Captain Sarah Sorella hated Hoth. It was cold. She was from a warm planet. But Sarah loved the Rebel Alliance, and she loved being a leader. Sarah was the captain in charge of the 14th Rebel Infantry division. She was best friends with Jimmy Johnsen, the leader of Magenta Squadron.
After scout patrol, she and Jimmy were to report to the command center to recieve new orders. Rumors had started flying around the Rebel base that the Empire was working on something huge. It wasn't known what they were building or what it was for that matter. Most likely, the mission would have something to do with the new weapon.
Jimmy pulled down his mask. "We need to report in now" he stated. "Alright" Sarah responded. "We'll take the shortcut through the old smuggler trenches". "Roger that" Jimmy said.
They took off on their Tauntauns toward the rebel base.
After an uneventful trip back, Sarah checked her datapad. "We need to be at command in 3 minutes" she stated. At a light jog, she and Jimmy moved toward the command post.
When they arrived, Mon Mothma stood opposite a large holotable. "We have uncovered the location of the Empire's new weapon and we need you to destroy it" Mon said. "Do we know what it is" Jimmy asked. "No" Mon responded. "So we have gone with a fairly solid tactic that is generally pretty maleable. We believe that the weapon is on the surface, so we need the 14th on standby for ground assault. The planet, Meshika, is protected by a blockade, so we need Magenta Squadron to break through before we can deliver the 14th to the ground. As of right now, we do not believe the weapon to be operational, so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Any questions"
Sarah and Jimmy both shook their heads no. "Alright" said Mon. "Operation Beef Stew has begun".
