Star Wars

Clone Cavalry

The Wars End

As the battle raged high above Coruscant, a group of four-hundred steaks slowed and became recognizable as republic fighters. "Triple Zero High Command, the Calvary has arrived" the lead fighter called out on an open frequency.

"Jymn, this is Cody, we need you and the two-fourteenth to take out this droid staging area" as he said it a hologram appeared in Jymn's V-19 showing dozens of droid landing barges.

"Rodger that, how's the situation" Jymn said while typing into his instrument display panel informing the other fighters of their goal

"Not bad on the ground. Master Yoda and Windu are leading troops towards the senate and Thire is mopping up some droids in the assembly areas"

"Rodger that. Jymn over and out." Jymn switched to the wing frequency "214 time to hit the deck" and rolled his fighter over and dived straight down at Coruscant's towering… Towers.

Minutes later Jymn and the four-hundred other fighters of wing 214 soared above the gleaming skyscrapers of the city planet when Jymn radioed "Arc fighters up front, lock your S-foils in attack position. They will be coming up in a few seconds. Fourth squadron, you have the interception role. Third squad, take out anti-air emplacements."

"Sir," one of the Arc fighter pilots radioed, "Long range sensors indicate the enemy is fifty clicks away and has fifty-some barges."

"Rodger that" Jymn said and thought to himself that this would be a turkey shoot.

Fifty clicks away droid commander OOM-37 was busy organizing the landing barges and droid forces when his sonic sensors detected a high pitch whine. He turned and his optical sensors registered a large group of starfighter sized objects. "uh-oh uh-oh" he said before turning and ordering a full scale defense.

Commander Jymn saw the droids starting to fire at his fighters and said "So much for stealth, all forces full speed, fire at will!" and barrel-rolled to evade a flak burst, but he was thankful that there weren't any droid fighters. As Jymn began his attack run he targeted a group of armored transports with his missiles and then a group of droids with his cannons.

Jymn was partially annoyed because he couldn't tell how much damage he had done due to the laser and missile fire of the other fighters looking exactly the same, but still glad because they would only need one more pass and they could move on to a new target.

The next pass Jymn targeted a landing barge that still had a large amount of troops inside it and had somehow escaped the first run unscathed. Jymn fired his remaining missiles and let loose a long stream of cannon fire into it. Then he pulled up slightly and sent a stream of fire into a company of droids.

Jymn pulled up and then circled around the area surveying it. The fifty massive landing barges were all completely destroyed. One had been shot down while still in the air and crashed onto two more, destroying them as well. Jymn couldn't stop himself from laughing when he saw a large armored transport embedded in a skyscraper. "All right 214, nice job. Third squadron, your on clean-up. Everybody else, let's head towards the senate."
