[ON]

Thorn twitched nervously in his seat as he looked out the window to the passing star lines that told of a ship is at warp. He never much enjoyed space travel, even given the day and age he lived in. As he continued to stare out the window his thoughts traced back to his previous assignment and how he had ended up in his current seat.

His time spent on Galen IV had taught him a lot about how to lead troops into battle, but also how not to fly off without orders, even if the decision is the correct one. Thoran's quick thinking and reaction to what was happening gained him some praise while simultaneously stepping on the toes of the leadership above him. "Most marine officers have learned to listen to the people under their command and make an informed decision. The days of glory hunting are over son." His former CO had told him. Two weeks later he had received orders to report to Starbase 51 for reassignment. "From dirt side to a starbase. I must have really screwed things up," he thought to himself.

As the transport entered its final approach to the station Thoran could not help but stare in awe of the sheer size of the station. He had seen large constructs before but nothing the size of what he was currently seeing. The transport gently sat down, and to Thoran's amazement, he hardly felt it. Quickly grabbing his gear Thoran made his way to the hatch both nervous and excited. As he entered the station proper, Thoran pulled out a PADD with his current orders on them, double checked whom he was supposed to talk to, and began to make his way through the station.
