As Riko entered the Spectre gunship, he couldn't help but notice the wonderful modifications the Shadow Forces had made on the gunship. The ship was truly impressive. Riko never understood technical readouts and information, but it didn't take a technical genious to know that this gunship was at state of the art. This ship also brought many memories. It made Riko remember the beginning of the battle on Mon Calamari, how they had almost shot down that unknown pilot which turned out to be a Sith Lord. The Jedi Master was happy he would be fighting alongside Osman once again. Riko remembered all the fights he fought in the battles he fought alongside the General, rembering as if he had fought them only yesterday. Riko knew full well that the battle to come would be vastly different from the ones he fought before, but Riko had also changed. His skills had grown a thousandfold since the battle of Coruscant. Riko was ready for whatever challenge would come his way. This General Zoth had to be defeated at all costs, and Riko was more than willing to bring him to justice. One day, Riko knew that peace would reign again, and that the galaxy would once again return to normal. He couldn't help thinking that this war had turned the Jedi from peace-keepers into soldiers, thinking with their lightsabres rather than their minds. This had to end, and soon. Riko had lost many friends in this war. He wasn't willing to lose more.
The Jedi walked over to the cockpit and leaned over to the pilot.
[glow=blue,2,000]I think it is time to take off.[/glow]
The pilot nodded in agreement. Even he knew that it was time for action, not to mention he seemed eager to go into combat once more. He was one of the original SKS, the best of the best. This would be just another battle to him, just another game of dejarik.
Yes sir.
The pilot pushed several controls on the cockpit and the SPevtre began to lift off and blast into space toward Naboo.
**move to Naboo**

A low rumble shook the very air as a mass of metal entered the atmosphere, its three LF9 ion engines growling and rumbling as it came through a layer of clouds slowly. Rarely was anything so large seen in atmospheric flight unless it was heavily damaged and coming in to crash, but this ship was most deffinately keeping it's flight level with a slight decent through the layer of clouds. It was a Victory class star destroyer, distinct with it's two forward observation stations and the communications tower over the bridge between the shield generators. Four of the newer TIE Defenders roared past the bridge and down the length of the hull, flying in tight formation as they screamed along the surface. Odd that it did not have any other form of fighter escort in a known rebel territory. Neither did it seem to open fire with any of it's large turbo-laser batteries. It actually seemed to be attempting to open a communications signal on an open channel.
"Attention all units of the Alliance in this area! We have transmitted our clearence code and are now entering your atmospheric defense range. Do not open fire. This is the 'RVSD Rogue'. Requesting escort and permission to land. We request an audience of all pilots interested in forming a task force to Coruscant. Please respond."
The massive ship came closer to the outskirts of the capital city, drawing closer to the water outside the city, slowly coming down, gun batteries allert for any incounters in case their landing is denied. The water was suddenly sent up in waves as the massive repulsars were activated, keeping the 'Rogue' a good distance from the surface of the water, the engines slowly growling down as their blue glow began to fade out. It simply hovered there outside the city, awaiting any ships to join who may be interested. On the bridge a man paced back and forth. He was eager to see weather he would be welcomed with his great capture from the KDY, or fired upon by ships and atmospheric defenses for flying an imperial ship. Either way he didn't have the pilots to fly a full fighter escort, or the experienced technicians to fly this ship to her full potential. He was really undermanned for a ship of this size.. only taking the bare minimum of what he needed on the wing of shuttles to capture this ship.
A younger man in his dirty camoflage uniform with his hair messy with sweat and his laser rifle slung over his shoulder came running up. They were all still in their assault uniforms. "Commander Kaar! We've put her down on the outskirts of the city and have sent out signals to all the ships in the area to request escorts and ships for a task force. We've also contacted the barracks in the area requesting extra personel who specialize in shipboard operations and could help us fly her." the young Lt. said with a salute. Commander Jinn Kaar smiled and nodded. "Good Lieutenant... Keep as many guns as you can alert incase we have trouble... But keep sending those signals out too!" Kaar ordered and the young marine saluted before running back down the corridor. Kaar looked back out the massive viewport to the city. "Let's just hope we get a positive reaction to our presence..." he said to himself quietly.

