60.

The vast Rebel Fleet stretches as far as the eye can see. Thousands upon thousands of people of all races, genders, and backgrounds are compiled in a few ships in an abandoned portion of space.

Hundreds of Rebel commanders of all races and forms are assembled in the war room. Wedge Antilles, Caleb Dume, Admiral Ackbar, Crix Madine and others are among them. In the center of the room lies a holographic model depicting the unfinished Death Star, the nearby Moon of Endor, and the protecting deflector shield.

Mon Mothma, the leader of the Alliance, enters the room. Lando moves through the crowd until he finds Han and Chewie, standing next to Leia and R2 and C3PO. Han peers at Lando's new insignia on his chest, and is amused.

"Well, look at you. A General, huh?" Han greeted his friend, smiling.

"Someone must have told them about my little maneuver at the battle of Taanab." Lando smiled, proud of himself.

"Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were lookin' for somebody to lead this crazy attack." Han threw his hands up in innocence, even though secretly it was him who suggested his friend.

"That's all right. I asked for it. I want to lead this attack." Lando shrugged and smiled. "I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it."

"Well, who says they didn't." Han shrugged, then back tracked to keep his friends spotlight on him, "But I ain't crazy. You're the respectable one, remember?"

Leia moves closer, sitting near Han made her feel calm. She sat next to him for the meeting. Mon Mothma signals for attention, and the room falls silent.

"The Emperor has made a critical error and the time for our attack has come." Mon Mothma tells in a calm and sincere voice. This causes a stir among the rebels. The lights are dimmed as Mon Mothma's face is illuminated by the holographic model of the Death Star, the Endor moon and the protecting deflector shield in the center of the room.

"The data brought to us by the Bothan spies pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor's new battle station. We also know that the weapon systems of this Death Star are not yet operational. With the Imperial Fleet spread throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But most important of all, we've learned that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the final stages of the construction of this Death Star." She reports, and a bit of somber chatter erupts from the crowd. A shot at the Emperor himself was at stake and everyone in the room wanted a chance at taking that mans life. Leia, especially. "His journey to Endor was undertaken in utmost secrecy, of course, but he underestimated our spy network... Many Bothans died to bring us this information."

She pauses, feeling the weight of the loss of the people she had lost. Wondering sometimes if she had made a mistake with them. So much so she needed to step away, "Admiral Ackbar, please."

"You can see here the Death Star orbiting the forest Moon of Endor." Admiral Ackbar pointed to the hologram, "Although the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield, which is generated from the nearby forest Moon of Endor. No ship can fly through it, no weapon can penetrate it. The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted. Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while the fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor, somewhere in here." There's a concerned murmur among the crowd. This was a crazy plan. These were all ordinary people. There wasn't a fleet of Jedi trained, everyone was just bodies and people who had been trained to be the best they could do but that was no guarantee.
