The tie fighters work together as Beck takes the lead and delivers devastating shots into the New Hope blasting chunks off of it! It looks dangerously close to destruction!

OOC: Minions #2 missed but used Stay on target, 1 advantage to boost next ally, Triumph to upgrade next ally, and 2 boost die to boost Beck. Beck moves to Close of the New Hope suffer strain to Aim, attacks New Hope 12 HT with Triumph for Linked for another 12, for a total of 20 HT after armor. Unless she does a Snap roll they are dead in the water.

Flip a Destiny if either the Minions or Beck is attacked.

Veras strafes through solely focused on the enemy fighters and takes two out of the fight and then said over the comm to her allies, "New Hope you still with us! Petrus!"

[Petrus Karath]

Gritting his teeth, Petrus was doing his best with Zerras to get the ship operational again...

----------------------------------------------------------

(assisting Zerras)

[Zerras Blume]

Zerras tried with all her strength. She reached out to the Force for more. But, all she felt was approaching darkness and pulled away.

[Elaranu]

With everything shutting off and sparks coming off things, Elaranu got up out of the pilot seat to see the other two trying to work on things.

"Move aside! Someone take the controls and get us out of here if I can get the engine running! We will need to leave the rest to our fighters."

Pulling tools from her toolbelt, she quickly worked even as the ship rocked, knowing this might be the last chance for them since the ship didn't have any escape pods.

Day 9, EN, Hard Mechanics check to get New Hope slightly functional.: 2eP+2eA+1eB+3eD 2 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Djanik]

With a clean shot through her evasive action, Djanik let his system get a read for her craft, targeting computer beeping steadily. (Aim (2 strain))

He followed her through her path, and as she ravaged the New Hope, he grimaced. No time to mourn. (Evasive Maneuvers)

Locked onto his target, he squeezed the trigger, sending Indigo blasts arcing out at Nora's ship.

(6 damage)

Gunnery vs Nora, Adversary 1, aim, 1 defense, player+gm destiny: 2eP+2eA+1eB+1eC+1eD+1eS 1 success, 3 advantage

Forgot adversary, 1 red replacing purple: 1eC 0 successes, 1 threat


Space crit: 1d100 49

It wasn't a great shot, but the blast clipped the engines , making them sputter and shake unevenly, throwing her ship out of balance and leaving her unable to maneuver (6 damage, advantage to crit, component hit(engines))

Sometimes, a dog fight was an endurance contest.

[Dapper Dog]

Beck pulls off some fancy tiwsts to turn what could be a critically devastating attack into something surviveable but still her engines suffered! She then changes tactics gunning the engine pushing it to the max as it smokes and gets a good targeting solution on Djanik!

Meanwhile Veras and last Tie fighter duel and she comes out top though not without harm! But her antics give her wing leader a slight edge.

OOC: Snap Roll for 3 SS and 3 strain. Reduce Damage to 0 and a Crit to Engine reducing speed to 3. Accelerate to 4, making her 1 higher than Djanik who is Speed 3 due to Threat in Round 1. Gain the Advantage as an action. Successful grant next ally a boost die. Minions #2 hit Veras for 8 HT and Linked for another 8!

Snap roll for 3 and then Armor reduced that to 1 and then Snap Roll again for 2 and reduced HT to 1 for a total of 2 and 6 SS. Veras eliminates the last Tie fighter and now there is only Beck! Grants next ally a boost die.

Beck gain the Advantage vs. Djanik: 2eP+2eA+1eD 5 successes, 1 advantage


Minion #2 vs. Veras: 3eA+2eD+1eS 1 success, 1 advantage

[Djanik]

Things were getting close.

Too close.

Spinning his ship into a tight turn, he spun 180, and then put all power into his engines. (Stay on target, aim 2 strain)

Burning directly at her, he let loose another volley, again scoring glancing hits.

Stay on target, aim, Gunnery vs Nora, adversary, Destiny, bonus boost, defense: 3eP+1eA+2eB+1eC+1eD+1eS 3 successes, 2 advantage


(hit for 8, spend 2 advantage to trigger linked for 8 more)

Keying up the call to Veras, feeling some strange sentiment, perhaps spurred by a cinematic masterpiece in another galaxy, he called,

"You're all clear kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"

[Dapper Dog]

Veras nodded and fired as Beck went up in a fiery ball of death. The Resistance held the line as the New Hope limped away!

Veras called out, "Damn... she was good."

OOC: Combat is over.

[Djanik]

Leaning back in his seat, he just nodded, feeling a tear escape, unexpectedly, as he started coming off the high of combat.

"Yeah... yeah she was. She was incredible."

Great maker, Beck... I hope the Tribunal is merciful... you did so much good in the past. May you rest in peace, rookie...

Glancing around, not seeing the New Hope, he felt a sinking feeling of dread.

A slow breath, and then he keyed up the communicator, "Wolf Squadron, this is Wolf Leader. Regroup on my signal and report in."

Time to get the butcher's bill.

[Elaranu]

A glowrod flashed from the New Hope's cockpit towards the two fighter.

"H a v e b a s i c p o w e r. W i l l r e t u r n t o p l a n e t.''

[Dapper Dog]

The Wolves rejoin the pack minus two of their number, Hajo a male Duros and Tinks a human woman.

[Djanik]

Djanik almost missed the glowstick, frowning at the flickering on his long range sensor, and then he realized what it was, and felt an astonishing relief flooding through him. Checking the scanner to see if either Hajo or Tinks had managed to eject, in which case he could do a pickup, he couldn't help but wonder at how well his little pack had handled themselves.

Great Tribunal and Maker's craft... they'd gotten off light.

"Good flying wolves, you're not just pups anymore. I'm bloody proud of the lot of you."

As he flipped the Zero Dawn over and started it on a long swooping turn past the transports that were even now landing teams on the station, he added, "Sphere escort pattern, we'll guide the New Hope back to base. You'll have a few minutes for resupply and rest - then we'll be back on station to fly close cover for the Mahon - if the strike teams did their jobs, we won't have much to worry about for the second push to drive that ship off planet."

Sinking back against his seat, he pulled up an old academy song. Emotions played back and forth through him. Joy. Sadness. Relief. Fear. The Empire would be back. There would be more battles. They would have to run... they might all die. He might have to kill more of his friends.

They had won, against all odds.

Nora had loved this song.

Listening to that lilting, haunting voice, he led his wolves home, tears staining his cheeks.

cool strain off: 1eP+2eA 2 successes, 1 advantage
