It was wrong.
The Rebel armada had exploited a weakness in the Bestine sensors, discovered by intelligence stolen by the defective Ubiqtorate agents. The rebels were already attacking before planetary shields could be raised. As the Rebel and Imperial naval forces engaged each other, several shuttles rained onto the planet below. Land-to-air defense systems managed to take out some shuttles, but not all. One surviving shuttles entered the construction area for the Star Destroyer Ruthless. The Star Destroyer was nearing completion, already assigned to become the flagship for Aurek Company. However, issues with one of the engines had proved problematic and eventually the engine was removed so it could be reworked. It was in that hangar that hosted the Stormtrooper Byrec. Byrec was one of three Stormtroopers assigned to Bestine to oversee the final completion of the Ruthless and deliver it to Anaxes so that Aurek Company could take command of the starship. However, with the rebel offensive against the Bestine shipyards, Byrec had a new task: defending Ruthless and its host shipyard. A Whequay had been the first to arrive in the vast construction bay littered with cranes, crates, and disassembled pieces of the Star Destroyer engine. That Rebel operative had been the first casualty. A second rebel was about to arrive, and it would take the Rebel's skill, cunning, and luck to avoid a similar fate.
