"We've picked up a flight of Brigade TIEs coming in hard to your port,
Vongbane. Watch out." Said Han into the comlink.
"Copy that, Captain Solo. Thanks for the warning." Said the voice of Jacen from the bridge.
Han grinned. "You know, you could just call me Dad."
"Negative, Captain Solo." Said Jacen sarcastically. "I have to follow proper protocol, you know, now that I'm a Senior Officer."
Han snorted. "You may be of higher rank, but I'm the senior officer around here."
"Well," Commed Jacen, "Let's hope you're not too 'senior' yet, because there's a squad of fighters coming around on your right."
Han grinned and shoved the control stick hard, rejoining the fray.
Back on the ground, the citizens, filled with hope, began to rebel against the Peace Brigade troops in the cities. One by one, troops fell to rocks throw from windows or laser bolts from the rooftops. The people of Oomglor weren't going down easily.
But neither was the Peace Brigade.
"Send a call to the nearest occupied system for reinforcements. I want to keep this planet out of the hands of those Rebel scum." Commander Bilak Nord was a former Imperial officer who was recruited by the Peace Brigade. He didn't like all the smugglers that made up the brigade, he thought they were brash and disloyal. However, the only thing he hated more than smugglers was the remnants of the New Republic.
He still referred to them as 'Rebel scum'.
He joined the Brigade to take worlds from those disarrayed insurgents, and he wasn't about to lose one of them to a ragtag group of ships that hardly constituted a 'fleet'. Unfortunately, his fleet was hardly a match with those cowardly aliens turning tail and running simply because their leader was killed. Hmph, he thought. He remembered when Palpatine was killed at Endor. His fleet, instead of backing off, engaged the troublesome Rebels. He gritted his teeth. Those days still haunted him- how had three squadrons of starfighters and eight capital ships taken down the awesome power that was the Death Star?
"Uh. sir? What now?"
The voice of the commander's assistant immediately snapped Nord out of his nostalgic musings.
"Open the ion hatch. I want the cannon operational in ten minutes."
The Rebels had yet to see Nord's true power.
