There was a lurch as Star Squadron burst from the bright veil of hyperspace back into the dark void of realspace. Ahead loomed a verdant moon orbiting a pale blue gas giant: the forest moon of Endor. The moon was oft spoken of in many smuggler's tales, but it was worthless otherwise. Worthless to all but two entities: Czerka Corporation and the rebellion against the Sith Empire. Czerka wanted the native Ewoks. Their pelts sold for good money, as did their meat in the form of Ewok jerky. They were also somewhat useful as slave labor. For the rebellion on the other hand, it was just one more clandestine moon that had the potential for a base outside of the watchful eyes of the Sith Empire.
Greybok took his starfighter and swung onto a course that would take him straight for their destination: a Czerka landing pad that needed to be removed to ensure rebel operations could thrive undetected on and around Endor. He switched on his comm unit and broadcast a message to his squadron. Without Twobee, he had no droid to translate his Shyriiwook into Basic. However, fortunately, the main displays on each of the ships would translate his speech for him.
This is Star Leader to Star Squadron: I am transmitting the coordinates of our target to your navicomputers now. Let's make this short and clean. The Wookiee pilot reached up and flipped a few switches that would give power to his weapon systems. He then said, Everyone form up on me and report in. Remember: stay in formation until you receive orders to engage. This is a training mission and I don't want to send anyone back to base in a body bag—unless you're okay being buried on Hoth, that is.
He switched off his comm, but remained on the channel so that he could hear everyone report in. He then focused on maintaining his course and watching his instruments for any sign of trouble. So far, so good, but, as he was well-acquainted with now, shit could hit the fan at any moment. @Wit, @Cazar, @Plebometer, @Lazy Swordsman, @Kayenta Moenkopi, and @Insalius
