Essara TillDialog transcript Dren MelneHi, sweetheart.Essara TillThat's Flight Leader Sweetheart. With Olie offworld, I'm top veermok. Don't you forget it.Dren MelneA top veermok who spends most of her time doing secretarial duties or playing nursemaid.Essara TillWe all serve Naboo in different ways. How are the troops?Dren MelneEcho Flight is eagerly studying up on their fighters, hoping that we'll lead them to glory and a chance to fly the N-1s. Ric really shouldn't waste your talents like this. It's foolish to make his best pilot handledatawork and babysit. Don't tell me you aren't bored stiff.Essara TillIf it weren't me doing the expense reports, it would be Ric.Dren MelneBetter him than you. You're one of the best pilots in Bravo Flight.Essara TillYour bias is showing. Like I told you, Ric doesn't make me do this. I asked to do this. Plus, this way, you and I get to spend some quiet time together.Dren MelneMaybe. On the other hand, there's a way we can have both.Essara TillWhy don't I finish this report, and then we can rent a couple of aircars and head into the mountains for a picnic?Dren MelneI was thinking of something more permanent. Remember the governor of the Agamar system and the fighter contingent he's trying to assemble?Essara TillYes. I told you, I'm not interested.Dren MelneEssara, come on! You're wasted here! On Agamar-Essara TillI'm not interested in mercenary work. Not any more. I'm on Naboo to stay, and if that means datawork and leading Echo training missions, I can live with that. I've retired from that life, and I like it this way.Dren MelneDon't get mad. Promise me you'll give it some thought?Essara TillWhat is it with you and Agamar?! It's not like you have fr-All pilots to the briefing room. This is a Class One Emergency. I repeat, all pilots to the briefing room.Essara TillGet your gear. I'll see you in the briefing room.Dren MelneThink about Agamar. - Traveled through Theed Royal Palace from Administrative Offices

Sio Bibble, Essara Till, Security Officer, Echo Flight Pilots, Rhys Dallows, Keela Egast, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Dren MelneEcho Flight present and accounted for.Essara TillThe remains of Bravo Flight reporting for duty. Lieutenant Melne and I will command Echo Flight today.Security OfficerFourteen minutes ago, we received a distress call from Station TFP-9.The station is under attack by a Hornet-class carrier and a squadron of Z-95 Headhunters.Echo Flight PilotsConversation among themselves.Essara TillQuiet.Security OfficerTFP-9 is almost defenseless. Station engineers are still upgrading their point defense weapons systems, so its only defenses are its shields and a pair of stock YT-1250 freighters. I'm sure you can see these are no match for Headhunters. Echo Flight will launch immediately and defend the station. Bravo Flight will lead the mission. Once the raiders have been chased off, a portion of Echo Flight chosen by Flight Leader Till will remain at TFP-9 until their defenses are back online. Questions?Rhys DallowsYes sir. A TaggeCo Purchasing Agent in Keren once bragged he could buy the whole Naboo system with his personal expense account. Why don't we just get him to pay off these pirates?Essara TillStow it, soldier.Keela EgastSir, I have a question. What kind of Headhunters are those? Standard Z-95s or AF-series?Essara TillThe sensors on the TFP refueling platform aren't fine enough to distinguish between the different types of Headhunters. Pirates are more likely to have Mark Is, though.Security OfficerYes, of course. That's all the data we have.Sio BibbleMay the Force protect you and the good people of TFP-9.Dren MelneEcho Flight, to your fighters. Prepare to launch!Echo Flight PilotsYes, sir! - Traveled through Theed Royal Palace from Briefing Room to Hangar together with Essara Till, Rhys Dallows, Keela Egast, Echo Flight Pilots, Kammie and 3 others

Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillBravo Seven to Echo Flight. You know the drill. Launch Control will guide you to the combat zone and relinquish control to you when we're within sensor range of the enemy. Make sure your astromech droids have loaded your first proton torpedoes by the time we arrive, and double-check the power allotment to your shields and laser cannons. We're going to need firepower and shields more than speed against those Headhunters. Assume Attack Pattern Zeta-Gamma One as soon as control is surrendered. Sound off, Echo and Bravo Flights.Rhys DallowsThis is going to be like sailing on Lake Paonga in midsummer, Flight Leader. Even if the raiders have Headhunters AF-3s, our ships can take them in a one-to-one match any day!Evenyl YobYou think?Rhys DallowsI studied up on Headhunters after Essara told us the basics. They're really far better suited as atmospheric defense craft, no matter what SubPro's marketing claims. We've got better shields, greater range on our weapons due to the superior stabilizing fields in our laser arrays, and better maneuverability and speed because our Nubian drives. This should be over quick.Essara TillDon't be too confident. The starfighter is less than half of the equation. I spent one year in a Z-95 AF-3 prototype and two years in the real thing. If those pilots are any good, you pups are going to need everything your ships can give you.Rhys DallowsMaybe so, Flight Leader. But wouldn't you say-Dren MelneYou're too chatty, Echo Five. Let's not give the bad guys any more warning than we have to. Maintain communications silence until Launch Control disengages the auto pilot. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksDren MelneSharp kid that Echo Five. If he can fly as well as he talks, he'll have your job eventually.Essara TillGood. That way I can retire to a cottage in the mountains.Dren MelneI can't see you there for long. You're like the rest of us pros. You've got rocket fuel in your blood. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillI want to take some of these low-lifes alive. Try to disable rather than destroy a couple, and I'll do the same.Dren MelneWhat about Echo Flight?Essara TillYou and I can go at this with some finesse. I'm not sure they can pick their shots as well.Dren MelneI copy.Essara TillBravo Seven out. - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillEcho Flight, this is Bravo Seven. Shields at full power. Go to attack speed. Engage targets at will. Let your astromechs worry about any damage to your starfighters and focus on flying and gunnery. Whatever happens, stay with your wingman, and keep the bad guys off each other's tails.Rhys DallowsCopy.Echo Flight PilotsCopy. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara Till, R2-L1Dialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillEll-one, lock on the fighter closest to me.R2-L1Target acquired. He's returning the favor. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillToo simple. We've got slow-witted pilots in basic Headhunters, Dren. They aren't even armed with missiles. Echo Flight could do this without us. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara Till, R2-L1Dialog transcript Conversation over comlinksDren MelneThat one’s going to be fun for the Space Rescue Corps.R2-L1The pilot’s alive but unconscious.Essara TillHey, Dren, any idea who these guys might be? - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksRhys DallowsEcho Five to Flight Leader.Essara TillBravo Seven here. Go ahead Echo Five.Rhys DallowsWe’ve got the bad guys on the run, Flight Leader. Seven kills with only Echo Three, Echo Eight, and Echo Eleven taking damage. The rest of the Headhunters are retreating toward the carrier. Should we pursue?Evenyl YobHey!. I’m supposed to give the status report!Keela EgastThey teamed up on me. How was I supposed to take three at once when Kammie couldn’t hit even one? - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksKammieI just got another one! You were right, Rhys! This is a piece of cake! Let’s get them!Essara TillEcho One and Echo Two, fall into formation with Bravo Seven. I want the rest of you to prevent the other Z-95s from reaching that carrier. Stay out of range of its weapons, though. If any of them get away, so be it.Evenyl YobWhat about us?Essara TillWe’re going after the carrier. Ready proton torpedoes.KerlYahoo! A cap ship! This is great! - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksDren MelneLooks like Echo Five is going to have competition for your job, - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara Till, Evenyl Yob, KerlDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillThis is not going to be easy, Echo One and Echo Two. Set your shields to maximum recharge, even if it means you have to reduce the recharge rate of your lasers. We’re going to suffer heavy fire as we’re going in. But keep your cool. Assume Attack Formation Zeta Nine.We’re going in at a 65-degree vector. That should limit the number of cannons they can to bring to bear. Stay in formation. - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEvenyl YobFlight Leader, my tactical computer is malfunctioning. A new bunch of Headhunters just appeared out of nowhere.KerlMine too.Echo NineThat’s no malfunction. We’ve got more incoming fighters.Rhys DallowsI see them. Where did they came from? Headhunters don’t have hyperdrives, do they?Essara TillLet them come to you, Echo Flight. - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, Sorran, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksSorranNaboo fighters, this is Captain Sorran of the carrier Velumina. Power down your ships and permit yourselves to be tractored onto one of our carriers. No harm will come to you. All we want are your starfighters.Rhys DallowsThe Naboo don’t take direction from petty thieves and terrorists!Essara TillCaptain Sorran, this is Bravo Flight Leader Essara Till. I suggest you recover your fighters and leave our territory at once. We will not be threatened. - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara Till, R2-L1Dialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillWho are they? - Interacted with (dialog)
Essara Till, R2-L1Dialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillWhat did they just drop?R2-L1Uncertain. The design does not match any configuration in my databanks.Dren MelneHave you ever seen anything so fast?!R2-L1Based on their rapid acceleration, I conclude they’re piloted by droids. There isn’t room for a biological pilot with such an engine configuration. - Interacted with (dialog)
Echo Flight Pilots, Essara Till, Keela Egast, Rhys Dallows, Kammie, Evenyl Yob, Kerl, Sorran, HarlaanDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksEssara TillEcho Flight, those fighters are moving too fast to be effectively tracked. We’ll need to rely on good old-fashioned gunnery skill to take them out.SorranSurrender, Flight Leader. You and your pilots cannot match skill with our special fighter element. Do you really think a starfighter is worth dying for?Essara TillEcho One, Echo Two, Bravo Eight. Attack Formation Beta-Zero. We’ll take the fast-moving bogies. Echo Three through Echo Six, you deal with the Headhunters. The rest of you focus on those new fighters. Keep them in your sights and off each other’s tails. Don’t rely on your instrumentation.Dren MelneRemember that opportunity on Agamar I’ve been pressing you about? I didn’t want to make you choose like this, but this is your last chance, because my term of employment starts now.Essara TillDren? - Naboo N-1 Starfighter of Dren Melne attacked N-X Police Cruiser of Echo Flight (Echo 2Crew Kerl) with Laser Cannon, destroying its shield generator, Naboo System

