Resolute Base, Jagomir

2 and a 1/2 months after the Battle of Yavin 

"Commander Qurno," said one of the many control room personnel of the Rebel Alliance's Resolute Base, "We've picked up an unidentified ship moving to our location. Gozanti-class." The base's commander, a Duros named Danel Qurno, walked over to the man, and said, "Imperial?" "Appears so, sir. It's also carrying what appear to be TIE Fighters." Qurno stood up and turned around heading towards the base's main command room. As Qurno stepped in, he saw that Major Yalor, a Sullustan, was sitting at a vacant desk with a datapad. "What's going on?" asked Yalor. "Imperials are coming," replied Qurno, "Alert the whole base." Yalor had surprise in his giant eyes. "Uh, y-yes, sir." said Yalor as he reached for the intercom on the desk. He pushed a button and spoke into it, alerting the whole base, "Resolute Base, this is Major Yalor. I have just received word that Imperial ships are moving on our base. Assume battle positions immediately. Good luck, and long live the Rebellion." He took his finger off the button. "What do we do now, commander?" he asked. Qurno sighed. "We wait." he said.
