"All I wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom."

Rex regrouped, discarded his damaged HLC, and called for reinforcements as he flew deeper in to the asteroids. Turr Phennir and Soontir Fel Pushed the Limit and arrived at full speed where they immediately ran in to a mini-swarm of Rebels and were bested by a tactic that usually belongs to the Empire.

The Outer Rim Smuggler, more a Tactician than a rogue, flew as the lead blocker and clogged up the spaces the rocks had left open. The Imps were stressed out before two Gold Squadron Y-Wings hit them with Ion turrets and sent Turr and Soontir on collision courses with the remains of the Empire's greatest sin.

The irony wasn't lost on Rex, he did what damage he could to the YT but concentrated on flying after watching Phennir hit the same asteroid - twice - in a row. It was too crowded to maneuver effectively with worrying about Ions and they couldn't bring their guns to bear faster than they were being out-arced by the rebel turrets.

A Recon Specialist turned Rebel Operative joined the Ys with her Blaster Turret to finish what the asteroids started.

With both reinforcements gone and the rebel scum hiding behind their rocks and shields Rex withdrew again.

There was less space than the last encounter but the Rebels found room to celebrate this time.

I'm adjusting the level of asteroids for future rounds of Attrition.

2x rocks, Ions, and Turrets are not balanced to the faster ships that rely on arc dodging.
