"Okay Worms, throttle up."
Dirt was worried. This would be the biggest fight since Wendor. Perhaps bigger. Worm Squadron had arrived just in time.
Dirt saw a dozen or so Assault Shuttles, that meant Battle Razors and hover tanks. He fired a torpedo at the lead shuttle, damaged it, then finished it off with a second and a third. But enemy ships attacked.
"Avengers at Point Five!" Dirt yelled as he focused his sights on an Avenger, hit it with a burst, and then went into evasive maneuvers trying to get in a favorable firing position and staying alive in the process.
He finally finished it off with two direct hits; he turned towards the Worm Destroyers and emptied his missiles at another Assault Shuttle, bringing it down. Another Avenger fell to his guns before he was forced to retreat by heavy turbolaser fire. It was a marvelous day for Worm Squadron, they had routed the shuttles, Wouruscant was not in danger of ground invasion, and he had scored four kills. How long will his luck last?
