After escaping near destruction on Atollon, the Rebellion is in dire strait, but hope is not yet lost. Following her promotion to Grand Marshall of the Rebellion, Jaral Bridger is set on beginning a massive guerrilla campaign across the Outer Rim, s...
Rut sighed and removed his hands from the control panel. "Guess I'll let the giant space whales do the job."
"Admiral, link the Protector with the Constantinople's hyperdrive tracker. Once you receive the route, send a flanking force with us while you lead the frontal assault."
"Very well, Grand Marshall. Meanwhile, I'm sending the force that will attack Dornea."
"Acknowledged. See you later, sir."
As the feed disappeared, Jaral went to the center of the room, closed her eyes and extended a hand while the Purrgil were waiting not far from the Constantinople.
She let the Force guide her and established a connection with one of the bigger creatures of the flock, which started to 'swim' toward the frigate.

The ship started moving, dragged by the massive creature. In the absolute emptiness of Dark Space, it was easy for the Purrgil to move the ship, and it made it with a remarkable consideration for the ship's integrity.
"You live 223 years, and you can still get surprised by space." Raniza commented.
The Purrgil reunited with the flock. The creatures turned back toward the galaxy and the Lothal sector. They started waving their tentacles, which started to glow with an azure light.
"Stand ready for the jump." Jaral announced.
A few moments later, the blue tunnel formed around them, though they could barely see it because of the tentacle obscuring much of the visual from the cockpit.

That was the signal. Ezra could now feel Jaral again. Two days after the crazy adventure at the temple, the time for the final showdown had arrived.
Using the Ghost, Hera had left the planet to go get reinforcements for the strike team. It hadn't been easy, with the Empire now tightening its blockade again, but of course, Hera still made it, along with Rex and Kallus. Apparently they were headed on Seelos.
