The Fall of a Great Fleet
SUBMITTED BY: SL Corran / Delta 2-1 / ISD Chimaera
HOLONET REGISTRATION: <
In the outer rim the ISD Chimaera and the rest of the fleet waits for the perfect time to strike. With the best of the Galactic Empire onboard the Chimaera they’ll put up a pretty darn good fight. The rest of the fleet was the VSD Vigilant and Striker. Also, there was the Interdictor Restrainer and nine modified corvettes. The Chimaera was the flagship of the fleet and was commanded by Line Captain (CL) Calorn. Also, onboard was Grand Admiral (GA) Daemon. With all the squadrons on high alert, they were ready to strike.
Their target was the Home One Fleet. This fleet had two Mon Calamari star cruisers, one frigate, and a corvette. Not only was this one of the strongest fleets in the Rebel Alliance but Rogue Squadron was escorting. Not only that, but also Admiral Ackbar was in command of the fleet. Grand Admiral Daemon and Admiral Ackbar was the best that each group had to offer.
Grand Admiral Daemon sat in his office getting ready for the battle that was yet to come. Line Captain Calorn walked in and said, "The fleet is in position and our starfighters are manned and ready."
"Very good CL Calorn. This will be a day long remembered. We’ll see one of the Rebels best fleets, and the great Rogue Squadron fall on this very day!" GA Daemon replied.
Then, CL Calorn left the GA’s office. He walked back on the bridge and asked Commander Junon, "Commander did the fighter squadrons launch and begin their patrol?"
Commander Junon then replied to Calorn’s asking after looking at the display. "Yes, sir! All the fighter has launch and has began their patrol."
"Very good." Calorn said.
The battle was going to be at the planet of Altyr 5. Altyr 5 was a very remote planet. There was no Rebel or Imperial presence there. Even if the Rebels sent for reinforcements it would still take them an hour to get there. The prefect place for a battle!
Just then the Rebel fleet dropped out of hyperspace because of the interdictor. The X-Wings locked their S-foils in attack formation and prepared to engage the Imperial fighters. The Imperial squadron leading the attack was Delta Squadron. Delta Squadron was a squadron of TIE Advanced that was commanded by LT. Dave. The XO of the squadron was SL. Corran. Then LT. Dave said, "Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Zeta engage the B-wings and Y-wings! Delta, we’re on Rogue Squadron. Put your deflector shields at full recharge! Corran cover me."
For the comm. system SL. Corran responded, "I’m right with you Delta 1."
As the fighters were moving to engage each other the capital ship moved to engage also. The Chimaera moved first to engage Home One. The ISD shot heavy rockets at Home One until it was within turbolaser range. By that time the Mon Cal’s shields were down to 50% and falling. The Chimaera was giving it a beating to remember.
As the battle between the flag ships were taking place the other capital were moving to engage. There was one Mon Cal on two VSDs. Although the Mon Cal fought strongly and bravely it was eventually destroyed. The loss of a Mon Cal was a big loss for the Rebel Alliance. Then, the VSDs moved to engage the Rebel frigate.
Meanwhile the nice modified CRVs of the Empire were engaging the single corvette from the Rebels. It was not very hard to destroy the single corvette because it was outnumbered 9:1. In the end the corvette fell, and the other nine corvettes left to help the capital ships and the fighter squadrons.
"I can’t shake him!" Corran screamed over the comm system.
Right on Corran tail (six) was Rogue 1. General Wedge Antilles was the pilot of Rogue 1. He was one of the best pilots in the Rebel Alliance.
Then, Delta 1 came screaming down on the tail of Rogue and fired an advanced concussion missile. Rogue 1 was greatly damaged. Lt. Dave let SL. Corran to take the final shot and destroy the great Rogue.
The rest of the squadrons of the Empire was doing quite fell also. The attacking B-Wings and Y-Wings we all destroyed even before they had time to make their torpedo run. With them destroyed Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Zeta Squadrons started to engage the other starfighters.
All the other Rebel starfighters were destroyed except for Rogue Squadron. Lt. Dave then said to all the Imperial fighters, "All fighters lock a Rogue! Fire a missile or lasers. Whatever you have to fire, fire it!"
In about a minute there was no more Rebel starfighters including Rogue Squadron. "Good work, gentlemen. Now lets assist the Chimaera." Lt. Dave said.
"The Chimaera is that 50% shields sir!" An officer said to the GA.
"She’ll hold." The GA said in reply.
"Ok, Imperial fighters. This is SL Corran. Home One’s shields are down concentrate all your fire on that target!" Corran told the pilots.
With the fighters, ISD Chimaera, VSDs Vigilant and Striker, the frigate, and the nine corvettes the Mon Calamari star cruiser was destroyed, along with Admiral Ackbar onboard. Then, the GA Daemon addressed the fleet, "Fighters and capital ships. This is a historic day for the Empire. One of the Rebel’s best fleets has been destroyed, and Rogue Squadron! All of you have done a great job!"
When, they returned all the officers came aboard the Chimaera to receive and award. Everyone who participated in the assault received a Gold Seal. Finally, they celebrated their great victory.
