"!#$% it Worm Two where are you?" Commander Dirt Wantilles was busy
engaging Termite Interceptors and had an enemy fighter on his tail.
"Right with you boss." Dirt cocked his head backed to see his pursuer
explode into a cloud of dust, vaporized by Worm Two's lasers. He returned
his gaze to the battle around him. He noticed a lone Interceptor off his
11'o clock; He veered his fighter into a snap roll towards his left and had
his target locked by his targeting computer. Adjusting the power level of
his lasers, he ended the dogfight with four quick shots.
Meanwhile on the Wormeara, Grand Admiral Worm noticed that the battle was going well; they had already destroyed one frigate and had crippled another, with the loss of only four fighters. "You see Captain..." he started lecturing, "By being below the enemy we can take advantage of the Worm Frigate's blind spot on the bottom of their hull." Welleon couldn't help but smile... the Wormeara had 60 Turbolaser batteries, opposed to four and now two frigates with 10 each, which couldn't even fire back. An hour later it was all over.
"Hmm. Yet another council meeting," thought Councilor (and princess) Weia. It had been five years since the Worm Republic had been founded and she was still working to set-up a functioning government. Also at the meeting was Won Wothma, Admiral Wackbar, and councilor W'evila. "In recent news a task force of four frigates was completely annihilated by a single Termite Worm Destroyer..." Won Wothma continued on her briefing. "Wait," Weia interrupted, "Annihilated?" "I'm afraid that is correct," Won Wothma replied. "How? The Termites have been in retreat for years, they just don't have the ability to do that." The council chamber went quiet; until Wackbar broke the silence. "What it means is we must find out who was in command of that Worm destroyer. If this happens again we could lose the very systems we have fought so hard for." Councilor Weia nodded. "I'll put intelligence on it right away," she interjected. "Then this meeting is adjourned."
