The Colliding of Empires - Part III
From the bridge of the Executor, Admiral Piett watched, how the Lambda-class-shuttle with Lord Vader left the huge shape of the Executor behind and, becoming rapidly smaller in front of the background of space and the stars, moved closer towards the ship of the strangers.
To go aboard of a potentially hostile ship, alone and without bodyguards, not to mention an escort of TIEs, every ordinary, sane officer in the empire would never have dreamed about.
But Vader wasn´t an ordinary officer and if Moff Darkols a bit hysterical report was only true to the half, a fighter-escort wouldn´t be able help the Dark Lord eighter.
If there was one man capable of returning, should the strangers show themself to be hostile, this man was Darth Vader.
And if not,... .
Piett took a deep breath.
Other officers of the fleet would have prayed, that the Sith-Lord would never return, but Piett had served long enough under Vaders command to know, how the honour-code of the man worked.
Vader was severe, more severe than every other superior Piett had met during his career, but he was fair, too.
The Executor wasn´t the best ship in the entire imperial starfleet for nothing.
And the presence of the ship and its master on the battle-field had always secured victory for the empire.

I can't wait till you post more.
I wonder what happens when Perry mets Vader. Perry shouldn't underestimate Vader.

The Colliding of Empires - Part III
Vader was sitting in one of the passenger seats of his shuttle and was watching images of the alien starship in every possible detail.
Under normal circumstances he would have used the time to meditate, to search for hints how to deal with the situation at hand. A Jedi would have searched for guidance through the force, had let himself been lead by the force, but as a Sith Vader wasn´t able to use this way.
It was he, who had the control, the one who deceided the way things had to go, not the force, the force was his servant.
And it was him alone who deceided his destiny.
As always he was on his own.
And so it came to be that Vader wasn´t meditating, but tried not to shift in his seat.
Vader would have never admitted it, but the situation exited him.
Being born in a galaxy-wide society with a history of over 25 millenia, grown up with a technique that had reached its physical limits in most areas, the chances to discover something realy new were very small.
Changes were normally only skin-deep, following the actual fashion or the political and publical needs and preferences.
But soon he would face strangers, beings originating from a totally different enviroment, with a different technique, which had followed totally different paths than that of his own civilization.
A technique that, if the reports of Moff Darkol were true, indicated a superiority of the strangers in weapon- and drivesystems, what should´t be to surprising if the strangers were really capable to travel the vast gaps between the galaxies. Even without the force Vader would have trusted the Moff in this regard, Darkol was a good observer, who didn´t tended to exaggerations.
There were few things left created by intelligent beings capable of impressing Darth Vader, the sizes and scales of the constructs and monuments of humans were insignificant compared to the power connected to the force.
But when Vader now watched the images of the "Dantes Inferno", the technician inside him awoke and suddenly he felt like the small boy, to whom everything in the world had been new and who discovered the world through the innocent eyes of a child.
A boy to whom his mothers embrances made sure that everything would be alright and that the world was beautiful, even if his entire world consisted of the slavequaters of Mos Espa at that time.
How he missed those times.
Vader gritted his teeth behind his mask, the time he had been a child was lost forever, had been part of another life, another mans existance, as well as the knowledge that a motherly embrance would cause everything bad to vanish.
He had grown since then, in knowledge as well as in power, more power then he ever had thought possible and he still hadn´t reached his limits.
The only limits he still had to conquer were the ones he imposed upon himself and those the emperor enforced on him.
Again he viewed the image of the strange ship.
---------------------------------------------
An untrained mind in military matters would have looked at the spherical design with the huge ring-like belt and would have probably said: "How ugly !"
And ugly the ship was. It lacked the deadly beauty of the dagger-like form of a Stardestroyer, the sharp elegance of the huge Executor. The alien ship was simply a huge ball, a sphere, an orb with a belt-like triple-roll around its equator.
But despite that the "Dantes Inferno" was elegant in another way. If a viewer for once forgot that the developers of the ship had forced the principle of utility to the top,
the huge ship Vaders shuttle was moving towards to was a masterpiece of ship-building.
Vader mused about everything alone the sight of the ship had told him about the abilities of the "Dantes Inferno".
