Osseriton Undisclosed Base
"Eagle Teta Omega"
It was an old Galactic Republic naval code, once used as a call command to notify republic ships to move towards a rally point. It was an apt battle cry. Using a republic frequency not used in many a galactic cycle, the call command was broadcast across the galaxy. Those who had once served for the republic would recognize it, and for an old remnant like Synthia Fellstarr her hope was that it would re-ignite a flame. An old but, not extinguished flame - that of true democracy and brotherhood. Just like in the old days those who flew the banner of the republic and democracy hopefully would rally to the point hidden in the call command - Osseriton. Osseriton was an inconsequential Unknown Region world, but, it was temperate and green. In an old traders depot now bought and refurbished as a naval forward-operations-base (FOB), the last remnants of the republic, those who wished to see true citizenry and democratic ideals preserved began to gather and form a fleet. Ships salvaged from the republic or private forces began to coalesce above the atmosphere over Osseriton.
Looming over the entire congregation of ships, was the main star destoyer base for the fledgling fleet named Neo-Home One or NH1, after the legendary MC-80 Headquarters Frigate of old during the Rebellion. The NH1 was essentially an antique retro-fitted with better armaments from the days of the decades defunct galactic republic. It was a Valiance Class Star Destroyer. It was also the seat of Admiral Synthia Fellstarr, veteran of the Republic and until now, a vagabond mercenary naval commander.
Synthia sat in NH1's astrogation room at the center galactic map projection table. The disc shaped table was projecting a galactic scan with current occupations by currently active regimes. Synthia was wearing her blue admiral's tunic with rows of double-breasted buttons down her chest. Her admiral's beret was slanted to one side. She was resting her chin in the palm of her hand, with its elbow planted on the table. Ghostly planets bathed in shimmering blues flew around the room as Synthia manipulated the holo-projection commands.
She had no idea who would turn up. Besides, the few business interests that contacted her earlier about contracts to supply the fleet with ships and financial support, she was in the dark about who would actually turn up to enlist in the fleet. Taking in a deep breath she shut off the projection. She stood up and marched her way to the bridge. Her black boots played echoing melodies as she entered.
An operations officer, Ops, calls to Synthia as she passes them by.
"Admiral, we are ready for deployment." he says.
Synthia halts and turns to nod at the ops officer. "Signal all vessels to make landfall towards the FOB coordinates."
"Aye mam" the Ops officer replies.
Synthia looks out into space and the various mismatch of ships, she takes in a deep breath and exhales from her flared nostrils while maintaining a grim stare.
"Well....here goes nothing."
