There are many hundreds of small Rebel outposts all across the galaxy. Most of them small, autonomous organizations working towards the greater goal of the more organized whole. After Yavin and the destruction of the Death Star, many hundreds more began to appear, and whole planets rioted against the Empire. Some, such as the Mon Calamari, even completely overthrowing the Empire from control of their world.
The base you are stationed at is not, however, one of the smaller outposts. Deep within the Roche Asteroid Field on the well traveled Perlemian Trade Route, the facility is a network of many large asteroids that are artificiallly linked together. While the majority of the base is a research facility where the insectoid Verpine work on a new, and very top secret, starfighter design, your unit is also stationed at the facility for both defense and its proximity to both the Core Worlds and many important Outer Rim planets.
While it has been quiet for the past few months, currently you have been called to the main briefing room by the Commander of the military compliment of the base, a human named Jac Derlin. After waiting for you to be seated, he motions to a small, somewhat outdated holoscreen on the far wall of the room. On the screen, a stock image of a green planet appeared.
"This is Carida," Commander Derlin said in his usual gruff voice, "As many of you know, it is home to the Imperial Army Academy and the Stormtrooper Training Academy," the image of the planet expanded, zooming in on a section of the northern part of the planet. From a high orbit view, most likely, a large amount of buildings could be seen all across the surface.
Derlin's expression became a bit softer than usual, "We have recieved a transmission from a group of academy trainers and trainees that wish to defect. Now, we have taken the upmost caution with this request, and it has been validated by many technical readouts and secret Imperial documents that the three trainers transmitted to us. The last transmission we recieved was just under a standard hour ago. The group has sealed themselves within one of the underground buildings. They were last surrounded by the base's compliment of troops and there is word of another fleet group on its way."
The map zoomed back out to the planet view, "No matter how crazy this may sound, your mission is to get in and get out with as many of the defectors as possible. We will be sending you in with a small fleet group to keep the main defense fleet busy while you get to the planet's surface. We have been provided with the structural plans of the base, and will provide them to you for analysis in the best entrance option."
The screen changed again, this time displaying three images, each of Imperial Officers, "These three men are the trainers, and the highest priority. On the right is Captain Talious Nement, the center Corporal Arik Kardon, and the left is a former ISB agent named Garn Derlin...my brother. We need the information they have. You will need to prepare to leave immediatly...however, before that, do you have any questions?"
