->''(The ''Executor'' and her accompanying Star Destroyers make their way through the asteroid belt searching for the ''Millennium Falcon''. Despite their sheer size, they are still relatively small compared to the rocks around them. One flies right towards the bridge tower of a ship and POW! It explodes spectacularly. On the bridge of the ''Executor'', Darth Vader is conferring with Captain Lorth Needa and two other commanders through holograms. One of them, the captain of the ship we've just seen get obliterated, sees something wrong and [[DisconnectedByDeath tries to shield himself as his image fades]])''
->'''Captain Lorth Needa:''' -- and that, Lord Vader, was the last time they appeared on any of our scopes. Considering the amount of damage ''we've'' sustained, they ''must'' have been destroyed.
->'''Darth Vader:''' ''No'', Captain. They're ''alive''. I want every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found.

->'''Admiral Firmus Piett:''' Lord Vader!
->'''Vader:''' Yes, Admiral, what is it?
->'''Piett:''' The Emperor commands you to make contact with him.
->'''Vader:''' Move the ship out of the asteroid field so that we can send a clear transmission.
->'''Piett:''' Yes, my Lord!
->''(Vader marches off the bridge as Piett leaves to implement his order, and the Super Star Destroyer soon clears the asteroid field. Deep in his meditation chamber, he goes to one knee on a holographic projector plate, which glows to life. Before him, a massive hologram depicting the head and shoulders of Sheev Palpatine, Emperor of the First Galactic Empire, appears. We now see the man that even ''Lord Vader'' must bow to)''
