Captain Rignheirt Evers: Copy that.
The blast doors seal off the breached areas.
Comm-officer Doln: You are clear to remove the Imperial vermin from our hull.

"Roger that, Hope. Red group, open fire."
The Dart starfighters of Red group unleashed their great fires on the Imperial docking clamps, and they detonated in brilliant colors. Just then, new waves of fighters swarmed from the Imperial starships.
"We have company", Vali reported to his squadron. "Blue and Red, break formation. Circle back and catch em' from behind. Gold group, maintain flight pattern and bank starboard on my mark. They won't catch us."
As the different groups carried out their orders, another was heard from Commander Vali. "Fire at will".

Marcus and his squad put on pressure suits and helmets and then exit an airlock, their mag-boots keeping them attached to the ships hull. Starkiller has a rocket launcher on his shoulder and aims it at an incoming boarding craft. The missile finds it's mark and the craft explodes.
Marcus: Red Group, this is Commander Starkiller, we have cover fire... Light them TIEs boys!

D'oroth Thi puts on her armored pressurized suit with magnetic boots, and arms herself with a rocket launcher as well. She exits the ship, locks on to an enemy TIE, and opens fire on it, destroying the fighter.

Vali watched as the small boarding craft detonated. "That commander sure packs a punch." "Copy that, Gold Leader." Kor Vali smiled, but spoke quickly. "Alright, folks, we still have a job to do. All fighters break and go after the TIEs."
"Roger, Gold Leader. Breaking to engage."
The small force of fighters broke formation, and went after their own targets.

A damaged ARC-170 slams into the hull of the corvette, near Starkiller, killing five of his squad troops. Marcus is alive, just afew burns to his suit. The new TIE fighters start to light up the hull with laser fire. A blast of emerald plasma from one of the fighters sends Starkiller flying away from the ship.
Marcus: Mayday. This is Commander Starkiller, I am floating away from the ship and need pickup. Repeat, this is Commander Starkiller, I am floating away from the ship and need pickup.

"Honing in on your signal, Commander." Vali's fighter turned towards Marcus' body, only the smallest speck in the universe. Easy, now, Vali thought to himself. Coming up slowly on Starkiller, Vali had Marcus grab on to his fighter's nose. As soon as Marcus grabbed on, a TIE approached the front. Vali knew that he couldn't fly away fast enough, or Marcus would fall off.
But just then, a brilliant red bolt hit the TIE and left it in flames. Both Kor and Marcus looked up, and the welcome shape of the Scarlet Republic came down upon them, it's hanger bay doors opening. "Bring him in, Gold Leader", Captain Ral's voice said. "We'll pick up the rest afterwards."

Marcus: Thank the stars...
Once the fighter is aboard, Marcus removes his pressure suit and is called to the bridge. Once he arrives, he sees a Jedi Master standing near a window. Marcus could have sworn that he had seen this Jedi somewhere.
Marcus: Thanks for the save. Anyway, what do you want?

The Captain answered. "You called for reinforcements. Here we are. But your remaining men still need guidance. Please take that terminal there." He gestured to an empty console. Nik looked at the stranger, sensing a great potential for using the Force. "Hmmm....", he said.

Marcus: Yes sir. Sir, my ship was passing through your system on the way to Lamaredd when the Imps jumped us.
The fox looked at the Jedi.
Marcus: Master Jedi, I remember seeing you shortly after the mission at Galidran. My father was the commanding officer of the Pride of the Republic, he was killed a month ago while trying to save two Jedi.

ooc: I'm assuming that the space battle is over now. If not, I'll change my post here.
D'oroth Thi returns to the ship. Once she is back in a pressurized environment, she takes off her suit and puts away her rocket launcher. She then heads to the command bridge, to see check on the casualty report.

"Captain.... Zack Starkiller, if I am correct? Galidran would not have been a victory without his leadership. His loss is a great one, indeed." Nik lowered his head briefly. "It should not be this way, others dying to protect Jedi. We are the protectors, the keepers of the peace. This Purge.... It is the work of an evil man."

ooc: the fighting is still going on. but you don't need to change the post. her squad could still be on the ships hull.
ic:
Ensign Rina Suzia: For the Alliance!
She pulls a sniper rifle from her back and takes aim at an incoming TIE fighter. She pulls on the trigger and the round breaches the cockpit and the pilots head. The uncontroled fighter slams into it's wingmate and explodes.
Meanwhile aboard the Badgenese warship:
Marcus: I know... Because of what he did, the Empire hunted down and killed the remainder of my family. I am the only one of the Starkiller bloodline left.

ooc: Oh, okay then. In that case, she just left to get more ammunition.
D'oroth Thi returns to the ship's outside hull armed and armored. She spots another TIE fighter, and opens fire on it. The rocket clips off a wing on the TIE, and it spirals wildly out of control, before exploding.

