Dax looked around the Imperial Base on Corellia. The Carrier him and his Squadron were assigned to was in for repairs, and a slight systems refit. So they had a good 2 weeks R & R. He, being a Major had known about this for a good 2 months, and had been planning his defection ever since.
Dax had used to be a Professional level Swoop racer, and had allmost won the galactic championship, until the empire stuck their nose in and drafted him. He hated the empire and everything they stood for. And the fact that they didn't even have Dental pissed him right off. So, there he stood, hidden behind a large speeder, with his sidearm raised, ready to spin around and put a blaster bolt through the helmet of a scout trooper, on a swoop. Dax knew he could outrun them quite easily. And he intended to run to a contact he knew in the slums. He closed his eyes, controlled his breathing, and spun around, lining up the Imperial Sidearm with a shock troops pearly white helmet, and pulling the trigger. What happened next seemed to in slow motion.
The trooper fell of the swoop, and Dax took off in a sprint, red bolts flying asunder form the shocked shock troops, as he lept onto the swoop and screamed off. Three streaked off after him.
He purposefully took off into traffic, dodging and zig-zagging his way though the mire of speeders , not allowing the troopers to line up a shot. He hadn't ridden a swoop in over 10 years, but it was all coming back to him, and as it did, he pulled away from the badly trained troopers. He went in a slide into an intersection, narrowly missing a rather large speeder. He heard a satisfying "thunk" as one of the troopers slammed into the side of it, attempting to emulate his manuver, the other one narrowly managed to dodge his way through the traffic, before running into a fruit stand.
2 down, 1 to go.
Dax thought to himself, as he streaked along, dodging speeders and sometimes even going into oncoming traffic. The imperials weren't just angry that he had killed a trooper, no, it was that he was carrying strategic data on fighters, bombers, prototypes, ships, and other general tech that the empire did not want to disappear as it was about to. A blaster bolt narrowly missed his head, and impacted into a speeder near by him. He turned hard into a back alley, the trooper following his every move.
Dax dodged around the alley, turning down other ones , and back eventually onto the main street. He slid his swoop under a speeder and came up on the other side of it, hiding himself from the trooper who was follwing him. He eventually took off the opposite direction, towards the Imperial base. They would be out looking for him by sunrise, so he needed to lay low.
* half an hour later *
Dax had ditched the swoop and walked into a rather seedy Cantina in downtown Coronet. He looked around and found the man he was looking for. and sat down across from him.
So. How many?
The man asked.
300. Mabye more, mabye less.
He answered. It had begun. The skeleton crew on the Carrier would be easily overwhelmed. And an explosion that size would rip apart one of the main Imperial shipyards over Corellia.
((OOC: Dax is starting a rebellion. This will eventually link up with the jedi, but for now its a small time operation. ))
