Aboard the ISD Grey Wolf

    Ichthys flew his Tie Fighter "TigerShark" into the Grey Wolf's hangar with the ease of long experience.  Some days the work on his desk piled up to such an extent that Ichthys had to flee.  "TigerShark" and rebels offered an alternative to the inspections and endless paperwork that seemed to accumulate so rapidly.

    Ichthys turned to the maintenance men who had come to perform the after-flight inspections, "Add another three rebs to the flags on the nose, please!" He grinned and walked into the bowels of the Grey Wolf.  Isn't there supposed to be a pool party this afternoon at his new pool?

    As Ichthys was taking the elevator up, the elevator stopped briefly and the new Commodore of the Vanguard stepped in.  "Sir! A pleasure to see you.  How was the flight this morning?"  The elevator stopped again. Major Death came in.  "Admiral! I was hoping to find you.  What do you make of this? Three Ewok maintenence personnel were fixing my Tie Advanced "Scythe".  They loosened the PTO panel which has 60 bolts..."

    Commodore Ender interupted, "You let Ewoks work on your Tie Advanced?"
