Haven't typed anything into this log for a few days. Haven't been able to. Too much on my mind.
Alderaan has been destroyed. I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I hadn't seen if with my own eyes; the dust and rock that had once been a beautiful, peaceful planet were all that remained when we arrived. There goes my money. There goes my employers. There goes a billion other decent souls who'd been loyal citizens of the Empire, whatever shit that buckethead might've spewed about traitors.
So, where does that leave me? I served the Empire loyally. I was one of their best damned pilots. I fought against rebels and pilots alongside some of the best men and women I've ever met. And now they go and blow up a planet and all its people, and its soldiers threaten me. Sure, the groundies were always assholes. But this was approved by someone high up. Maybe an an admiral. Maybe the Emperor himself. Either way, it says something.
I served with good men. But the Empire's gone too far this time. Maybe people will be afraid, but I think more will be up in arms and ready to fight back. Much as I hate those terrorist sons-of-bitches in the rebellion, I can't say I blame them. Seems they were right, mostly. And even if most of those in the service now are good men, the system itself needs fixing. Type of fixing only a decent blaster can bring.
As for me? Here I am on Abregado-Rae. Serenity's got her cargo bay packed full of computational electronics, and we've a couple small crates of thermals tucked away. As for me, I've got [EXPUNGED] to provide what I need, a list of names and jobs that'll open soon enough, my wings in the sky and my team at my side. It's enough.

Edit: In other news, we currently have 750,000 credits. Personally, I propose we spend 420000 credits on computer parts, 40000 credits on thermal detonators, tuck 48000 credits in the bank for a rainy day (like, maybe 36000 of that in a literal bank under the company name, and keep the other 12000 locked and safe in the ship), split 12000 amongst the crew (so, we'll say 1000 for each person, assuming a 12 member crew including the fighter pilots and not including the droid, which is company property), and use the remaining 230000 for improving our ships.
Edit2: Also, given the value of the durasteel plates and comparing them to the cost of upgrading Serenity's armor, it might be a better idea just to sell the plates and use the credits for something else.
