Starship stranded

The Starship was just 50m away from docking to the DeathStar when there is a hydraulic failure. So the Captain of the Starship shut it down and float back to the DeathStar leaving the Starship stranded in outer space. Looks like it will be too much a risk to dock the broken down Starship back to DeathStar for fear of jolting the lunch filled stomach of the VIPs to vomitation onboard even if its just a 50m or 30 secs flight away.

Now a Starship stranded in outer space with no Starship pilots willing to call the shot attempt docking it back to the DeathStar for that short of a distance. It was so close yet so far, its a logistic nightmare for the ground crew of DeathStar to figure out how to get it back for they are not authorised to fly it, they can't move it with their hands or pull it with a tractor beam for its too fucking big.

Well the joke of the day is the SOP whenever a Captain abandon his Starship within 100m of the DeathStar Docking system... "First Shut Down, Than Sorry". At the end of the day, senseless fear rules again...

Its a shame, damn big shame. Its telling the manufacturer of the Starship that it will have to land immediately even onto enemy territory and even when a backup system is in place to fly it out safely.
