Flight and Flying [Tuesday, June 2, 4th period]
When the students entered the flight shed (thankfully no longer smelling of bleach), they would notice a sequence of lights spread across the ceiling.
"Meet Drol," Anakin said, waving his hand. "The god of the moon of Iego, who brings destruction to all those who attempt to leave." He snorted. "In reality, Drol is a system of laser emitters programmed to track onto a ship as it hits orbit and blow it out of the sky. That same technology was later used to exterminate entire planets. We'll get to in a few classes. For today, you will be piloting a G9 Rigger freighter, which is neither sexy nor particularly speedy, but it's your first time flying in space, so you need something that can take a little beating up."
He flashed them a tiny smile. "For you beginners, you will only have to navigate around the asteroids in Iego's atmosphere. People with a little more experience will face off against Drol. Figure out how to disable the system without exploding, please."
He clasped his hands together in front of him. "Begin."

Re: Fly through the asteroids!
At least I don't have Corran hyperventilating at me from the copilot's seat, she thought wryly. A third of the way or so through the route, she thought she was comfortable enough with the controls to try out the weapons systems and get herself some more breathing room.
Yes, the freighter did get dinged up thanks in part to the debris she'd vaped on the way, and it wasn't until just over seven minutes later when she was finished with the run that Tahiri realized she'd actually done . . . pretty well. Huh.
Astral. She was grinning broadly by the time she climbed back out of the sim.
