Alpha 2

"We are all tremendously excited about the upcoming attack. The Rebels main base has been discovered on the ice planet Hoth. A huge assault force is being sent to destroy it. Our role will be to support the attack by preparing an ambush for any Rebels that manage to escape their doom on Hoth. We are being sent to the Remitik system to destroy a small repair yard there and wait for the Rebel vermin to bolt from their holes. Our starfighters are to be launched from Assassin-class Corvettes because all of the large capital ships in the sector are being used at Hoth. This will be my first real combat mission as a TIE Fighter pilot. No more simulators! To the glory of the Empire!"