First of all, an attacker would have to face always the half of all weapons. And because the thrusters of the sub-light-drive were placed in the main-roll, there were no dead angles a smart enemy could use to his advantage.
Obviously the beam of a thruster could be directed foreward, backward and to the side, what would lead to an incredible high manouverability, as well as high acceler- and decceleration.
Furthermore the internal stability would be superiour than that on every imperial ship. In this matter the spherical shape was perfect. Vader didn´t doubt that the ship in the inside consisted from the outer hull to the centre of armoured layer up on armoured layer, that supported each other.
Then Vader concentrated on the big ring-roll in the middle. The single thrusters were placed in an angle of 14,4 degrees, what meant a whole number of 25 thrusters, which beams could be directed through openings in the roll foreward, backward and to the side.
In the areas between the thrusters huge squares were recognizable, 120 metres high and 140 metres wide, where the Sith-Lord suspected that they were doors to some hangars (with that he was right, those hangars housed the fifty 100-metre-cruiser of the Titan-class carried by the "Dantes Inferno"). Smaller hangars of the same kind were placed in the smaller roll below (for the hundred 60-metre-corvettes) and even smaller ones, in much higher numbers in the top roll (for starfighters and smaller boats).
Vader was impressed.
The existence of a huge number of smaller hangars (of which the biggest ones were still as big as the main hangar-bay of a Stardestroyer) increased with no doubt the stability and decreased the vulnerability of the entire ship. And to place the transported ships in the rolls saved needed place inside the main body.
A simple solution as well as an elegant one.
"One minute until docking", reported in this moment the pilot of the shuttle.
Vader looked up.
In front of them one of the hangar-gates in the roll below had opened and his pilot looked worried upwards, where the huge thrusters were located.
If the alien commander deceided to start his engines now, Vader and the shuttle would cease to exist.
Then a tractor-beam cought the shuttle and pulled it inside the hangar.

The Colliding of Empires - Part III
John Marshall watched as the shuttle of their visitor was put to the floor of the hangar by the "Dantes Inferno"s tractor beams.
The hangar-master of this hangar had worked with perfect precision. To Johns left and to his right were in each case ten soldiers positioned, fully clad in battlesuits, with their weapons raised. Normaly the SolarFleet and especially Perry Rhodan tried to renounce to use such primitive methods of impressing and intimidating, but since their expected guest was a human with a military background, who typically liked such kind of parades ... .
A shadow covered the light and the australian leader of the Mutant-Corps turned to the tall figure of Takor Kasom, who had just arrived from the commandcentre.
"Major", Marshall nodded polite.
"Hello, Mister Marshall", greeted the Ertuser with a grin. "Everything ready to greet our new friend ?" He pointed at the assembled soldiers.
"As ready as possible", stated Marshall. "Although i´m not sure if it will be enough."
The USO-Specialist looked at the telepath with a questioning look. "Explain.", he ordered.
The mutant shook his shoulders. "I can´t. Ever since Gucky told me he sensed that something about this galaxy feels strange, i searched for it myself."
Kasom wasn´t sure if he understood. "And", he asked.
"And the feeling has suddenly increased", answerd Marshall. "Dramaticly."
Kasoms eyes narrowed suspiciously. "You think it has something to do with our visitor ?"
Marshalls face had become grim. "I just don´t think so, i know. This Lord Vader could be a dangerous foe."
"Or a powerful ally", stated Kasom. "We´ll see what kind of man he is." he nodded towards the landed shuttle, where now a ramp lowered itself to the floor.
---------------------------------------------
Sitting on the couch in the command-centre of the "Dantes Inferno", the mousebeaver Gucky rolled his eyes.
"My God, the nonsence John sometimes thinks."
Atlan and Perry Rhodan turned towards the Ilt, questions in their eyes.
"What is it, Gucky ?", asked Rhodan the little being.
"This Lord Vader has just left his shuttle and John is thinking about comics from Bob Kane and novels from a guy called Sir Walter Scott, all of them dealing with Black Knights. This Vader has to be an aweinspiring sight if John is that impressed. After all he has seen a lot of things during the last sixhundred years."
