The flag officer sifted through the reports before a verbal status came from his dedicated communications officer. "Sir, the Daystrom remains shielded after a turbolaser and torpedo barrage. Light ion cannon damage was absorbed and compensated for. Our main reactor took serious damage and shields hover around 35%. The Archer 2 is being tractored by their flagship, and it is almost totally disabled. Most crucial systems are down, including weapons and self destruct. Shuttles have been dispatched to the Valour, it's shields are down after a massive torpedo assault. It appears like... sir, the enemies gunships are maneuvering for a ramming strike and for a rear strike on the Callisto. The Archer 1's shields are in severe conditions."

Alex took in the information as it came at him. "We're not finished fighting yet," said the Commodore with a spark of defiance gleaming in his eyes. "Form up the remaining ships, with the Valour in the middle and surrounded by the Daystrom in the fore, Archer 1 on the port, and the Callisto in the rear. Have the Callisto fire the brunt of it's assault on the ramming vessel and remaining weapons on the other gunship. Turn the Archer's firepower on the shuttle's inbound to the Valour and on the flagship. Split the Daystrom's tactical as well. Coordinate the space platform's weapons with the Daystrom, instead splitting between the flag and the support destroyer."

Wendigo sat back and waited for the enemy's commander to make his next move. The man was obviously well versed, but the Commodore intended to give him the fight of his life. He only hoped it didn't cost him his life...

The battle continued to rage. Veers looked about in silence as laser fire streaked across the sky. Things were going well, but not well enough to suit him. The admirals continued to gather intel on the current settings. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the ship rocked a bit, while alarms started to sound.

"Moff sir, our forward shields are down! Our bridge is vulnerable! Also, reports stating there is some ion damage affecting some of our systems. Engine power is down to 75%. Ship we tractor beamed is in the docking bay, waiting to be boarded."

The assassin rocked from an explosion to its primary engine systems, and the ion energy streaked across the ship. However, its momentum allowed it to crash into the side of the Callisto, though it did not self destruct as was the original plan.

The Shadow took a barrage of fire from the Callisto, as it moved into position, and the admirals continued to speak. "Shadow is reporting light damage." Another explosion, this time from the Bounty. "Bounty is reporting heavy damage to shields, and hull breech on its bridge. The shuttles are taking some damage, two have been destroyed. Those men will be remembered."

More rocking, and two admirals grabbed veers, and pulled him out into the hall. Then another explosion, just as the doors sealed. A large whooshing sound was heard, as veers growled. "bastards." After a minute, force-fields were in place, and men two comm officers, exited the bridge. Veers growled and made his way deeper into the ship, to the emergency bridge.

As they walked, he spoke with the comm officers. "Alert the comm in the emergency bridge. tell them to relay orders. Turn the ship hard to port, and broadside the Daystrom with everything we got. Target their main reactors and shields... I want that ship to explode. Have the Thunderclap focus all its fire on the on the other Ranger class vessel and the Daystrom. Have whatever the Bounty has left target the Callisto. Have it prepare to jump into hyperspace. Shadow target the callisto as well. See if it can't target the position near the Assassin's impact zone, as that should get us access to the interior. Order the troopers to prepare for cracking into that ship in the bay."

(Alright, there the posts... sorry for the long delay again, and again, hope it is satisfactory.
Again, looking for critiques on how I did )

"Sir, the Callisto has been impacted! Archer 2 has been dragged into their flag and we're receiving fire."

Commodore Wendigo turned to deliver orders to the waiting officer, but was cut off as the bridge of the Daystrom abruptly was obliterated by the force of the Imperial's attacks. Command shifted to the executive officer, Commander Paul Lokar, who sat concentrating in the auxiliary bridge of the Daystrom. With their bridge destroyed the center of operations switched to the much safer center of the ship, where Lokar decided on their next course of action. "One more decisive strike on the Might will bring down their commanders; Intel suggests VERY high ranking members onboard that vessel."

Paul nodded. "Salvage all weapons and bring the Imperial Might down with our last breath. Have the Callisto cut off the Bounty's escape route no matter what, and cut their corvette down. Let the Captain of the space platform know command could be switching to him soon."

Orders delivered the remaining crew of the Daystrom waited patiently and anxiously for their results.

Archer 2 PoV:

Veers walked into the secondary bridge, as the ship swayed back and forth from the turbolaser fire. He looked as some comm officers started to make their reports. "Moff sir, the fleet is getting battered by alliance ships. While three of their ships are for the most part disabled, and their flagship is at a disadvantage, the Callisto is still seeming full operational and so is their Space station defense. While only one of our ships is disabled, only one is full functional." Veers sighed a bit, before asking. "What about the landing party on valor?" "Major Nox reports they are making their way to the main reactor. Hopefully they should be able to get the hyperdrive access and mkae the jump to meet us at the designated location. The bounty is making the jump now, and the Shadow is requesting to do so." Suddenly more fire on the ship, and the Comm spoke. "External sensors are offline. Hull at 60%. Weapon systems down 25%."

Veers nodded. "Tell the Thunderclap to remain and cover our retreat. See if it can't defend the Valor. However, if their shields fall to 25% tell them to jump. Have the shadow divert all its power to shields and engines. Get it out of danger. As much as I hate retreat, I had come and accomplished my goal. We should be able to get some technology and information off the drive of the captured ship, and if the Valor escapes, that's even more information about the Alliance that we can use. Have us jump as well. This ship is taking allot of damage, and there is no cause for it. Divert remaining power to shields and Hyperdrive Engines."

-----POV raiding party------

Major Nox threw a detonator down the corridor, and watched as some men flew from behind their wall. His men continued to push forward. As Veers had planned, the enemy went to protect the bridge. He hoped that meant the engineering bay was less guarded, so they could get out of this mess they were in. He left 2 shuttles worth of troops to guard their passage incase the bridge saw to it to bring about reinforcements.

"Sargent, protect the engineers, we are going to need them to hack the system and get control away from the bridge. Make sure the R2 units are safe as well." Nox just hoped that they would get this ship away, and he would live. However, as they made their way into engineering, he knew what must be done. He would plant the charges so if they were over run, the ship at least would be no more. "Men, we are on our own. We must make it to the main reactor terminal so we can take control, and jump to safety. Fight with all your might!"

----Imperial Might Docking Bay-----

Lt. Samuel had his troopers surrond the vessel. However, they were ordered not yet to attack, only make sure that the ship remained powered down, and that no one tried to escape. Once they were out of harms way, Veers had a plan for attacking the vessel, and wished to be there for when the raid took place. Samuel just hoped the Grand Moff Knew what he was doing.
