Flash Taxso

A rebel transport consisting of various jedi evacuees from Hoth exited out of hyperspace and landed in the Eternal Vigilance. After the transport unloaded it's passengers, it flew back into space and jumped into hyperspace, after checking for homing devices.

The rebel fleet began making random hyperspace jumps as their crews ran diagnostic tests on the fleet and scanned for any homing beacons before headed to their final destination.

*The alliance fleet exited hyperspace in a uninhabited system and regrouped. After collecting all starfighters, the fleet began making random jumps and scanning for tracking devices. After enough hopping, the fleet made a final jump to Pacalis City.*

*An SD, began making random hyperspace jumps back and forth across the galaxy, not wishing to be discovered. All that remained of the SD was a hull with engines strapped to it, all weapons were offline as were the shields. The SD simply continued to jump back and forth randomly, praying not to be discovered.*

*A comm came in to both Ripley and Drake* "Drake, Ripley, this is an emergency. I authorized a terrorist to be conducted on Coruscant by Talon and Rinnian. I just recieved a comm that their cover has been blown, that is all I know, please, drop what you are doing and come to Pacalis City as I felt that it was best to move to where the fleet was, I ordered all troops on Hoth to Pacalis City. So please, hurry"

"Very well, you will fly under Warren Worthington but unfortunately he is currently on assignment. Right now, I feel that we should return to our main base, Hoth is currently an outpost of ours, may be a busy outpost be it is still simply an outpost. Get to your fighter, we're all picking up shop and moving" *Flash proceeded to his office and using the intercom, organized that all material be stowed onboard freighters and everybody prepare to move. Within an hour, echobase looked like the way it did during the Empire's attack on it so long ago. 10 minutes later, the last transport took off with fighter escorts and Flash was the only one left, his X-Wing sitting in the hangar. Looking around the hangar, Flash sighed.* "We'll be back echo base, you served us well..." *With that, Flash took off in his X-Wing and jumped into hyperspace, following the rest of the alliance.*

((OOC: An alias in both the alliance and the empire eh? )) "Well, as a matter of fact, a jedi-squad leader of ours, Talon Flick, is creating a new elite squadron, Darksaber Squadron. Darksaber squadron is a special squadron because it isn't a fly-only squadron, they are the alliance's special commandos who will either fly in the air or fight on the ground, whatever the situation may be. If you would like to join them then they have a slot open, otherwise, if you wish to just stick in the air then that is fine too."

*Flash looked the young Rodian from head to toe* "Hmm.... and what do you wish to do amongst our ranks?"

"Talon, Rinnian and Warren have left to perform an attack on Coruscant, unfortunately you were too late for Rinnian to take along. Sorry that things are so slow right now, we're building a base on Naboo right now so most resources are being diverted to there, that means limited numbers of missions. In the meantime though, I have a message to deliver to Coruscant, so if you'll excuse me..." *Flash programmed his computer to send a heavily encoded, untraceable direct comm to Rinnian, Talon and Warren..* "Well, that's that. So, Kaleb, what kind of missions would you like to complete for the alliance?"

*Before Talon could take off, Flash met him in the hangar* "As Rinnian is our new Special Ops Commander I gave him overall command of this mission. I know you are the most experienced out of all of us, me included, so I ask that you watch over things and make sure nothing wrong happens. If Rinnian does make a mistake please help him, your experience on this mission is key and having you on Coruscant will relieve me greatly of my worry for this mission. Good luck."

*As Flash watched Kaleb leave, he returned to his office and logged onto the computer. After doing some research, Flash called Rinnian down to his office. After he arrived, Flash began* "It's been a while since we've done any real activity so I've done research and I've outlined a mission for you to lead. You shall pick anybody you wish to go with you on this mission. I want you and your team to land secretly on Coruscant ((Use the Upper Levels of Coruscant Thread)) and locate the Grand Imperial Hotel. I then want you to sneak into the basement, plant the neccesary explosives and evacuate the area. Your ultimate goal is to demoralize the population of Coruscant with minimal combat. Since it IS the Grand Imperial Hotel, there shall probably be stormtroopers within range to react to our terrorist attack. I wish all of you to travel together, but in your own seperate fighters. Remember, the ultimate goal is to demoralize the population and remind everybody that the Galactic Alliance isn't a simple rebellion anymore. With the destruction of such a high-class building, the upper level population will surely become jittery and the imperials shall have to step up security to keep order. On your way out I want you to all double check that you have no tracking devices attached on your respective ships then I want you to jump to Bespin then return here to Hoth incase you are persued. If you have any questions then ask me now, I wish your team to consist of less than 10 members and that this go over smoothly, without a hitch."

*Flash nodded* "Hmmm... We don't have a scout in the alliance yet... you can prove quite useful... At the moment we don't have much going on as we have a base being built on Naboo and I'm here just caretaking... I may start a simulation for all of us soon but many of the pilots are off dealing with their own affairs. How about you go around the base and meet the troops?"