"We all have", stated Rhodan, "but that doesn´t makes us resistent against surprises. The nature of the unknown is, that you know nothing about it."
"Haha, very funny", commented Gucky.
"In every case, we know now that we will be talking to the right person and not some unimportant underling", added Atlan.
"And this means, that we have to be very careful", concluded Rhodan. "First meetings with the representives of a new civilization are always difficult and a being, that has managed it to the top in a society of the size we believe we are dealing with, isn´t to underestimate."
"And you are curious, what has impressed the good John that much, that he thinks about invincible knights from the tales of his childhood." mused Atlan with a grin.
Rhodan raised an eyebrow. "Invincible ? As far as i remember John was referring to Black Knights."
Atlan snorted. "What has happened to your education ? Black Knights were the embodiement of invincibility in those tales."
"And as you said yourself, they are just tales. But i openly admit, that i am curious."

A Black Knight, not far away from the truth. Is John Marshall able to sense anything from Vader? I don't think Vader likes parades very much.
Just in case you ask, yes, I want more!

The Colliding of Empires - Part III
Vader walked down the ramp of his shuttle into the huge hangar.
To the right and to the left soldiers were posted and the Dark Lord watched their appaerance. Black armoured boots and gloves. A uniform of darkblue colour covering the entire body.
About those combinations the soldiers were wearing armour to protect the uppertorso, broad belts and helmets with huge see-through visors and packs on their backs.
The entire combination looked like a heavily upgraded spacesuit for combat-purposes.
Then Darth Vader concentrated on the two men that had come to welcome him. The first seemed to be an ordinary human, although handsome. Tall, with broad shoulders,
blue eyes and black hair. To his great surprise the force felt different around this man. More concentrated, denser, there was no way to express it right. The concentration
of force-waves was at its top on a point on the chest of the man, above the heart. What Vader didn´t knew was , that he had sensed the cellfrequency-activator of John Marshall,
a device that had keept the man alive for the last sixhundred years.
And then there was something else special about this man. Then Vader concentrated on his companion.
If Vader had been anybody else then the being that he was, the first sight of an ertruser would have scared him. Taller than a Wookiee and much more massive than any of those
forrest-people could ever hope to be. A redbrown, square face, the entire skull shaved bald with with exeption of a broad stripe of spicky goldblond hair.
Contrary to the other people in the hangar the uniform of this man was black and showed different insignia. Vader had met enough man like this giant, to recognize a highly trained
military.
Reaching out with the force, he discovered to his surprise that he couldn´t read the minds of both of them, while he had no problems sensing the minds of the other soldiers.
And then he felt somebody carefully trying to invade his mind.
--------------------------------------------
John Marshall tried hard not to show the sudden attack of awe, when the man who called himself Vader had left his shuttle. A tall, massivly buildt humanoid, clad entirely in black, face hidden behind a skull-like mask,
the fearinspiring sound of mechanical breathing, this Vader seemed to be some kind of monster that had left his cave. The telepath had encountered lots of dangerous liveforms, from reptilian topsiders, insectoid druufs,
dreadworms, dolans and the berserker-like cousins of the haluter, the Uleb. Those live-forms had been dangerous and aweinspiring for their physical characteristics, even if some of them hadn´t been enemies to the
SolarEmpire.
But Vader, although a human, seemed to be more dangerous, than every other human John had met so far. There was something about him the mutant wasn´t able to describe, an aura of power, of darkness. A dark god of war and death.
John Marshall remembered the tales of Black Knights in the middle ages at the sight of their visitor.
Getting his composure back, he tried to scan the mind of the man.
----------------------------------------------
A telepath !
Vader smiled under his mask. The smaller of the two men was a telepath. And he was good. A less experienced man than Vader wouldn´t have recognized it at all.
Concentrating on the force he blocked the probing touches of the telepath and sended an impuls of pain back. This trick had proved to be very useful, when he had hunted and fought the Jedi-Knights. It had always proved to be distraction
enough to allow him to kill them. The sudden expression of pain and disbelief on their faces before the killing blow, because of that trick had been one of the rare pleasures he had had during that period of time.
In the mans cheek twitched a muscle, when the pain hit him, but that was it.
