[u][b]Unknown Region Border[/b][/u] [i]Viscount Star Defender: Independence[/i] Sorus sighed as he went over the reports again. "So we are now at war, Resistance joins the Republic and we now have to fight with barely any intel on what were up against." The Admiral groaned, his ship buzzed having gone from skeleton crew to full staff and troop complement he had plenty of requests coming in. He shoved the tablet away and began going over things, first he was waiting for his fleet to arrive in sector. Then he had to wait for intelligence on the next Imperial convoy. Lastly he had to log reports every three hours by Admiral Iblis's request. X-wings practiced formations outside the ship as they continued to train pilots. The's holonet connection was rather annoying since it meant that they could receive signals from command quickly it was useful for co-coordinating things. However between all his commanders needing reports and the paper work out new crew he felt like more like a desk jockey than a captain. He'd assigned most of it to Commander Thara to take care of only typing what he had to, he slipped out and grabbed his paints. Heading down to the observation deck he began to paint the stars before them, the view out of the window. He planned to wait each ship of his fleet as they arrived putting the fighter pickets and such around them. This painting would one day hang on Coruscant, perhaps even be stolen by art thieves to be sol to some rich king or warlord. People would want the painting because of what it meant, it would stand for Phoenix fleet striking at the New Order and proving that they could defeat anything that stood against the Republic. This painting would show the ships that formed the fleet that struck back against this deplorable New Order and all it stood for.
