Welcome to the tale of a galaxy in the far future.

A future untold by any other, until today.

It all started when the USS Cavalrys engine started acting up again. The USS calvary was a cargo ship, carrying fuel food and other supplies to the nearby planet; Zephoria.

The captain; martin, was hard at work procuring the dankest of memes on his holo projector when the alarm started wailing.

He holds down the intercom button and yells "Whats going on?", the ships first mate; john, says "Pirates Captain".

Martin rushes from his quarters down the hall to the bridge, as he reaches the bridge theres a large thump, and the ship shakes.

"We're being boarded!" John yells. "Get the men to the armoury, NOW!!" Martin yells.

Martin rushes to the armoury where the men are getting armed, and he grabs a rifle. Suddenly the ship shakes and the sound of blaster fire can be heard faintly.

"Lets go!" Martin says to the men. As they step out of the armoury into the hall pirates apear at the other end of the hall, "FIRE!!" Marin yells.

The men exchange fire for a few minutes until all but 2 of martins men are alive. "JOHN WHERE ARE YOU" "The engine room, the engines are out!" "We gotta abandon ship, get to the escape pods!" "Aye captain!".

As the escape pod blasts away from the ship a loud creaking sound is heard. "Whats that?" Says martin "Tractor beam, they're puling us in!". "Crap..".

As they get pulled aboard the pirate vessel martin says; "Don't fight just surrender." The escape pod, now inside the pirate ship, cracks open. "Sala ackar!" one of the pirate says. "Whats he saying?" asks john "It means hands up."

A few pirates escort them to the brig, where john and martin are seperated and escorted to their own cells...

Martin wakes up droggy the next morning, atleast he thinks its morning, its hard to tell time in space without a watch.

Martin finds his cell door has been cracked into pieces and he manages to pry himself out into all the hall. "All the cells are empty.. Odd.." Martin says to himself.

He walks out into the main hall and sees a sign that says "Sacark Darap" with an arrow under it. "So the bridge is that way.." He walks down the hall and enters the bridge, its empty and all the control panels are smoking and sparking. "The hell happened here?"

He hears a loud roar, looks behind him and sees an alien pirate with a length of pipe, the alien tries to hit martin with the pipe but he dodges it and kicks the alien in the face. The alien drops the pipe and starts running off the other direction. Martin ventures back out into the hall with the pipe in his hand.

He hears footsteps coming up behind him to swirl around and nearly hit john in the face with the pipe. "John?", "Martin??". "Do you know what happened here?". "A solar flare fried half the ship, and while they were making repairs I started hearing screams, then the ship shook and I fell unconcious. A few hours later I crawled out of my cell to look around, then heard a loud screech so I hid in a storage closet. It sounded like there is a monster on the ship but I'm not sure what exactly is going on."

Just as john was explaining they hear the pirate who attacked martin scream then suddenly went quiet.. "Monsters, nonsense.." said martin "Maybe.. But we should be careful either way. We should get to the armoury and get some weapons!" "then we should try to get our escape pod working and get out of here."

They make their way to the armoury and grab rifles, then go to the hangar where their ship was. The hear a screach and see a large shadow flash across a wall. "RUN!!" Martin screams.

As they run down corridor after corridor they hear loud footsteps get closer and closer, they dare not look back. They get to the hangar and close the blast door quickly. As the door closes they catch a glimpse of the monster. It was a massive lizzard like creature, atleast 7 foot long, its mouth stained with blood. "And you thought the monster was nonsense.."

They, still panting walk over to the escape pod. "The RCS regulator circuit is broken, the board needs to be replaced" says martin "Damn.." says john. "We need to get to the storage room.." says martin "But that.. THING out there will kill us!" "but we have these" martin says holding up his blaster. "Its scales will just bounce these off" "If we don't try we'll die of hunger in here." "Fine..".

They open the hangar door. The monster is gone.. Possibly a trap. They run down the hall and dash off left down a corridor, they hear a clanking and pounding in the walls "Its in the air ducts!" Says john. "JUST KEEP RUNNING!" Says martin.

They make it to the storage room and start rummaging through things. "WE NEED AN RCS REGULATOR CIRCUIT BOARD!!" Yells martin "Found it!" yells martin. "Lets go!" Yells martin, as they dash off the way they came.

"Its just up ahead around this corner!" Martin says. as john trips on a pipe. "JUST GO LEAVE ME!!" yells john. "NOOOOO!" Martin yells grabbing him up. They both arrive at arrive at the hangar and close the door and the monster starts hitting the door, denting it. "Hes breaking through! Quick get the board in and I'll warm the engine!" says martin "Aye!".

As they get in to the escape pod and seal it, the hangar door breaks open. "OPEN THE FRONT HANGAR DOOR LETS GET OUT OF HERE!!" John yells "Done!" And they blast off into space, as the monster gets sucked out into the vacuum of space.. "Plot a course for Alao prime!" martin says. "Aye cap'n".
