               Star Wars: Broken Allegiance

               After the destruction of the Death Star at Yavin, the 
               Emperor orders Darth Vader to find the pilot responsible 
               by any means necessary. To assist in his goal, Vader has 
               trained two apprentices in the powerful ways of the Sith.

               Having spent more than a year honing their skills and 
               versing themselves in Dark Jedi lore, the pair have become 
               disillusioned with their role in the Emperor’s grand scheme.

               Fleeing Coruscant in a stolen transport, they are attempting 
               to escape Vader and gain their freedom from the tyranny of 
               the Empire...

           2   EXT. SPACE - ORBIT OVER CORUSCANT                              2   

               An Assault transport blasts away from Coruscant's 
               atmosphere, being pursued by a Super Star Destroyer. Its 
               turbolasers firing a barrage of laser fire at the ATR. A 
               small explosion erupts at the rear of the transport.

           3   INT. COCKPIT OF ASSAULT TRANSPORT                              3   

               At the helm of the transport are two apprentice Sith, a 
               male, Ruan, and female, Calis. They are both dressed in 
               black sith robes and working furiously at the controls of 
               their ship.   

                                     RUAN
                         Reroute all power to rear deflector 
                         shields. We have to hold them off 
                         till we can make the jump to 
                         lightspeed. 

                                     CALIS
                         I knew we should have stolen a 
                         faster ship!

                                     RUAN
                         Calis, plot us a course out of 
                         here!

                                     CALIS
                         Sending co-ordinates to navi 
                         computer now.

               A laser blast rocks the ship.

                                     CALIS (CONT'D)
                         Ruan! We’re losing power. Aft 
                         shields are weakening.

               A bleep from the comm system indicates an incoming hail.

               More laser blasts hit the assault transport. Camera tracks 
               from ATR to the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer.

           5   INT. ON BRIDGE OF SUPER STAR DESTROYER                         5   

               ADMIRAL OKINS stands on the bridge near a window looking 
               out to space. Near him, his second in command, CAPTAIN 
               HANNARD, a COMM OFFICER and TRACTOR BEAM OFFICER are at 
               control consoles.

                                     COMM OFFICER
                         Sir they aren’t responding to our 
                         hail.

                                     ADMIRAL OKINS
                         That is of little concern. They 
                         can’t escape us. Get a tractor 
                         lock as soon as they are in range.

                                     COMM OFFICER
                         Admiral, Lord Vader demands to 
                         speak to you immediately.

               Admiral turns around and faces the holographic image of 
               Vader which appears.

                                     ADMIRAL OKINS
                         My lord.

                                     DARTH VADER
                         I want that transport Admiral. 

                                     ADMIRAL OKINS
                         Yes my lord, we will have them 
                         within moments.

                                     DARTH VADER
                         Don’t disappoint me Admiral. I 
                         expect you will have them by the 
                         time I arrive.

                                     ADMIRAL OKINS

               The hologram of Vader fizzles off.

           6   INT. CORUSCANT HANGAR BAY -- MOMENTS LATER                     6   

               Vader stands in the hangar bay where Ruan and Calis stole 
               the transport from.  There are many dead bodies of Imperial 
               officers and Stormtroopers around. It looks like the 
               apprentices have used any means neseccary to escape. There 
               is an Imperial shuttle nearby with its hatch open.

                                     DARTH VADER
                              (surveying the 
                              carnage)
                         My students have learnt well...

               Vader strides towards the shuttle.

                                                                WIPE TO:

               The ATR flys past camera under fire from the SSD which is 
               in pursuit.

               The assault transport is now shaking more evidently.

                                     RUAN
                         One minute till we jump. What's 
                         our status?

               A powerful blast knocks the ship and alarms ring out. An 
               explosion sprays from one of the consoles in the cockpit.

                                     CALIS
                         We’ve lost main deflector shields, 
                         sublight engines are failing, life 
                         support's been damaged and we are 
                         leaking coolant from the hyperdrive. 
                         Furthest we are going to get is 
                         the Bothawi system.

                         Anywhere is better than here.

               Ruan swerves controls sharply.

