-The Lexington Bar, Ceres-

After a disturbance in the polar regions of Earth disrupted Wraith Wing's training with the Black Cats, the Specter of Ceres returned them to their base on Ceres. Now the pilots were at the preferred bar for pilots on Ceres, the Lexington. On the walls hung memorabilia from both WWII carriers, along with other UAC and space flight related items. Around a table, Wes Janson, Corran Horn, and Dirk "Starbuck" Benedict discuss the latest scuttlebutt regarding assignments.

Corran: "I heard it's an Athens class, and that we might start using Longswords alongside our Rapiers."

Wes: "No it can't be, remember all those tube practices we've had? They don't have those types of tubes on the Athens class, they're too small for a Longsword."

Starbuck: "I heard that there supposed to be some new class of fleet carrier entering service, it's called the Galaxy class or something."

Corran: "Maybe the tube training was for something completely different? Maybe they have a new launch system for ground bases, and were going to get a dreadnought, I hear the accommodations are nice on the Viscount.

Wes: "Yeah, and then we'll get stuck with escorting Trifins when we're not escorting those slow Hornets. No thanks, I'd rather be on an escort carrier patrolling the Outer Rim colonies. Your Galaxy class theory might be interesting though Starbuck, and an assigned carrier would hopefully give us more action..."

-Wing Briefing Room, 06:00hrs, Ceres-

In the briefing room, the pilots, flight engineers, gunners and ground techs had gathered for a morning meeting. At the front of the room stood Lt. Commander Antilles, who stepped forward to speak.

Antilles: "I know that many rumors have circulated about our next deployment, which have ranged from a new land base to a fleet carrier assignment. You may recall, a few weeks back we trained on launch tube simulators and flew from actual tubes. These are part of the rapid deployment system of our new assignment, the fleet carrier UAC Galactica, lead ship of a new class of ship."

As he paused murmurs of excitement filled the room, a fleet assignment meant more opportunity for action, especially if this new ship would be sent to patrol Calamare or Tenelapis.

Wedge continued: "We will ship out tomorrow at 08:00 hours, you will find quarters assignments posted on your quarters this afternoon. I recommend that you get your gear packed up, and your ships checked over, we don't want the best fighter wing in the fleet to look bad landing on a carrier. Dismissed."

The pilots rose as one, and filed out of the room. In the hall outside they talked excitedly among themselves about finally getting a proper carrier.
