"Watch yourself! Fighters coming in!"
"Cot it, Blue Leader," I snapped back as squadrons
of TIE fighters erupted from the
Imperial
Protec-
tor's
launch bay and formed up between us and the
carrier. "Who's ambushing whom here?" I dodged
incoming fire from the
Protector.
It was more irritat-
ing than accurate a t this range, b u t that was chang-
ing by the moment as our X-wing squadron rapidly
closed the distance to the target.
Never mind that it wasn't the target we expected.
This wasn't even the first time this had happened.
Our raids along Ral's Run proved that either the
Imperials regularly swapped out their supply ships,
or that o u r spy network wasn't as accurate as we
hoped. Today was proof that it needed to be much
better. Instead of an armed star galleon with a light
escort vessel, we faced an Imperial escort carrier
and its fighters.
"No sign of a star galleon," Blue Seven reported,
with a hint of disappointment.
"This has to be a setup," I said. It wasn't the first
time that had happened either. "They're on to us."
"Doesn't matter, Blue Five," replied Blue Leader.
"Everyone, you know your targets. Co now."
armor. As usual, my laser fire tracked just behind
my target in a futile a t t e m p t t o score a hit.
"This isn't working, Six. We..." An enormous burst
of green energy shredded my shields and jolted my
fighter as a pair of interceptors flashed by. I yanked
the stick around and squeezed off a snap shot. To
my surprise, only three laser streams bracketed the
fighter, but it worked anyway. An explosion of green,
ionized gas scattered debris and marked the inter-
ceptor's end.
The other fighter peeled off, running from the
deadly laser fire of another X-wing. I hoped it wasn't
Dex again, b u t remembered that her assignment
was attacking the carrier. Bolts, my back-seat astro-
mech, squealed through the comlink. It only took
one glance out the cockpit window to see why. My
upper port laser cannon was gone, along with a
chunk of wing t i p . Damage control systems reported
the rest of the story.
"Bolts, reroute power from the cannon to the
shields. Try t o buy us some time." The simultaneous
attacks had blasted through my shields in one pass.
My wingman was worse off, limping away from the
battle and trying to clear the planet's gravity well to
jump to hyperspace and safety. I was isolated and
cut off from the rest of the squadron, a dangerous
spot for any fighter.
The squadron surged forward. We could destroy
the carrier with our proton torpedoes, but we had to

me off. If I was destroyed, he would easily catch Six.
Blast i t — t h e y were TIE interceptors.
I had a straightforward and crazy plan to save us.
"Hey, Five, it's your favorite targets," Blue Seven
teased, "Bet you don't make ace today!"
"Just you watch, Dex," I shot back in irritation.
She was right. I'd never scored an interceptor kill.
They were top-line fighters flown by Imperial aces. I
usually needed rescuing. Worse, Dex earned her ace
•designation by saving me twice.
Bright green laser fire lanced through our forma-
tion as the interceptors came into range. Half of us
engaged the fighters, and the rest of the squadron
punched through their lines to attack the carrier.
The faster interceptors engaged us while relatively
slower standard TIE fighters defended the ship.
I hoped my extra hours in the simulators paid off, or
this wasn't going to end well. My wingman, Blue Six,
and I fired quick bursts from our four wingtip lasers
as we broke off and everyone chose their targets. The
shape of the battle changed from mass ambush tac-
tics to dogfights between individual pilots.
Six and I tried to take down a pair of intercep-
tors chasing Blue Nine. They broke off their attack
and circled back around. Our X-wings couldn't beat
the interceptors on speed or maneuverability, b u t
we had equal firepower, better shields and better
"Bolts! M a x o u t t h e forward shields! Give 'em
everything except guns and engines." If this didn't
work, we wouldn't be around to need anything else.
I aimed t h e ship at the incoming Imperial and put
my craft into a tight barrel roll. I hoped the concen-
trated laser barrage would make up for the missing
weapon and disrupt the Imperial's attacks.
He met my challenge head on. Laser fire slammed
into my shields. I was betting I could, hit the
unshielded interceptor before my shields evapo-
rated. He couldn't withstand a direct strike! One of
my shots slashed across his dagger-like wing, forc-
ing him t o alter course and shoot wide. I instantly
broke my roll and blasted him with everything I had.
M o m e n t u m took me through the exploding fireball.
"Hey Dex, wrong again!" I yelled into my comm.
"Say hello to our squadron's latest ace!"
The Imperial carrier exploded, lighting up every
surviving ship in the area.
"That's great, Five." Dex responded. "But say hello
to our first capital ship ace. Let's see you top that one!"
I turned my ship towards Blue Six and sighed.
Clearly, I still had a long way to go.
