Episode 103

Title: ???

TEASER

SPACE (ORBIT AROUND CHANDRILA)

The Tantive V is seen hanging in space from an approaching X-wing. Detailed views of the entire ship from the outside. Approach to the hangar. Short communication between ship crew and pilot (pointing out that the Tantive V is equipped with brackets to hold the X-wings, pilot replying that he is familiar with them).

HANGAR BAY

Landing. Pilot (Myn) leaves his fighter and climbs down to the hangar floor, where another pilot (Gavin) waits for him. They shake hands and Gavin welcomes Myn to Rogue Squadron.

Opening credits

ACT 1

SICKBAY

Wedge enters the Tantive V's sickbay and visits Tycho who is out of bacta, but still badly injured (problems with his sense of balance maybe). He tells him that he and Ran Kether, who is still in bacta, have to return to Coruscant for further medical treatment. They talk about the previous events (Barati, new ship, last battle, etc.). Wedge leaves.

HALLWAY

Gavin and Myn on their way to the pilots' quarters. Myn carries a bag and the case with his laser rifle. Gavin tells him some basic facts about the Tantive V. They reach the quarters.

PILOT QUARTERS

Gavin explains that since the Tantive V is an Alderaanian ship, communication is considered very important and therefore the pilots (most of them are lieutenants and up anyway) have their own rooms, but four rooms share a common living area. [room order: Wedge, Tycho (when he returns), Nawara (with the other room used as an office for example); Wes, Hobbie, Myn, Gavin; Corran, Ooryl, Ran (they don't know that he won't return yet), Target; Pedna, Asyr, Inyri] . Gavin shows Myn to his room and asks him about the rifle.

Commercial break

ACT 2

WEDGE'S OFFICE

Wedge is in his office. Pedna enters. They talk about her transfer as an instructor to the NR academy, and Myn replacing her. Then Wedge asks her if she would be willing to remain with RS for a few more weeks, since Tycho and Ran will be off-duty for several weeks, and it isn't sure yet if both will be fit to fly anytime soon. She agrees to stay until Tycho returns. Wedge asks her to take most of Tycho's duties, especially helping Wedge with the training of the squadron. Her first task, while the Tantive V is still in orbit around Chandrila, is to train the squadron using the brackets, and to take their replacement X-wings out on a short flight to check them. Pedna leaves the office, Wedge returns to his paperwork.

HALLWAY/CANTINA

Gavin shows Myn the rest of the ship. In the cantina they meet a few of the other Rogues. Short introduction (Myn has already met them before, during SC). During lunch they receive the order to show up at hangar bay at 1400 for some training exercises.

ACT 3

HANGAR BAY/SPACE

Pedna inspects the three new X-wings and talks to the mechanics. After some takeoff/landing exercises Pedna + three others (Inyri, Target, Asyr) leave to check the new X-wings during a longer flight.

GUNRANGE

Myn wanders around, tries out the gunrange (if there is something like that on the Tantive V). He meets another Rogue or crew member and they talk a little bit.

Commercial break

ACT 4

SPACE (NEAR CHANDRILA)

Pedna and the others return from a short hyperspace jump at the distant side of the planet Chandrila around which the Tantive V is in orbit. The encounter a freighter about to jump into hyperspace. Even though its identification is valid, Pedna orders it to stop, and when they don't comply, she (and reluctantly the others) attack it and cripple the engines, apparently completely out of the blue and unprovoked.

WEDGE'S OFFICE

An angry Wedge awaits Pedna in his office. He asks her what the heck she was thinking when she attacked the freighter. She explains that she knew the ship, it belongs to slavers. Wedge asks if it was right to base an attack purely on the visual memory of a ship. Pedna shrugs. Wedge then tells her that planetary security actually freed slaves from the crippled ship and arrested the crew.

TAG

PILOTS' LOUNGE

In the pilots'/officers' lounge a small 'opening'-celebration for the crew and pilots takes place, to allow them to get to know each other. We meet the entire bridge crew of the Tantive V.

TEASER

STREET ON THE PLANET DELBAG [hot and sandy]

Two men (clad like Tuareg, blaster in hand) run through the street, pursued by stormtroopers which eventually surround them. Across a corner of the street the two men stop shortly, catching their breath. When they pull down their veils, you can see that they are Wedge and Tycho. Tycho urges Wedge to try to escape via the roofs while he distracts the STs. Wedge doesn't want to leave him behind, but Tycho says he knows what he's doing. Wedge sneaks away as Tycho attacks the STs, blaster in each hand. From outside the ring of STs Wedge sees that Tycho is overwhelmed and stunned. Wedge barely manages to reach the 'Pulsar Skate' and escapes. Tycho is hauled away by the STs.

Opening credits

ACT 1

STARFIGHTER COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, CORUSCANT

Wedge tries to convince Starfighter Command and NRI to do something to help Tycho, or at least allow him to act on his own. We learn that he and Tycho were sent to Delbag as couriers to contact a local agent. Only Wedge knew how to meet their contacts, but they were detected before contact was possible. His superiors refuse to do anything about Tycho, and they warn him to do anything without their approval. Frustrated and angry Wedge leaves.

PRISON CELL, DELRAG

Tycho regains consciousness, but before he can do anything, he is hit with a blaster rifle and blacks out again.

Commercial break

ACT 2

WINTER'S QUARTERS, IMPERIAL PALACE, CORUSCANT

Wedge tells Winter about Tycho's captivity and asks for her help. She promises to use her influence and urges him not to do anything before she's learned more about the situation on Delrag. Wedge leaves. A very shocked Winter remains standing at the window, overlooking Coruscant.