               Transport ship does huge dive and avoids a barrage of

                         evasive action. I've got an idea.  
                         Override the acceleration 
                         compensator: full power.  Bypass 
                         the safeties if you have to.  Then

                         My lord, the fugitives managed to

               Vader initiates force choke on Admiral Okins, closing off

                         Failure was not an option, Admiral

               Admiral Okins collapses to the ground, dead. Two 
               Stormtroopers enter to drag off his lifeless body. The

                         of the consequences of such a

                         My Lord, we have done a heading 
                         extrapolation of their hyper-drive 
                         trail.  From the damage they 
                         sustained they couldn’t have jumped 
                         more than once. Their trajectory 
                         would suggest the Bothawi system. 
                         Shall I set a pursuit course?

               Thor is looking on screen as data from the SSD is sent to

               Ruan and Calis' ATR floats stationary in space. Far away 
               in the distance a planet can be seen. The hull of the ship 
               has taken quite a beating and there are numerous battle 
               scars on the hull.  There is some smoke or gas venting 
               from one of the engines and small electrical arcing and 
               fritzing occasionally is seen on various parts of the hull.

               Catching their breath from their previous encounter, Ruan 
               and Calis look relieved to have gotten out of there in 
               once piece, and finally get a moment to relax, even thought 
               the tension is still quite high.

               Thor's ship starts to fire lasers at the ATR, small

               Thor's ship touches down on the planet surface not that 
               far from the wrecked pod.  He notices a spent stimpack and 
               a few drops of blood, pulls out a hand-held scanning device 
               and takes life-sign readings.  He then moves off in search.

               Calis and Ruan have been walking for some time and having 
               come to a stream they have stopped to take a drink.

                                     RUAN
                         There's a settlement on the other 
                         side of those hills. It shouldn't 
                         be long before we're there.

                                     CALIS
                         My head is feeling a little better.  
                         That stimpack really helped.

               Calis bends down by the river to take a drink and wash the 
               blood from her head.  Suddenly inches from her head several 
               laser blasts hit the water.  She does an evasive roll just 
               as Ruan lights his saber and blocks several more blasts 
               aimed at Calis. 

               Korbain Thor is standing further up the river bank on a 
               rock looking menacing, blaster in hand. By now Calis is 
               standing upright and her saber is also lit.  Ruan and Calis 
               stand, sabers lit preparing for an oncoming duel.

                                     THOR
                         You think you can run forever?  
                         Vader doesn't take betrayal lightly. 
                         He wants you dead and it will soon 
                         be my pleasure to execute that 
                         request.

                         What makes you think you can take 
                         us out? 

               Thor turns his blaster from horizontal to vertical and a 
               saber beam emits from the end.

               His weapon doubles as both a blaster and saber.

                         Time to see how good a teacher 
                         Vader is...

               A lightsaber battle ensues with Ruan and Calis fighting 
               Thor in saber combat.

                                     THOR (CONT'D)
                         It was a big mistake fleeing from 
                         Vader. You could have learned much.

                                     CALIS
                         We learnt enough.

               The battle continues. Thor is doing very well in this two-
               against-one situation. Thor uses force push to thrust Calis 
               away so he can turn his attention to Ruan. Thor comes in 
               close and locks blades with him. 

                                     RUAN
                         You fight like a Bothan.

               Thor delivers a viscious blow to Ruans head with his elbow 
               and Ruan momentarily dazed.

                                     CALIS
                         Vader must really be desperate 
                         hiring the likes of you. What's 
                         the matter? Couldn't he afford 
                         Boba Fett?

               Thor charges the two and dive-rolls over their sabers. 
               Battle continues and Ruan is kicked down a slope by Thor. 

                                     THOR
                         It's your fault the boy will die. 
                         You should have come quietly.

                                     CALIS
                         We'd rather die than serve Vader 
                         again.

                                     THOR
                         So be it. 

               One-on-one Calis takes on Korbain with a variety of fancy 
               saber moves.

                                     THOR (CONT'D)
                         I sense why you are so important 
                         to Vader. It will make watching 
                         you die even more satisfying.

