How to Retrain your Jedi (Group Training - The Underground - or PM to join)

Two Days Earlier

With the given word of the General of the Underground the many rebels affiliated with this Rebel Faction that had come today for this meeting stood up from their seats and began filling out the cantina. Some that didn't know how to maneuver a ship whether it be in combat or simply piloting it tagged along with Merrill while others did the same, but with other skilled pilots had their own personal vessel. And some went by themselves as they walked to the designated bay where they had stationed their space crafts that took them to wherever their hearts desired whether it be smuggling, adventuring, hunting, or relaxing. The Cin'ciri Talyc took the Rally Master for mostly Bounty Hunting for that had been his favorite hobby and career as there was tension between him and his targets to earn his paycheck that was the only was, besides mercenary contracts, to help him survive in the galaxy as nomad that needed credits to pay for the bartender. Of course, he owned a house on Concord Dawn within Mandalorian space, but he was always away from that particular territory in this universe as he went to find and follow his own path unless it was time to patrol the borders of the Mando'ade and enforce the laws on those who break them whether it be vod or aruetiise.

At the eighth bay of the Underground Base was a Tegaanalir Class Patrol Craft that stood out from the other crafts that it neighbored other ships belonging to the pilots that here at the Rebellion Actual with its armaments, the name, the company that manufactured the craft, its miscellaneous equipment, and many more factors that made it unique and different to the others vessels, just like how Vilaz differed from these Rebels. The familiar his escaped from the landing pad as it opened before the Mandalorian revealing the interior of the ship. The Warrior walked and the beskar boots could be heard as he walked upon the durasteel landing pad with his new scattergun from Jorus, crossbow, and WESTARs. Suddenly, a Vornskr that also resided in Vilaz's "house" greeted its master and received a pet on the head from the hands of the Rally Master were in crushgaunts. The ship became alive when the engine of the ship was started with the two living beings in cockpit. It began hovering the surface of the bay and moved onto the void of endless space as it exit out of the space station and followed the lead of Jorus and other ships that did the same. Sure enough, the coordinates were sent to him and the other Rebels participating in this operation.

"Hope I ain't in no dog fight," the Mandalorian said to himself as he began inserting the coordinates to the hyperdrive. One thing about Vilaz was that he was a tough fighter when it came to firearms and close quarters combat whether it be on the surface or boarding an unknown ship and eliminating any kind of hostiles aboard it. But the one thing he did not excel in was dogfighting in space or in the atmosphere. A pilot, yes, but a pilot trained for aerial combat, no. Didn't mean he wasn't capable at an amateur level, but he wasn't an Ace. Meaning he was putting his own life in a gamble if he was to engage with any enemy pilots. He did not inform anyone of this 'problem' he had, not even to the vode, as he wanted to maintain that tough image of himself that made him appear a Warrior of the ground and skies. Full of pride he was and that could lead him to his downfall on any day.

The familiar sudden jolt of velocity pushed Vilaz in his seat as the ship entered hyperspace through its hyperdrive. As he and the others flew through many light years due to the vessels' velocity of space there was nothing to be do now except wait.

Present Day

From hyperspace many freighters and a RebelX exited out to be greeted by colorful red nebula that was a part of the domain of the Fringe as they had, too, entered Fringe Space. Beautiful it was along with the other many features of space that made it colorful and alive, and not drab and space of nothing but darkness. However, as beautiful it may look to those looking at it, it was dangerous to anyone who dared to venture through it with a attitude of carefree would pay the consequences thanks to the Rebel General informing all Underground personnel who was here, at the moment. Thankfully, no one would have to go out on a limb and fly into it with hope of not being harmed by the nebula as Merrill had sent everyone a route to safely pass through the Flames Nebula. A sense of relief passed through the Redneck, but what he did not wanted to hear from the mouth of Jorus was the fact they were going to engage Fringe Starfighters escorting this supertransport. Now he was having second thoights of not wanting to tag along with another pilot. But he wasn't going to give in or give up, for those weren't the characteristics of a Mandalorian Warrior.

He continued to fly his vessel as he accelerated into the nebula following Merrill and the route that he had from him. Adapt he would in this type of scenario, for that was how the Mando'ade survived the centuries and eons that passed through galaxy. And everyone had that trait because of how they could adapt to their surroundings which is how a species or a group of people could survive and raise their numbers through reproduction to continue on that legacy. Merely, it was survival of the fittest.

