I wanted to cover the briefing that we had to show the pilots who come out to these events and to give the viewers that indeed we do not just say you are here and you are there, but that we do indeed immerse ouselves into the event.
A little know tibit is that the inital story arc had a ground portion to start off the event. I had hoped to have a ground battle where I would be the "Capture The Flag" sort of idea that as I walked to Mos Eisley Starport...(I timed myself and it was 15min from Mos Pax Briefing hall to just inside the Starport doorway. Whoever had control of me as I walked into the starport was going to determine the outcome of the balance of the evening.
This portion didn't make it beyond the planning stage due to logistical reasons...though it could come back in some form at the end of the event. The reason I wanted to include this was to get the ground folks more involved with what we were doing in space. Other than the one event we held some time ago in the rescue of Yivvits at the Imperial Prison on Dathomir, we never intergrated a coordinated ground and space portion together....

P.S. I ended up posting some of these pics in the Events Forum and got a positive review from Pex. 
I knew then that for every part of the events, I'll spend my hard earned creds on Props. It's hands down one of the best items added to SWG in years!
P.S.S. I also found out, but never have asked, that there must be a limit on how many screen shots you can have in your SWG folder as a lot more were taken. I have since cleared out the screen shots after an event so I never run into that again.

(The sounds of enemy aircraft have passed as I make my way back towards HQ)
(Deep thought) Admiral Alirc and the other senior officer's are just about here....I better get things prepared. Ah...another troop transport.....
(It is nice to have these these support troops here...the shuttle port seems to be in order)
As I continue to walk around HQ, I come upon a squad sent by General Rieekan......
Ah...more reinforcements...at least seeing this sort of support makes me feel more comfortable with the mission at hand.
Time is getting near...
(The sound of the Admiral's Shuttle is grabbing my attention)
\\\\\Personal Log Data Entry Ended/////
Captain Canaryville: (Salute) Admiral....welcome sir. How was your trip?
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: (Salute) Captain....well my trip was much easier than what you had happened here in Mos Pax. How are things?
Captain Canaryville: The town is now secured and the injured have been transported back to Echo Base for further treatment.
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Any additional casualties?
Captain Canaryville: Sir....I forwarded my report to your com.
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Yes....Thank you....Well let's go inside HQ and greet the pilots.
Captain Canaryville: That sounds great sir....
(Slowly the Admiral walks up to Tatooine HQ....it's been some time since he's last been here. He reviews some of the troops stationed outside and walks through the doorway....the sounds of some of the bravest Alliance Pilots can be heard)
Captain Canaryville: (Announces to those gathered) Admiral on the deck!
(The pilots in attendance salute and greet the Admiral)
(The Admiral acknowledges the response and gestures for us to sit)
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Gentlemen....It's great to see you again. (He notices a bit of tenseness within the room and tries to lighten things up a bit)...Ah Lt. Sikkyu....it seems you've gotten your own personal chair with your name on it. How can I get one? (The pilots laugh)
(The Admiral's head scans the room...)
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Fuser-derelek....(The Wookie Pilot who has seen many battles in the past has come out of retirement to be here during one of our greatest needs) It's a pleasure to see you again. I hope things on Kashyyyk are well for you? (The caught-off-guard Wookie acknowledges the Admiral's words). I hope the Crew of "The Heart of Gold" are ready? (A big Wookie Roar bellows out of Commander Fuser-derelek)
(The Admiral smiles)
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Ah...I see the crew of "Tempest" are here also. Gentlemen, on behalf of Admiral Ackbar, I thank you for coming. (The crew of "Tempest"..Suuko, Ratch, Anlisa, & Dakuut acknowledge the Admiral's words)
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: Okay...let's get down to business....
(You can see it in the eyes of some of the pilots...they are thinking why are we working with Jabba)
Admiral Alirc Ec-Etic: This mission involves us getting Captain Canaryville to Jabba's Star within the Tatooine Space Sector. He's carrying on him a High-grade Rancor DNA strand that needs to make it to Nym on Lok. I can't go into more details than that....(The quietness of the pilots passes as they look at each other wondering how this is going to happen).
