"The Rodian rebels control the skies surrounding Equator City and the surrounding regions. After some reconnaissance, we have pinpointed the origin of their air superiority to a makeshift air base several Kilometers north of the city. Your mission is to lead a flight of starfighters escorting our bombers to take out the airbase. Expect heavy resistance."
The deeply rooted trees of the Rodian rainforest swayed heavily as the two sections flew over them at a frightening low altitude. The two sections, each consisting of three starfighters and a single bomber were heading north-west to seek out their target but had to be creative in their way of approach. With the rebels holding the skies hostage it was necessary to fly below the radar as long as possible, which wasn't at all easy on a this humid ball of rainforest and frogs. Heading one of the sections was a former lieutenant of the Border Alliance and their Defiant Squadron whose illusions shattered in the Republic's service and now uses his advanced flying skills for the Chosen in return for vast credits and comradery. The last time he flew a mission in this part of the galaxy he was flying a bomber, which was way too slow in its turns for his liking and he was quite enjoying being back in a proper interceptor. "Oi boss" Cavalas said over the comm to Caedryn, "Did I tell you about my previous encounter with a Rodian pilot?" he laughed.
