The four X-wings sped through the sky. "Alright Corona squadron let's get back to base, " Thane said to Corona squadron through the comms.
"Copy that Corona Leader. Corona 2 standing by."
"Come on Thane just a little longer! I haven't even got chance to get ahead of you yet," Kendy loved flying nearly as much as him but they needed to report back to base.
"We need to be back before the medal ceremony, Kendy. If we don't go now we'll miss it," Thane insisted.
"Fine," she said. "Corona 5 standing by,"
"Prepare to make the jump to light-speed Corona squadron," Thane flicked some switches above his head and input the coordinates into his nav system and prepared to go into the light tunnel. He always enjoyed seeing all the stars race past him as thin lines of light. He came out of the tunnel in front of the planet that the New Republic base was calling home.
"Corona squadron do you copy? Yendor and Kendy came out of light-speed and gave Thane the OK to land.
When they were back in the hangar, Kendy said, " So...Thane? What were we doing out there anyway?"
"We had reports of a possible Imperial
base, so we were sent to check it out," he said.
"But that planet was mostly water? They can't build a base under it can they?" Yendor had just got out his tools to repair a dent in his X-wing.
"No, not with the resources they have now. They were kind of destroyed remember?" Thane had now got out his tools to repair his ship. The hangar was eerily quiet, until Thane had finished on his X-wing and said,"I'm going to see Ciena."
"Tell her I said hi," Kendy smiled. Thane put down his tools and headed towards the prison cells.
