Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope(My Version)

Two

Joseph Kirkpatrick and Wedge Antilles managed to break out of the Galactic Alliance Intelligence compound where Wedge had been confined and was installed as the link between Sal-Solo and Saxan.

Meanwhile. . .

Dodonna, Klauskin's flagship, arrived in the space above Corellia, five Jedi operations-Slashrat, Purella, Tauntaun, Womp Rat and Mynock-were put into action. As the Jedi taskforces headed for the surface, Klauskin, who was haunted by the ghostly voice of his dead wife, was confronted with a well-prepared Corellian warfleet, including Nebulon-B frigates and Strident-class Star Defenders. A collision sparked a high-pitched starfighter engagement.

Eternal operations on the surface of Corellia met heavy resistance. Team Purella, led by Jaina Solo and including Zekk, Kolir Hu'lya and Thann Mithric ambushed Prime Minister Saxan's motorcade, but were confronted with exploding YVH droids. Task Force Tauntaun, including Tahiri Veila, Doran Tainer and Tiu Zax managed to penetrate Thrackan Sal-Solo's mansion, but were also set upon. Zax managed to stay behind on Corellia and remain hidden, later acting as an invaluable source of intelligence. Both teams were rescued by Luke Skywalker's Hardpoint Squadron, encompassed in Task Force Womp Rat. Team Slashrat, a two-person operation watching Behareh Spaceport, was not required due to the arrival of the assault fleet and lack of launches. But as Klauskin's starfighter forces, including disguised Syal Antilles, were forced into engagement, Ben Skywalker and Jacen Solo, or Team Mynock, infiltrated Centerpoint Station and attempted to disable it.

Meanwhile. . . in space

Wedge, in his X-Wing starfighter was roaming through the Outer Rim with Joseph who, inside of his CFX-85 Cross-Tail Starfighter which to him, is one of the ultimate designs of Incom, by combining the T-85 X-Wing, X-83 Twin-Tail, and CF-9 Crossfire Starfighter models as well as loose inspiration from the ARC-170 and the Z-95.

"That's a nice lookin starfighter, General." Wedge commented talking to Joseph through a private Comm channel on his Comlink in the form of an earpiece.

Joseph(Comms): Thanks Wedge, I got some inspiration from those Old Republic models during the Clone Wars.

Wedge(comms): You always were one for inspiration, General. I respect that.

Though Wedge didn't see through his but Joseph smiled warmly at him. "Thanks. So, tell about this. . . Confederation."

Wedge(comms): Long story short it's a rebellion of worlds led by Corellia. They want to be free of our 'oppression' and have the galaxy govern it itself away from the GFFA.

Joseph had a moment of silence, for he knew he could relate. He pressed a few buttons on his cockpit and turned a switch. "I'm sending a message to Silver Sqaudron to meet me back at base. You can come with me if you want, General.

Wedge had a moment of pause. "How'd--How did you know I was promoted?"

Joseph(comms): Like I said, I have a Master's Degree for knowing the blatantly obvious.

And with that, Joseph and Wedge charged their Ion engines and made the jump to hyperspace.

Elsewhere. . .

As the Galactic Alliance and Corellia's relationship came under increasing strain, the leaders of both parties decided to enter into peace talks. The Galactic Alliance chose to reopen negotiations in a neutral setting in the Kuat system. However, following an attack on the delegates which claimed the life of Prime Minister Saxan, the talks failed. Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya, is hoping to bring about a Corellian-GA conflict, and is the conspirator behind these attacks.
