Oh hey, this was a thread. Okay.

''Over New Eden, the GFIII's commander boards his ship. He walks to the turbolift in the hallway the bay occupants travel, and gazes at the bright holo-screen next to the lifts entrance. He lets out a sigh of desperation, and the lifts doors open. Droid pilots frantically rush out of the turbolift, knowing that without haste they will not make it to their starfighters, after being lended to New Eden.''

Fox enters the turbolift, and puts up a comm channel.

"All hands.  T-minus 15 minutes to launch.  Megg, answer the red phone.  Thank you."

''The turbolift blast doors close behind Fox, just as several scientists in lab coats give Fox a dull stare through the windows, as if being betrayed by not letting them on. The turbolift shoots through the ducts at incredible speeds, and passes a glass floor showing the massive docking bay 7. After a few minutes, the lift finally gets to the bridge, and the bridge crew turns to give a brief salute.''

"Ladies, Gents and machines. Why are we off to Yoth? To say, give the Resistance a spare hand by liberating their former base? Hmm?"

''Fox gives a strange smile, and awkward silence fills the room. Finally, ensign Krik steps up'' "Umm... Yeah sir. To free Yoth."

Fox "That's is a beta priority task. If we can save Yoth, we will. But we aren't risking our lives to do it. No, our primary goal is to capture enemy capital ships. We were forced to give New Eden a few starfighters, so all in all, we only have about a couple hundred in the docks, and can only get about 60 or 70 up quickly. Our marine force has actually strengthened, however, with the addition of a strict Kig-Yar division. We even got a more permanent crew to man the Pride of the Executioner, and her starfighters, as well as the two destroyers.

ROB: "T-minus 5 minutes to departure from New Eden."

Fox "Because the birds like to capture things so much, I am letting them lead the assault on several ships. Their special ODP's have been knocked out. Maybe one or two still are floating in orbit, but all are not functional. When I leave for boarding, do not focus fire on them, and instead focus on incapacitating enemy vessels."

Krik "Sir, why is getting these ships so important?"

Fox "Because Lieutenant, if we can obtain an entire fleet, we can barter for... very valuable things."

ROB: "T-minus 60 seconds to departure from New Eden."

Krik "Isn't this piracy, sir?"

Fox "Anti-piracy. It's time to get back what we own from these scum.  All hands, brace for slipspace launch."