We don’t belong here, Essara.Essara TillWhat are you talking about?Dren MelneCan’t you see that real soldiers like us shouldn’t be wasted on a useless world like this one?Essara TillDren, I think there might be something wrong with the atmosphere in your cockpit. You’re talking crazy. Stop this before it’s too late.R2-L1Issued a series of alarmed trillsEssara TillOverride the blasted FoF protocols! Haven’t you been paying attention back there?! - Essara Till in Naboo N-1 Starfighter of Bravo Squadron (Bravo 7Crew Essara TillR2-L1) attacked his Naboo N-1 Starfighter with Laser Cannon, grazing its shields, Naboo System
- Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksDren MelneYou’ve seen the way some of them look at us. They need us to protect them from the perils of the galaxy, but most of them would rather see us far away from Naboo. I’ve found a place where we will be appreciated for our skill, not looked down on.Essara TillDren, you’re not making any sense. When have the people in the Security Force not been treated as heroes? Stop attacking us. Help us deal with the real enemy.Dren MelneI realized some time ago that there’s no place for me on Naboo. You know how they say you can never go home again? Well, I believe that now. - Interacted with (dialog)

- Interacted with (dialog)
Essara TillDialog transcript Conversation over comlinksDren MelneThose fighters won’t stop until all of Echo Flight is dead or disabled. Check your telemetry if you don’t believe me.Essara TillJust tell me why.Dren MelneMy employer is dedicated to building a strong planetary defense force in the system he governs. A cutting edge defense force. The Naboo starfighters are the cutting edge he’s looking for. All the governor wants are two or three N-1s and a couple of Police Cruisers in working condition so his engineers can build their own version.Essara TillAll this just to steal some fighters?!Dren MelneNot just fighters, N-1 fighters. These ships really are greater than the sum of their parts. I told my employer that even if he could convince the Nubians to trade with him, he still wouldn’t be able to build fighters that even came close to the Naboo starfighter… unless he had some working ships to study. He thought I might be exaggerating the N-1’s capabilities, so he wanted a demonstration. The second carrier launching its fighters was the sign that he liked what he saw.Essara TillTwo carriers to capture a pair of N-1s?Dren MelneNo, but he wanted to have numbers so overwhelming that only an idiot would put up a fight.Essara TillI guess I’m an idiot then. - Naboo N-1 Starfighter of Dren Melne disabled N-X Police Cruiser of Echo Flight (Echo 7Crew Kammie), Naboo System

Summary
| Dren Melne was a human male from Naboo. He was born in an isolated mountain village - a community devoted to Naboo’s pacifistic ideals and staunchly against galactic ties. Melne, however, fell in love with the romantic ideal of spacers and fighter pilots at an early age - as soon as he could, he left his home village for Theed. After a brief time serving as a volunteer in the Royal Security Force, he found work with a mercenary company that was on layover and left Naboo.Years later he returned and joined the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps, becoming the lover of his fellow pilot, Essara Till, before betraying Fighter Corps in an unsuccessful attempt to disable and capture N-1 starfighters and was killed by his own employers to silence his connections. | ||
