They shot out of hyperspace at the same time, hundreds of them, tossing simultaneous blaster fire and countless missiles into unsuspecting star destroyers. Imperial officers clutched walls and railings to support themselves in the rumbling corridors. It happened so fast none knew for sure what was happening until the fire stopped and the radars revealed the fleeting ships.
"Alert the emperor!" cried several elite officers on different ships.
The Rebel fleet had arrived.
Wedge Antilles whooped as he raced the Millennium Falcon over an unsuspecting Star Destroyer, raking it with laser fire. Then he took the ship down into Coruscant's thin atmosphere. He smiled to his copilot, a fellow Rogue pilot named Shonn Fooley. Shonn glared out the window contemplatively, his mind lost on something not revealed on his light brown face.
The Rebels swooped around for the second pass, obliterating newly released TIE fighters on the way to the bigger ships. Peoples around the world could see the mighty battle above. Imperial warships rose up from docking bays to join the fleet.
Wedge smirked as they passed him by, paying the Millennium Falcon no mind. "We made it in, buddy. What's it take to make you smile?"
Shonn cast an expressionless gaze on Wedge, then furrowed his brow and said, "Did you say something?"
