\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s been twenty-five years since the death of the original Death Star at Yavin IV.\u00a0 The Aurora Force has spent the better part of the last two decades operating in the Kartuiin Sector, Rimside.\u00a0 The new Republic is still scrambling to respond to the new, looming thread in the galaxy posed by the Yuuzhan Vong, who have already attacked Helska, Sernpidal, Dubrillion, Garqi, and Dantooine.\u00a0 Within the Kartuiin Sector and its immediate environs, Xenen has already been attacked once, a feint designed to test military forces in the Kartuiin Sector.\u00a0 Though the day ended with the Vong leaving the system, New Republic forces\u2014and their allies, the Golgan Defense Forces under the command of former Aurora Force XO, General Carlos Delong\u2014learned from the Vong attack that they were wholly unprepared for what they faced.\u00a0 Since then, GDF installations have suffered attack as well and word has reached the Aurora Force that one of the Vong commanders is none other than former Aurora Force flag officer Alexander Kerensky, now become the Vong commander known as Deimos.\u00a0 The fighting forces of the New Republic in the Kartuiin Sector, through engagements with the Vong, has been cut by roughly 70% in the past four months. \u00a0Commanding officer of New Republic forces in the Kartuiin Sector, Admiral Indiana Bridger, in the wake of the resignation of her former XO, Kirghy Lommax, has selected a new executive officer, General Janet Skyy Wyler, lately returned to New Republic service.\u00a0 Admiral Bridger has put out a call to all former members of the Aurora Force, inviting them to return to their commissions and benefits for the duration.\u00a0 Most have not answered the call.
