Twogunkid Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 “We must scatter the fleet.” A grumbling went up at the rebel council meeting. “Our only recourse is surrender.” More agitated grumblings went up in the meeting. “Are we really talking about disbanding something we’ve worked so hard to create.” Bail Organa, Senator of Alderan, piped up. He was a respected member of the rebel alliance even if his planet did not offer much military aid. “We can’t just give in” Admiral Raddus added to the dissent. The Death Star issue and the destruction of Jedha and Saw Guerrera’s partisans had rattled the ramshackle alliance. Grand Admiral Thrawn’s destruction of General Dodona’s fleet and the demise of Phoenix Squadron was still fresh in all of their minds. Within moments the collection of diplomats, idealists, senators, and freedom fighters was in disarray when a loud whistle drew everyone’s attention. It was the newly promoted General Syndulla, one of the greatest pilots the alliance had and one of the few survivors of Phoenix Squadron. “We don’t need to steal these plans with overwhelming force. Subtlety will do the trick just as well.” The green twi’lek commanded respect like her father Cham Syndulla before her. “Using stolen Imperial Transports and false transponder codes a small team could infiltrate and obtain the technical data for the base, and I have just the team in mind.” She made a broad gesture to the end of the meeting room where an elderly clone was wearing an Imperial Stormtrooper’s uniform. “Captain Rex has plenty of experience infiltrating and Alexsander Kallus has valuable intel mined from the Inquisitorius’s spy network.” Kallus stepped forward. Most of the Alliance was uneasy around the former ISB agent, but he placed the data cylinder in the terminal and decided to let the footage speak for itself. There on the Inquistior’s data planet was a jedi fleeing Darth Vader, and not just one jedi. Two of them. “We have obtained the Transponder codes for this ship and were in contact with them. The plan for them to join a new Jedi Order on Lothal became…” Kallus tried to choose his words carefully as both Ezra Bridger and Kannan Jarrus were lost to the Rebellion recently “derailed by Grand Admiral Thrawn.” Murmuring went around the room. Phoenix Squadron had eliminated the Seventh Fleet and the fearsome Grand Admiral Thrawn without much help from the larger rebellion. “Cal Kestis and Captain Rex will infiltrate the Imperial facility and obtain the plans disguised as Imperial Stormtroopers. They then will exfiltrate and rendezvous with the Ghost near Dantooine.” Sensing there was still opposition, Hera moved quickly for a vote which narrowly passed. She thought it mainly because Rex and the remains of Phoenix Squadron were seen as damaged goods by the rest of the Rebel Alliance. Above Scarriff, Cal pondered his lot. He had survived Vader, but that was about it. Now he was here, ready to participate in a major rebellion. It seemed unwise, but Cere, Merrin, and Grez had put faith in him. The Imperial cargo transport was cleared to land. Rex had been quiet. Cal was unsure about trusting a clone, but this one seemed to be on his side. Then again, so had all the other ones. As Rex transmitted the code, Cal removed his Poncho for the Imperial Stormtrooper’s garb that was to be his disguise and readied himself for the challenge ahead. BD-1 and Chopper beeped and whirred in their new Imperial Paint Schemes sitting ready to slice the data they would need. As the shuttle set down Cal felt a shutter, he looked above as he, Rex, and the droids exited and saw a TIE Reaper setting down on an inner landing platform, the chill he felt was like that of the Purge Troopers he felt before. This suddenly seemed like it would be more difficult than expected. So, can Cal, Rex, Chopper, and BD-1 steal the Death Star Plans with their added reinforcement of Purge Troopers?

Mercenaryblade Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Nice match idea! I think Cal, Rex, and the droids can pull this off. Even if Rex isn't as spry as he used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boratz Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Nice work! At first I was struggling with who to vote for. After thinking about Cal and everything in Fallen Order, it is definitely easy to say that he would win with ease, but this scenario is different to me. The scenario at the end or Rogue One was almost an inescapable situation. The crew had find a way to get the codes off Scariff and they did. They all died, but they got the codes off the planet and into the hands of the Rebels So thinking about this in the sense of replacing the Rogue One crew with these characters, I'd say they have a shot if not greater. By this point Cal should be more powerful in the Force and skilled as a fighter. While still not Vader level, I think he'd be able to get in and find the codes. Rex might he older; but where his age has slowed him down, his skill should make up for. Chopper and BD will definitely help in the different situations that they come across. They may not make it off Scariff alive, but they should be able to get the codes to the Rebel alliance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaguy2995 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Good job with the write up @Twogunkid. Props to you! Cal and Rex got this. I’ve played Jedi Fallen Order and I know for a fact Cal can run through Purge Troopers and the like as easy as pie! Adding even an old Rex makes this an easy win!