"You best brace your ass, Dalso," he told his pet Vornskr knowing it wouldn't understand through the Basic language of the Mandalorian, bit would soon react with the roughness they were going to experience with the chances high of Vilaz engaging with hostile starfighters. No signs of fear or anxiety could be noted from Vilaz as he contained and incarcerated any fear that would come to him. Besides, it was his older brother how to be a man and that one odbthe characteristics of being a man was to be fearless. And he did follow and listen to his brother as Verne shaped some of his personality making Vilaz the man he was today. And instead of fear being spread on the Rally Master Vilaz would send fear into these fringers and that could easily be handled since one doesn't want to cross roads with a Mandalorian and intervene in his path.

Rees sat at the helm of the Quintessence, keeping her nice and steady. Tucked into a hollow just behind him was a simple scatter blaster with a holographic sight.

He'd never been one for complicated things, a scatter blaster did a great job down narrow corridors. So far his crew had only ever seen him use the weapon to threaten, but never fired. He had hoped to keep it that way, if he had to fire the damned thing, he might actually start to remember how much he enjoyed it.

The Quin was a positive pleasure to pilot now. She had one of the larger cargo capacities in the rag-tag fleet that was on this job, and so she'd been fully laden with weapons for the drop. Now she responded to his touch, and he felt a lot more confident about taking her into a tight spot. Beside him, Jarrick was checking his weapons and gear, Kairon assumed it was habitual from his days in the eriadu military. He hasn't seen his nephew for a few hours, not since he'd been told to take off his ridiculous gun belt and to stay out of the action anyway.

The ship wasn't particularly well armed for her size, but he had added more quad lasers in the last year; a natural response to an increasingly militant Galaxy. Kairon had also loaded a cargo pod with a pair of defense drones he'd traded some stolen energy cells for a few weeks back. He assumed they'd be a good surprise for any fighters that looked too interested.

He'd invited [member="Veino Garn"] along for the ride, he'd feel a lot better with some extra hands on deck for what was coming. Even in the worst of times as a raider, they'd never been desperate enough to attack a military vessel of this size. Ah to hell with it, sometimes he agreed with his fool of a nephew. The smuggling runs were starting to get tedious.

I got about three talents with this thing called the Force, I could bend a bullet, sometimes if the moon was set right I could increase my muscle mass a bit and finally… I was pretty dang good with a ship.

A subtle swipe of the Force here, switch of the switch there and I had a wide open view of our field, and an even more open field of what Solo had just reported in. Saw it too. Not good, definitely not good.

Roger Dinglehopper two, I got your six, over.’

Preliminary jitters about how beautiful Solo was were over, got myself in the hand again and this was about the job. Could feel the adrenaline start pumping again. Heh. Grin came up and I knew one thing for certain.

This was going to be fun.

"Roger that. Scoundrel?" Pitch rose over the other end as she wracked her mind to remember what all the callsigns were. She was pretty sure that's what it was for Mister Clumsy - no, Khaleel. Red kill bolts lanced off her viewport.

Instincts in the force saved her and certainly not her piloting skills.

Targeting systems lined up and her stomach clenched as she got a lock. She fired, pushing thrusters to zoom through the enemy cluster and closer to the asteroid. Cockpit flashed again in warning as the crash webbing tightened around her shoulders.

"Scoundrel! I can't....," exasperation left her lips, "shake this one!"

One the RebelX's ahead called in and began to divert course to engage with some nearby fighters. The voice indicated it was the female of their squad, and of course Khaleel was quick to jump to her aid. Unsurprising.

"Blue Five, go cover Blue Two and Blue Three." There was no way Flint was saying 'Dinglehopper' over the comms. "Blue Four and Six continue on course, make sure there's not another squadron hidden in the field." Flint said, and another RebelX went to aid Khaleel and Taheera. The balance between aiding friends and not making sure you were getting ambushed was always a rough one. Damn nebulas. Flint himself backed up a bit more and headed a bit more in the direction of Khaleel and Taheera, middling them and the main group. They'd be coming up on Jorus's big ship soon. Couldn't break formation just yet, but he could keep an eye on 'em.

Steady Dinglehopper. I gotcha, over.’ confident voice carried over the comms towards her. This was his element, it ain’t chatting it up with a girl he might actually like, Khaleel was an idiot then. But things like this? Dogfighting? Robbing a heavily-secured bank, or exchanging sniper fire with the conqueror of a thousand worlds?

He could do that.

Lined up my shots, felt with the Force and punched the button. First one was a miss, second one took the ‘im right in the wing and then crash, baby, crash.
Bogey down, over.’

Had my own problems to worry about now, started evasive maneuvers when Flint’s backup arrived and took it out for me. Couldn’t help but grin. Solid teamwork.

