Chapter 8
End of the Republic's Fleet
Han, Luke, Leia and Chewbacca were taken aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser Vigilant where Han tried to organize the spread out fleet. However it was too late as the rest of the Imperial fleet reviled themselves. With one blast form a Super Star Destroyer an entire Nebulon-B Frigate was completely destroyed.
"That looked like a Death Star blast!" Luke yelled as the ship imploded on itself.
"Now you see what we were doing the past few months," Laughed the voice of an imperial officer who was broadcasting on all frequencies. A second shot from the Super Star Destroyer annihilated another Mon Calamari Cruiser. Han ordered the fleet to close with the imperials.
"Don't let them breath!" Han yelled into the COM.
"Commander lay me along side at blaster shot!" yelled the Capitan of Corellian Corvette as he closed with an Imperial destroyer.
"Wedge Antilles here! Rogue squadron engaging enemy fighters!" Wedge yelled into the COM of his X-wing. Six Star Destroyers fired blasts into the Republic fleet breaking up the formation. Two Republic ships were damaged and just barely escaped into Hyperspace as three Star Destroyers bore down on them. There was chaos throughout the fleet and the Republic forces began to rout. Luke, Chewbacca, Liea and the ever trustworthy R2-D2 and C3PO boarded the Millenium Falcon that was docked in the bay of the Vigilant but just as Han was about to bored there was a massive explosion that caused a rafter to fall on him he was trapped and ordered Chewbacca to get everyone out. Obeying his friend to the last Chewbacca flew the Falcon out just as the Vigilant exploded. Mala was still crying in the bay on Hoth as outside a Republic Nebulon-B Frigate crashed to the surface.
