A War of Will: Part I
Enter the Eraser
Aboard the USS Eraser II
"Captain, all preliminary checks complete, she's all your's."
"Excelent, our enemies will never know what hit them. Lieutenant, set our course for the Geonosian Mine fields, we'll give our new ship a baptism by fire!"
Hours later near the Geonosian Mine Fields:
"Captain, sir, we have dropped out of lightspeed and are activating the cloak generators. Our scanners show several Euro Ships but they havn't detected us."
"Perfect, just as planned, I think we'll play with our pray before we strike. Lieutenant, order our men in the torpedo room to load a cloaked probe. Set it to de-cloak once it reaches the far side of that fleet. They will naturally think that something is coming from that direction when we can surprise them!"
"Right away sir."
The cloaked Eraser II launched a cloaked probe towards the Geonosian Sun, in the distance behind the European Battle Fleet. Once it reached less than 100 ft. from one of the ships in the fleet, however, the Euro Sensory Disruptors put the probe off course. It diverted and struck the ship directly on the top, giving away its position.
On the Struck Euro Ship
"Cap'n, Sir, something's bloody run into us!"
"What? How could this be. Did the sensors pick up anything?"
"No Sir, whatever it was it must have been cloaked. We didn't have a thing on sensors until it hit us."
"We have a hidding rodent then, Corporal, order the fleet to fire in the direction of where that "thing" came from. We'll smoke'em out!"
The massive laser turrets on the Destroyers and Dreadnoughts in the Euro Fleet slew in random directions, firing volley after volley into the dark emptiness of space. Once they had seen the probe hit the Euro's ship, the Eraser II had moved into a Ion Nebula, distorting their sensory signiture even further.
After several minutes of firing, the European's haulted the assult. That was when the Eraser made its move.
"Lieutenant, charge the main weapon, they've had plenty of time to report this back to HQ. The remainder of their fleet will be too late to save them. Hmm Hmm.. Ha HAA HAA HA HAAA!"
The cloaked Eraser charged its horrific weapon. The experimental ship had never performed a live firing of the "Anihililator Mk I" before and everyone on board the relativly small ship was estatic. This would prove the might of the Jedi Republic Navy once and for all. Minutes later the weapon was fully charged and the Eraser slowly skirted out from the Nebula. Once within range of the massive Euro fleet, the Anihiliator was activated.
In a blinding flash that lasted for only a millisecond, all the massive ships of the European's menacing armada were vaporized. The heat and energy of a million suns was brought to bear upon them by the small Eraser II. Minute fragments of unvaporized tri-stronium alloy was all that remained of the strike force.
"Good show, Lieutenant! Set course for Coruscant, we have time to rearm and relax."
