Codenamed Operation Strike Fear, Kael outlined the squadron's mission. The Tyrant was being sent to attack one of the rebel bases within the region, as well as the planet that had been harboring them. A large rebel presence had been discovered in the Tion Hegemony, a state that had been generously granted some amount of autonomy despite it's Seperatist ties during the Clone Wars. They wanted revenge, and Imperial Central Command had only been too happy to offer them the opportunity. The feeling from the survivors was palpable in room. Garik, along with over half the other pilots in the room with him, had only recently been brought in as replacements for the heavy losses the squadron had sustained during the battle of Turkana. Garik Antocha was in one of many mission briefing rooms on the Star Destroyer Tyrant, seated in front of his squadron leader, Flight Captain Kael.
