The sun rose in the gloomy pall of the early morning. Down below they assembled, and up above Karren stood, clad in her gray Galactic Alliance Flightsuit, this time with the Patches. One Read "Rogue Squadron, Rogue Eleven." Another read "Paladin."
Though these new troopers would know her by neither at this point. They were the most villainous, scummy, and downtrodden denizens of the Galaxy, gathered here for their single purpose. The purpose of redemption. As they filtered into the pad a cold wind whipped across the complex, rattling the climbing ropes.
Instructors moved into place before their platoons. four of them in exact precise order. She could already tell half were scared, as her stern gaze met each of theirs from up high. The Alliance flag ran up the pole for first call and raucous sound split the air.
She smirked and then glanced left at her meagre staff. It was a joint funded project, so they'd only spared one Alliance Officer. An old Grounder by the name of Talson Johnson. Red hair, with streaks of gray, a pressed gray uniform and dozens of ribbons. Karren might have felt naked next to him.
But this was his game. She was a Pilot for now. Until the first battle.
"What exactly are we hoping to accomplish here Paladin?"
She paused and then crossed her arms, one hand on her chin.
"Redemption Chief. I selected these folks from the lowest pits of hell. Prisoners, Vagabonds, Wanted men and poor folks. They all raised their hand when I offered them a chance to join the Alliance ranks for a penance."
"I don't like it. Scum with mercenaries for their drill instructors. What kind of army is this nowadays. I reckon the Sith-"
She held up her hand and shot him a stern gaze.
"The Sith have their means. We are not them. These are folks who are desperate for ten years of service in exchange for a full pardon and a Career Chief. That means they'll work extra hard. Fight extra hard."
"We have Fleet Marines y'know."
"I'm talking Light Infantry Chief. A counter to the Imperial forces surrounding both the CSA and GA. A counterpart that can stand toe to toe alongside the Antarian Rangers of the Silvers. The finest Light Infantry Unit in the Galaxy."
"You think this is feasible, with this lot?"
"They have hope Chief. Great deeds have been accomplished with far less."
"Hmphh."
She exited the Command tower, taking the lift to the drill pad and stepped out into the whipping winds, braid carried on the air. Both of her arms swinging in unison as she approached the Company. It was time to see how the Instructors were going to handle their first day.....
