Present: Keeg, Ranna, and Dwyer travelling with the NRS 311487 Centurion's Sword a Modified YT-1300 Assault Freighter Captain by the Nemodian LT Harli Morrow.
Keeg and Dwyer give a wide berth to the heavily damaged YT-1300 Kryat Dragonand it's crew working on the ship in the Domaz spaceport. They approached a YT-1300 that looks like it it is new off the assembly line. A Nemodian in NR Officer uniform walks down the ship's ramp. He stops and pulls a small kerchief from his pocket. Wiping the rail down he then continues to the three pilots.
"Greetings pilots the Sword will be your transport to the Kotal II jump point. There the Jal Mothma will be providing three replacement fighters for you." He motions to the ramp.

"Deltas! Your giving us Deltas! You might as well give us TIE fighters you gorram muck sucking piece of bantha ...." Ranna's string of artistic expressions is a long one.
When she finishes the Nemodian continues,"The Delta 7B Aethersprite Light Interceptor is a legendary vessel. It helped win the Clone Wars and with it's hyperspace docking ring is a fully capable long range fighter."
"It's legendary because it is a hundred year old design. They don't even have torpedoes."
"They are incredibly maneuverable."
"THey don't even have aft shields." Ranna complains. "my pilots will never fly these hunks of junk."
Ranna turns has she hears Keeg's exclaimation of joy,"This is the Blade of Dorin. This fighter was piloted by Plo Koon" Keeg is sitting in the cockpit of the white and blue striped vessel.
Ranna looks at the old wedge shaped ships. She looks over the datapad LT Morrow offers with specs of each ship,"These are heavily modified Delta fighters and they are all we have."
GRJSF 1207 The Blade of Dorin a blue and white Delta with additional shielding fore and aft (shield 2 fore and aft)
GRJSF 1103 The Dancing Blade red green and yellow Delta with speed of 6 and +3 handling
GRJSF 1203 The Blade of the Deep maroon with light green emblem on the hull Delta with special underwater modifications and grapple hook.
She looks at the fourth delta starfighter in the bay.
GRJSF 1000 The Shimi yellow and grey Delta with shields 2 fore and aft, 6 speed, +3 handling, and additional modifications giving the astrodroid more ability to control ship's piloting and gunnery.
"Give us all four and you have a deal." Ranna offers.
"If it will stop your complaints take it." LT Marrow shakes her head. "humans."

"Keeg, That is enough." Ranna states over the coms.
Keeg spirals around Ranna and Dwyer's fighters. His yellow and grey fighter making maneuvers a TIE fighter would envy.
The Centurion's Sword follows the three fighters to the Gas Giant. "The tech geeks sitting around the equipment in my hold are all twittering like a flock of myr birds." Marrow calls over the comm systems."They say the disturbances are not a natural occurrence. I say thanks for the obvious. They have identified an object near the core of the giant."
"Can we get it out?" Ranna asks.
"There is no way a we can dive into a gas giant and survive. Tractor beams are ineffective. Whatever it is should be crushed by the gravity." Marrow states,"We can't even destroy it."

Coms light up with a message from the FarStar. Lilith relays that the FarStar is moving to Gandle Ott and the fighter wing will rendezvous with them at Gandle Ott ASAP.
"We will need to solve this mystery another day,"Marrow sends to the fighters,"The task force is scrambling to Oon Tien. From what little I'm being told we could be breaking up Sarne's party before it gets started. Fly High and Shoot Straight Ranna."
"Fly Low and Stay Safe Marrow, You still owe me from our sabaac game." Ranna smiles and begins to punch up astrogation.
Marrow sends the final Delta out with an R2 unit controlling it. The four ships begin the journey toward the jump pint and Gandle Ott.

Ranna 36 hours in the Delta cockpit. The X-Wing is not a roomy cockpit by any stretch and she and Keeg will have far more room that the long legged Dwyer but it still was not comfortable. It also was not hers. It did not have her favorite pillow, her plushies, her data crystal of her favorite holodramas. She did not even have her sabaac deck or her favorite flask with her. All in all this jump was going to be a big steaming pile of rancor poodoo.
