Shinar: you won't find anything. I reacted in the R range to Val's last 'whip' comment. 
Eld.
Edit: and I just wrote one heck of a scene. You'll be horrified, but you'll love it.

Eld, did you self-edit or did someone force you to change it?

More like being extremely cautious. With Bush, you never know who's watching. I could be flown over to face charges for 'damaging the minds of our young' or something similarly weird as only he can dream up.

Nope, not done. Seems I have to flesh it out a bit more. Too much action to oversee in one or two single chapters. It'll be at the beta this weekend though.
Eld.
Edit: Ehr... first chapter done and sent to the beta.

Well, the beta has it. As soon as it comes back, I'll put it up.
Battle is under way, about half to three quarters of it is written.

--==CHAPTER 45 – “The Battle For Filuud – Interlude”==--
“What’s going on?” Han yelled to no one in particular, standing in the middle of barely controlled chaos. He’d come in a few minutes before, when everything was silent. Then, some nerf herder had sent a message that had gotten the entire command on its feet.
“It’s the Empire, Sir. They’ve entered the system,” he heard.
“Whoa… tell me more,” he said, simply holding out a hand and grabbing onto the first person rushing by.
The aide, a young female who couldn’t have been much older than Jaina, gave him a furious burst of red-eyed anger for it but he held onto her arm.
“Tell me the gist of it.”
“One of our patrols went to investigate an anomaly on the far side of Filuud. They detected a large Imperial fleet approaching. They barely made it back.”
Han growled in his throat.
“How long before they are in range?”
“Any minute now.”
At that, the young woman forcefully broke her arm free and went on her way.
Han looked after her as she disappeared in one of the offices. Then he took his comlink.
“Leia?”
“I’m here, Han. What’s going on?”
“The Imps decided that it was time to join this little party of ours. I’m on my way to the Falcon.”
“I’ll meet you there.” He pocketed the comlink and ran out of the Command Center.
******************
The two fighters, an X-wing and a Chiss clawcraft, rose from the planet in close proximity of each other, gunning for space. Spike Squadron met them when they cleared the stratosphere.
“Report,” Jag’s voice sounded over the comm.
The voice of a Chiss male, Amado if Jaina had remembered correctly, replied.
“Sir, it looks like the Imperials are on an intercept course with the shipyards in a two-pronged attack from both sides of Filuud. We counted twenty Imp-X’s, ninety-six attack and support vessels.” He paused before adding, “And one SSD.”
“They have a Super Star Destroyer?” Jaina gasped.
“The Imperials have two, as far as we know. One is permanently guarding Bastion. The other hasn’t been seen until now,” Amado answered.
“Where’s our fleet?” she asked.
Just then, Jaina’s display suddenly came to life and Amado let that speak for itself. Dozens of blue blips appeared as the Chiss defense forces moved into sensor range.
The fleet was still too far away to see it with the naked eye, but she counted at least ten capital ships; at least five of those were Bulwarks that she knew of by name.
In its day, a Bulwark was nearly matched with a Super Star Destroyer. However, Jaina had learned that the Remnant had redesigned a lot of their capital ships, weapons and shielding. If they had done the same with the SSD, there was no telling what would happen.
What she saw next caused the blood to freeze in her veins as, almost simultaneously, red blips began to appear on both sides of the system’s primary. Ten, twenty and then too many to count.
“Look at that,” she gasped. “They still believe in overkill, do they?”
She had heard the stories from her father and Wedge.
“They prefer strength in numbers, yes,” Jag replied. He stayed silent for a few seconds and then his voice grew serious and businesslike when he gave his orders.
“All right Spike Squadron; form up on me. We’ve just been assigned to defend the shipyards.”
At the same time, Jaina received a message from Wedge and commed Jag.
“Mind if I tag along? It seems you’ll be going my way.” She could hear a smile in Jag’s voice when he acknowledged.
******************
The Millennium Falcon’s engines whined as Han throttled back to line up with one of the Inimitable’s aft docking bays. In the days of the Empire, this particular one was reserved for the captains’ shuttle, tucked away underneath a blister of turbo lasers.
Han gently guided the saucer shaped freighter into the bay, tapping the console in front of him ever so slightly. Once inside, he let her hover and then slowly turn 180 degrees, facing the magcon field.
He shot Leia a lopsided grin when she rolled her eyes.
“Old habits die hard, sweetheart. It saved me plenty of times when I was in a fix, once or twice. Three… okay, maybe four times.”
She reached over and patted his hand.
“Of course dear, of course; whatever you say.”
He gave her a good-natured glare and rose from his chair, following his wife aft to the ramp, slapping the controls to open it. Outside, Wedge was waiting for them on the deck, clearly impatient.
“About time! It looked like you didn‘t know where the ‘land’ button was located; I almost called tractor control to hel…”
“Can it, Wedge.”
The younger man winked at Leia, who barely kept a smile from creeping onto her face, and mockingly bowed.
“Right. Well, if you’re ready, sir, we’d like to get our little surprise under way.”
At that, Leia frowned and looked up to her husband, who simply grinned.
“What do you mean ‘under way’?” She asked.
Wedge looked from her to Han and then back. “Ehr… I’ll let Han explain it.”
“Why do I get the feeling we’re about to do something Han-ish?” She sighed, shaking her head. She gave Han a good-natured slap when he shot her an insulted look that said ‘Who? Me?’
.
“Don’t you “who? me?” me, Han. Just tell me.”
“If you’re gonna be that way about it…” he began, handily evading a more forceful slap. “All right! All right! Sheez!”
He waited until they were in the turbolift and on their way to the bridge before cluing her in.
“We came up with a little surprise for the Imperials, just in case they tried something like this.”
“Do I want to know what this ‘surprise’ entails?”
“I think you do. Then again… what time of the month is it?”
“The time that will see the end of Han Solo if he doesn’t speak real soon,” she answered testily.
“Ah… I know this time quite well. I usually steer clear of close confinements with her when she’s like this. How ‘bout you, Wedge?” Han said, deliberately ignoring her.
“I don’t think Iella has them,” Wedge replied conversationally, playing along. “Then again, when she tells me to jump, I always ask ‘how high?’, so I can’t really tell.”
“I see. I should try that more often, then.”
“Try it now,” Leia said, glaring at the both of them, her face flushed. Both men’s hands shot up in mock defense.
“Yes dear,” Han answered with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Leia sighed and set her hands on her hips.
“Today?”
“Right. Uhm… well, basically, we’re going to join the fight. Bring it to the Imperials instead of them coming to the shipyard and wreaking havoc to the other ships still being built.”
Leia frowned.
“How?”
“We fitted the dock with thrusters, turbolasers and missile launchers.”
“You what!” Leia gasped.
“Well… aside from repairing the Inimitable we armed the dock and made it capable for flight, like… a second hull. The Imps can pound it to rubble and we’ll still keep on coming. Once the dock is destroyed, there’s still a complete Super Star Destroyer coming at them. It gives us a great advantage.”
“And who dreamed up this little… never mind,” Leia said. She already knew the answer.
******************
That's one.
Eld.
