The Admiral Raddus
The MC85 Star Cruiser went more and more cramped. Every hour came new evacuees from Resistance ships the First Order blew to pieces.
Corran saw another pack of transports land on the hangar deck. If he recalled it right they came from the last ship left except of the Raddus. He sighed. The whole Resistance fleet destroyed. If they also go out of fuel they would be done. Then the Resistance would be only an intermezzo in the galaxy's history. There was no hope in the eyes of the people who left the transports.
It was frustrating to see this happen. The Jedi turned to leave the hangar when he saw Poe Dameron coming from the emergency commando bridge. The captain looked more than angry when he was about to pass Corran. His friend stopped him and pulled him in a corner. "What happened?"
Poe looked at the young Rendar and tried to loosen his friends grip. "They tried do deny me access to the bridge." Corran smiled. "You wouldn't be you if they succeeded in doing this."
Dameron nodded. "Holdo let me on the bridge actually. But she still refused to tell me about her plans." He slammed his fist against the wall. The young Jedi tried to calm him down.
"She must not tell you about her plans. The chain of command…" But Dameron seemed not to listen what his friend was trying to tell him. "Her plans… I realized what her plans are when I heard the sound and looked at the monitors of the bridge. She wants to evacuate the Raddus."
The Jedi looked at him taken aback. "Evacuate? But the transports are defenseless. No shields, no weapons... this is madness, Poe." His friend nodded. "It's exactly what I told her, but our purple haired leader refused to listen." Corran frowned. "Simply told her or acting in your typical manner?" "I don't know what you mean," Dameron's response came. "Ah ok, maybe I grew a bit louder and overreacted a bit. But she endangers the survival of the Resistance!" The ace pilot glared at his comrade. Rendar touched his friends arm "Calm down, Poe." "There must be a way to stop this," the captain mumbled. Corran raised an eyebrow. "You speak of mutiny?"
"Why not? I'm pretty sure that the general would never abandon the only capitol ship we have left. She would agree with me."
"You think others will follow you?" His friend asked. "Of course, Lieutenant Connix already helped me to bring Finn and Rose on their way to Canto Bight. I'm pretty sure she will agree and help me, but what about you, Corran?" He looked expectantly at his friend.
The young Jedi pondered the question over. Finally he came to a decision. "Alright, I'm with you, Poe." Dameron smiled at him. "I knew you will support me. Now we must gather the others to talk about how we proceed. We'll meet at 0800 in my quarters."
With this words he left to find more allies for his plan.
