Episode 22

Outside the command center in a barracks turned into briefing room, sat a couple dozen pilots and even more soldiers waiting in anticipation for their next assignment.

"What do you think the boss has in store for us this time?" Randmu asks.

"No idea. I heard it's something big." Xan says.

They watch as the door opens and Bat walks into the room accompanied by Four and Dex.

"Attention, commander on deck!" Cadinone yells and everyone stops talking and quickly stands at attention.

"At ease." Bat says and motions everyone down.

He nods over toward his droid that rolls over and projects a hologram in the front of the room.

"Woah." A pilot says as he stares ahead at the hologram.

"The imperial shipyards at Fondor." Bat says.

"You can't be serious, right sir?" An Amarillo Squadron pilot asks.

"I am." Bat says.

"Do we even have the resources?" Ripper asks.

"We have enough. With the intel of hyperspace lanes from Dex, we will be able to get a transport with our ground team, to the facility. Once they land, they will move through the facility, silently." Bat says, staring straight ahead at a few troopers who chuckle.

"They will probably be constructing four or five new destroyers at a time. Your jobs will be to board each one, plant the explosives at the reactor, and once you've done that, signal us and the fighters will come in to distract the imperials who will be on high alert so you can exfil." Bat explains.

"Sounds like a plan to me boss." A Pau'an soldier says.

"Any questions?" Bat asks.

"What do we do if we run into an issue?" Iguan asks.

"What kind of issue?" Bat asks.

"Let's say we get spotted. What do we do?" Iguan asks.

"Deal with the threat as quickly and silently as you can before the alarm is sounded. We can't afford to mess this up." Bat says.

"Yes sir." Iguan nods.

"Any other questions?" Bat asks.

The room was silent.

"Alright then. Let's get moving." Bat says.

"You heard the General! Move move move!" Cadinone barks and everyone quickly gets up and starts running out of the room and around the base, grabbing their gear while the pilots run to their ships.

A republic shuttle sat in the middle of the airbase where Ted and Kodi were walking over. They were the pilots for the ground team.

"You do know how to fly, right?" Ted asks Kodi.

"Yes sir." Kodi says.

"I'm trusting you with not only my life, but theirs too. You better be careful." Ted says.

"I know what I'm doing Lieutenant." Kodi says.

"Alright buddy." Ted says as they make it over to the shuttle and climb into the cockpit.

The ground team was slowing making their way over toward the shuttle. Hammerhead, Iguan, Ripper, Chex, Duran, Troy, Tori, a Pau'an, and a Nikto cram inside the shuttle as Dex walks over toward the shuttle.

"What's up, spacer?" Troy asks.

"I figured you'd want the best hyperspace jumps to take to get there, undetected. There's a few imperial clearance codes on there as well if you need them." Dex says and hands Troy a datapad.