Vader was impressed. Only very strong minds were able to bear that kind of pain. This man was obviously not one of those weak, mental instable human telepaths he had learnt to expect the most of them to be.
The man showed a grim smile.
Good ! So they both knew what they had to expect from each other.
As if the incident had never happened, the man stepped foreward.
-------------------------------------------------
"Greetings, Lord Vader. I´m John Marshall, this is Takor Kasom." John Marshall had hard to concentrate, otherwise he would perhaps met the floor of the hangar face first. But he wouldn´t allow the man that victory.
"I´m here to met Perry Rhodan", stated Lord Vader.
So he was willing to forget what had happened, thought Marshall with relief. Of course he already had his revenge.
"He is expecting you.", straight to the point.
Rhodan and especially Atlan will like this guy", thought the telepath. "Please follow me."
--------------------------------------------------
"Oh, oh", murmered Gucky.
"What is it ?", asked Rhodan concerned.
"John tried to get an impression from the mind of our new friend and the response was a bit harsh."
"So this Vader is a telepath", mused Atlan.
"Kind of."
"Lets hope we didn´t insulted him to leave. I don´t want a misunderstanding to cause hostilities", said Rhodan.
"Don´t be afraid of that, Perry." The mousebeaver rubbed his head. "As his Majesty Roi Danton would have expressed it
Lord Vader has already gotten "Satisfaction"." Again the Ilt rubbed his head. "Poor John will suffer from headache for some time. It was very painful."
The mousebeaver had observed the inciddent in the hangar of course and felt the pain of his friend, too.
"This Vader isn´t the most gentle kind of man, if i understand you correct", made Atlan clear.
Gucky glared at the tenthousand year old Arkonide. "Thats what i wanted to tell you the entire time. The two of you should understand each other perfectly,
unsensitive how you are, Atlan."
"Thank you", shot Atlan back.
"Enough", stopped Rhodan the bickering between the two old friends. "When this Lord Vader arrives i want to present him a unified front. Gucky, i know how much you want to play with your abilities and neighter Atlan nor me are mad at you for doing it if it isn´t necessary."
"Yes, yes. But you and Atlan normaly are only blocking my probing, you don´t send waves of pain like this Vader did to John."
"Alright, alright. I already said that our visitor doesn´t seem to be the most gentle man in the universe."
"Yes and he and his escorts will be here any moment", stated Rhodan, nodding to one of the entrances of the command-centre.

The Colliding of Empires - Part III
Lead by John Marshall and followed by the gigantic figure of Takor Kasom, Darth Vader headed for the command-centre of the "Dantes Inferno".
From the hangar they stepped in a large corridor directed to the centre of the huge sphere. To Vaders great surprise the floor under them started to move, with fast increasing speed.
Taking a careful look the Sith-Lord registered the broad walkways left and right to the moving part of the floor, as well as more narrow corridors crossing with this wide one and the huge number of doors, which undoubtly lead to various rooms.
Thanks to the sensors inside his mask he was able to discover a number of hidden doors and hatches distributed along the walls.
Darth Vader could only guess what was
behind them, but he was sure they hid some
nasty surprises for possible boarding parties.
Aboard imperial starships such surprises normaly consisted of destroyer-droids and AT-PT-Walkers.
Then the speed of the moving band slowed down and came to a halt inside a hall with a large number of big tubulars. John Marshall stepped through an opening in one of the tubulars and seemed suddenly to stand in the thin air.
"An antigrav-lift", explained Marshall, who had turned around. "There are actually two fields of gravity. One pulls you upwards, the other lows you down slower than normal gravity."
Vader took his time and put only his head through the opening in the tubular and looked down the near endless shaft.
"And if the energy for the antigravity-fields ceases to exist ?", he asked.
"Then hope you are outside or catch the ladder", answered Kasom with a malicous grin.
Vader decided to ignore the ertruser and stepped inside the shaft. Taking a grip inside he pushed himself upwards copying the movements he had observed done by Marshall. Kasom followed close by.
During the short trip Vader considered grateful, that he had come alone aboard. The ordinary imperial officers would have probably peed their pants, before they would have gotten used to the idea of moving only in an antigravity-field without some solid ground under their feet.