"Which makes it all the more important to save what Jedi we have left. I suggest that you take your post, and guide your men while they are out there."
------------------------------------------------------------
Koran(Kor) Vali winced as another TIE exploded in front of him, temporarily blinding him. "Gold leader to Home." "Home here, Gold Leader", Captain Ral's voice replied. "Nearly finished up out here. I don't think that the TIE's have any shields, they blow up so easily." "The new Emperor holds no value in life", Master Vecto chimed in. "Why value it for his own troops? Shields are a luxury in his eyes, and too expensive for his masses. Besides, he'll just 'get more'. He is a man whose mind is poisoned, and at the whim of the Dark Side. He can, and will do much worse before this war is over".
"Roger, Master Vecto. Gold Leader ou--- Wait a moment.... What's that?"
The sensors on Vali's fighter glowed and beeped with increasing intensity, and several new shapes appeared on his viewscreen. "Droid, identify new arrivals." His Astromech droid whistled in it's socket, and scanned the new ships. They appeared on Kor's screen as.... "The Scarlet Claws! Captain, the Scarlet Claws are here! I repeat, the Scarlet Claws!"
--------------------------------------------
Back on board the Scarlet Republic, Nik frowned with the slightest glimmer of hatred. "The Scarlet Claws", he said to Starkiller, "Are an anti-Jedi military faction whose sole purpose is to eradicate the Jedi. They are made up of former Badgenese soldiers."
From the window in front of them, they could see the stolen Dart starfighters, entirely painted in blood-red, forming into a triangle formation. "Computer says nearly 30 fighters", Ral said to his bridge crew. "All fighters, move to engage new arrivals. I repeat, engage new arrivals. They have the same fighters, so focus."

Marcus: Master Vecto, you rated as a good pilot?
Marcus takes off in the direction of the hanger bay.
Marcus: Deck officer! I need a fighter!

D'oroth Thi notices a new group of fighters coming in. Though they appear to be similar to the friendly ones, she notices that these are painted differently. She is unsure whether or not to open fire on, until she sees the friendly craft open fire on them. She gets aims her rocket launcher at one of them, and prepares to open fire.

D'oroth Thi opens fire at an enemy craft, but it shoots the incoming projectile before it can do damage. She fires a second shot, this time hitting the craft, and destroying it.

"Starkiller, wait", Nik said as the young fox took off. Captain Ral called after him. "We need him to guide his men, Master Vecto. Have the deck officer configure his comlink to communicate to all friendly craft and personnel". "I will return to the bridge shortly,
Captain--"
The captain interrupted him. "That will not be necessary. I would prefer it if you were to take command of the fighter squadron. You have the most experience with the Claws."
Vecto looked at him, his eyebrows creasing. "Yes, Captain", he said, and followed Starkiller to the hanger bay.
-------------------------------
Deck Officer Koza Dax watched a young fox in a Commander's uniform run into his hanger, and quickly request a fighter. "Whoa, hold on, kid. I can't just give a fighter to anyone who asks! I need to see your authorization, signed by the captain...."
As he said this, he saw Jedi Master Nik Vecto stroll in beside Commander Starkiller. "The Captain gives him full authorization, Dax. Give him a Dart, and configure it to communicate with all friendly frequencies". A little taken aback, Dax started heading toward the nearest Dart that hadn't gone along with the squadron. "Uh, sure, Master Vecto. Uh, anything else?" "Yes", he replied. "Ready my Jedi Starfighter. I will be taking command of the squadron."
------------------------------------
Kor Vali jerked to the side as another of his wingmates was destroyed. Three fighters down, already, he thought, and led his remaining wingmen up towards Galactic North. "Gold Group, initiate attack pattern Alpha-5 on my signal.... Mark!"
Instantly, the tight formation of Darts split into a flower shape, making a full turnaround at different speeds.. The pursuing fighters followed suit, led by a single jet-black starfighter. Gold Three was slow enough to have an enemy chasing Gold Five go past him, and took him out from the rear. This continued with the other fighters, until all six of the tailing fighters were destroyed. "Yeehaw!!!", Gold Seven shouted. "We're pasting em!" "Don't celebrate yet, seven", Vali said. "This is far from over".
A buzz sounded on Vali's intercom, indicationg a message from the Scarlet Republic. "Gold Leader, this is Ral. Master Vecto and the Hope's troop commander are joining you. Commander Starkiller will be joining Gold Group, and Master Vecto will take command of the squadron with the designation 'Alpha Leader'. Is that understood?" "Roger, Captain. Switching command relays now".
Master Vecto's voice sounded throughout the Squadron. "Gold and Red Groups to me. The Scarlet Claws are sending troops to the Hope of the Jedi Order. They must not reach their destination".
