Utapau

Bat sat in the command center looking through several datapads. He sighs and sets one down and picks up another. Another beeps and he sets down the one he has then picks up the other that beeped. He looks at it.

"Great, just what I wanted to hear, the freezer malfunctioned and all the meat spoiled..." Bat says and throws the datapad down and picks up another as it beeps.

"Fantastic...lost 4 pilots and 2 ships on a training mission..." he sighs and throws that pad down and picks up another.

"What now? Out of parts for the gunships and walkers? Again!?" Bat yells and throws the pad.

He slams his head into his hands and runs his fingers through his hair. The door opens and he looks up. Four stood in the doorway.

"Uhh Bat...the workers are headed down to start their shifts at the power generator to see if they can fix that glitch." Four says.

"At least one of the problems is getting fixed." He says.

"Yeah...I was just letting you know in case the power goes out every now and then." Four says.

"Thanks. Hey, could you speak to someone for me and see if you can get another shipment of parts needed to fix those old gunships and tanks we managed to salvage? As well as some for the malfunctioning droids?" Bat asks.

"Yeah. No problem." Four hisses and starts walking off.

"Thanks..." Bat says and stands up.

He sighs and walks out of the command center. As he walks around the city the governor walks over toward him.

"General, may I speak with you for a minute?" He asks.

"Sure. What is it?" Bat asks.

"Just someone I thought you'd like to meet." The governor says.

He was accompanied by an old Utai man with an eyepatch on his left eye.

"Who's this?" Bat asks.

"This is General Senin Vant of the Utapau Skyforce. Best pilot on the planet. He fought during the Battle of Utapau during the clone war when General Grievous was destroyed. He and his men flew the Porax-38 fighters that were adapted by the confederacy at the beginning of the war and made them the famous rogue-class fighter. Vant and his men often stayed hidden in hangars in the caves. We reserved them until we absolutely needed them." The governor says.

"So you've been hiding them from us?" Bat asks.

"Yes." The Utai says.

"Why tell me about them now?" Bat asks.

"You're fighting the empire. You need all the help you can get. We manufacture the Porax-38 here for my kind to fly. We can modify them to fit your pilots and outfit them to fit your needs. We can even try to manufacture a couple of your other fighters if you wish or make repairs and do maintenance on them." Senin Vant says.

"Wow. Thank you, General." Bat says.

"Of course. Now whaddya say, shall we take the fight to the imps?" Vant says.

"What do you mean?" Bat asks.

"I'm going to he honest, me and my men haven't seen action in forever if at all. We're itching for some combat." Senin says.

"I don't know...I'm not sure we're ready." Bat says.

Meanwhile, maintenance workers were headed down to the power generator a few levels below in one of the caves. It was guarded by several Pau'an soldiers.
