Galactic Empire in New World

Part 8 Chapter 5

Above Terminus Island
Approaching Jakarta

Moff Trevat and Governor Ira were on a shuttle that brought them from the star destroyer 'Myto' back to Jakarta. Immediately after their arrival on Elysia, the damaged starships were immediately sent to the dry docks in Elysia's high orbit for further repairs. Trevat had ordered that the entire Myto Empire was in a state of war, and therefore repairs to the damaged starships would be carried out as soon as possible.

Currently, Trevat and Ira are heading to Jakarta by shuttle from the star destroyer 'Myto'. They were approaching the Jakarta spaceport 'Kemayoran', which was on the outskirts of Jakarta.

The two people were silent during the trip, thinking about the aftermath of the recent battle and how the Myto Empire should react. There was only the soft rumble of the shuttle engines.
Trevat was quite shaken after experiencing his first battle. When he was about to make the hyperspace jump to the battlefield, all he felt was exhilaration—the adrenaline rush of facing the battle. In his head, he envisioned the scene from Star Wars 'Empire Strike Back' where Darth Vader's death squadron ships prepare to jump to Hoth, complete with the Imperial March in the background. The sadness of losing so many people took the place of the adrenaline rush as the battle went on and casualties started to pile up. It shook his heart to the core.

Trevat, sitting on the window ledge, looked out at the city of Jakarta stretching out below them. The time of the landing was approaching dusk, giving a beautiful reddish hue to the entire city below them. The lights began to glow while the sky was still reddish.

Suddenly, Trevat's tears fell because he remembered his hometown, Jakarta, on earth. Trevat was really home sick, wanting to return to earth and return to work at his company. Especially after he went through the battle earlier, which was his first battle as Trevat. The battle really shook his heart, even though he remembered that he (Trevat) had been through many battles. When Trevat looked at the city below, all he could see was Jakarta on earth, not Jakarta on Terminus Island. It was as if he was looking at Monas when he saw the Central Government Building. The streets leading to the Central Government Building, which were full of vehicles, felt like General Sudirman Street in Jakarta on earth.

In Trevat's mind rang an old song that he often heard in his childhood:

Di sana rumahku

Dalam kabut biru

Hatiku sedih

Di hari minggu

Di sana kasihku

Berdiri menunggu

Di batas waktu

Yang telah tertentu

Ke jakarta aku kan kembali

Walaupun apa yang kan terjadi

Ke jakarta aku kan kembali

Walaupun apa yang kan terjadi

Pernah kualami

Hidupku sendiri

Temanku pergi

Dan menjauhi

Lama kumenanti

Ku harus mencari

Atau ku tiada

Dikenal lagi
