"Gray Six….Gray Two. Close up tighter on me and give me some cover.", Poe Dameron commanded. "There's a lot of flak coming from those guns at the base of the bridge and we still have drones locked on us."

Both starfighters zoomed in closer to their leader and all three unloaded simultaneously at the topside of the large enemy bomber. Multiple bright explosions littered the hull at the points of impact as the three X-Wings blew by the bridge. Just behind Poe's strafing run were five Y-Wings launching torpedoes at the bridge itself. As he swung around the backside of the vessel, he noticed on his monitor that the torpedo run had just torn a small hole in the hull of the craft.

"We broke through.", he cried as he banked a complete one-eighty to begin running the length of the bomber from back to front. "White squadron….get over here and bring some more heat. We need to pound at this spot. Setup on coordinates six-five mark two."

As he cleared the long dreadnought and was heading back towards Nuldarra he noticed something that brought an immediate smile to his face made his heart almost skip a beat. The heretofore blacked out silhouette of the Ackbar blinked to life like a Coruscant entertainment district at night. Its massive guns began raining blue laser blasts that zipped by his cockpit window as if he was flying through a storm of ice crystals in the atmosphere of a gas giant.

"Ackbar command." Poe called out with delight in his voice. "Glad you guys had the common decency to join us. We didn't want to keep all the fun to ourselves."

"We just wanted to let you guys handle the easy stuff". Came the callback from the monstrous New Republic ship. "Would you care for some fighter support?"

"If it's not too much trouble, yeah.", Poe replied. "Send a few out to join us."

Poe watched as about fifty of the New Republic stealth fighters emerged from four different launch bays on the Ackbar's hull. They were bigger than any fighter that he had ever flown before….huge V shaped flying "wings" with eight laser cannons on the front side and three pods in the back that were manned by droid gunners. Not only did they pack an awesome offensive punch but they were built with the promise of being invisible to the simpler types of starship scanners by use of experimental cloaking technology.

It wasn't more than thirty seconds after Poe witnessed the New Republic craft launch, than they were tearing through the enemy fighters and drones with ease. Dozens of the gray pyramid shaped ships were disintegrated in an instant along with the pesky parasites that had detached from them earlier.

"We have less than twenty minutes until they can fire their cannons again.", Poe informed Ackbar command. "Give us everything you can to knock those bombers out. We can't let them fire."

"Copy, commander Dameron.", came the response. "We'll train all our turbolaser batteries on them and give them a whallop."

Poe hoped beyond hope that it would be enough.
