Sitting upright in his seat, Jai waiting patiently for his results. Although reluctant, Jai was confident in his work and knew he would pass his final evaluation. It wasn't a moment later until he received a ping on his datapad with the results. 'PASS' in all capital letters, eager to learn of his next step, he felt a relief lift off of his shoulders. Wanting to tell the news to his parents, he received a new notification to report to an observation deck for order assignment, so as if not to waste any time, Jai stood up quickly and strode across the halls to the meeting area for further instruction.

Standing amongst the other pilots of his graduating class, Jai waited until the instructors entered the room and began calling out names and stations associated with each. Knowing his place, it would take a moment before his name were called out, however with the size of his current class, it didn't seem too long of a wait at all. Jai was up next, "Battlegroup Two. . err. . Imperial Star Destroyer Warrior Two" shouted an instructor. Jai's eyes lit up like fireworks, "A Star Destroyer?!" he thought. "Oh man... this will be exciting." He murmured under his breath. Acknowledging his new assignment, Jai stood by and waited for the remainder of his class to receive their orders until dismissed.

From there on, Jai packed his belongings and readied himself until the next transport shuttle were to take him off to his ship. Eagerness had filled him up with great content, ready to meet his squadron mates, Commander and higher ups once on board. "This is it," he thought as he took his first steps on board the shuttle. --

After a long ride through the hyperlanes, the shuttle broke free and in the oh so close distance, there she was. His new home, his new chapter.
