Chapter 3 - Aurora Squadron Returns

While Len'ya is on Corellia doing recruiting, a cheerful New Republic pilot can't await a special guest at Corulag airbase...

» Relax Bizzy. It's just your sister visiting. Why all the fuss? «

» Sorry, I can't help it, Lieutenant Partt. As we were patrolling the Rim, I haven't seen Zebby for nearly 6 months. I'm just sooo excited to see her again! She's my hero! «

» I know, I know. You told me the story. Big sister. Legendary pilot. Leader of Aurora Squadron. The reason why you joined. She blew-up the Death Star too, right? Skoal! «

» Ha-ha. But she did participate in the battle above Endor. She is truly one of the best. That's why they made her member of the Spittin' Chicklets! «

» The what? «

»  C'mon. The Chicklets? The elite aerobatic squadron of the Republic! They performed that stunnin' maneuvre at the anniversary celebrations. Haven't you seen the holo? Ah, I wish I could have been there. «

» No I haven't. Any pilot could fly these formations. It's the Astromechs doing all the calc. Plain and simple. It's combat, where true talent shows. «

» Ah that's why you been hit by that Snub-Fighter? Twice. Weren't it for me, you'd be hovering somewhere between Daimla and Terminus. And by the way, the Spittin Chicklets fly Z-95s. No Astromech. «

» Look I had an inertial stabilzer malfunction and - «

» Oh, here she comes! «

» Zebby! «

Lil' Sis' Biz! So glad to see you, honey! «

» What? She is your sister? Oh by the seven moons, no! «

» Sorry? Do I know you? «

» He's my wingman. Get to know Lieutenant Partt. «

» Hrmpf. Oh yea, we know each other. «

» Ah yes, backup crew for Endor, right? «

» Backup crew... You cost me the cockpit! «

» Indeed, My fighter had issues and they gave me yours. Sorry. I owe you. «

» I should be wearing a medal! Instead I'm the backup crew. «

» Poor Partt... «

» What a joker. I came here 'cause the Republic command reactivated the Aurora Squadron! And I'm here to recruit you both to join me - «

Haha, fun story! Love the Z-95! The colors really pop. I like how the engines are intergrated in the wings. It looks so smooth. I also like the bar and ground installations of the base. They collected quite some trophies which we can see in the bar.

The other ships are from sets? It's nice that they all have matching white and blue color schemes while the Z-95 really stands out! Great job

[Max_Lego]

Noooo!  You built your own Z-95 before me! I am dishonored...  It's awesome! 

Blue squadron makes me happy... Although the OT's bluescreen technology wouldn't have allowed that back in the old times...

Thanks, I'm happy you like story and build

Yes, forgot to mention that. The E-Wing is 100% series. The X-Wing and A-Wing are series but the colored parts I changed. I wanted to match the color scheme of the New Republic which seems to be blue in the Ahsoka series. The Z-95 is my entry for the M4-24. Check out some better images here:

The airbase and the pilots bar is a homage to the Adelphi airbase from The Mandalorian. That's why it's at the shore and the bar is a mix of a beach house and a pilot cantina with their trophies 

I hope, that the moc here is eligible for double points, since it's a M4-24 and Mysteries cross-over 

Took me some time to figure out how to intergrate the ship into the story. 

Sorry, Max_Lego for being first with the Z-95 but I'm curious about your ship as well

Never mind!  I don't really know when I will be able to build it. Also I would like to build an E-wing from Ahsoka MOC, but don't expect soon...

I just like how the Z-95 is the direct predecessor of the T-65. They should have been there in ROTS, not the weird ARC-170. Same applies to the BTL-B. 

I also prefer the Legends explanation that Rebel Y-wings are stripped  down versions of the BTL-A4, a successor of the BTL-B; Rebels showing that they ARE actually heavily modified BTL-B's wasn't a good idea, IMHO.

Sorry for being off-topic...

Fantastic base for your ships! Love the bar/hanger area. Since you submitted the Z-95 for the M4 contest you get x2 XP for this entry.
