In their own words
Greetings fellow Rebels. Red 13 reporting as ordered. I have been summoned here today to give you a brief insight into my experience as a squadron member. First of all, I'd like to say that, to quote C-3P0, "I'm not very good at telling stories. Well, not at making them interesting, anyways."
In April of 1996, I happened upon a rare opportunity. A company called Decipher was looking for a few good individuals to help them promote their newly popular Star Wars CCG. Having directed tournaments for Magic: The Gathering in the past, I felt this would be a great opportunity to get involved.
During my previous two tours of duty, I have been looking for many ways to better my tournaments. I have tried many new ideas, from giving away action figures to dressing up as Darth Vader.
The players have always been the reason that, to quote Kendrick, "I love this game!"[2]
