Rebel Strike Team

Natalya Ferran

Nar Shadaa Outer Rim(1 month since the fall of Echo base on Hoth)

Fort Alderaan Rebellion relief base

The Alarms blaring in the old republic base awoke Corpsman Natalya from her slumber, when she finally got her bearings. She grabbed her A280 blaster rifle, her corpsman bag and her main fighting bag with all her supplies inside, slung it over her back and headed for the central command chamber to receive her briefing for the alert. As she entered the main briefing room, in the command room, her other squadmates arrived shortly after. To her right was the Squad Designated Marksman Kaarl Chro From tyferra. Standing at six foot even, with a dark complexion that was common from humid world, he had black hair and wore the same green fatigues she wore, on his back was a backpack and at his side he held a E-17D Sniper rifle. To her left was her captain Dulgan Myec, a grizzled veteran of some of the earliest battles of the rebellion during the Galactice Civil War, he was a human from Corellia who stood at her height at 6 foot even and had no hair, but a shaved scalp look, on his face was a scar that ran from his bottom lip to his chin. He had his backpack but also carried a A280 blaster rifle but instead of a red dot scope like hers his carried a hologram scope. To the left of him was the squad's grenadier, the only other orphan of Alderaan in the squad Skye Benoo. She stood at 5'8 with red hair and a light complexion, who had a A280 blaster rifle like hers but underneath the barrel was a portable grenade launcher designed to shoot flares or thermal detonators. She began to slowly look around the full command room when her commander came into the room. Reatt Jiktar stood at 6 feet even with a shaved scalp, and a graying beard on his side in a holster was a DH-17 blaster pistol worn by main alliance officers, on his right leg in a black sheath was a vibroblade. Rumors swirled where he had gotten it, some said he had killed a mandolorian with it, others said he had pulled it out of a rancor and used it to eat him, whatever the reason, the fact was he was never without it, made everyone call him commander blade. As he entered the room, all the marines sitting stood up and saluted the commander. After returning the salute, everyone sat down and got in front of a wall projection of the base. The base was laid out in a square formation with a central command area and control tower.

To the north was the hanger area with 2 of its three enormous hangers converted to med facilities for all the wounded who had come from Hoth and other places the empire had hit, and both were filled to capacity. To the east where she had just come from was the dorm area, where the soldiers slept and ate at. To the west was the main med area where only the most critical where being held for surgeries as well as bacta baths. To the south was the armory and storage area. All four of the sections were connected to each other by four enclosed walkways that ran over the sands of the planet Nar Shadaa. With each section connected to the main central section by three walkways. As she looked over the image of the wall the Commander began to speak. "Gentlemen and ladies, I am sorry to wake you up but I just received a message from high command, let me say that Princess Leia, General Nadine, and Admiral Ackbar, Mon Mothma are safe. I know many of you have heard the rumors that the Empire had decapitated High Command at Hoth they are ok. However, Han Solo has been captured by Boba fett and Luke Skywalker is missing. Still 90 percent of High command is alive. Our losses were grave there but thanks to some brave pilots and security forces there they were not as bad as they could have been. As some of you know we were one of three relief stations, used to house the security forces fleeing Hoth. Now the bad news, an hour ago we got an alert from our sensors in orbit that a star destroyer has entered orbit. Fortunately it left but not before setting down a AT-ST transport and a heavy transport at the main spaceport in Hutt town. Our spies tell me in town that we are dealing with a company of storm troopers with two AT-ST to support them and that they are preparing to move out and I can only assume they are coming for us. So we are abandoning the fort. The transport, Corelian moon is already on her way and will land in hanger three, she will evac the wounded and civilian personnel from the base, our transport will be at the rendevous point to evac us."

The Commander continued as murmurs were heard in the room "Until then we have to prep the base for destruction. I already have told our computer techs to begin the destruction of all our electronic files, and once done to render all the computers useless to anyone. The med techs have already begun shifting the wounded to hanger three to be loaded on the transport which will be here in 10 mikes. We must buy them and the computer techs time. Squads one through 10 will be on the outer perimeter observations posts to hold off the attacks with armed with heavy repeaters and rockets, squads 11-20 will assist in the placing of explosives around the base and then will act as inner perimeter force. Once all the explosives have been placed and all computer equipment destroyed, we will fall back to the west away from the base and meet at the rendezvous point. By my calculations we have about three hours before they get here so are there any questions." When no one raised their hand he dismissed the meeting and all the squads began to head out for their assignments. Since my squad was assigned to the placing of the explosive charges around the base the rest of my squad headed to the armory, but I instead headed for the commander who had went into his office."Hey Corpsman Ferran where you going." Said the Captain. I have to ask the commander something I will meet up with you in the armory."

As I said this I entered the commanders office and the doors closed behind us." Sir, I wish to have a moment with you." after I said this the Commander stood up from his desk and spoke." A daughter should not have ask permission to see her father." My father was commander blade and if the men knew the real story behind why he had a vibroblade they would freak but that is and always will be a family secret. As he said this I spoke to my dad." Dad, tell me the truth, how bad is it." as I said this, his shoulders slumped and he got up from his desk and walked to the front of it and leaned against it." it ain't as bad as it could have been, but it ain't good either. Most of high command got out of Hoth and what I said out there is true but what I didn't say was that they are on the run, hiding god knows where and the message I got was the last message I was going to get from them for awhile, by my guess they are going to the outer rim to hide out and lick their wounds, a few rebel units are attacking imperial installations and planets trying to give them some breathing room. Twilight Company tried to make a play for the kuat drive yards but only got as far as sullust. A small recon team hit an imperial prison on kashyyyk and freed a bunch of imperial prisoners most of them from the rebellion, but besides that and some smaller attacks, the rebellion is in retreat. We are to totally raze the fort, destroy all the files and head for mon calamari." As I looked at him I saw defiance in his eyes but I also saw the hope of my commander dwindle. Then he continued speaking," Natalya, I want you on the medical transport leaving soon, I will clear it with you Captain." As he said this I walked up to him and spoke loudly. No dad, I am staying with the men, I will leave when you leave." As he looked at me I didn't see the commander of the fort I saw a father's love."Natalya, I lost your mother to the empire, I can't lose my daughter too, please leave before the imperial force arrives." he said. I started to get angry and responded." No, I am not leaving until my unit leaves, you would not abandon us I will not abandon you or them." He sighed and responded."Ok, but before you leave I want to give you something as he said this he walked behind his desk and reached under it and pulled out a box and gave it to me.

"Natalya, these belonged to your grandfather, he left them to me and I give them to you. These have been passed down in my family for many generations now I pass them down to you, I will tell you what my father told me, use them well." He said as he handed Natalya the box. She opened it and inside it was a worn belt that held on it it two sheaths for vibroblades, she then pulled one out of its sheath and looked at it. The blade was about 3.5 feet long with a handle extending another two feet. The handle was a metal handle, when she wrapped her hands around the handle and began to grip it, plasma energy began to flow from the handle to the tip of the blade giving the glade a blue hue as the blade vibrated with energy, giving it its name. On the blade itself was a laser etched image of a dragon over a shield. After looking at it she placed it back in it;s sheath and looped the belt around her back with the blades up side down and hidden by her backpack." Thanks dad, look I got to go good luck." As She headed out the door her dad spoke back to her from behind the desk. "Natalya no matter what happens know I am very proud of you and your grandfather would be too, may the force be with you." and then she left and headed back into the command area and headed towards the armory. As she left the Commander looked at her and in his gut was a feeling that those would be the last words he ever spoke to his daughter.
