Mission Summary
Audio transcripts from the events of the night of 240504 are scattered. Where a clearer sequence of events has been pieced together, analysis will be presented in place of direct transcription.
All hands, all hands, this is [unintelligible] priority flight. I repeat, all hands to stations for a priority flight.
Equipment logs show the squad was composed of 16 pilots. Though there are some discrepancies, it appears that all mission supplies were accounted for after a sortie retrieved a wookiee and the ambassador. The initial flight out had some rough patches, as you can tell in these excerpts
Space whale! Space whale!
Where?
Directly across our trajectory!
Exit hyperspace, we'll work our way around it
Gold leader, gold five, multiple empire sympathizers clogging the spacelane
Gold leader actual acknowledges. Do not engage, adjust course and maintain speed
Depot logs show the fleet refueled at Luna 7-11 before beginning the second asteroid belt run, and it appears that this is where life support issues were discovered. The wookiees noted it as not a threat to the mission, since the only impact was disrupted sonic disruption during turbulence events
From after action reports, we know that the squad arrived to the primary mission area, and quickly set about engaging in the planned duels. There was not any derbying detected. It is suspected that the proximity to a steep hyperspace gradient into dense nebula was a primary detractor, along with periodic transport traffic. The positioning of the rally point allowed the squad to collect data on nearby heavy nebular and heavy hyperspace transport routes for some time, before an ST patrol informed Gold Leader Grog that we were not in Vegas or New Orleans.
Before leaving the range of the mission area, Wombat doubled back under silent running and successfully retrieved the AT-AT plans.
The return flight delved into unfamiliar territory, with only 2 notable events from the logs. A group of civilians appear to have confused the fleet with a local dining establishment, and attempted to order food, unsuccessfully, and Wombat valiantly rescued a civilian's protocol droid that had been dropped in a sequence of high fives.
Mission is recorded as failure, though with no pilots fed to sarlac pit.
Medals of Chic were awarded to Vomit (Princess Leia), Grog (X-Wing Pilot), and Skunk (overgrown Jawa).
