The Getaway
-----------------------------------------
As Ian Drac'qual dashed down the corridor of the Centuri starship Jackal with the stolen energy module, loudspeakers blared: "Attention all combat teams! Repel boarders immediately!" He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and formulate a plan. "K'jai, you go down and hack their computers to shut down the ship guns, tractor beams and star fighter tracking system. I'm going to, ah, divert the Centuri. Pick me up at the coordinates I'll send you, I'll be borrowing one of their fighters. The rest of you, try to distract a few more troopers then make for the shuttle, and don't forget K'jai." His crew of pirates nodded and trotted off. Ian continued to race down the metal corridors until a door opened into a wide hangar. He bolted for the nearest fighter, and seeing an angry-looking pilot running in his direction, promptly sealed the cockpit and began takeoff maneuvers. Just then the hangar doors slid open again and a squad of Centuri troopers burst through the door. One appeared to be a heavy gunner, and brilliant flashes flared from the muzzle of his large machine gun. A few shots scored the hull of the little fighter, but the troopers were still a good distance away. The engines whined and the small craft lifted off from the hangar floor. "Seal the energy-field!" The captain of the troopers bellowed into his radio. In response, the luminous red forcefield sealing the large opening into outer space flickered and disappeared. One floor of the cruiser below, the pirate Ka'jai chuckled as he typed furiously into a glowing monitor. But the ship crew was not hindered by the open link to Outer Space, and, held in place by the gravity generators, continued fire on the hijacked fighter. It was too late. Ian's commandeered ride shot out of the hangar bay into the inky depths of Outer Space.

Seems I don't write Sci-Fi quite as well as medieval. Anyway, this is my entry to Nova League's Faction Challenge 1 for the Struggle for Klegon on Galactic-Bricks forum.
