stopped fighting and lowered his head.

"Captain, your men would still be alive if you would of surrendered."

The captain said nothing as he looked at the commander's shiny shoes. Michael's uniform was always clean and shiny. Wainford waited a few seconds for a response. He then looked up and sighed.

"Men, take this prisoner to a cell. He will be brought to justice for his crimes very soon."

The troopers took the captain away. This time, the pirate did not attempt to fight. Instead, his feet dragged across the floor of the hangar. Soon, he will be transported to a planet and put into a prison. Michael looked back to the corvette. It was beaten up, and there were flames on the aft from the concussion missiles. Pleased with the outcome of the battle, Michael turn to his XO.

" I want any stolen goods to be confiscated. As for the ship. release it from the Warlock. Add it to the ship graveyard."

"Yes, commander"

Both of them walked together to the elevator to the bridge. Once they got back to the bridge, Michael walks to a refrigerator, and grabbed a container of blue milk. He then grabbed a small glass and poured some milk into the glass. He walked back to main part of the bridge and sat in his chair.

"Commander, your orders?"

"Prepare gravity well generators for hyperspace. Set course for the nearest First Order space station. After we repair and refuel, set course for Dosuun. Our friend, the pirate captain, will be brought to justice. "

"Aye, aye, sir!"

Michael got comfortable in his seat while drinking his glass of blue milk. The gravity well generators could be heard powering up. The humming became very loud. The ship instantly went into hyperspace. Two pirate ships have been destroyed with the Warlock being moderately damaged.
