OOC: I don't see how anybody would want to take part in this roleplay but if you have an interesting agenda for it then please join in. Basically, we will be "reconning" The Jade Moon for a suitable base site, then we will transport the neccessary building materials to construct a base there.

The Marauder Corvette Reconnaissance dropped out of hyperspace above the crisp, bluish aura of The Jade Moon. The hull of the ship was illuminated by the spectacular lighting of the moon. Gruber smiled at its splendour as he looked up out of the bridge window. A red light was lit up on a control panel to his left. He just glanced at it, then turned round and sat back down in the command chair, crossing his legs as he did so. Simon brushed his hand over a button on the armrest of the command chair. This caused a hologramatic projection to appeared a few feet in front of him.
The hologram displayed The Jade Moon, constantly spinning - most probably identical to its actual axis. Although moderately detailed, the hologram was nowhere near as accurate as the sensors on the Chariot LAV would be, since the ships sensors were dated now and the LAV was brand new and outfitted with the latest sensor suite, stolen from an Imperial Patrol Picket ship - naturally! The major landscape features were visible - valleys, mountains, plateau's and craters were distinguishable - but that was about it. One area that attracted Simons attention was a rather large, flat area of land in the northern hemisphere of the moon - about three and a half clicks from a hefty plateau - and if this readout was anything to go by then it would be an excellent candidate for the Coalition's headquarters.
A low beep sounded, and Simon glanced over to the control panel again. The red light from before had de-luminated, and a green one took its place. Simon nodded to himself, then activated the tannoy system...
"Alright then boys! You are clear to exit the hanger bay. You may proceed at your discretion!"
