-Chapter 1By: Princess Raye Fire
*~*~Over 70 years ago~*~*
She stood in the doorway of the room watching its occupants. They were her 11 best friends.
Seven months ago, 72 Jedi Padawans and a few newly christened Knights received orders from the council to leave every thing -missions, training, romances, adventures, quests, all of it- behind and report to the Republic Navy Starfighter Academy
Six weeks later and the twelve of them were all that was left.
All Jedi. All Rebels from the expected. All Pilots. -Some could be the best pilots in the Galaxy. Definitely the best in the fleet, but then again, they did have an unfair advantage.- All very different yet the same.
After 3 months of special pilot/unit training they were given the name 'Rogue Knight Squadron' and she, Cassandra Nightwalker, an ex-Corellian-street-rat-turned-Jedi-Knight was their Commander.
Cassandra had been given orders for a mission. And though she did not like it the man he was, High Chancellor Palpatine, Chief Councilor of the Republic. And serving the Republic made them all his servants. And that thought made her visibly shutter. 'Oh well better get this over with.'
She walked to the middle of the briefing stage and one of her pilots screamed. "Officer on Deck!"
They all snapped to attention, faster than the eye could see, leaving chairs and things to fall where they may.
They have discipline. But don't tell them that. It'd send six months of boot camp and basic training down the tubes.
"Knights we have a mission. We are going to Alderaanian space. While there we are going to stop a pirate band raiding the area. All mission data has been sent to your data pads. Review it. Pack up. We launch in 3 hours. Any questions? Dismissed."
*~*~Present~*~*
*~*Rogues POV*~*
The TIEs began to poor out of the Interdictor-class Cruiser
(1) and Victory II-class Star Destroyer (2) Wedge issued orders "Rogues, slave your torpedo targeting to my signal. Transmitting now. Tycho, I go first, then you follow.""I copy, Wedge."
~*Later*~
"Beginning my run now!" Tycho's voice rang out.
Wedge keyed his comm unit. "Corran get ready for…" A warning light on Wedge's console went from green to red. 'Sithspit! What now?'
Suddenly two things happened. First a Carrack-class light cruiser came out of the ruins of what used to be Alderaan and started firing on the Aggregator's (1) stern and the Corrupter's (2) bridge. Second 12 more X-Wings appeared marked 'Hostile'.
*~* Rogue Knights POV*~*
Cassandra's mind reeled Just hours before her squadron had taken off from Corasant. They pulled into Alderaan space but somehow when they arrived it was not what she expected.
Suddenly a strange, distorted voice came over her comm. "Unidentified X-WINGs Identify yourselves. This is Wedge Antilles of Rogue Squadron."
"Wedge Antilles this is Commander Cassandra Nightwalker of the Galactic Republic. What is your situation?"
"We were to meet Freighters for delivery and were ambushed by the Largest 2 of the 3 ships. I request you help take out the smaller of those 2 so we can all escape."
"Roger (3) Rogue Knight Flight 2 Help protect those Freighters. If it fires on you kill it. Flights 1 and 3 on me."
*~*Rogues*~*
"Who are they Wedge?"
"I don't know, Tycho, but the claim to be part of The Old Republic some Rogue Knight Squadron."
"Great we've got old crazies backing us up."
"Well, children, these old crazies just finished off their target."
"Gavin, what have I told you about running your mouth? Commander Nightwalker we want you to come with us back to base."
"Affirmative. Nightwalker, Out.

These are kind of what those ships are, don't make fun I'm not very Technical.:
(1) An Imperial Ship that carries TIEs and makes fake gravity wells to pull ships out or Hyperspace or light speed and keep them out.
(2) An Imperial Attack Ship that has all kinds of TIEs, has big guns, and is like the ones in the movies only smaller.
(3) who is Roger any way and why do they ALWAYS say that?
