Mission Briefing

"Welcome to the Outer Rim, pilots. Our convoy is currently en route to a hidden Rebel Base in the Parmel Sector, and you’ll be on escort duty until we arrive.

We’ve picked up a group of enemy signals in the nearby asteroid field; likely an Imperial patrol. Intercept those ships, and keep them away from the convoy until we can execute a hyperspace jump to ensure our base remains hidden.

Good luck!"

Mission Action

Seeing two squads of Empire Tie Fighters approaching from the distance, our Rebel pilots decide to split into two squads to force a separation of Empire ships. The two Rebel Y-Wing Fighters, consisting of Raven and Yolo, teamed up on one side of the sector while the three X-Wing Fighters, Aubringer, Eagle,and Blaque Jaques, formed up on the other. Flying as fast as each squad could towards the Empire ships, the Rebels were successful in splitting the two Tie-Fighter squads.

The X-Wing squad engaged Tie-Fighter squad Alpha in the middle of the asteroid field, while the Y-Wing squad engaged Tie-Fighter squad Beta in open space. It became clear pretty quickly that this was the first combat mission for Tie-Fighter squad Alpha, as they immediately broke formation and were in no position to engage any of the X-Wing fighters. While Tie-Fighter squad Beta had a clear and well planned objective by relentlessly targetting the Rebel Squad Leader Yolo.

After several rounds of combat Squad Leader Yolo was pretty banged up, while the X-Wing Squad made short work of their Empire counterparts. The remaing Tie-Fighters were able to send out a call for support as two Empire Tie-Interceptors showed up for battle. The Interceptors decided to pick up where the Tie-Fighter squad Beta left off, by concentrating fire in the Rebel Squad Leader Yolo. It became clear in order to survive, Yolo needed to jump into Hyperspace to fight another day. His Y-Wing squadmate, Raven, plotted an intercept course while Yolo spun up his hyperspace drive. The intercept course worked as the Tie-Interceptors diverted their attention to Raven, allowing Yolo to successfully activate his three hyperspace drives and escape.

Meanwhile on the other side of the sector, after a short lived celebration against Tie-Fighter squad Alpha, another squad of Tie-Fighters appeared behind the X-Wing heroes. Out of position to properly engage the new squad of Tie-Fighters, Aubringer, Eagle, and Raven charged forward to engage the Tie-Inteceptor squad, while Blaque Jaques performed evasive manuevers to stop the Tie-Fighter advance. Realizing the Inteceptor squad was adequately covered, Aubringer pushes his ship to the stressing point to spin around and assist Blaques Jaques. As a few more rounds passed, Eagle brought his exceptional piloting abilities to show as he was able to destroy both Tie-Interceptors, while Raven, Aubringer and Blaque Jaques whittle down the last Tie-Fighter squad.
