First day on the job, Ceris wasn't sure what to expect. Now instead of being in command of 1 ship, she was in command of many. A whole fleet to herself! Which meant she got to make big girl decisions. As she sat in her seat of the command frigate, a junior officer plopped a giant stack of paperwork on her desk. "Here you go Admiral Odrosses." The stack was too tall to see over, so Ceris had to slide her chair to the side to look at the young lieutenant. "Are you serious?" she asked. "Yep!" The Lieutenant responded enthusiastically. "It's everything in the 7th fleet that needs your signature to be approved of."
Thus many hours and days past. Some papers were simply request to take leave. Others were requests to fix toilets and showers. There were a few important papers here and there, but most of it was redundant. Until a supply list sat directly in front of her eyes. "Well that's suspicious.... why are there old starfighters going to Dantooine instead of the shipyards to be scrapped?" Ceris leaned back in her chair for a second until it clicked "Ah... I see what it is now."
Ceris stepped out of her quarters and made her way up to the Bridge. "Attention on deck!" A young space-faring lad called out as soon as she stepped foot in the command room. "At ease everyone. All hands, make preparations for getting underway. Plot a course to Dantooine." Ceris couldn't help but Grind as she stared out the viewport. Was it crazy to send the entire fleet to one planet? Maybe. However, this would be a good chance to flex the might of the New Republic. Besides, maybe Dantooine would feel a bit safer if the New Republic showed up with some really big guns. After all preparations were made, the entire fleet made a hyperspace jump, traveling all the way through F.W.A. territory, eventually exiting just outside of Dantooine.
There was already a small defense force orbiting the planet. "A CR90 Corvette, some T-70s, and T-65s...." she muttered to herself. They were definitely products of the Core world. Realizing that their arrival probably made the small defense force shit themselves, Ceris ordered a junior officer to send a long range transmission to them. "This is Fleet Admiral Odrosses of the 7th Republic Fleet, do not fret, we've come for a visit." A few minutes passed before they received a response: "What for?" Ceris was a bit taken back at the fact they weren't immediately accepted. However, she knew that the rebels were on edge. "You seem to be using our old equipment. I am just curious how it got here." After further exchange, it was settled upon that they could fly down in a shuttle. Although, the rebels asked to keep our ships together instead of spread apart, fearful of being encircled.
In a single T-4A Lambda-Class Shuttle, Ceris and some troopers made their way down to the planet side spaceport. Looking out the window, Ceris could see the scars of battles on the planet, but the people seemed lively. The shuttle touched down and the ramp lowered, to which Ceris and her troops were immediately greeted..