A breath of relief escaped her chest. "Thanks Scoundrel." A smile hinted at her tone. "Where'd you come up with Dinglehopper anyway?" Fingers gripped the controls with a little more familiarity. But she didn't think the unease of space travel would ever truly leave.

The fighter bobbed and weaved, lining up several more shots and making more space through the enemy fighters while sticking close to @Jorus Merril's ship. She felt the malevolence of the nebula again even as she saw the supertransport up ahead. Hands trembled as she was tempted to veer away from the others.

"Scoundrel, do you feel that? The nebula. It's like it wants to pry into my head."

Maybe she was just crazy or going crazy.

"Gypsy to all ships. Gunships, keep up the defense; the rest of us, it's boarding time."

The supertransport's frigate escort cracked like an egg as the Gypsymoth unloaded its assault concussion missiles point blank. The battered old YV-929 looped free of the debris, cloaked, and settled against the supertransport. Jorus left the freighter in the hands of Beyyr, his longtime copilot, and made his way back down to the ventral cargo bay. He irised open the bottom hatch, cofferdam flush against the supertransport's hull, and brought up one of the heavy plasma torches that the Underground used fairly frequently.

He chopped a hole through metre-thick armor plate; the supertransport's artificial gravity took hold of the beveled cross-section, and the durasteel fell in with an almighty clang. Discarding the plasma torch, he took out his Bloodstripe and jumped through the hole.
 
Veino took a deep breath. Oh boy. Now was the time to take a step out on a limb and take a risk. He wasn't entirely sure why they hitting the Fringe, honestly, other than they were One Sith allies and this was a valuable ship. Maybe striking here would divert One Sith forces away from the Republic. He really wasn't sure. But that's why he wasn't a general.

He hurried after Merril, carrying the thundergun with him, loaded with the anti-blaster and cryo-ban shells. Two of the first and one of the second, to be precise, and then as an after-thought, his his Force signature just in case they had anyone here. No need to be seen as a Jedi.

He landed lightly, and raised the gun to his shoulder, scanning the area for hostiles. His basic training from the Imperium was coming back. Not that they used slugthrowers though.

[member="Jorus Merrill"] and the others had started to board and no other fighter squadrons had come about. Flint smiled. That meant he could help out Khaleel, Tahira, and the enigmatic pilot that went by the name of "Blue Five". And he got to dogfight again. This "RebelX" wasn't really a starfighter, had the handling and speed of a bomber, but Flint didn't care. He'd make due.

"Blue Four and Six get into formation. Time to get rid of some bogeys." He said, and put a bit more pedal to the medal. His RebelX flew forward, and Blue Four and Six went to his back and right, both elevated a little from his position. If any of the Underground were around in the late(Or perhaps early depending on how one looked at it) BBY it would be the same formation Darth Vader used to hunt Luke Skywalker in his TIE Fighter. It'd be run a bit looser than that, and they'd probably split up once sensors showed enemies on their tail, but for now it was a decent position. He'd roll in hot, before lining up his sights on a Fringe Starfighter and letting loose the Laser Cannons of war. Shot hit right in the engines and boom. One down.

"Blue Leader is in the hotzone. Status report Blue Squadron." Flint put over the comms. Time to see if anybody was damaged and needed a cover, or just saw something coming. They had six RebelX's and ten bogeys though, hopefully that would be all. But with the Fringe? He wasn't sure he could bet on it.
 
Alena swallowed her nerves as the General cut away at the hull plating of the enemy ship. After the beveled plug fell away and landed with a crash, the man leapt into the whole, weapon in hand. Alena drew her pistol and followed Veino, crouching as she fell and keeping her eyes peeled. She glanced at the scanner systems she held in the opposite hand, labeling the display of bodies as friend and unknown. To be safe, Alena marked all unknowns as hostile. "Sir, I'm up and ready," Alena told the General. "I've got us up on scanners and several others in the surrounding area."

As Underground fighters fanned out through the halls of the supertransport, it became increasingly clear that, for perhaps the first time since this battlefront had opened, they'd caught the Fringe flat-footed. The big ship didn't have the immense weapons he'd hoped for -- there'd be no scorching of Aza'zoth with HELIX warheads. What it had, instead, was...cargo. Fringe weapons, supplies, ammunition, technology, information. They'd be dining out on this take for a good while.

Once the ship fell, they'd take it out of Fringe territory and deeper into the Unknown Regions for processing. He'd give them each signet rings from the old Rebel Alliance, the one that he'd been part of five, ten years back.
