"Sir, Yes Sir!" responds General Noonien Khan.

"Carry out your orders, General," Matt says, returning his attention to the ongoing space battle.

"Yes Admiral." says General Khan. "What should we do if he intends to take his own life?"
"My wife and I will make sure that doesn't happen." says Marcus.

"Good enough," the general replies as they walk off the bridge leaving the admiral to monitor the space battle.

Minutes pass as the boarding party begins to take over various decks on Dholen's flagship. But Dholen won't go out with a fight. He slave-rigs the controls of his command ship and sets course for the bridge of Admiral Hunter's SSD.
"Admiral! We have a problem, Dholen's flagship is now on a ramming course with our command tower!" stammers an officer. "Even if we can destroy his vessel, the the wreckage will plow right into us!"
Over the comm system comes an urgent report from Marcus Starkiller.
"Admiral Hunter, I have bad news... General Khan is dead... and Vice Admiral Dholen has locked the controls... collision is imminent. We have captured Dholen though. I'm afraid you and your crew must abandon ship. My fleet will take on survivors. Starkiller, out." says Marcus. "Come on Ivanova, we best escort this Sithspawn to the nearest transport."

"Reinforce bow shields!" Matt roars. In a much calmer tone, "Okay, people, let's move to the auxiliary control center, now."
"Bow and bridge shields reinforced with every spare joule of power I could find, sir," a technician reports as the bridge crew leave the bridge for the ship's AuxCon.
"Good man!" the admiral responds, slapping the tech on the back. "Now let's just hope it blunts the impact."
(OOC: My character's not going to simply abandon something as powerful as an Executor-class SSD. Anyways, since he's forewarned about the attempt to ram, he can set up an attempt to blunt it with the shields, and move to the Auxiliary Control center, something Piett didn't have a chance to do at Endor, in case that doesn't work.)

A small Carrack-class cruiser that is heavily damaged makes the ultimate sacrifice and rams into Dholen's flagship, knocking the battered stardestroyer off course. Dholen's vessels still hits the Warrior, but misses the bridge completely.

Warrior's bridge crew barely have time to settle into AuxCon's copies of their positions before the ship is rocked by the impact, sending them sprawling to the deck.
"Damage Control, report!" Matt calls out over the internal comms.
"We're checking, sir," the Damage Control Officer, a leopardess, and one of the few female officers (or enlisted, for that matter) in the fleet, says from Damage Control Central. "We should have a preliminary report for you in twenty minutes."
OOC: The Imperial Fleet is apparently less than fond of female personnel, with the Stormtrooper Corps being a bit more accepting...
Also, think of this particular female officer as being an equivalent to Yuki Mori (Nova Starflare in Starblazers), with a similar personality.

The report finally comes in. There is a gaping hole in the starboard side of the Warrior's upper hull.

"- so it looks like we'll need to put in to either the builder's yard or another of the big shipyards, such as Sluis Van, for instance, for full repairs," the Damage Control Officer finishes her report. "I cannot offer a timetable for even patching the hull breach, much less getting underway."
"Thank you, Nova," Matt says courteously. "Looks like we're going to need a tow."
OOC: I'm calling this female officer Nova Mori, combining both of Yuki's names. Matt views her as something of a daughter, which is why he calls her by her given name, unless he's pissed at her.

Marcus and Ivanova soon drag Dholen before Admiral Hunter.

Matt is by no means happy to see Dholen. "Just go lock the worthless piece of crap up in a suicide watch cell," he tells them, motioning a trooper to show them the way. "We don't want him getting out of his court date by committing suicide, now do we?"

"Damage Control from AuxCon, status on checkout of main bridge," Matt says into the comm system.
"Everything reads green here in Damage Control Central, but I'm sending a team to take a closer look," Nova replies. "I'll have more information for you regarding the main bridge in half an hour, sir. Also, Engineering reports that they're back online and checking the engines for shock damage from the impact. You should be hearing from them shortly."
"Well, that's good news," Matt says, in somewhat better humor than he had been. "Keep me informed with updates every couple of hours. AuxCon, clear."
"Aye, sir," she replies. "DCC, clear."
OOC: By the way, Vice Admiral Dholen is a domestic pig, while the now-deceased Gen. Noonien Khan was a wild boar.

"Ivanova and I will be returning to the Starkiller's Pride and send over a diplomatic envoy to try Dholen for his crimes. And Admiral Hunter, seeing as he tried to destroy your command, it is only fitting you perform the execution yourself." says Marcus.

"He'll be executed like a common criminal," Matt says. "Killing him by firing squad would give him more respect than he's due thanks to his actions, and there's nowhere aboard ship to hang him like he deserves."
OOC: I don't see any need to go into any detail about how Dholen is dealt with, which is why my character says he'll be dealt with like a common criminal.

Dholen is found guilty and sentenced to death. Admiral Hunter is allowed to chose a form of execution on the planet below.

"Death by hanging," Matt says, after considering the various methods of dealing with Dholen available to him. "It's almost too merciful, but even Dholen deserves to die with some dignity."
"Very well, sir," the judge replies to the admiral. "Dholen has been sentenced to be hung by the neck until dead."
The sentence is quickly carried out and Dholen's remains disposed of in a sanitary manner (a pauper's grave).
