But today, Life's gonna be a beach. So sit back, grab a drink or three, and let your worries get lost in the Unknown Regions of Space.

Hello there, Wattpadawans!

Even the fiercest warriors need a little time off from ruling the galaxy. After all, enforcing the laws on unsuspecting civilians is a stressful job to have. The sun is shining down from the blue skies above. The vast ocean is warm and filled with native marine life. The sand is clinging to every crevice imaginable. No one is barking out commands or verifying data. Beach day is for everyone to enjoy and today the weather couldn't be more perfect. What could possibly go wrong?

Using these images as inspiration, write a story about how these soldiers and officers of the Galactic Empire spend their vacation time.
