The New Rebellion fleet comes out of hyperspace, orbiting the once pirate planet of Florrum.

"We're here, now what?" Vev asked

"Follow me." Kikks said

Mal, Vev, the councilman and Kikks' squad boarded Serenity.

"I don't know what you're looking for Kikks. No one has used this planet in years." Wash said

"Set her down right there." Kikks said pointing to a rusty landing pad

Serenity lands and everyone follows Kikks outside.

"What are we doing here?" the councilman asked

"My father was a very well-known smuggler. After he met my mother he settled down and had my brothers and I. Sometimes he would go on trips and bring things back here with him. One day he took my brothers and I here and said, 'Boys, if you ever need a place to hide, this is it." Kikks said

"Good story, but how does that help us." the councilman asked

Kikks presses a button on a wall. Dust begins to fall off the massive door. It opens and Kikks extends his arm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...our new fleet." Kikks said

Inside was a docking yard full of fifty old republic battle cruisers with starfighters. Small frigates and support ships. Troop supplies, weapons and a fully functioning base.

"Your father built this?" Kaylee asked shocked

"Yep, I was going to let the Rebellion use it, but never got around to tell them about it. Which is why I'm going to let the New Rebellion use it." Kikks said

"Kikks, this is not only great, but we can use this place as a new central command center." Vev said

"Kind of the idea." Kikks said

The councilman was at a loss for words.

"This is Vev. Begin fleet landing procedure."
