Ramblings from a Galaxy far away

  It had been six weeks since the encounter at the Castell shipyards. Cosmic exited hyperspace and brought his X-Wing round on a vector to dock with the Hammerhead Corvette Vestige. Once in the hangar he jumped out of the ship and made his way forward to the crew quarters. The members of Remnant Squadron sat quietly around a table waiting for him. “Guys I…” “We know Cosmic. She was your friend too.” Saywah interrupted him. Angels loss had affected everyone deeply, but they had now passed the point of condolences and sorry for your loss. At least Cosmic shared their loss at a personal level, having flown with Angel longer than any of them. “Thanks Saywah, that’s not what I was going to say. I have a mission for you.” “I don’t know if we’re ready for that yet Cosmic.” Interjected Leaph, looking around at his squad mates. “We’ve not really worked on how to cover her role and…” “This might change your mind.” Comsic cut Leaph off and placed a small audio recorder on the tabl...

  “Sir, ship ID says it’s the Retaliator.” “Karktisses command?” The Officer frowned, “Have they forwarded their command codes?” “Yes Sir, ship code checks out, Officer code identified as Senior Lieutenant Mango Maus. They report heavy damage and request docking clearance.” “Get me the Advocate.” “Patching through now Sir, channel open.” “Advocate this is Admiral Janson of shipyard defence force, ISD Retaliator is requesting permission to dock.” “This is Grand Admiral Karktiss, that crew committed mutiny, deny them clearance and destroy them.” “Sir, they claim the mutiny was put down, a Captain Honsou is being held in the brig along with other mutineers. A Senior Lieutenant Maus claims to be in command.” Karktiss considered it for a second before responding. “Admiral Janson, tell the Retaliator to hold position and prepare to be boarded for inspection. Any refusal or hindrance to the boarding party and the ship is to be destroyed.” He turned to the commander of th...
