A
long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Take 1

The Star Wars' main theme starts playing.
A yellow text moves slowly away, toward the infinite, rolling over a star
field. The text reads as follows:
STAR WARS
Fighter Squadron
The Battle of Yavin had convinced the leaders of the REBEL ALLIANCE that one of the keys to their ultimate victory over the evil GALACTIC EMPIRE was their ability to launch lethal, unpredictable assaults with their FIGHTER SQUADRONS wherever and whenever necessary.
Consequently, the
Alliance dedicated a large and important part of its resources to reinforce
and improve this most effective weapon in their arsenal. It deployed
new squadrons to open fronts as soon as the craft, supplies, and navigation
droids were available. As well as, above all, the most vital part
of the system: the trained and daring PILOTS willing to put their
lives on the line in the fight for freedom.
The fate of the entire
galaxy rested firmly in their hands....
While the music is near to its end, the
camera descends for some seconds and then stops. From behind the screen
three starships appear suddenly, a shuttle and two escort X-Wings, moving
away at high speed.
