The
Imperials stood ready. Scattered along the mountains, awaiting the
attack after 4 hours. The guns were kept in place and everything was
set and ready. Imperial dreadnoughts orbited the planet, working as
scouts. No one expected an early attack. No one.
Dreadnought Unit
319 was the first to witness the attack. She was calmly floating in
the space outside Ord Magniola when suddenly, out of hyperspace, the
clone army jumped out. The dreadnought opened fire but was too late.
The clone lasers broke the ship into 4 pieces.
Alerted, the other
dreadnoughts started attacking the clones, but the clones were just
too strong for them.
Stingers shot from the underground
hangars and caused a nuisance to the clones. The clone carriers were
big and bulky, yet had amazing firepower. The stingers broke off the
balloon shooters and aimed for the cockpits. The clones on the other
hand, bombed the mountains. The troop carriers landed and the ground
war began. Stormtroopers used guerrilla tactics and evaded the clones
who were infiltrating and destroying the Imperials.
The chief
stormtrooper officer was making his plans.
"It's not
possible! They cannot attack so early! Must contact Lord... Must
contact lord..."
After
the last clone ship left, Qollous gave the signal and the ships,
cloaked and hidden infiltrated Coruscant. Their first targets were
the senate buildings and other head buildings. On sensing stingers,
Luke commanded the X-Wing and Clone squadrons to attack
immediately.
The stingers bombed every part of precious Coruscant,
softening it for the future attack. As Jaden flew towards the
horizon, he made a startling discovery. "Wait a minute... The
clones left early. It is just afternoon when the attack was expected
at even..." he was cut off by a comlink message.
"Lord
Qollous, we are under heavy attack, we..." an explosion was
heard in the background.
"Unit! Officer!" yelled
Qollous at the comlink.
No reply.
"Blast it! We lost Ord
Magniola. All stingers retreat, repeat, all stingers retreat to
Scorate. We have lost Ord Magniola".
"Roger." the
others replied.
"You guys head on, I've got some business
here..." said Qollous.
The stinger shot off. The Jedi were
chasing them into space. Qollous positioned his stinger behind Luke's
X-Wing and fired. Luke evaded the shot and the two engaged in a tight
dogfight.
"You know the plans?" asked Qollous.
"Yep"
replied the head pilot "Let's dump them in Troxica!"