               Calis crys out in hatred and attacks Thor with vigor. She 
               is certainly doing well against the bounty hunter.  Calis 
               manages to throw Thor to the ground who rolls away.

               Calis comes in for a killing blow just as Thor converts 
               his weapon to blaster-mode and fires.  The bolt hits Calis 
               in the upper-torso, who is flung back into a tree and slumps 
               to the ground.

               Ruan has made it back up the slope from where he was kicked  
               just in time to see Calis shot.  He drops his saber in 
               shock and screams.

                         Noooooo!!!!!

               In a fit of grief and rage Ruan uses force lightning for 
               the first time.  Thor is hit from the back and twists around 
               in pain. Lightning is dancing all over him and he drops 
               his  lightsaber.  Thor reaches around in agony and throws 
               an explosive star device from his belt. It misses and 
               punches into a tree.

               Star explodes and Ruan is thrown to one side, coughing and 
               disoriented.

                         The force is merely a tool, boy.
                         I won’t need it to finish you. If 
                         you lived longer you might have 
                         learnt that lesson.

               Ruan sweeps Thor’s legs out from under him and makes a 
               grab for his lightsaber. Thor gets up and tackles him to 
               the ground. Thor head-butts Ruan, Ruan comes back with an 
               elbow and throws Thor off, judo style. Series of hand to 
               hand fighting, many punches/kicks. Ruan throws a left front 
               kick, which is grabbed by Thor. Ruan turns this into a 
               jumping roundhouse right kick. Both fall to the ground and 
               get up slowly. Ruan rushes in and kicks/knees Thor in the 
               gonads with the last of his failing strength. Thor bends 
               but stands straight back up.

                                     THOR (CONT'D)
                         Wrong species.

               Thor grabs Ruan by the throat and thrusts him against a 
               tree.

                                     THOR (CONT'D)
                         I tire of this sport. Time to finish 
                         you and claim my credits.

               Thor draws his light dagger from his boot and holds it 
               near Ruan's throat.  Suddenly Calis apprears holding Thors 
               blaster, which he dropped earlier while being struck with 
               force lightning, holds it to his lower back and fires. 

                                     CALIS
                         No bounty for you.

               Calis fires and Thor slumps lifeless to the ground. A faint 
               rumble can be heard.  Tilt up to reveal a Super Star 
               Destroyer coming into orbit of the planet.

                                     CALIS (CONT'D)
                         Now we're in trouble.

               Ruan looks down at the body of Thor.

               Thor(Ruan) moves into shot, holding Calis who is in binders.

                                     RUAN/THOR
                         It is done.

                         Where's the other one?

                         I had to kill him. I trust you 
                         brought my money?

               Trooper goes to hand Thor the case.  

                                     LIEUTENANT DETAAN
                         Wait a minute.

               They freeze.

                                     LIEUTENANT DETAAN (CONT'D)
                         Take off that helmet. Show me your 
                         face.

                                     RUAN/THOR
                         Why?

               The squad of troopers all aim their blasters at Ruan/Thor. 

               Ruan tentitavely removes Thors helmet. A very tense moment. 
               Calis looks worried.

                                     LIEUTENANT DETAAN
                         Finally, to see the legendary 
                         Korbain Thor face to face. Its an 
                         honour.

               Ruan plays it up in his guise as Thor. The Lieutenant 
               gestures to the Trooper who hands Ruan the case of bounty 
               money.  Calis is now in the custody of the troopers.

                         I am sure Lord Vader will be very 
                         eager to see you again my dear. 

                                     CALIS
                         Well the feeling's not mutual.

                                     LIEUTENANT
                         I hear he has special plans for 
                         you.

                                     CALIS
                         And we have plans for you. 

               In one fast move Calis' binders fly off. She force pulls 
               her saber from Thor's belt.

               She ignites it and sabers the two Stormtroopers. One gets 
               a shot off before he is struck but Calis deflects it.  
               Ruan blasts a couple.  Lieutenant Detaan is looking shocked 
               and stunned at what has happened. He is the only one alive 
               all the troopers are dead.  Ruan puts his gun to the
