The door opens. Two men in First order naval uniforms enter through the door. One was an officer with a clipboard in his hand. The other was commander Michael Wainford. They walked down a long corridor. At the end of the hall was another door. Throughout the hall, there was windows showing the shipyard. Outside, droids were working on new military, and civilian ships. The shipyard was filled to the brim with new ships being built. Michael was excited for what was about to come. They both get to the end of the corridor. The officer types in a passcode into a panel by the door, and the door opens. Michael walks in the small room first. There was nothing in it, except a large window to Michael's right. The window was covered by a metal wall. The room was dark.

"Are you ready to see your new ship commander?"

Michael grinned. He was excited for his new ship. It was like a kid getting his first blaster. He turned to the officer.

"Yes, I am ready."

The officer walked up to a button next to the window. He pushed the button. The metal wall slowly moved down. Michael could get glimpses, but the window was not fully opened. There was nothing blocking the window. The beauty of the ship took Michael's breath away. This iconic ship was finally his. It was a Victory X-class Star Destroyer. The officer began to smile. He has always gotten the same expression when he shows a commander his new ship.

"A beautiful ship isn't it commander?"

"It's a magnificent looking ship."

Droids could be seen on the ship doing last minute preparations on the ship. The star nearby made the ship light up. It has always been Michael's dream since the naval academy to command a star destroyer. Michael spent 30 seconds not saying a word observing the excellent design of the star destroyer.

"Forgive me for asking commander, but do you have a name for your ship yet?"

"The Warlock"

"Very good."

The commander stopped observing the ship and started walking to the door. He stopped at the doorway. He turned around to the officer.

"I want to start getting my crew on the ship. I will be heading for the ship right now."

"Yes commander!"

Michael turned around and started walking down the hallway. He could not wait to step aboard the Warlock.

The view from the bridge was excellent. The whole shipyard could be seen. Michael was standing in front of the windows on the bridge while the crew were getting settled in. The lieutenant walks up to Michael and salutes. Michael turns to him, and salutes.

"It's a beautiful ship isn't it lieutenant?"

"Yes sir, it is a great ship. All of the crew has been boarded. We are ready to depart when you are commander."

"Very well, prepare to turn on the engines"

The lieutenant turned around towards the crew and repeated the commander's order.

"Turn on the Ion engines!"

Michael walked back to the commander seat. He could hear the engines begin to hum. The humming became louder.

"Commander, the engines are at full power"

"Move the ship forward at quarter speed. Nice and easy."

"Forward at quarter speed!"

The Warlock began to slowly accelerate out of the shipyard. The Warlock was much more slower than the Reliant. Once the Warlock was out of the shipyard, Wainford orders:

"Forward at hall speed"

"Forward at half speed!"

The humming became a little bit louder as the Warlock accelerated faster. The shipyard was now far away from the Warlock. Michael was enjoying a cup of coffee from his chair, while the lieutenant stands by him.

"Let's plot a course to Avalonia. Turn 90 degrees to starboard."

"Turn 90 degrees to starboard. We will plot a course for Avalonia."

The Warlock slowly turned to starboard. Once the ship have turned 90 degrees. officers begin plotting the course for Avalonia.

"Full stop. Start the gravity well generators. I want to know when we are ready to jump into hyperspace"

"Full stop! Start the gravity well generators!"

The ship stopped. The gravity well generator started to generate loud noises as it started up. So far, the commander was pleased with the performance with the Warlock. An ensign stood up from his chair, and faced his commander.

"Commander, the gravity well generators are at 100% power. Hyperspace travel to Avalonia has been plotted. We are ready to go into hyperspace when you are."

"Engage hyperspace!"

"Yes commander!"

The ensign sat down, and began typing on his computer. The ship hummed even louder and begin the hyperspace process. The Warlock goes into hyperspace, and travels to Avalonia.