*Flash turned to the newcomer* "At the moment that would be me, Admiral Flash Taxso" *Flash offered his hand* "How may I help you?"

*Flash turned back to Talon* "Hmmmm.... interesting concept..... A group like that would be useful when needed. I approve of the idea, what shall you call it?" ((I don't think you can create a group of PC's because there simply aren't enough members. You'll have to do with NPC's unless you can find somebody .))

*Flash shook yakooza's hand* "Pleasure to have you with us. Currently, our leader, Drake Vortex is on naboo. I welcome you to echo base and let me say that I'm glad to have you and your men with us to help us fight the empire. *Flash looked over the group of vessels and men that Yakooza had arrived with* "Your men look battle-hardened, good sign considering most of our troops have yet to see real combat."

"Hmm... I can only imagine the way you're feeling right now. Of course you can take a more active role, do you prefer to be a ground specialist or a space combat specialist?"

*Flash shook Jeral's hand.* "Welcome to the Galactic Alliance. I'm glad you have come. I'm sure you'll be a great assest leading Red squadron. I am sorry but before we can start the simulator I'll have to speak with Yakooza before we start"

*Flash nodded* "No offense taken, I do realize that I have my faults. But I'm glad that I have people like you to catch them for me. Thank you. " *Flash turned to Rinnian* "Corsec eh? mmm.... not really... nobody from there rings a bell, but if he's from corsec he's probably an ally. I've heard many good things about Corsec. Yes, commandos would help, but we currently have everybody assigned. Unless we get new members into the Alliance, I don't see anything that can be done about that."

*Flash nodded* "Theoretically... It would be a dream but it would be quite large and bulky with two power generators. Those A-Wing engines will only prove to be useful in flying straight, not in combat. A large fighter and unmavouverable fighter with weak shields spells death to me... Personally I think the X-Wing is getting slightly outdated. Sure it killed the death star, but that was years ago. We have the technology now. I think we should tone done the lasers on your design so we can eliminate the 2nd power generator. Maybe we can swap out the A-wing engines for some TIE engines to provide power at lighter weight. The sound can also maybe confuse enemy pilots by hearing their own engine whines... Good idea to create a new fighter though, with some tweaking, I'm sure we can think of something"

*Flash nodded at Talon and Warren's ideas and comments* "Talon, I may not know you very well but I do hear from the troops. They find you a legend, the only jedi amongst the rebellion. I also do know that they need training and disipline. Why do you think I run so many simulators? Why do you think I give my troops so many oppurtunities for leadership?Also, Rinnian is not a fighter jock, he is a commando, he works on the ground. I don't wish to argue with you about how the rebellion is run, don't get me wrong. I have the highest respect for you. Warren, I think that's a good idea, though we'll need to create a design and run it buy Drake too before we even consider. I'm afraid that confirmation will have to wait until we contact him again but in the meantime, tell me what kind of fighter you're thinking of?"

"STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONALS! Rinnian, Talon here is a very important member of the alliance, his force powers are unreplaceable. That comment was totally out of hand. Talon, causing Rinnian to vomit like that was very immature, don't do that again. We won't have a chance of fighting the empire if we fight amongst ourselves."

*Flash's intercom beeped, Flash pushed it* "Sir, we have a T-Wing which came in from orbit and landed a kilometer away from the base. We've detected a single human male who's making his way here." *Flash sighed* "Don't worry corporal, get a squad of troops on some tauntauns and bring Rinnian back. Oh and send out a utility sled to tow in the T-Wing. Oh and one moooooore thing[/uncle voice], set up the sims with scenario overwhelm. We'll be using it shortly." *The annoyed officer grumbled* "Yes sir...." *Flash turned back to Jouste* "Well once Jeral gets here we'll start"

*Flash nodded* "Very well, he is now under your command. As a matter of fact, I was thinking we should run a fighter sim. The last one only composed of me and Warren, now with so many new pilots I think it's time for another run... Interested?"

*Flash looked over the papers and nodded* "Seems in order to me..." *A Rebel trooper interrupted and stepped into the office, the officer saluted* "Sorry for the disturbance sir, but Rinnian wanted me to tell you that he's travelling to Coruscant for a while, and that he would be back in a few days" *Flash nodded and gave a lazy salute* "Roger that soldier, thanks for the heads up" *The soldier saluted and left the room. Flash turned back to Jouste* "Back to business, yes, everything seems in order and I approve of you taking him into your wing. Has he seen any combat experience yet?" ((OOC: Has he RP'ed before?))

*Flash kicked his feet onto his desk* "mmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm.... never heard of him before, what about him?" ((OOC: By never heard of him, I mean I've never heard of him IC, I know he posted a request in WBS))
