Description: All your life you dreamt of joining Star Squadron, zooming around in sub-space righting wrongs and looking great in the uniform. The afternoon you received your acceptance to the academy via hologram was probably the happiest day of your life.

A few weeks into your first term, though, things don’t seem to be pannig out as you’d planned. It’s quite disappointing, really. For example, on Taco Tuesday this week, all the hard taco shells were chipped. That’s a minor quibble, to be sure, but it’s a sign of something not quite right at Star Squadron HQ. Worst of all, and in retrospect this should have been mentioned much earlier, Star Squadron leadership seems to have no idea what it’s doing. Whole squads leave on patrol and never come back. No explanation. In fact, it seems like no one is paying attention at all.

So here you are, preparing to make your third attempt at your pilot’s license and reconsidering your life choices. The last few tries didn’t go so well. You got a memo about “millions of credits in damages” blah blah. So, they’re trying something new: fly your T71 Kestral around a course set inside a derilict freighter orbiting Phobos. What could go wrong? At least this way when you die in a fiery crash, it won’t be costly to clean up. The guy on the radio is annoyingly chipper. He says there may be (read: definitely are) hostiles nearby. Oh, and your only weapon is a ping pong canon. Nice. Are you ready?
