After news breaks of a disaster, Calida is shaken by the implications, leaving Armin to calm her down.

"… and although Chief of State Mon Mothma has remained circumspect regarding the squadron's fate, it appears as though Rogue Squadron, along with General Wedge Antilles, has indeed met with disaster," the newscaster stated with a somber tone.  

Armin deactivated the holoprojector and leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as his head drooped.  He glanced up at Calida, who was crying silently opposite him.  "You okay?" he asked quietly.

The Chandrilan woman shook her head.  "That's the second squadron to be wiped out in just a few weeks," she said.  "And the Rogues were arguably more elite than the Wolves were.  I'm not ashamed to say it.  General Antilles trained his people well."

Armin nodded, swallowing past a lump in his throat.  "I never met him myself, but my cousin Bror flew with him during the campaign against Ysanne Isard.  He spoke highly of him."

"You think it's possible the same pirates were involved?" Calida asked.

"No," Armin said flatly.  "The Rogues were in the Corvis Minor system, in the middle of the Ciutric Hegemony.  Pirates might've been able to get away with a lot before the Empire fractured, but not after.  Word from Intelligence was that Krennel, the man who stole the Hegemony from Sate Pestage, is even more ruthless than most Imp commanders.  I'd guess the Rogues were going after him, trying to stop him from consolidating Imperial power in that sector, and they got ambushed by his forces.  Wasn't your squadron scouting Serenno?"

Calida nodded.  "We were investigating it as a possible signatory after Zsinj was killed and his empire fell apart."

"That's a 40-hour trip for most cargo haulers," Armin said.  "Most pirates don't want to scavenge that far out from their base.  No, this had to be Hegemony forces."

Calida offered him a small smile.  "I can see why you chose to be a private investigator," she said.  "You're good at thinking things like this through."
