Training Simulation Complex Alpha One bled power from shields into engines and raced to catch up with the two remaining Y-wings. He fired off his remaining missiles at the farthest Y-wing. The crimson glowing warheads raced ahead of his gunboat for their target that had yet to respond to the threat approaching. Just before the warheads impacted, the Y-wings let loose together a total of six proton torpedos. The lead Y-wing spun out of control, only able to launch two warheads itself, and attempted to reorient itself to continue its mission. The six torpedos raced toward the second Bulk Freighter that was getting ready to jump. They impacted against the vessel's shields, blue energy shimmered and flickered. Over Leran's frequency, the freighter captain reported in the damage. "Shields almost depleted. We can't take another hit like that!" He shouted. Meanwhile two of the three Headhunters raced after the Imperial, trying to catch up. The third Headhunter was limping back to the frigate. The undamaged Y-wing broke off its attack run to deal with the incoming Gunboat.
Training Simulation Complex Layor shot the scientist once again and then instructed his teammates on what to do. He then pelted the plastiglass with blaster shots and kicked it in until it shattered into thousands of pieces. Producing a flashbang grenade, he tossed it down the corridor toward the rebels and shouted to the others immediately after the flash and bang: "Move in, now!" Varn quickly moved from his position next to the turbolift toward the opposite wall and sprinted toward the far lab while staying low. Right behind him was Dasnei with her flashbang in hand. The two quickly approached the lab without any resistence from the two rebels. It seemed they had been too dazed by the grenades. When they arrived at the lab they believed the second rebel had been in they found it completely empty and a total mess from Dasnei's earlier grenade attack. There was the body of the third rebel, burnt to a crisp. Then the blaster fire returned from the end of the corridor as the two rebels there targeted the two stormtroopers that dared approach.
Training Simulation Complex Elets dove his starfighter in a shallow dive giving the impression that he wanted to attack the Y-wing from underneath. The Y-wing rolled and adjusted its trajectory to keep the TIE Starfighter in its crosshairs while keeping its underbelly out of the Imperial's sights. It let loose a volley of laser and ion cannon fire at the starfighter.
Imperial Academy, Carida Graduation day had finally arrived for Captain Zanis Ulmar who had passed at the top of his class and high marks on all his tests and simulations. After the graduation ceremony, Captain Ulmar was given a datapad with his first assignment. He was to report to the Victory-class Star Destroyer Inseparable orbiting Taanab. His mission, along with other divisions, was to help in the conquering of the planet. A shuttle was waiting for him and other graduates at the landing pad.
With the distance made up, Leran shunted the power he had taken from the engines and put it into the shields. The Y-wing was the primary target. Keeping a close eye on the two pursuing Headhunters, Leran wove an evasive course towards the Y-wing, hoping to use the sluggish "agility" of the aging fighter to his advantage.
Training Simulation Complex Varn dove back into the empty lab and as he flew through the air, he tossed his flashbang grenade toward the two rebels. It arced through the air and landed a few feet from the two rebels. Within seconds it exploded into a bright light and loud noise louder than the machinery. Blaster fire momentarily stopped as the rebels attempted to recover from the grenade attack.
Training Simulation Complex Kaarem juked and jinked his starfighter in a random pattern to keep the Y-wing from obtaining a certain lock on him and obliterating him out of the simulation. He piloted his vessel closer to the Y-wing that would eventually place him behind the relic for an easy kill.

Keeping a close eye on the two pursuing Headhunters, Leran wove an evasive course towards the Y-wing, hoping to use the sluggish "agility" of the aging fighter to his advantage. The Y-wing attempted to hit Leran's fighter as he approached on an evasive course. But each attempt was in failure and they were almost on top of each other making it harder for the ancient fighter to keep up with the Gunboat.
Duflin's Office, SSD Knight Hammer Striker and Fel wore expressionless faces, something they both picked up being around their Chiss pilots for so long and serving under a Chiss for just as long or longer. William Stryder was the first to answer. "Just one, sir. "When do we get to butt heads with the rebellion?"
Cloning Lab, SSD Terror - Unknown Location Colonel Derricote accepted the tissue sample from Colonel Covell. "Your meeting with Talon Karrde went well, I assume." "Partially. We came to an agreement on what will keep him silent, but now I just have to figure out how to fulfill my end of the bargin." Covell explained and took a seat at Derricote's desk in the laboratory and watched him hand the sample to a lab technician. "My best chance is to convince General Thane's father." "Why not just tell General Thane?" Derricote suggested. "He's dead..." "You didn't receive the message?" "What message?" Covell slowly stood from his chair, his heart pounding with anticipation and excitement. "He survived the explosion and is in some hospital on Coruscant recovering." Derricote said while examining the contents of test tubes and reading his datapad. "Sweet Palpatine..." Covell abruptly turned and marched out of the lab. He had to find out more and then travel to Coruscant to see the General himself.
Splitting up, the two TIE fighters took on the pair of Z-95's. Thankfully for Ringo, the two fighters were not paying any attention to the attacking craft, as much as they were aiming for the two Tie Bombers. With a firey flash, both fighters blew up in a small cloud of fire and sheet metal. Varn and his wingmate quickly flew in range of the small corvette, dodging the quite inaccurate but deatly Turbolaser shots. With their targeting computers on, the two ships came into range of the swift ship. With its launchers on dual fire, the two bombers realeased their initial payload, 2 proton torpedos each in the first run. Streaming twards their target, the 4 blue streams struck into the shields, and the last, streamed right through and into the hull. A small breach formed on the engine compartment of the ship, taking down one of its multiple engines.
