[ It starts with a blank screen and cheerful booping that anyone who has met BB-8 will recognize, with muffled conversation in the background.

BB-8 is working on something. The screen flickers from blackness to brief color, goes dark again, then abruptly displays the following image: ]



[ Yes, it is Poe Dameron, standing nobly above a motif of X-wings, over the word "RESISTANCE" and below the words "WATCHING OVER THE SKIES AND STARS."

The background conversation stops. Poe's voice comes through clearly: ] Bee, what are you--BB-8, take that down right now.

[ Annnnnd the image vanishes. ]

A friend told me about ships like that but she didn't really explain them in a way that I could visualize.

We don't have ships that can do that in my reality.

Do they all look like that?

[volitaunt]

Not at all. Depends on what you're goal is. Shipping, human transport, battle. There's a lot of different kinds.

[angelic_archer]

What does those ones do? It looks like they should be patrolling. Or are they for surveillance?

[volitaunt]

They're starfighters. They can do recon, particularly if they're modified for stealth,
but I prefer them in a straight fight.
