Odin Weekly Squadron Report #3
Release Date: 07/27/1
The Imperial Star Destroyer GreyWolf hung in orbit around the planet Idevi,
with its many moons in the backdrop that made for a spectacular scene. This
new planet will be the ultimate test for the warriors of Wing XIII and the
Grey Wolf…
“Sir, the preliminary scans show nothing unusual. However there is one moon
that is emitting a strange encoded message. Our technicians will begin
deciphering the message immediately. Shall we detach a squadron to
investigate?”The Scanning Officer concluded.
“Yes, send Odin out to do a quickfly-by of the moon.” Khadgar said.
Captain Raxis shouted over the static of the comm. “This is Odin Leader to
Squad, form up and stay tight, we don’t want any surprises.”
As the eight Tie Interceptors and four Tie Advanced neared the moon's
surface, it came into view. A huge ship, kilometers in length, was sprawled
out in a valley, covered with vines andtrees.
“It must be ancient!” Lt Andrew exclaimed…
The Communication Officer approached the bridge and said to Khadgar, “Sir, we
have deciphered the message. It’s a little garbled.” And handed him a small
datacard.
“Good work” Khadgar said as heturned on the datacard’s play function.
“……Warning………-tay away fr-m thi--place or a---the galaxy—ill fe-l
their wraith………………”
Khadgar was silent for a moment,then said, “What the… tell Odin to get back
hear now! We are in big trouble.”
“Sithspit! Multiple incoming unknowns coming in at vector two-one-three-nine.
I count forty plus ships and fighters!” Lt Brian shouted,breaking the long
silence sense discovering the mammoth ship.
“Odin Lead to Grey Wolf, is there something we should know?” Raxis said.
Only static answered him.
“Orders Raxis.” Captain Saar said.
“We need to figure out what happened to the Grey Wolf. Follow me and keep
your eyes open.” Raxis replied.
“Incoming!” Lt Andrew shouted as streams of purple energy leaped at them.
“Evasive maneuvers!” Raxis said as he shot a quad burst right into one of
the fighters.
Outnumbered almost 4-to-one, the brave souls of the Grey Wolf battled against
perilous odds. The enemy ships,resembling A-Wings, but much larger, were now
a thick cloud of death that Odin must break through. The dogfight raged on,
with Lt Brian vaping six, Captain Raxis taking nine, Captain Saar scoring
seven, and Lt Andrew getting four.
An explosion rocked the Grey Wolf as the unknown capital ships continued to
pound her.
“Sir, we just lost contact with Odin Squadron, the unknown ships are jamming
us.” Said an officer.
“We have to get out of here, there is no way we can possibly take on a fleet
of that size!” Rear Admiral Khadgar said to his bridge crew. “Prepare for
the jump to hyper-space.” He said. “And hope to God Odin gets back hear
soon!”
“Sir, Odin Squadron is engaging forty-two fighters as we speak, they will try
to get back as soon as they can.”
“Captain, the Grey Wolf is entering hyper-space!” shouted Saar.
“Then let’s follow suit, everyone exit on the course zero-five-eight-seven.
We will have to analyze this new threat because we might be dealing witha
force to be reckoned with.” Raxis said softly.

After the fateful run-in with the unknown race at Idevi, the
Imperial Star Destroyer rendezvous with the rest of the Aggressor Strike
Force at Geive, where it has a chance to lick its wounds and tell its story
to the rest of the fleet.
“We must do something about this! Who knows what these…things…are capable
of. I move for immediate action by the entire ASF before it is too late!”
Rear Admiral Khadgar said to the assembled commodores, wing commanders, and
the Battle Group Commander, Vice Admiral Cyric. The murmurs of the assembly
quickly erupted into argument until Cyric spoke up. “Attention! I agree
with Khadgar that we need to take action soon, but as to what kind I have no
idea. It would be helpful to have more info about them before we decide
anything more.” Said Cyric.
Just then the Sensor Officer came into the briefing room. Cyric was about to
scold him when the warning claxons began to ring on the Grey Wolf. “Sir, the
unknown ships, they have just exited from hyper-space!
Cyric said to the gathering ofofficers, “Get to your ships and prepare your
fighters, this doesn’t look good.”
Out of the hangerbay of the Grey Wolf came 72 fighters, likewise
with the Vanguard and Intrepid. Odin squadron flew at the middle of the
pack, closing on the unknown fighters and capital ships.
“Ok pilots, we don’t know the real size of their fleet or anything
else about them. If the opportunity arises, disable one of the fighters or a
cruiser.” Cyric said into the comm.
As the two clouds of fighters neared each other, multiple red
streaks shot towards the unknowns. They soon made the short 2.5klicks and
impacted on the hostile fighters, destroying most, crippling others.But a
moment later the other group of fighters opened up with their purple lasers.
Having a greater range as the ASF ships, their first volley caught everyone
off guard and they destroyed four tie interceptors.
“Stay sharp guys, they have us outgunned. We’ll just have to out
fly them.” Captain Raxis said as he blew away a fighter and quickly scanned
for a near-by target.
“Got a fighter on me!” said LT Brian as he jinked and rolled to
dodge the fighters deadly energybolts.
“I’m coming.”replied LT Andrew as he veered towards LT Brian’s
tie interceptor and the strange fighter trailing it.
The two massive clouds now became one, and it was almost impossible to
distinguish ships among the carnage.
When it was all over, the ASF lost 13 ships and the unknown fleet
had been driven off.
“Good news, Sir. From the data we gathered out of the captured
fighters and capital ships, this race is the Rakasha. The best news is that
we have deciphered a hyper-coordinate from one of the cruisers’ computer.
It’s within our range. Shall we set course for the system?” asked an
officer.
Vice Admiral Cyric thought for a moment, “Very Well, inform the
Intrepid, Vanguard, and the rest of the Fleet.”
Within a few minutes the three mighty ships jumped into the unknown regions.

Final Thought this week...
With the inspiration from Wes Janson, Brian has come up with a new idea that I am most pleased with. Just last night he sent me a BSF Bomb of 6 BSFs for me to do. Not only did it make my job easier to organize, it got me through all the pilot files faster than I normally do when im just doing two at a time. Dont be afraid to do these. if youd like, fly however many battles durring the week, then put them all in a big zip, and send em on over thursday night and ill put them all in for you. Ill make sure theyre all on time as well. Im more than welcome and excited to see such an idea in use by my squadron. Good luck guys!