Then another thought hit him. The gravity on the entire ship was lower than what he was used, perhaps a quater if not a third.
No wonder most of these strangers he had seen so far were above six feet and beyond that tall.
As Marshall left the tubular, Vaders sence of orientation told him, that they had reached the command-centre. If he was right, the command-centre of the "Dantes Inferno" was directly located in the centre of the ship at the most protected place, another plus-point compared to the most imperial ships with their huge and easy to hit conning towers.
Folling the telepath Darth Vader entered the command-room of the "Dantes Inferno", where he was going to meet Perry Rhodan.
-------------------------------
Turning his head from the dark clad giant with the mask-like helmet to Atlan, Rhodan tried hard to surpress to burst out with laughter. The only sign of his amusement were the twitching muscels in his cheeks.
Gucky hadn´t that much self-composure and pressed both of his small hands over his mouth to hinder himself to start hysterically to laugh, while he shifted on the couch. The huge eyes of the small being seemed to popp out of their holes, when they saw Vader. The rest of the crew inside the huge command-room tried hard not to grin.
The reason for this was the following:
Atlan had left only minutes before, muttering something about first impressions and fitting outfits. When he returned through the entrance that lead to the quaters of the officers of the ship, next to the command-room he was wearing the old uniform-battlesuit-combination from the time, when he was still the heir to the ArkonEmpire and an Admiral of its fleet.
This tenthousand years old piece of chlothing consisted of a black bodysuit with metal armor for the upper torso, the upper arms and protective knee-pieces. To underline Atlans position in the old nobility of Arkon a cloak of a darkred colour was added to the uniform.
So it came to be that two nearly identical figures walked towards Perry Rhodan from opposite directions: Vader from the central Antigrav-lift, Atlan from one of the side-entrances, both clad in black, both wearing armor, both with a cloak swirling behind them.
The only differences were that Vaders cloak was black and the one of Atlan darkred, like dried blood. And of course the intimidating mask and Vaders mechanical breathing, although the Arkonide with his red eyes and silverwhite mane of hair was an inpressive sight, too.
------------------------------
Vader stepped calmly through the huge command-centre, after getting his exitement under control.
In the world he lived the standards were set by the empire and imperial technology, but aboard this ship those were topped.
The room was huge, a half-sphere with a diameter of 120 metres, bigger in volume than a Corellian Corvette. The huge cavern was devided in different sections with floors in different heights, walkways and pits.
It was easy to figure them out as being sections for communications, sensors, weapons, navigation and so on. As much as he was tempted to gawk in awe, as much as he was tempted to figure out the ways things worked aboard this ship, he forced himself to concentrate on the matters at hand.
He had to find out who those strangers were, where they came from, with what intentions, if they were a danger or if their presence offered new opportunities.
Vader hoped for the last, remembering the report of Mowet Darkol and his own conclusions about the abilities of the ship.
Moving towards the centre of the room, where a large conference-table was placed, he saw a number of beings assembled, most of them humanoid, but some of them totally alien.
Already the sight of Takor Kasom towering over the Sith-Lord would have been a degradation to Vader in the eyes of the most imperial officers (thanks to the widespread xenophobia causing tall aliens like wookiees and others not counting as sentinent beings), but even the tall ertruser was dwarfed by the alien creature, that was later introduced as Icho Tolot.
Despite the awesome exterior of the haluter Vader didn´t slowed down in his steps, but viewed the other people assembled.
Next to the black giant from halut the total opposite in size was sitting, a furcovered being with big round ears, a pointed snout and a long, bushy tail. If not for the clothing and the intelligent look in the big brown eyes of the being, Vader would have thought it to be an animal.
The next two persons were more or less ordinary humans. One of them clad in the same uniform as everybody else, but with an extreme physicaly buildt body, being as wide in the shoulders as high and looking like a tank on legs, the other tall, fat, with blue-veined, sagging cheeks, a bald head and intense looking, piercing, small eyes.
This man was similiar to Marshall the different way the force was concentrated around him.
Vader needed only seconds for this observation and concentrated now on the two persons left, immediatly identifying them as the most important of the strangers.
