The Phennir exploded in a ball of red light. Asa stared as the Carida failed to rescue it in time.

Asa snapped an order." Have the Carida raise its shields to maximum power. Where is the Lusankya?"

"At the designated location sir! Batteries firing...now!"

Green turbolasers arced from the Allegiance -class Star Destroyer as they rained onto the Vessel. The Vessel almost seems to snarl as it turned its gun onto the Carida.

Its picking us off, Asa thought to himself. Its showing us that it is capable of destroying us one by one and we can do frak all to stop them.

Asa grit his teeth. "Have the Serenno and the Calderon advanced from below us, approach at the Y vector, mark 213. Theyll come up right below the Vessel. It wont have time to bring its weapon to bear."

"Aye sir."

Bringing attention to his ship by firing was contrary to every command rule he'd every learned but Asa itched with anger at not being allowed to fire as well. The Phennir, lost...

An idea struck him.

"Mesage Captain Varceal. And bring us to advance at half thrust. Full power to forward shields."

The entire bridge seemed to lose its breath at that moment. "S-sir?" The helm questioned.

"Obey my orders." Asa snapped. " At once!"
