After arriving on the surface of the planet via public transportation, Khorde boarded the shuttle that would take him to the Republic Fleet over Yavin IV to report in. The shuttle lifted off and began climbing steadily, and in a few moments he could see the ships. He was very excited about joining the Navy, and he was fairly close to being on one of those ships. The pilot opened a channel with the fleet, and said, "I have one of the new recruits, ensign Khorde Rowan aboard. Where do you want him?"

"Roger that, please proceed to the Compliance(Nebula Star Destroyer) and land at Hangay bay 23A." relayed the communications officer.
Shortly before the new recruits arrival over Yavin, Don jumped out of hyperspace in front of the 4th fleet. He was quickly greeted by two X-Wings.
"This is Blue Leader, welcome to Yavin IV, Admiral." said X-Wing pilot."Follow us in and we'll take you to the command ship."
"Roger that." said Don. Ozzy looked out the cockpit window of the YT-1300, which Don had named The White Witch and saw all the ships that composed 4th fleet.
"Magnificent..." Ozzy remarked. Don was in awe as well as he came closer to the Nebula Class Star Destroyer. He landed in Hangar Bay 23A. Opening the boarding ramps, he began walking down, followed by his men. In front of the ramp were the officers and enlisted men, all in formation. Don felt like an ordinary soldier without his Admiral uniform on. He still wondered why he was given this promotion so quickly, but would worry about that later.
Walking between the formations, the ships Captain walked before Don and saluted him, Don doing the same."Welcome aboard, Admiral. As you can see, all personel are accounted for and awaiting your orders."
Don looked at the men and saw their determined looks on their faces."Good evening, crew."
"Good evening, sir!" echoed the hangar bay.
Don gave a slight smirk."I am greatly honored to have this title and know that I have the best men this Republic has to offer. I know you will not let me down, because I have the utmost confidence in you all, from cook to naval gunner to pilot, to whatever job you have, I let you know that I have the confidence in you. Is that understood?"
"Yes, sir!" rumbled the hangar bay again.
"Dismissed." said the Admiral. The men began going back to what they were doing. Don looked around and noticed the small number of Marine units available."Captain, where are our Marine forces?"
"That was it sir, we only have 4 squads, 2 on board this ship and the other two on separate Majestic Cruisers." answered the Captain.
This made Don kind of concerned. What if they were called upon and were outnumbered? He had many things to do that could help improve the fleet. Don then remembered the men that came with him."Ozzy."
Ozzy stepped forward, in a firm, crisp motion."Sir."
"You and the rest of the men will be a newly appointed team of Marines. Training will commence at 1700 hours. You will be trained by whoever is in charge of the two Marine squads. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good. Captain, show these men to their quarters. And what is your name again, Captain?"
"Captain Daniel Welsch sir. And follow me please," said the Captain as he took another man of lower ranking and ordered him to take the Admiral's bags from the ship to his new quarters.

The RNS Bravery of the Fifth fleet had requested an admiral to admiral communication channel. Fleet Admiral Celestial wanted to meet the four other new fleet admirals. She assumed that the Chancellor was planning something big to bring so much new blood in positions of power.
When the channel was finally answer, an image of the young Women in an admiral uniform came across. "Greetings Admiral Marko. I am Admiral Celestial. I am in command of the Fifth Fleet stationed at the Force Moon of Endor. I am just making this communication to be in to meet the other fleet admiral and you being the other admiral on the outer rim I consider you the most important. I would just like to say that if you need the any assistance the Fifth Fleet is only a message away." Admiral Celestial waited for Admiral Don Marko to speak, even though like him she had things do.

After receiving instructions the shuttle flew closer to the Compliance, and Khorde got his first real close-up of a capitol ship. He was still slightly nervous, but he appeared calm as the shuttle entered Bay 23A. Khorde walked down the ramp carrying his bag of personnel belongings, glancing over the assembly that appeared to be just leaving. Khorde observed who he thought must be the Captain of the Compliance talking to a man in no particular naval uniform. Unsure where he was supposed to go, he stood there for a few moments while the shuttle pilot informed the communications officer of Khorde's arrival on the ship. I guess I just need to stay put, he thought as he glanced around. The captain had just escorted another man around the corner, and now that the ship was aware of a new recruit, he decided someone was bound to come and get him, so he patiently stood in the hanger bay out of the crew's way.

Captain Welsch showed Don his room, the biggest of them all. It wasn't really decorated with anything yet, just had a bed, a communications port, bathroom, and a small personal kitchen. Don looked around then looked to Welsch."Thank you, Captain. It was nice to meet you. I should be on the bridge momentarily. Just need to get settled in."
"Yes, sir. We're only a comlink away." The captain saluted the Admiral, the Admiral following, then left Don to his privacy.
Don walked over to his bed and threw his bag down on the bed. He opened the bag then took out his new uniform, laying it out amongst the bed. Once he was done unpacking, he began walking around his room, beginning to know where everything was. When he got to the communication port, it was already beeping. Don walked over and another Admiral appeared over the holonet.
"Greetings Admiral Marko. I am Admiral Celestial. I am in command of the Fifth Fleet stationed at the Force Moon of Endor. I am just making this communication to be in to meet the other fleet admiral and you being the other admiral on the outer rim I consider you the most important. I would just like to say that if you need the any assistance the Fifth Fleet is only a message away."
Don nodded then sat down."Greetings, Admiral Celestial. I have just arrived from Coruscant and have met the Chancellor. Everything is alright, the situation is secure. And thank you. I am here as well if there is anything you need."
As Captain Welsch made his way back to the hangar, he noticed another recruit. He began walking towards the recruit and looked at him."What's your name, trooper?"