It seemed there were no responses over the radio as four Lambda class shuttles dropped out of the hanger and dropped their wings down, roaring to the Naval barracks to pick up the personell they were promissed. The remaining four TIE defenders roared around the ROGUE in a defensive pattern. She was a prized ship and a good capture from the KDY. Commander Kaar waited impatiently for the response from the ground. If nothing was given before he was done picking up naval crew who could better pilot this ship he would take her to Naboo as soon as she was done loading up and all the men were in position. He would feel much more comfortable having a full fighter escort for this slow ship, not to mention having all of her guns up and running. The mechanics could repair the little damage done to the deflector shields by the TIE fighters sent after them in their escape. If an introdictor had been present, there would have been no escape and they would have been tried as pirates by the Imperial Courts.
"SIR!" The Lt. said as he ran up again, his combat boots thudding against the metal plated floor.
"Yes. Lieutenant?" Kaar said in reply as he turned to the young Lt.
"The first shuttle load of shipmen have come in. The rest will be her ein a matter of minutes. We are awaiting your further orders." said the Lt.
"As soon as the last shuttle load is in go pick up the rest of them men needed to fly this thing efficiently. Then get us out of here and set a course for the mid rim." Kaar responded
"Mid rim sir? Any specific destination?" The LT asked with apuzzled expression.
"Naboo, Lieutenant. We're going to Naboo. Inform all fighter pilots to get set the same course. I only want hyperspace capable units as an escort for now... That means the TIE Defenders we captured and the E-wings that we're currently loading up. Keep me informed on our status. I'll keep waiting for a response from anybody out there. If they come along they can join us at Naboo for a quick briefing. I'm sure that they would enjoy the scenery as well..." Kaar orderd.
The Lt. smiled and saluted and turned and ran back down the corridor. The commander looked back out the window and waited for any announcement from his Comm chief in case any others were interested in joining, or from the young man reading the sensor readouts for any incoming hostiles. Kaar was still unsure as to what kind of response he would get for having an Imperial ship here. He just hoped everybody got his transmission. He watched the four TIE Defenders roar past the viewport. Magnificent new fighters. He could see the E-Wings roaring towards them... He had the most advanced fighters for this slow old ship. But she was just what he needed for performing landings and giving a large ammount of fire support. He smiled. Everything was working out fine.

Still no transmissions as to others wanting to join in. Kaar shook his head as the last of the shuttle loads of shipmen were loaded onto the ship, all of them rushing to their stations. The last shuttle came into the hangar bay and slowly folded its wings up, the gear coming out and the ramp coming down as it fired its retros and landed softly on the flight deck. Men in their rebel uniforms ran down the ramp and scattered, rushing into the corridors and to their preassigned stations. Some of them ran off to TIE Defenders and fired up their ion engines, causing a loud roar to fill the hangerbay as they lifted slowly off the deck and slowly fell over the edge of the flightdeck and sped into formation as the circled the massive ship, joingint he formations of E-Wings already circling and making runs on the ROGUE. Overall there were 12 TIE Defenders and 12 E-Wings circling the massive ship. The Lt. ran through the corridor and into the turbolift, speeding his way up to the bridge and running out as soon as the door opened. He came to a sliding halt behind Commander Kaar and saluted. "Sir!"
Kaar turned around and smiled, pleased by the sight of fighters making their runs along the ship and the turbolaser batteries being reported as fully functional and then mechanics were quickly working on fixing the damage done to the shields.
"We're loaded up and we're ready to go, no incoming transmissions besides a few questions as to our purpose here and the local barracks making sure all our men were getting here safely. What are your orders?" The young Lt asked.
"Change of plans. Naboo is still too high profile. We're going to Kashyyk. Inform all the fighters and get us out of here." Kaar ordered as his team of commandoes were relieved by trained shipmen. They all stood and looked out the viewport as the Lt. ran back to execute his orders. The ship slowly began to rumble and moan to life as the glow in the massive ion engines was ignited. The repulsars powered up as the Victory Class Star Destroyer ROGUE slowly began to rise up, aproaching the clouds and leaving the city. As it climbed out of the atmosphere it gained the coordinates it needed and shot off ina flash of light, quickly joined by the surrounding fighters who zipped off after it.
