Ankh-Morpork Guard
First Post
Four days passed before you were called upon again. Gathered in the usual briefing room, there was no wait at all until the Vice Admiral appeared. He looked over the group and nodded, "I see that you've all met. Hopefully, Major Rannick, the new members of your team will have sound judgement."
He paused and stepped to the side as the holoscreen on the wall turned on. After a moment where it focused, the image of a sand coloured planet appeared, with a couple of moon orbiting slowly, "Yesterday, we recieved word from Imperial Command on Coruscant. It seems that one of our deep cover agents has stolen a new prototype starfighter from a secret Rebel base. The location of the base is still unknown to us, as we have lost contact with our agent. The last transmission that was recieved indicated the agent was being tracked by several Rebel groups. As the starfighter had a tracking device in it, the agent was ambushed each time he escaped."
For a moment, the image of the planet shimmered, then the Vice Admiral motioned to the planet itself, "This is Tatooine, the last known location of our agent. He was supposed to meet with the local Moff to transfer the starfighter, but it seems that a group of Rebels caught up with him again and he was shot down. Though we know he crashed in the desert, we do not know the location. The Star Destroyer that patrols the system is already in orbit and the planet itself has been locked down. No ships have arrived or left since yesterday. We know the prototype and our agent is down on that planet.
"Your job is to find them both, if possible. Priority goes to the prototype fighter, but our agent is just as important. All of the resources of the planetary garrison will be at your disposal. Once you are dropped off, the fleet will be leaving as we have been assigned to track down the base that the prototype was stolen from. You will be reporting directly to the local Moff, who should be arriving soon after we do, adding another Star Destroyer to the planetary blockade.
"Any questions?"
