[b]For All Rebellion/Alliance Characters. If you aren't with either at this point (like Vaax), then just stay where you are and don't comment here. [/b] The short woman standing at the podium hardly seemed like any sort of military leader, much less a prominent one, yet Mara Tanaka was one of the premier Field Commanders of the Rebellion, who had recently been taken from behind Federation lines in a prison break. She had returned with files, important ones that could very well change the course of the war. She cleared her throat, and began to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank you once again for ensuring my safety. As you already know, I had escaped with previously classified files, mostly on Fed movements and the like, but I've also collected some interesting information on a few particular phenomenon. First, there has been Federation movement on some sort of anomalous planet, which doesn't appear on any of our star maps... Or even theirs. However, they've clearly gathered some Intel on what they've been doing on this planet: attempting to reverse engineer Imperial bioweapons. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow them to have them. Secondly, we have received word that there has been a large bounty placed on a starship in the Outer Rim... By a Federation General. We know the Feds, they don't like using mercs unless they have to, so whoever this person is, we need to find them and bring them back alive. Who knows what they may have to offer. " She pauses here, "And lastly, I'd like to solidify our fears here for a second: even with Alliance backup, we cannot hope to win this kind of war, against this kind of force. We don't know the location of any Federation HQs, and we don't know the identities of any of their military leaders... Besides one. I'm sure you've all heard of the name Phaedrus before." Some muttering goes on in the crowd, "He is the epitome of what we fight against. He is cruel, cold, calculating, and utterly ruthless. Unfortunately, he's also brilliant, and one of the most inspirational Federation fighters. If we can take him out and bring him back, dead or alive, then we will have struck the Federation a significant blow. Normally, he'd be untouchable, but we have word that he was last sighted on the nearby planet of Helios, a planet that we recently recaptured. He's behind enemy lines, and vulnerable. Any questions?... Good. Sign ups for these missions are over by the weapon Kiosk. Dismissed." (Open. Sign up for the mission you'd like.
