So I know you guys have no frame of reference on this, but my local group has been running a CC and we’ve all been writing up some pretty cool battle reports. I was pretty pumped on this one so I thought I’d share.
The Rebellion has become desperate in their attempt to overthrow our benevolent Emperor. General Madine launched a foolhardy attack on the core world of Corellia after our spies leaked falsified information of our Ion Cannon being out of commission for repairs. Little did Madine know that our cannon was quite operational.
Aboard Thrawn’s 7th Fleet Cymoon- ‘The Executioner’
Strategic Advisor : “Sir, General Madine’s Fleet has just appeared from hyperspace!”
Thrawn : “Good, just as I have planned- the trap has been sprung. Target that Liberties hyperdrive and fire the Ion Cannon! There will be no escape today...”
Blue bolts of energy raced up from the planet surface and impacted the Battle Cruiser’s engine systems mere moments after dropping out of hyperspace. Shields pulsed as they attempted to repel the assault, but it was too late. There would be no fleeing from this battle with their hyperdrive knocked out of commission.
General Madine : “Full power to shields and engage that Star Destroyer!”
Thrawn : “ They’re actually charging us!” A grin crept across his face, glistening white teeth in stark contrast to his deep blue skin. “Hold position and continue firing the cannon, the Rebels are desperate!”
Thrawn stood at the helm of his flagship watching Ion blasts rip into the Liberty one after the other as it attempted to close the distance between them.
Thrawn : “Scramble the fighters! Captain Jonus, I have a special assignment for you”
Whisper, Cienna, Bossk, Zertik, and a rookie interceptor pilot screamed through space towards Madine’s contingent of rogues, moving to intercept and prevent them and the deadly Shara Bey from peppering our capital ships with laser fire.
Captain Jonus broke off from the main group and headed straight towards the Liberty. He had one mission- expose the cruisers weak points for Thrawn’s gunners while making his bombing run. Throttle to the maximum, Jonus dodged incoming AA fire before firing his payload of proton torpedoes at point blank range into the starship.
Captain Jonus : “Direct hit, shields are down! Concentrate all fire on the prow of the ship!”
Thrawn : “ Direct all energy sub-systems to the turbolaser banks and divert power from our shields and engines to the cooling systems.” His blood red eyes narrowed- “One more volley and this rebellion will be brought to it’s knees... FIRE!”
Madine had managed to dodge the Executioners front facing turbolasers, but it had taken far too much punishment on the approach. The Executioner unloaded a full broadside into the cruiser, and it’s crew watched in awe as the terror that was ‘Mon Karren’ erupted into a blinding ball of light and shrapnel.
Thrawn : “Captain Brunson, Madine and his cruiser have been eliminated- you are free to hunt down the remaining survivors and bring them to justice”
Brunson and the crew aboard the ‘Demolisher’ let out a small cheer as they broke from formation in pursuit of the two remaining blockade runners. Without the command of General Madine the captains of these vessels panicked and attempted to flee, but were no match for the superior engineering and training of the Imperial Navy. Captain Brunson danced through space, launching row after row of proton torpedoes into the helpless craft- they never stood a chance.
Brunson stood at the helm of her ship, watching the beautiful carnage unfold and whispered to herself “For the Empire”
