Flight and Flying [Tuesday, June 2, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

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."

By the time Rose had gotten used to the whole space thing and stopped trying to overcompensate for the sluggish response, a few minutes had passed. She pushed the engines, trying to speed up and managed to avoid the bigger pieces of debris. The freighter was pretty dinged up by the time she'd finished, but at least it hadn't exploded.
