Chapter Four Mopping up
Wedge Antilles stared in shock at the place where the Pyramid ship had been before it deified all hyperspace laws and jumped out deep in a planet's gravity well.
He shook himself out of his shock and scowled darkly, the cowards, he'd find them soon enough and make them pay for what they'd done here.
"Status report!" he demanded of his female Calamarian sensor officer.
The sensor officer shook herself out of her shock, "I'm reading multiple squadrons of fighters in the atmosphere, they're bombarding all quarters of the city sir!" she exclaimed anger.
"Relay to all squadron leaders, I want those fighters out of my skies now!" he ordered as adrenaline surged once more through his body, "What about on the ground?" he quickly added.
The officer checked her screens before shaking her head, "I've got no signals coming from the surface at all, the main communication array seems to have been hit, there's not even any civilian chatter sir," she reported mournfully.
"Prepare three assault shuttles for a ground assault, Three Stars squadron is to escort them," Wedge ordered before turning back to look out the view port, which showed a serene world unmarred from an orbital perspective despite all the bloodshed that had already occurred.
Wedges stared for a few moments before adding, "And tell all our troopers, that I want prisoners…"

Down on Atlaris the Jaffa left behind by their god Tutu were finally beginning to realise that something had changed, the strange object that had suddenly appeared in the sky was there first clue.
The second was when the several of the Deathgliders supporting them suddenly exploded in midair, showering the Jaffa with a small rain of metal.
The Jaffa on the ground watched as small wedge shaped ships flew past the gliders at breakneck speed after the initial attack. The Glides turned to flow them and avenge their destroyed brethren were then caught flat footed as a second larger group of fighters assaulted their rears, bring down even more fighters.
The second group of fighters were made up of two types of fighters, one type was shaped like the gliders but was more square then the round and curved gliders, while the second group had long noses and x shaped wings.
The gliders finally managed to get off some shots as the massed number of fighters began mixing it up and dogfighting. Golden plasma blasts from the Deathgliders began answering the red and blue energy blasts of the unknown enemy.
The Jaffa continued to watch the Deathgliders duel it out with the other fighters (after finding cover from falling debris) until trouble found them as well.

Later that day after the pacification of all enemy forces, onboard the Anakin Solo
"Uh sir," called out the young communications officer, Lieutenant Ackman of the Anakin Solo to Admiral Antilles.
"What is it lieutenant?" Wedge asked.
"Uh sir, we've got a signal from the planet from a man claiming to be Boba Fett…" Ackman said in awe.
Wedge looked at Ackman pointedly, "Fett here?" he asked in surprise, "What's he doing here?"
"Uh…he didn't say sir, but he is saying that he has a prisoner that we want to talk to," Ackman retorted timidly.
Wedge frowned, "Who?" he asked cautiously.
Ackman talked into his headset for second, he listened for a few more seconds and then blinked before turning in disbelief to face Wedge, "Apparently he's captured the enemy leader that led the ground assault!" he uttered in amazement.
Wedge looked at Ackman as if he had grown horns, "He's got who?" he sputtered in dumbfoundment.

That night in his quarters Wedge grimly went over the casualty reports of this surprise attack, his forces had suffered only minimal losses after the Pyramid ship had retreated, the fighters left behind had dealt with quickly, though the remaining ground forces had put up a terrific fight, even when surrounded and out gunned they'd not retreated or surrendered. Prisoners had been few and far in-between, and those few did not have the sort of information he needed to find their leader.
Wedge snorted, the only forthcoming useful prisoner had been the one he'd paid for with an assault shuttle, and Boba Fett had managed to work over the Jaffa called Ta'chan well before handing him over. Ta'chan had been very forthcoming even to the point of giving the coordinates of his master's main base.
Unfortunately, the manner in which he gave them was currently being deciphered, and even worse, this was the only way Ta'chan knew how to express what he knew.
Those six symbols he'd written down were currently giving his analysts fits.
The other information given by Ta'chan was that Atlaris had been attacked by a species known as the Goa'uld and the warriors were a species created by the Goa'uld called Jaffa. These Jaffa, like Ta'chan seemed to worship the Goa'uld and as far as Wedge was concerned this was just going to be yet another headache.
Wedge closed his eyes in pain, religious fanatics are the worst, he thought darkly.
Wedge signed, opened his eyes and turned back to the worst part of his report…the losses of the colony. It angered him that the worst was the civilian losses…when he'd first received this report he'd thought somebody had handed him an old report about a small colony that had been invaded by a small Yuuzhan Vong assault force. The civilian casualties where so high, even in defeat the Jaffa had continued firing on everything that moved even civilians that got in the crossfire between them and his troops. And before reinforcements had arrived
Wedge felt himself unconsciously grinding his teeth, there had been no call for that at all!
And worse, were the stories of strange and advanced technology, first a hyperdrive that worked in a gravity well, then second, the device Ta'chan called a chappa'ai, and his allegations that it was some sort of long range transportation device and third , the few survivors that of the second turbolaser installation claimed that they came under attack by assault shuttles that just appeared above them from thin air.
It that didn't describe ships with cloaking shields then Wedge didn't know what…
Any further thoughts were cut off by the squawking of his comm, he reached fro and it and said grimly, "Antilles here, go."
Ackman's excited voice came over the comm, "Sir, we've just received word form General Celchu."
"And?" Wedge prompted impatiently.
"Sir, I'm glad to report that he's found Colonel Solo!" Ackman reportedly buoyantly, "He also saying he's made contact with natives of this galaxy…friendly natives," Ackman quickly qualified, "Plus one other surprise, he wouldn't what," finished Ackman.
Okay maybe not that bad of day then…
"Excellent, tell Tycho we'll meet back at HQ after I've completely secured Atlaris," Wedge said happily. Finding Jaina had defiantly helped his mood, Han and Leia were already on their way here, this would be one piece of news he'd be happy to share with them.
Encouraged he turned back to his reports.
