This item is related to the following unit:


The galaxy is at peace, the Emperor’s Hammer continues to lay down order and protect the galaxy. The Imperial Star Destroyer, Hammer, sends their TIE Pilots out on routine patrols keeping an ever vigilant eye out on ne'er-do-wells. Commander Genie, a tall blue chiss officer of Lambda Squadron, sporting a fashionable goatee, begins to issue orders to his squadron.

“Gentlemen, as you know, we have done an excellent job of maintaining order in our territories. Captain Ranger and Captain Gytheran, Admiral Phoenix requests that we continue our patrol efforts in Ullyr space to ensure there are no opposing forces around our listening post. Now, while there may not be much action going on during these patrols, it is important to remember that your job is to report any activity. Do not engage at any cost without a direct order. Please head to the hangar, a shuttle is waiting for you.” says Genie.

Both pilots head from the lambda quarters to the hangar. Inside the hangar awaits an Imperial Lambda shuttle, a large white ship with folded wings. They board the shuttle and strap in, as they prepare to be shuttled to an awaiting Arquitens.

“Hey Gyth, you know what I've been wondering? Why don’t we just take a TIE Fighter to our patrol point, wouldn’t that be faster?” asks Ranger as he looks at the yellow eyed Jawa.

“Heh, that would make sense wouldn’t it? But the thing is, our TIEs dont have a hyperdrive system. We’d never make it back to base if that was the case, utiini!” says Gytheran.

“Huh, you’re a clever Jawa aren't you pal? I guess that does make sense. Oh hey, we’re almost at the Arquitens.” says Ranger.

The duo disembark the Lambda shuttle and head to their TIE fighters. Gytheran checks his enviro suit which is under his tan Jawa robes to make sure everything is in working order. Ranger looks over to Gytheran and gives him a nod as they both enter their TIEs.

“Pre flight check, systems look good, controls are ready. Alright, I’m ready for launch. You good Gytheran?” asks Ranger over the communication system.

“Utiini!! Let’s do this.” yells Gytheran.

Gytheran immediately launches out of the hangar like a bat out of hell, Ranger follows his cohort in tow. The two pilots head towards the listening post and begin their patrol mission.

“Man, what a view. So that's Ullyr huh? It’s so green…and…blue. I heard there's wookies that live there too.” notes Ranger.

“I heard that too, maybe that’s where Wookie’s family lives.” says Gytheran.

The duo spend some time patrolling the area for a good time until…
