Jorm rolled a 6.

What did he need?

You'll find out once the commandos try the codes 12th Wing's getting.

I'm thinking we might want to arrange some sort of test of the codes just before we send in the commandos.

Are we at the party, or do we ship out again at once?

The codes were never spoofed, actually. I've edited the last post in "BEst-Laid Plans" to reflect that. You guys should be fine. As for the party, everyone except Dutch and Jorm who wish to be there may attend.

After the briefiing, and any duties that result from it, Jorm is going to

1. Get some sleep.
2. See about wrangling a ship's hull for his little project. Possibly going to a "junkyard" to see what he can find.

There's no sleep yet. You've gotta head BACK out AGAIN to milk-run the shuttles to the commandos. You may be disappointed, angry, happy, or not care as befits your outlook on these things. Later on, you'll probably go a few days with nothing to do and Mandall (at the very least) will be climbing up the walls for a mission.

That's fine. Then Jorm will help the techs get the shuttles ready to go and gather up whatever crew they will need. Will there be an escort? If so, who wants to flying escort?

Jorm has no problem being a shuttle jockey as long as someone's got a spot for him on the ride back.

Calsera is happy to fly escort, but she wants an X-wing this time. Enough with the lumbering tanks!

Dutch will be able to get one wound healed before flight time. That'll leave him at 6/8 Wounds - the rest'll have to be healed by either a few days of rest or several hours floating in a bacta tank.

As far as ships go, you have any number of X-Wings, NO Y-Wings (They are removing non-vital components from a good one to fix the broken one you brought back), the one B-Wing, the Dagger of course, and an A-Wing (since 8th Wing is back from their recon flight). There is also one TIE Advanced (with a hyperdrive), also from 8th Wing. Problem is, whoever pilots the shuttles needs a ride back - that probably means you'll be taking the Dagger out again, with various people cherry-picking snubfighters?

Can the B-Wing (a 2 seater) be combat piloted (flying and shooting) with just one person?

Yep. The bonus to having a second person is that the pilot can fly and shoot AND the gunner can still fire their weapon all in the same turn.

I'm taking the TIE, but could we steal a TIE Interceptor some time? Mandall Daygon doesn't need no stinking shields, you know.

So we could go as follows:

To
Shuttles: Jorm/Other Person
B-Wing: Pilot Only
Dagger: Arnae and Aurelia

From
B-Wing: Pilot and Jorm/Other Person
Dagger: Arnae, Aurelia, Jorm/Other Person

Problem with the TIE Interceptor is that it lacks hyperdrive. Same goes for the TIE bombers and fighters.

Nuts. Still, TIE.

(They should have made a Hyperdrive module for the TIE interceptor. Hey, Obi-Wans little thingie had one.

Just sayin'.)

Anybody think Cat should take the A-wing instead of an X?

I do!

Am I correct in understanding that the A-wing is faster, but the X-wing has more firepower and better defenses?
