First of all, are you a native speaker of English? The essay has so many grammar mistakes that it would take me an hour or two just to tell you everything that needs correcting.

First, remember copyrights. I am willing to bet if you name a ship the Endar Spire, Bioware would go after you. As an example, the term 'Starship Enterprise' was copyrighted by Paramount when Star Trek was in its second season.

Remember homonyms, which is why I constantly tell people to edit their work. They pass through a spell checker, but when you mean their(First person possessive) or they are instead of there (Location), it's obvious.

There are times you capitalized unnecessarily, since a man who is badly hurt might feel it is important, it is not that important story wise. Also another reason to edit is sentences like 'he has important documents that without I cannot help your friend!” need some context

The action scenes you did have were stilted, and the pace was too fast for the content. Having it go from 'I need you to kill him' to 'sure okay' was way too fast. Take my advice, first, reread edit and rewrite.

Try visualizing the scenes when you write them. I use a stream of conscience method when it flows well because I am visualizing it like a movie behind my eyes and I am merely reporting what I see.

Not bad for a first work.

There was More dialogue Or almost 200 wordssay i had to cut a huge amount out almost 3000 words so it did flow better before i thibk i cut abbout 12 lines between the two you said. i tried to keep the Speech that helped the story move along without ruining the plot.