Khorde saluted the Captain. "My name's Khorde Rowan, Ensign, sir. I recently joined the Navy and I was assigned to Yavin IV. I've just arrived, and was wondering where I can unload my bag and what you need me to do," he said somewhat nervously. He had never been on a Capitol Ship before, and he was still amazed at the size of it and it's crew.

The Captain nodded to Garok's reply then took out a holo-pad. He scrolled down the list of Ensigns due to arrive today and he was the first one. He looked up at the man and gave him a smile."Welcome aboard Garok. If you follow me, I'll take you to your quarters." Captain Welsch began walking out of the hangar with Garok, explaining to him what this assembly was all about.
"Our new Admiral, Don Marka, was in your shoes just a few weeks ago. He trained on the Hoth system where is was said to house the most grueling training in the Republic Military system. So when we got word he was our Admiral after the situation on Coruscant, we organized formations on the Compliance. Now to answer your question on what to do. You can stay in your quarters, walk around the authorized areas, grab a bite to eat, get to know your comrades, whatever you please. The Admiral is just getting used to the idea of being an Admiral, so I think we may have a meeting soon. Any questions?"

OOC: Just reminding you, it is my second character, Khorde Rowan, that is in the Navy, not Garok Raan. IC: Khorde followed the captain as he left the hanger bay, listening to what he said. "No questions, sir." Khorde was shown his room and he entered into it. He looked around, observing that while it wasn't quite full, it wasn't too empty either. Turning back to the Captain, he said, "Sounds like the new Admiral has been through quite a bit if the Hoth training is as bad as some say. Thanks for showing me to my room, and I might do like you said and grab something to eat." Khorde saluted the captain, and then began to unpack his bag before he ate anything.

OOC: My mistake IC:"Alright then, mess hall is down the corridor, then we'll take it from there." Captain Welsch saluted Khorde back and before he left, had one more thing to ask him."Looking at your files, it doesn't say what occupation you are under. According to your test, however, you are qualified for some good jobs. Any interest you in particular? Pilot, Marine, gunner, etc?"

The young women smiled at the comment. "I am pretty sure the Fifth Fleet can handle anything the outer rim through our way. Off the record, read your file Admiral, and was shocked they gave you a fleet. You may have received high marks in leadership on Hoth, you were still trained as infantry. Space combat is completely different then planetside battle." Celestial paused, "Well, I got work to do, good luck." Celestial ended the communication, leaving the Republic Navy cress on the scene.

"I know, Admiral Celestial. Well, I have to go as well. Good bye." Don shut down the communications in his room then stood up. He would go to the bridge but before he did that, sent a message to the bridge.
"Bridge, where is Captain Welsch?" Don asked.
"Captain Welsch is helping some new Ensigns, sir." replied the bridge.
"Alright, I want a full report on the fleet and any nearby activity reported in the area." ordered the Admiral. This would be his first act as Admiral. He would want a report on all ships and their capabilities. Once he reached the bridge, Don would open up ordered from High Command and the 4th Fleet's primary duties.
After switching into his new uniform, Don left his room. Two guards escorted him to where Captain Welsch was with the new Ensigns.

OOC: Sorry for not posting sooner, been busy IC: Khorde, after think about the Captain's question, replied, "I didn't really have one in mind... I can do whatever is required of me." He supposed he had joined without anything in mind at all... just to fill the role of anything those in command desired him to. He finished unpacking his bag, and after the captain left he headed down to the mess hall to eat.

"Alright, I'll see what best fits you." Captain Welsch's communicator buzzed, notifying him that the Admiral was looking for him. The Captain walked away from the quarters and finally met the Admiral.
"Sir, you requested me?" asked the Captain.
"Yes, I am going to open our orders from High Command and primary duties. How's the crew?" asked the Admiral as the men began walking to the elevator.
"They're fine sir. Everyone know's their job and most of them have seen their fair deal of fighting, after the war and all." said the Captain as he closed the door and the elevator began shooting up.
Don kept quiet as he heard the Captain mention the war. He has seen so many of his Mandolorian friend's die and didn't want to hear it. He quickly changed the subject."Is the fleet in formation?"
"Yes, sir. All ships are in standard formation, with fighters patrolling the area. And here we are..." The elevator doors opened to the massive bridge. Don stepped out first, followed by the Captain and the two guards. The crew's eyes were directed to the Admiral and all stood at attention. Don waved his hand, motioning to them to be at ease. Don walked down the long walkway towards the holonet. There, he pressed the button which gave an overview of the ships and the planet itself, Yavin IV.
Don observed the fleet's position around the planet and the other 3 orbiting moons orbiting the gas giant, Yavin. Captain Welsch handed Don a folder which contained the commands and priorities. Don opened it and began reading.
~Scout the system of Yavin IV for any pirate and terrorist activity. ~Protect Imperial Shipping. ~Secure a base on Yavin IV ~Any other commands will be sent to the communications units.
After reading, Don closed the orders and handed it back to the Captain."Send a message to the other Captains of the ships. Tell them there will be a meeting via holonet in 2 hours."
"Yes sir." The Captain walked away as Admiral Don Marka looked out the large windows on the bridge.
