The Imperial cruiser Indomitable cruised among the stars, or whatever passed for their being stars in this area. On board the cruiser was Commodore Braxus, the right man for this grisly task. The bridge was full of people and machinerey for this special operation. Strapped into the machinerey, were three people, all ex-Sovereignty Commanders, bound to the devices of tortures by virtually unbreakable straps. The ship approached a cluster of stars, and gas clouds, identified by not only the tortured prisoners, but also by intact memory cores taken from captured ships, and the computers of command bunkers siezed from the rash of recent surrenders from the Outer Rim Sovereignty, while not showing the exact location, never the less gave the Imperial fleet a very good idea, a very close location, of where the three hidden planets of the Outer Rim Sovereignty were located.

Commodore Braxus strode from the viewport and over to the torture table where an ex-Sovereignty Commodore layed prostrate on it. This man was strapped into a device that when activated pulled and stretched the man in all directions. With a gesture to one of the executioners, the machine was activated again. Yet again the man began to scream as all of his muscles and bones were streched to the breaking point. With a sudden scream his hip bone popped out of it's socket with the man's waist. With another gesture the machine was shut down, and a big, burly medic walked over to the man, and with the greatest amount of pain possible, shoved the mans thigh bone back into the socket. The wailing from the Commodore lasted for about another five minutes, then a sedative was pumped into him in order to quiet him down. Then, a detective walked in, and questioned the man again, once again getting a little more information out of him.

Leaving the Commodore behind, Braxus walked over to where an ex-Admiral and an ex-officer were in chairs sitting opposite of one another, facing one another. It was discovered that the Admiral was having a love affair with this female officer, and so it was decided to try a dose of torture on her in order to have him talk, but so far it wasn't working too well. So it was time for a new approach. An Executioner approached with an Vibro-axe, and position himself in between the woman and the Admiral. The Admiral was seen to grow nervous, and so Braxus ordered the Executioner to switch weapons from the axe to a rusty old Virbopike, the real weapon of interrogation for this session. It was interseted into the woman's shoulder, with the woman screaming in pain, then the real fun began as it was switched on. Blood gurgled out of the wound, and the woman began to convulse violently. The Admiral came out of his seat screaming, and leapt atop the Executioner. Two Imperial SpecNav Commandoes quickly came out of the wings, and threw the Admiral back into his seat, restraining him this time with leather steel straps. The Executioner then withdrew the weapon from the woman's shoulder. She slumped in her chair, and medics quickly attended to her, slapping bacta bandages on her, keeping her alive for right now, should Braxus decide to have her tortured some more later on. The Admiral was now ghost white, with sweat running freely down his forehead, and so Braxus knelt in front of him, and lifted his head up in order to stare directly into his eyes. The Admiral looked at him with fear and confusion, and so Braxus began to speak,

"Admiral, why do you allow for this to continue? The more you refuse to speak, the more she is tortured. This woman loves you, and surely you love her as well. So why, why do you allow for her to be tortured? Your goverment is weak, abandoning you in your greatest time of need, and placing you in this situation. Come now, tell me, for the sake of your mate, and yourself, where is the hidden planet we seek?" asked the Commodore. The Admiral tried to raise a finger, but the straps restrained him from doing so. One SpecNav commando loosened it, but instead of pointing it at the viewport, he used it to grab onto the throat of Commodore Braxus. The SpecNav Commando was quick with his vengance, lashing out and knocking the Admiral in the throat with a back chop. The Admiral released his hold, and his hand was quickly and firmly restrained once again. Braxus rubbed his throat, and spoke one last time for the evening to the Admiral,

"That was a very foolish move, old man. Tomorrow morning we will see how good the woman will stand up to having her belly torn up by a few vibrorazors, eh?" said Commodore Braxus. The Admiral gulped, and with that, Commodore Braxus left the bridge, and headed to his quarters. It was time for him to send another update to Vice Admiral Kraken.
