Galaxy Falls

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far away...

Galaxy Falls Episode I: A New Hope

It is a period of Civil War. Rebel Ships, striking from their hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Cipher Empire. During the battle, their spies managed to steal the plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the FEARAMID, an armored pyramid with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, PRINCESS MABEL races home aboard her starship, custodian to the stolen plans that could free her people and save the galaxy...

Chapter One: Mabel

My name is Mabel Alderaan. I live on the peaceful planet of Piedmont, and I work as a diplomat to the Cipher Empire.

Well, I did. Now, it’s more like, “Oh, you wanna be a peacekeeper? Well guess what? I’m gonna shoot at you.

Although, it probably doesn’t help that my troops went and started full out attacking theirs. So. I can see why they'd be a little angry.

"Your Majesty! The Imperials are coming! You must get to safety!" A guard calls from across the hallway. He is immediately shot by a blaster and killed. I run through the corridors, clutching the plans to my chest. Suddenly, I almost run into a small yet quickly moving droid.

"Perpie!" I cry, then quickly cover my mouth. If the empire hears me, I'm dead. Literally, they will kill me. I suddenly have an idea. "Perpie, you can store memories, right?"

Perpie beeps, "Bzzt Bloop Bleep blap!" which, I guess in droid speak, means, "Yes. I can." Kneeling down, I slide the plans into a disk slot and ask her to record a message.

"Stanford Pallas, years ago, you served my father in the Anomaly Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my Mission to bring you to Piedmont has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory system of this Perpetual Motion droid. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Piedmont. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Stanford Pallas. You're my only hope."

Suddenly, I hear footsteps. I know what this means. "Hurry!" I whisper to Perpie, who bleets a reply and scurries away. I suddenly find an entire battalion of Psy-Troopers surrounding me.

"Set your blasters to stun," one of them says, and then...

I know no more.

Chapter Two: Dipper

In my whole life, I've only ever seen my Great-Uncle Ford make two bad decisions.

One was connecting a power converter to a Moisture Vaporator.

The other was dragging me out to a sand crawler to buy droids.

SO that's where I am. Sitting on a burning oil tank and watching the transaction in Caliform's scorching heat. I am BORED, and the only form of entertainment I have right now is thinking about my miserable past.

My name is Dipper. I was orphaned when I was less than an hour old, and I was adopted by Ford. He brought me here to live with him on Caliform. We run a moisture farm together, and I serve as his apprentice.

But life's not all bad. He values me as his equal, usually asks me before doing something (today is not one of those days) and lets me assist in projects.
