“Looks clear sir.”
The scout trooper lowers his magnoculars as his lieutenant nods.
“We’ve word that an extremely dangerous rebel operative is lurking within that derelict ship. She’s some kind of alien, goes by-“ checking his data pad “-The Detonator. The Destroyer. The Decimator.”
“Sir?”
“Well that’s the information we received in that anonymous tip-off. It also warned she was planing more ‘totally badass’ attacks.”
“Very well then sir, we’ll bring her to justice.”

All around the dark silhouette of the ship stormtroopers gathered. Even with the weak moonlight above the swamp was murky.

The first team approaches an exterior door and posts up on either side of it as a burly trooper steps forward with a battering ram.
“You are cleared soldiers. Execute!”
The ram slams forward and the door crumples inwards like cardboard as the squad charges inside. Immediately there’s the sound of heavy blaster fire and EDM as the ship lights up from within.
“Sir there’s definitely more than one in here, requesting reinforcements!”
“Request received. Squads 2 and 3. Move to support!”

More troopers storm the building and the chaos only seems to increase until the imperials make their way to the huge central room where a karaoke stage with dozens of little cutouts of Dhel are singing an upbeat dance tune. The soldiers pause for a moment, rifles aimed as they scan the darkness before the walls of the room light up… vid screens?

The figure on the screens certainly appears to be a blue skinned alien. Although the troopers’ attention is more immediately drawn to the two detonators she’s holding and the twin plunger detonators sitting on the ground in front of her

“Okay…okay. Yeah, it’s on! Hey guys! What’s up?”
A stunned silence is her answer
“Oh wow, tough crowd. Anyway, I just wanted to say like. This raid, having so many of you here, the whole coming at night thing… it really means a lot to me. Sometimes I kinda wonder if I am an ultimate badass and having you all here… well, thank you.”

She jams a thumb down on one of the detonators and the troopers flinch, but rather than a blast the walls of the ship simply fall open. Leaving the imperials standing in the middle of the swamp surrounded by talking Nara screens.

“Yeah! Decoy base! Cardboard, paper mache and happening off screen baby! I’m not just a pretty face you know.”

She hits the second detonator and the karaoke stage splits open revealing piles and piles of explosives all tastefully arranged.

“And a decoy stage! As if I’d actually haul another real karaoke stage out into the swamp after the first three. Fools!”
By now several of the troopers have turned to run and Nara sighs

“I won’t lie guys. It’s been emotional.”
Slipping on a pair of aviators
“Good news though. I did the math, folks can totally see this from space.”
And she leaps forward landing with a foot on each plunger detonator as the explosives go off in a ball of flame and light, a temporary sun hovering over the flash dried mud of the swamp as the entire clearing is blown away.

On a nearby hill, the sphere of light reflects off Nara’s glasses.

“…Okay well now I should actually get off the planet for a bit. I hear Naboo is nice this time of year….Oh and like, maybe found a mercenary company? Gotta have post Bellionas goals after all.
Turning and walking back into the darkness
“Is that on theme for me?… eh, I can make it work. Blue’s…Mews? No it’s a religious experience but not a church. Blue’s News? Nah, everyone knows social media killed that. Blue’s….Pews. Yeah!”
High above the night sky lights up as several passing ships try to get a visual on the blast
“And we’re gonna specialise in awesome!”
