Liam Sedaire
Back & Forth
Theme
Idling at a port release, Liam impatiently flipped the throttle flux on the bolt and taped together flying coffin of a ship. His hold, small as it was, were full of smuggled kyber and other goods for the Underground could use back on Corellia. Grease smeared his face almost like war paint from working on a throttle tension rod. With a turn of a spanner and much cursing, the ship had turned back to life, and he was idling hoping it kept running. Port authority was conducting random inspections. He prayed that in the Nine Hells some being took pity and found mercy in their heart that he wasn't one.
The ship pulling up next to him got lit up by a red light, as did his.
"Craft. Pull over to the side. Inspections."
Revving the throttle, Liam shot the ship next to him a wild grin and flipped the boosters to hum to life as he shoved the yoke up and forward. If he could edge out the other craft and it's pilot, security forces would snap them up and he might have a chance to break free. Splitting up wouldn't work, as separate patrols could be mounted. One craft or the other would need to be the sacrificial lamb. One would win the "race" and the other would be in lock-up.
"Get outta my sky"
With that, the YX-Wing leapt forward with a roar and the race was on.
Fun one on one thread to just have to fly-jockeys compete and snark at one another. Up for podrace rules or just honor system. Winner pays the other 5k UCs. First reply gets the spot.
