Evan looked sadly towards Kessel, as he hypered out of the system. Although the people left there, were "criminals, the Empire's definition of criminal could hardly be considered similar to the Rebellion's. Many of them probably would have joined the Rebel Alliance. It was sad to leave them behind, but that was just one more reason why the Rebellion would never give up and, in the end, The Empire would fall. Nevertheless, the misson had been a sucess. Many Rebels had been rescued, and would soon be put back to duties far and wide. The green TIEs on station had been ripped apart and the small Imperial task force destroyed. Evan's newer pilots had gotten used to fighting with their squadrons. It was indeed a great sucess. As Evan sat in his cockpit, his throughts wavered. For a few moments he thought of new tactics, and of his pilots. Then his thoughts focused on his homeworld. It was small planet called Naritus, on the edge of the rim. It was of little importance and so the Empire had ignored it. He thought of his childhood friend, Evahe, who he had tried to convince to join the Alliance with him. Nevertheless, he had refused. Soon he came out of hyperspace, back in Orath. He moved his craft towards the asteroids. It was just another routine day of raids. *** Evan looked at his hand. He had nothing, but he was going to attempt to bluff his way out of the game. The pilots relaxed and enjoyed the game of sabac. It was rare that they got the chance to rest, so they used each opportunity to the fullest. They had deserved it, so many sucessful raids and doubtlessly bigger things to come. Evan looked at the three other pilots. Two, a new pilot. Three had been in the squadron since Mon Calamari. Four had been there since the beginging of the war. Suddenly his comlink beeped. So much for time to rest...
