Sergeant Rhea is the initial (a.k.a. Tier I) Freelance Pilot trainer for CorSec Squadron. He is located in the main room of the guild hall at location (-273, -4733), which is 200m west from the Coronet Starport on Corellia.

Pilot Missions[]
Patrol Corellia Trade Route X143[]
Conversation with Sergeant Rhea[]
Sergeant Rhea: Hello! Come to join the ranks of CorSec?
PC: What is CorSec?
Sergeant Rhea: CorSec is Corellia's local Security force. As you know, Corellia is officially neutral in the Galactic Civil War... or at least as neutral as a world can be in this day and age. We provide defense and law enforcement for the entire Corellian system.
PC: I see...
Sergeant Rhea: We don't let just anyone join. There'll be a background check of course.
PC: What do you mean?
Sergeant Rhea: Don't worry, this will only take a moment... Ah... You've got a pretty clean record here. I can assure you that it will improve once you're flying for CorSec! Are you ready to begin?
PC: I guess so.
Sergeant Rhea: Then I will add you to the roster. Do you have your own ship?
PC: Ah... no I don't.
Sergeant Rhea: You're going to need a ship, if you're going to fly for CorSec. I'll add the Ship Control Codes to your datapad for you. It's not a great ship, but it will get you around.
PC: Thank you.
Sergeant Rhea: Well now, I think that does it. Are you ready for your first assignment?
PC: Yes, I'm ready.
Sergeant Rhea: Alright, your first assignment is to run a simple patrol. From time to time pirates move into the area and harass merchants in our system. Just run this simple patrol and make sure there's no criminal activity going on.
Corellia System: Patrol Corellia Trade Route X143[]
Level: 0
Description:
- Patrol for pirates in the Corellia System. When you complete this mission, return to Sergeant Rhea in Coronet for your next assignment.
Rhea gives you a patrol route to fly. After launching into space, you will be directed to fly to the first trade route patrol point, which can be located with the waypoint monitor or by looking around you for the small green triangle.
Corellia System: Eliminate Enemy Patrol[]
Level: 0
Reward: 100 credits
Description:
- Defend from the Black Sun Pirate attack.
After a few of these patrol points, three Black Sun Pirates will come out of space and attack you. Destroy them and head on back to the Corillia space station (which will usually be waypointed for you, but can also be found though the space map).
- 3 Tier 1 Kihraxz "Black Sun Pirates".
Conversation with Sergeant Rhea[]
Sergeant Rhea: Excellent work!
PC: I was attacked!
Sergeant Rhea: So, you were ambushed as you ran that patrol. We need to hit them hard to send a message... make an example out of them. I'm going to send you in to run that scum out of the system. I am uploading some possible waypoints into your nav computer, destroy any Black Sun you find.
PC: Are you going to train me after this?
Sergeant Rhea: Not just yet, %NU. I have just a few more things for you to do before you get any training from me.
Search for and Destroy Black Sun Pirates[]
Corellia System: Search for and Destroy Black Sun Pirates[]
Level: 0
Reward: 200 Credits
Description:
- Visit some of the provided waypoints and destroy any Black Sun presence you find there. When you complete this mission, return to Sergeant Rhea in Coronet for your next assignment.
Rhea gives you the waypoints of possible Black Sun Pirate locations and asks you to teach them a lesson. This is much like the previous mission, but any Black Sun Pirates in Corellian space will do: Tier 1 Kihraxz "Black Sun Fighter" or Tier 1 Rihkxyrk "Black Sun Bomber". Destroy 4 of them, and then return to the spacestation. They usually spawn in groups of three, so you will most likely be taking six down in all.
Tip: To give yourself a breather between spawns, try disabling the last fighter in a group of three by targeting their engine or reactor, using the default '[' or ']' keys. Then, let the disabled fighter float in space, until it either self-destructs (around 3mins), or you are ready to move on and destroy it yourself. This can give you enough time to allow your shields or capacitator to recharge. However, with some missions, the new spawn will appear after you kill only one or two of the first group, not all.
Conversation with Sergeant Rhea[]
Sergeant Rhea: Excellent job taking out those pirates. No doubt, this won't be the end of them.
PC: It was a snap.
Sergeant Rhea: Just to be sure that's the last of them, we need you to run another patrol. It's a little longer than the last one, but you already know how crafty those criminals can be.
PC: Are you going to train me after this?
Sergeant Rhea: Almost, %NU. I have just a couple more things for you to take care of before you can be trained further. Starting with that patrol...

Conversation with Sergeant Rhea[]
Sergeant Rhea: Excellent work with that escort. It's a good thing you were running that patrol, or there's no telling what might have happened to them. I've got a little something extra for you, too. It's a mercenary bandolier. It'll help you keep your things organized.
PC: There are too many pirates in this system!
Sergeant Rhea: Enough of this! Every time we send you out, you find more pirates. We need to go straight to the source of the problem: Their leader. I know you're up to this: Go find the pirate's leader and take him out. Let the rest of them go to the outer rim if they want easy prey.

Duty Missions[]
Once you have completed his Primary Missions, Rhea has some other missions for you to handle:
Conversation with Sergeant Rhea[]
Sergeant Rhea: What's on your mind, officer? Thinking about performing some duty missions?
PC: What is a duty mission?
Sergeant Rhea: Duty missions are a good way for you to get experience as a pilot. Only experienced pilots can receive the proper training to learn new skills and abilities.There's no real final objective so you can end the mission whenever you want. So, would you like to take a duty mission?
PC: Yes I am. What duty missions are available?
Sergeant Rhea: Well, merchant freighters are always in need of escorts, or if you like you can help in the fight against the pirate leaders. What interests you?
PC: The Pirate Leaders / Escorting Merchants
Sergeant Rhea: You're right. No sooner do we eliminate one leader than another shows up. Take out the Corellian Space Pirates! / Right, those merchants rely on us to provide them with safe passage through the Corellia system. Just keep escorting them through.
