Republic Territories for system defense, convoy escort and pirate

Two Dark Jedi piloted
squadrons of specialized starfighters are being developed/retrofitted for Clan Alvaak to
protect both its interests on Aurora Prime and also to help guard the Aurora System.
These squadrons will consist of Black Omega Squadron (piloting the
slower, older but very solid Cloakshape Fighter) and Sentinel Squadron
(piloting the sleek and stealthy TIE Phantom Fighter). Both Squadrons are stationed
aboard the Torpedo Sphere Empress
Teta, which is currently undergoing retrofit to allow housing of the 24 pilots and
their support personnel and materials. These pilots are not only Dark Jedi, but also some
of the best trained Starfighter pilots in the Territories.

Clan Alvaak Base of
Operations
The Fleet Commander often makes sorties to the
Torpedo Sphere Empress Teta to
personally supervise construction and retrofit operations. It is also rumored that
the Torpedo Sphere has had its torpedoes removed so as to allow the installation of a
specially designed Axial Superlaser (like that used on the SSSD Sovereign) and several dozen
smaller turbolaser batteries for defense. Although not as powerful as the original
Deathstar weapon and smaller, the axial equipped Torpedo Sphere Empress Teta would add a
powerful offensive weapon to the Emperor's Hammer arsenal. Each blast of the Axial
Superlaser could sear an entire continent on an unsuspecting enemy planet. It
is estimated that these retrofits will be complete in several months. For detailed
statistics on the Clan Starfighters (Cloakshape and TIE Phantom) and the Torpedo
Sphere Empress Teta, as excerpted from the West End Games Imperial and Dark Empire
Role Playing Game (RPG) Sourcebooks, it is recommended that the
Fleet Manual be
reviewed.
