[ ATTENTION: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ]

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

Hello. My name is General Wedge Antilles. I have been authorized by the command staff to reform a certain unit out of volunteers from among the crew. This unit is Rogue Squadron. Rogue Squadron is a starfighter squadron that will operate under the direction of the command crew in the defense of Stacy against the Ohm and any other hostile forces we encounter. The craft of choice for this unit will be the Incom T-65 X-Wing Space Superiority Fighter_{(xwinginfo.doc)}.

This unit will rely strictly on volunteers to fill its ranks. I will be taking candidates and putting them through several tests. Those with previous flight experience, of any kind, are preferred and will be given predence, but I will also be accepting those without, considering the limited pool of potential applicants. Training will be provided. If you do not meet the needs and requirements for actually flying, there are other positions within the squadron which you may be able to assist in if you're willing. Considering the broad variety of craft and people aboard, if there are other fightercraft aboard with which you have experience, please let me know.

However, if you volunteer and are accepted into the squadron, I ask that you remember several things. First, that Rogue Squadron is and has been an elite unit with an operational history stretching back to the attack on the first Death Star. As such, I expect and hope that all of you who join will conduct themselves in a manner befitting the squadron and New Republic Starfighter Command. Secondly, I want you to realize that by joining the squadron you are voluntarily placing yourself into the command structure aboard this ship. As a member of our impromptu military you will be expected to carry out orders promptly and directly and to follow the chain of command. Accordingly, I'll be inducting you into New Republic Starfighter Command as Flight Officers, with a possibility for promotion in the future.

When I believe I have enough candidates, there will be more information as it stands, here is our current roster, which will be updated as this continues.

EDIT: I cannot, at this time, accept volunteers under the age of sixteen.

I'm not exactly sure what a superhero is.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Basically I save a lot of people and stuff! Like, the universe! I've totally saved the universe! A buncha times!

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Well...come see me when you're sixteen and I might be able to find you a spot. Until then, I don't think I'd feel right putting you in the cockpit of starfighter.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Okay!

...wait.

How will I know? There are no calendars here!

It might be my birthday TODAY!

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I've no idea. Figure it out and get back to me.

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

Impulse, I've done some thinking. You'll be added to the roster as a backup pilot. You'll still need all the training the regulars receive though. Will that work for you?

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

REALLY?!?!?!? Yeah that's so cool! I'm gonna be a PILOT!

How fast to the planes go?

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

In atmosphere, about the speed of sound. Higher than that out of atmo or with deflector shields up in atmosphere.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

That's not too slow! How much faster? Can it get to light speed!?!?

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it can. The X-wing has a hyperdrive engine capable of moving it beyond the speed of light.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

THAT IS SO AWESOME! THESE AREN'T EVEN SLOW! I CAN'T EVEN GO THAT FAST!

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

The main problem being that we have to plot an exact course for the jump into hyperspace, otherwise we risk running into a star or other obstacle and getting little pieces of us and our snubfighters getting scattered across a couple light years.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah, that'd be kind of a problem. Though I could steer fast enough! I mean, I already run almost that fast! If the steering's fast enough, I could totally do it!

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

...You can react at the speed of light?

If that's true, I'm not sure the fighter could keep up with you...

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Yep! I'm faster than pretty much anyone! Wally's faster, I guess, but I'm totally gonna be faster than him when I grow up!

Most things can't. I'm used to it.
