| New Jedi Order 11: Enemy Lines 1: Rebel Dream - Part 2 |
Page 2 of 4 A New Republic historian shows holograms of what is taking place on Coruscant and is identical to Luke's vision. The Yuuzhan Vong are systematically destroying everything on the planet. Hundreds of millions have been killed in the process. The historian and cameraman Tam ask to remain with this new alliance to document the history of the ongoing adventures. Danni Quee takes a liking to Tam, but Tam is being controlled against his will by the Vong and makes a report back to them. Wedges awoken by Garik "the Face" Loren, the leader of a covert intelligent group called the Wraith Squadron. Face also brings Wedge's family. He immediately promotes his wife, Iella, to the head of intelligence so Mara Jade can work with Luke on Special Forces. Not long afterwards, a Vong fleet arrives in the system. Wedge uses the opportunity to lure the Vong into a false confidence by letting them take over a moon in the system. Unfortunately, the Falcon jumps right into the middle of the plan and Wedge is forced to launch a full attack to save them. While they are successful, they know that a large scale attack will be forthcoming. After landing, Han and Leia are welcomed into the new Rebel Alliance. Viqi Shesh talks with Tam and tells him to befriend Danni Quee and then start helping with small electrical problems around the station. He should try to set up other members of the insider group that Luke and Wedge don't fully trust yet to create paranoia among them. After a strange meeting with a priest, Tsavong Lah begins to suspect that Viqi Shesh's allegations may be correct. Luke suggests to Mara that he head to Coruscant since his visions are getting more intense and more frequent. Iella tells Luke that her intelligence group is planning a trip and they are welcome to come along. After the recent defeat, Tsavong Lah asks his father, the legendary Czulkang Lah who has been an instructor for many years, to lead the assault. His father agrees, but only if he can remain in command after he is successful. Jaina, Kyp and Lowbacca land outside the new rebel base and are met warmly. Luke greets Kyp who somewhat surprisingly returns the sentiment. Luke mentions that Kyp seems different. The group retells the events on Hapes as Jagged Fel, Wedge's nephew, enters the room. Jaina asks if she can form her own Force driven squadron and Luke volunteers his own Twin Sons squadron. Both Jag and Kyp surprisingly agree to fly under Jaina. Jaina takes her new squadron out into space for a few practice runs. They are successful although Jag taunts Jaina that he can predict her movements despite not having Force abilities. Czulkang Lah is shown photos of the new rebel base as well as learning of Jaina's new status as a leader among the Jedi. He also learns of a new ship formation they are using. Jaina meets with two Wraiths, a man named Sharr and a Gammorean named Piggy, who want to discuss psychological warfare against the Vong. Sharr and Piggy take her on top of a building and they begin discussing that they need to convince the Vong that Jaina is in fact the trickster goddess Yun-Harla herself. They give her various instructions on how to do this and Jaina realizes that everyone's going to think she's just stuck up. The Wraiths meet with Luke to discuss tactics. Face takes him to an area where they can meet in private. They show Luke a pod that a person can ride from space to the surface along with a suit worn by the person to protect them further. Luke isn't exactly thrilled with the prospect, but thinks it may be the best way to sneak onto Coruscant's surface. All the various squadrons of fighters including Jaina's Twin Sons, along with the Star Lancer or pipe fighters and scatter throughout the system. Tam reports to Shesh that his work is progressing and he has attached remote bug to track Jaina Solo. |