INTERROGATION CELL, DELRAG

Tycho is tied to a pole. The local Moff (or however the local ruler calls himself) is questioning him about the local resistance and the NR's involvement. He tells him that they caught Wedge as well. Tycho is tortured, and truth drugs are used on him. He doesn't tell anything because he doesn't know anything.

[optional: flashbacks under the influence of the torture, short scenes from Tycho's life, eventually always coming back to Alderaan, his family, Alderaan's destruction]

ACT 3

WEDGE'S OFFICE, TANTIVE V

Wedge explains their new assignment to Wes and Corran, ordinary escort duty. Both are furious that they aren't allowed to do anything to help Tycho, but instead are ordered to go on an unimportant mission. Wedge admonishes them to follow their orders, but when they leave we see that he is very frustrated.

PRISON CELL, XYZ

Tycho regains consciousness. He crawls to the nearby wand and leans against it, his arms on his knees, watching his slightly trembling hands.


Commercial Break

ACT 4

INTERROGATION CELL, XYZ

We see Tycho tied to the pole again in the background.. The Moff talks to a young officer who works for the head of Imperial Intelligence on planet. His boss demands to be informed about the prisoner's testimony. The Moff agree to hand over the tapes recorded during interrogation.

TANTIVE V

[I think it would be good to have a scene back on the Tantive V, or anything about Rogue Squadron, but I can't think of anything right now.]


TAG

HALLWAY, PRISON, XYZ

The Moffs talks to a young woman with a long red braid, who turns out to be in charge of the local Imperial Intelligence. With her are the officer seen before and four stormtroopers. She demands that the prisoner is handed over to her for further interrogation. She has found evidence that he knows something about the case of former II agent Gara Pethothel, in which she personally is very interested in. Finally they agree that she can have the prisoner during the next two days, since the Moff will be busy with the celebrations for his 20th anniversary of assumption of office [or something like that].

Tycho is brought by prison guards. The woman examines him closely, and hits him.

ACT 2

TANTIVE V, WEDGE'S OFFICE

Wedge informs Corran and Wes that he, Tycho, and Hobbie will leave for a mission with the previously captured TIE Interceptors (hyperspace-equipped) (this should be in one of the previous episodes). Corran will be in charge of the Rogues in the meantime, with Wes as his second-in-command.

SPACE NEAR THE PLANT ABC IN THE XYZ SECTOR

A battle between a squadron of TIE Interceptors (with red stripes) and three dozen Uglies. Three TIE Interceptors (Wedge, Tycho, Hobbie) approach and join the fight. The Imperial are successful, and the rest of the Uglies flees. The squadron turns out to be a part of the 181st, under the command of Turr Phennir. Its second-in-command is EV, and Phennir orders two of his pilots to remain with him while the rest go on with their current mission. Wedge & Co promise to fly to a nearby base and get help.

ACT 3

IMPERIAL BASE'S HANGAR

The TIE pilots emerge from their crafts; Wedge, Tycho, and Hobbie are in disguise, with either Tycho or Hobbie acting as CO; they are greeted. They tell their story and a shuttle is sent to the EV pilot. They are showed to their quarters.

Wes plays a prank on Corran or drives him up the wall otherwise.

IMPERIAL BASE, GALLEY

The three Rebels talk to the two 181st pilots who are waiting for their superior officer to get out of bacta. They don't know anything about Fel, though. The 181st is still under teh command of Turr Phennir. There are some rumors about a regrouping of the Imperial fleet, though, and a Grand Admiral.

Commercial break

ACT 4

TANTIVE V

A person sneaks through dark hallways, cautiously looking around, apparently investigating something. He has a small, flashlight-like object in hand. A noise, something jumps at him, he ignites the lightsaber, short fight. Then we see in the pale light of the lightsaber a sliced Ewok doll on the ground, and hear Corran swearing "Wes, I'll kill you!"

IMPERIAL BASE

Wedge, Tycho, and Hobbie run into the previously injured 181st pilot NN. He immediately recognizes Tycho and Hobbie, but the Rebels react faster and hold him and the young subordinate who is accompanying him at blasterpoint.

*FLASHBACK*: Tycho, Hobbie, Biggs, NN, and Fel at Prefsbelt

NN remains very calm. He is surprised to meet three of the famous Rogues. They question him about the Fel sightings, but he doesn't know much. He has heard the rumors, too, and the even stranger rumors that Fel is with the mysterious Grand Admiral, but he thinks it's just wishful thinking. The 181st has heard nothing from Fel since Brentaal, and it looks like the 181st was the cause for the Fel rumor the Rogues are investigating.

They bind and stun NN and the other pilot, and head for their TIEs to leave immediately.

TAG

SPACE AROUND THE PLANT ABC IN THE XYZ SECTOR

Wedge, Tycho, and Hobbie leave the base. Just in orbit, a Star Destroyer [it's supposed to be the Chimaera] appears right in front of them and launches a wing of TIEs. The Rogues prepare for battle, but the TIEs just pass them, escorting a shuttle to the ground. The Rebels jump to hyperspace.

TANTIVE V, WEDGE'S OFFICE

Wedge resumes from command from a pained looking Corran, who tells him that everything went smoothly.

WEDGE'S QUARTERS

Wedge enters his room, exhausted. He turns on the light and finds a sliced Lt. Kettch on his bed. He stares at it in disbelief, then starts laughing.
