The TIE Defenders shot out of their hold in the Star Destroyer <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Disruptor<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> back on Despayre, racing toward their hyperspace jump point, closely escorting their assigned missile boats. Six TIE Defenders in all, twelve Missile Boats in all, with Assault Gunboat Rho ready as reinforcements if needed. Commander Leitbur was in charge of the attack, leading as Alpha One. His TIE Defender pulled ahead of all the others in perfect formation.

"Ok guys listen up," he said, dodging one of the frigates in a fancy manuever that was often used by squad leaders. "We are jumping head on into Kessel to fight off personal forces from the Alliance leader Vonta in an attempt to ward off some militia group trying to take out the Mon Cal station in that system. We are going to jump in with the missile boats and launch a rocket attack in an attempt to destroy and/or capture the station. Assault Transport group Sigma and Vibre Cruiser Paxe and Victorious will be jumping in to do the boardings.

"Ok all wings report in."

"Alpha 2 standing by."

"Alpha 5 standing by."

"Alpha 6 standing by."

"Alpha 3 standing by."

"Alpha 4 standing by."

"Ok men, jump into hyperspace on my mark...GO!" the commander ordered, and all fighters in the system smeered into hyperspace, disappearing as if they were never there in the first place.




They arrived in the Kessel system quickly, and came out to a small dogfight amongst what seemed to be two petty factions...the militia, though small, had the upper hand.

"Ok Alpha squad, break formation and engage enemy fighters, Nu group get set up for your attack run," he said, pulling his TIE Defender up toward the enemy droid fighters. They were small and agile, but quite slow indeed, making them easy targets for the superior, faster TIE Defenders.

One droid fighter fell to the massive quad laser cannons the TIE Defender sported, the ship combusted into a twirling inferno, and the larger fighter flew directly through it proudly. The enemy frigate seemed to pose a slight problem, but the TIE Defenders would just have to keep their distance.

Leitbur checked the CMD on what the ID of the Frigate was, it was the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Saber Strike<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Vonta's personal command ship...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->he thought to himself, yanking back on the yokes and dodging stray blaster shots from the enemy star fighters.

There were some small explosions ricocheting around in the shipyard, but nothing too major. He saw Alpha Three pull himself out of the combat and in close to the enemy shipyard, taking several shots at the frame, but to no avail. The shields succumbed somewhat, but there was no significant change.

More laser shots rayed from the enemy droid fighters at the heavily shielded TIE Defenders, who pulled himself under neath the space station, and then through the various twists and turns the bars and hull of the shipyard provided. The droids could not anticipate his several moves, and two of which crashed directly into the bars as the TIE Defender twirled to get through, then pulled out...but was just near the enemy <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Saber Strike<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.

He watched as his CMD turned red and indicated a solid lock on the enemy, seeing it was at 2.15 kilometers...barely outside of gun range, but perfectly in missile range. He let off a flurry of advanced proton torpedos at the ship before pulling off and racing back into the shipyard, avoiding gunfire all the while.



Vonta Losses-

3 Droid Fighters

(representing the MCF defense of the station)

Zed 9 watched as the Fighters identified as TRE ships entered the fray. Destroying 3 more of the bases swarm fighters. He immediately got on to the com systems.

"This is Zed nine. The head of the kessel stations of the TNA/MCF. TRE forces, is this your doing? State your reasons for attacking this installation."

As he spoke the swarm fighters disenged from their battle with the capitol ship. 18 of the fighters attack the gun bouts and defenders. The ShipYards few turbo lasers fire on the TRE craft. Seeing them as a equal threat right now to the pirates. The MCF station guns take out one defender that got to close. The droid fighters engage the defenders. They swarm and over whelm the shields of two of another defender sending it spiraling out of control.

loses-
1 defender
1 defender out of fight.

The TNA forces were under fire from the TRE forces. There were defenders fireing on the Saber strike with torps. The saber strike was engaged with the enemy ship that just lost shields and several weapons.

The Saver strike turned 13 port laser canons and 7 turbolaser on the incoming torps destroying all but one before impact. The shields held well enough against a single torp. The battle was getting quite confusing to the Zed unit. The Squad that had taken care of the two X-wings came at the arayed TRE enemy forces that seemed to have broken the cease fire.

Over the com he heard the admiral from a X-wing fighter in the battle.

"This is admiral vonta horn disengage your attack on the TNA frigate. Or you well be in violation of the cease fire."

The formly 14 now 8 strong swarm fighter group that had taken out two of the defenders were being chased down by the other defenders.

two squads of mon-cal B-wings and X-wings along with a wing of droid X fighters stood arrayed againest the new threat. that the missle boats posed The saber strikes wing of fighters fired off several warning shoots to pull their attention from the saber strike. Still engaged with the smaller ship. futher disableing the weapons systems on it.

The phantoms and squads of swarm fighters after the ships that went after the Mon-cal cruiser were disableing them. Loseing droid fighters but still hurting them.

TNA lose-
8 swarm fighters to defenders
pirate main ship loses most weapons

OOC: Your posts are all well and good Vonta, except for one thing. Last I checked, time travel didn't exist in the Star Wars universe, so I have no clue how droid security teams and an imbound ship suddenly appeared at Kessel. Now if you can show me some proof(ie a post here in the Battlegrounds somewhere, dated before my original post) of thier existance and posting there, I'll believe that. But I'm not gonna have forces "suddenly" get assigned elsewhere, just because an ally of yours got caught with thier pants down. Please guys, at least try to make your posts realistic. Okay, last thing. Since it's been such a debate, I'm going to check with the powers that be on what they think of all this. If they're against it, that's kool, I'll restart my attack with one of my contingency plans, or move on to the next site on my list. Until then though, the following is how I see the current status of my forces.

IC: Out in deep space, away from the Kessel system, Phantom forces reached the rendezvous point. As the hulk of the partially constructed MC200 slowed to a stop, the other ships spread into covering positions. Within minutes, thier contacts arrived. Several Heavy Lifters shot out of hyperspace, immediately turning to take over for the tugs. Once dissconnected, the space tugs moved away from the Mon Calamari ship and jumped back to where they came from. After a few minutes, the Heavy Lifters reached thier positions and the MC200 was ready to jump. On signal from Phantom Leader, the vessel shot away. Moments later, the Phantom's followed.

EDIT: After seeing Joe's and the other posts written while I've been writing this one, I again return to my admin notice. My second post, as Joe says, is "illegal". If it is, I'd like absolute proof. Nowhere in the rules is there anything that would hint to it being so.

OOC: Yes and there would be the matter of the fact that There is no reason that these forces would not have been assigned here. I mean you made up the very fact that there were fighters there for you to steal. Well heres another realism problem. If there are fighters here then why is it that the station would not have used them againest you. And there is the matter of who you obtained your ships from. If you are not TRE as I have heard from a source, then where did you get your ships?

This is all just as realaistic as any thing you posted. The TNA has several hundered Dark trooper phase three. why not have some here. And fighter squads are usually a must for defense. You still would not leave with the cruiser as I have several ships that would cut you off first. My SY TNA is intact. and by the Way pirate are you afraid of actually haveing to RP when you could lose to larger forces.
