The hallways always seemed to have a chill around this place. The cold, crisp, and synthetic air the roamed through the interior of the Venator Class cruiser (fig. 1) felt better than naturally produced oxygen of a planet. Too hundreds of thousands of clone soldiers, Venator Class cruisers were home. After being in countless battles, the cruiser known as The Providence had become a well-known vessel amongst the outer rim territories. This cruiser was what CT-2532 called home. CT-2532 was just his rank number, he preferred to be called Jex.
Jex was like any other clone, he had the same bold face, dark brown eyes, jet black military haircut, and passion for the Republic. Jex was part of the 41st elite star corps fighter battalion and his squad

Jammer’s fighter had been swarmed with vulture droids and fighter crashed down to the planet’s surface. Niner had told Jex that they should go on a rescue mission to find him, but there was not enough time. They had to warn The Providence about the incoming attack.
When they reached The Providence they saw that it was surrounded by 4 Separatist star cruisers. Red and blue blaster bolts raced through space smashing into the cruisers. The squadron had put all their power into their thrusters and race towards the cruisers. As the made communication with the command bridge, they were relayed orders to return to the cruiser in order to make the jump into hyperspace. Jex and his squad followed their orders and returned to The Providence.
The hanger bay that housed the Starfighters suffered minimal damage but the rest of the ships haul had suffered significant damage. It Jex and his squad had to make their way to the command bridge. It took them nearly a half hour due to so many always engulfed in flames. It was hard for them to say their home in such bad shape. The hallways that were normally filled with the calm and happy chatter of troops were now either full with the crackle of flames or dead

It was nearly impossible for the separatist to track a ship through hyperspace. They had done it somehow. The admiral ordered all of squads to their fighters in order to repeal the enemy attack. The squads got to their fighters and took off with bursts of acceleration.
Jex’s squad was the first out into space and they were all in. This was not just a battle for the republic, but for their home. If The Providence went down, they would go down with it. They locked on to the shield generator of the first separatist cruiser and blasted it into pieces. Twisting and turning to avoid the debris, Jex’s fighter got clipped by a piece of scrap and his fighter was giving off a trail of black smokes. It was merely a scratch, but Jex kept an eye on it.
The cannons of the providence fired an intense amount of blaster bolts into the command bridge of the Separatist command ship and it started to fall apart. Things started to look hopeful for once. Then it all changed in a second. There was a droid fighter squadron that was on a mass spree of destruction. Destroying any fighter that got in its way with no mercy. Even the ships that were helpless in space.

On the morning of August 29, 1988, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower was returning to her homeport in Norfolk after conducting a six-month deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. She had performed extremely well in exercises and was set to receive the Battle “E.” The carrier had recently taken on approximately 500 Tigers in Bermuda, joining their parents for the final leg of the voyage. Also, the Secretary of the Navy was aboard that morning, and had been present on the bridge prior to his departure at 0807. 14 minutes later, at 0821 according to the deck log, the Eisenhower struck the Spanish bulk carrier Urduliz, which was anchored in a designated anchorage area, “A,” in berth “Z.”
By the second torpedo, all the men on The USS Indianapolis were wide awake. Things were starting to go wrong on the USS “Indy.” Flames were venting and all the power h...

...unters fighter appears and opens fire. Samus is hit in the shoulder, incapacitating her. As the fighter closed in for the kill, several laser blasts obliterate the fighter in a fiery blaze. Samus’ gunship roars in and lands, piloted by Galactic Federation Corporal Tavish Preston. The skilled pilot was hired by Samus Aran shortly after the end of the Gorea Crisis and the destruction of Oubliette. Preston exits the gunship and notices Aran incapacitated. He lifts her up and into the gunship, but not before noticing a data card on the spacepad. He picks up the card and slides it in his pocket before carrying the incapacitated bounty hunter on to the gunship on his shoulder. The ship lifts off, away from the metropolitan Petroplask and out of Anadyr V’s atmosphere. The ship jumps into hyperspace, en route to the planet Daiban, capital planet of the Galactic Federation.
Tom Wolfe writes in the book “The Right Stuff” about early jet pilots that demonstrated extreme bravery, and behaviorisms that enabled them to be part of a furtive group of individuals. It has been said that these men usually assemble in groups among themselves in a way that solicited the men to be a part of a privileged membership. It is these pilots with proven courage, and abilities that will go forward testing the next barrier; space.

However, just after passing over the islands, the group's leader Lieutenant Taylor reported that the planes' instruments were malfunctioning, and they were lost, trying to get back to Fort Lauderdale. A rescue plane was dispatched after locating their general location, but mysteriously disappeared off radar and was never heard from again. After a while, the captain said that
They would have about twenty days before they would run out of food. Then they would have to risk it and take the shields down when someone went to look something from outside and they didn’t want to get to that. So there was forming some tension in the ship.
Several years previous, the galaxy was thrown into turmoil in the war of two-twelve. All colonized planes were affected in varying strengths. Earth was the second-most affected, being the base of the Frontierists. Kepler 30-c, renamed Kesler, was the base of the losing team, the Kourou.
On December 5, 1945 at 2:10 p.m. the five avengers set off from Florida. There were 12 trainee pilots and one trained pilot amongst them. They were to fly in a triangle while practising Bombing, and this area seemed to be in the Bermuda Triangle. At 3:45 p.m. the leader and commander, Charles Taylor reported to the Control Tower, that his compass was malfunctioning. They flew farther and farther away for land and towards the East, but they didn’t realise where they were. One Trainee did radio that only if they flew to the West, but Taylor didn’t