Both were nearly as tall as he without his helmet, one of them wearing similiar clothing than him, tanned skin, red, albino eyes and a mane of siverwhite hair. For a short moment Vader felt like looking into a mirror. If the hair would have been sandblond and the eyes blue ... .
The other one seemed to be more ordinary, with shortcutted brown-blond hair, the lean figure and the darkblue uniform, but than Vader looked into the haggard face and the grey eyes of the man and he changed his already forming opinion.
The cold, calculation look of the eyes in the calm face, unreadable to everybody remembered Vader somehow of a younger version of Palpatine.
Palpatine of all people !
The look of the man seemed to watch him from head to toe and seemed to be able to pierce through every fiber of Vaders being.
Then the look changed, the intense grey eyes showed signs of sympathy, becoming warm and friendly and a smile showed on the lips of the tall man. Stunned Vader resisted the urge to take a step back.
Where he had looked at Palpatine only moments before, he now felt remembered to Qui-Gonn Jinn.
And about something else Vader became aware of: Neighter this man nor the other with the silverblond hair were the simple leaders of a long-exploration journey.
They had to be leading people, where they originated.
He stepped foreward. "I´m Lord Darth Vader of the Galactic Empire. Welcome in our galaxy, strangers !"
Rhodan nodded. "Welcome aboard the "Dantes Inferno" on behalf of the SolarEmpire, Lord Vader. Please take a seat, there is much we have to discuss."

The Colliding of Empires - Interlude
Unnoticed from everybody the events happening aboard the "Dantes Inferno" were observed by two beings.
"Hmmmm", explained the first of them. "You scared those Vader a little, it seems. But comparing Rhodan with this Palpatine you told me about ... ."
"According to what you told me about him, he has quite the potential.", answered the second being.
"Yes, but its the purpose those powers are used for."
"Don´t tell me you have feelings for those mortal ants."
"I can´t help it, i´ve observed their lives for millenia, their struggles and challenges, their growth and deaths."
"I did the same. But we can´t intervene in their pathetic struggles, even if billions suffer and loose their lives. We can only
gave small pushes into the direction we want."
"Ohh, but we can do more", protested the first of the two beings.
"Don´t dare to do something in favour of your champion", warned the second being. "You are only a guest in my territory and you will not intervene with my plans."
"As if it will be necessary", stated the first being with confidence. "Rhodan eats guys like Vader and Palpatine for breakfeast."
"Neighter you nor he shouldn´t underestimate Vader", warned the second being.
"Why should Rhodan underestimate him ? And considering our plans, they should be on the same side."
"Oh, they will, they will", chuckled the second being.
"Hmmmpppfffffff", grunted the first being. "Its now over thirtythousand years that you showed them the ways of the force, but only few of them have matured enough to master their own destiny. To really see the greatness of the universe, to lead and guide the others on the right road. And always their little problems and ambitions have set you back. Not to mention how complacent they became in the last centuries."
"And because of that i brought Vader and Palpatine together."
"How nice from you."
"It was necessary. I´m not that ambitous than you, my dear friend", answered the other being calm. "I don´t think it is necessary to equipt a small number of mortals with eternal live to rule all the others in our sence, who become old and die. Thats not the way nature should work."
"Ohh, but it worked. It works perfect."
"For the last sixhundred years. And you had to wait twentythousand years till somebody solved your little riddle with eternal live as price."
"Doesn´t matter. In this time the terrans made more progresses than the entire Old Republic", protested the first being.
"You are still young for one of our kind", explained the second being patiently. "May i remind you that your first try, when you gave the secret of eternal live to the "Masters of the Island", the result was a terror-regime that influenced the destiny of two galaxies for twentythousand years, until they were defeated by your Rhodan."
"I know, i know. It was because of this i invented the "Galactic Enigma". To prevent the wrong ones from getting the secret of eternal live. Not even our kind is immune to mistakes."
"You are right, my friend. And because of this it is better not to intervene directly, but to give small hints and pushes for developments in the right direction.
But lets take a look, what happens now."

Who are these two beings?
"And considering our plans, they should be on the same side." - I somehow hoped they would be on the same side.
