======================

Above the gigantic terrestrial world, Mercurius, the Ad Astra, flagship of
the Rebel Squadrons' Renegade Fleet, waits to reclaim the last of its
starfighter squadrons. Making sure everyone makes it back safely, a lone
X-Wing piloted by the Fleet's commanding officer makes the journey home last
to herd in the craft of some newer pilots. Not until everyone successfully
made it into the hanger bay, does Lieutenant General Shikkie Karaan initiate
his own landing procedures. Once inside the magnetic hold of the hanger bay,
Shik gently lands it, as if he'd been doing it for years. Releasing the
cockpit canopy, he begins to unstrap himself and remove his flight helmet.
The technician in charge of his Incom T-65a X-Wing is the first to greet him.

"Nice flying, Sir! 10 confirmed kills and not a scrach on her," the
technician bellowed as he ran up to the parked X-Wing.

LGN Karaan responded by smiling. Giving him a nod as he climbed down the
ladder he glanced at his X-Wing. "We're a good team. Have the last of the
Imperial ships fled yet?"

"They've been busy running scared, Sir. The frigate that was covering their
retreat hypered out of here a while ago. We even think they left behind and
abandoned some stromtrooper units on the planet, but RSCD commandos are
already checking things out. I feel bad for those stormies...there's a rumor
already going around that General Tharen single-handedly took out an entire
Platoon of them earlier in the battle...and speaking of Tharen, announcements
have already been released by him and the Fleet Commander about this shindig."

"Let's go find ourselves a datapad then..."

>From the Office of the Fleet Commander:

Immediately after the Second Battle of the Vectain System-

Hello, Members of the Rebel Squadrons.

And hail to you, participants in the Outer Rim War. I am leaving this
message to you to express my pride at the pinnacle our club has reached in
this competition. When it first started, I told some of the other club's FCs
that we would make 200 matches. I'm proud to say that we have hit that
number and surpassed it this week. 211 matches is simply incredible. And
the RS has also pulled off a significant win this week. I just wanted you
all to know how proud I am for our club, and how well you have done. May you
continue to fight as well as you did this week, for the continued glory of
the Rebel Squadrons.

Yours,

Fleet Commander Dave Trebonious-Astoris

work!
