*Dakria and Zarrot, and a handful of other soldiers in dark uniforms watch the speeder down by the bottom of the river* *lowers his electrobinoculars* "Think they're looking for us?" "Who else?" "So what's the plan?" "Depends on what they find. If they find the base, we're gonna have to take them out. If not, we'll let them go. We're playing on the defensive." "Allright, want me to take some troops down to the base, just in case?" "No, let's see what they're doing, first." *nods, and goes back to watching the speeder*

*is still watching Kad's forces* "They've found the base." "What are we going to do?" "Take some men down, and follow them in, I'll take my men, and circle around, and come in from the front." "Yes sir." *stands up and runs over to where his men are* "All right, let's move."

*Yazzen's starships fly down into the canyons* "Commander, we'll be there in two minutes." Yazzen spoke through the comm. "All troops prepare for engagement." He grabbed his rifle and unbuckled himself. He left the cockpit and made his way to one of the two exits. The troopers were ready. They all heard two heavy cannon rounds from one of the other transports and an explosion. Their transport landed in moments, and the doors slid open, the ramps fell into place as they charged out of the transport. *move to Rebel Base*

Walter Stale's black gunship squadron roared down the canyons, flying low over the water to avoid detection for as long as possible. Behind him, Dolar's gunships flew at the same speed so as not to pass Walter's, nor fall behind Yazzen's blue gunships which were behind Dolar's. Kad was approaching from the north, heading down towards the Resistance base.
Walter sat in the back of the gunship. His carbine was in his right hand. It was his favored weapon. His left hand remained free. He stood and ordered the the gunships into battle position. The two side walls suddenly retracted two feet, creating a hissing sound. They then folded out, forming wings. From the bottom of each wing appeared a rocket launcher. Walter reached up and grabbed the safety netting above his head. He looked out at the speeding canyons. His gaze found its way up to the starlit sky.
It was a glorious night to crush the Rebellion on.

Dolar's men were preparing to repel down from the gunships. They were to be the first ones on the ground. Their job was to find the entrance to the rebel base. Walter's men would then deploy and they would storm the base. Dolar looked down at the river speeding by below them. This wasn't his style. He preferred doing things on his own and in his own way. I'm not meant for the army, Dolar told himself as he pushed his power pack to make sure it was in all the way. The black gunships ahead of Dolar's Regiment entered battle position. Dolar ordered his regiment to do the same. The air suddenly whipped through the air making Dolar squint.
"Hug the river!" Dolar shouted into his comlink. Immediately, the grey gunships all dove down and flew directly over the river. "This is it!" Dolar shouted, attaching his repelling line.

Yazzen gripped the safety netting above him with his left hand. He was looking down into the river. Suddenly a rocket launched out of the waves up towards the flying gunships. "EVASIVE MANEUVERS!!" Yazzen said. He let go of his blaster rifle, letting it fall down and hang on its sling, and grabbed the safety netting with both hands as the gunship swung to the side to avoid the rocket. Yazzen was standing closer to the edge of the gunship looking down at the water, and when the gunship almost rolled to avoid the rocket, he was lifted off his feet. He hung onto the netting as he hung out of the gunship. It seemed to take forever for the gunship to right itself, but finally it did and Yazzen's feet were back on the floor. One of the soldiers helped pull him into the gunship completely. Rockets were now coming out from the river, sending all the gunships into evasive maneuvers. The rebels knew they were here now.

Red blimps started appearing on the gunships' screens. Walter put a hand to his ear to make sure the transmitter was secure, then said, "All units, watch for enemy fighters!" He quickly connected to one of the ground soldiers' HUD to see what was happening. They were taking down turrents, it looked like. It wouldn't be long before they found the entrance to the base. He turned off the HUD display and commed Kad on the private channel. "Kad, what's your position?" [red]<< "My Division is coming in from the North at full throttle. Estimated arrival time: 2 minutes. Do you want me to slow down?" >>[/red] "Negative. We've got enemy fighters incoming. We'll need your fighter support." [red]<< "Copy that. Switching to battle speed." >>[/red] "Take them down." Walter cut the communication, then connected to Yazzen's Battalion. "Yazzen, begin landing your troops!" << "What about the fighter threat?" >>"Kad's about to take care of them." << "If you say so. Dolar hasn't found the base yet, has he?" >>"No. Get down there and assist him." << "Dispatching now." >>Yazzen cut the line as his gunship dived down towards the beaches. ~ Yazzen moves to the Rivers ~

Zarrott spun his Police Starfighter into formation with his 6 wingmates. Zarrott was in charge of the only surviving air squadron of the DSF, and even then, they were more like the surviving members of the last surviving air squadron of the DSF. Of course, they had several new starfighter pilots, most flying a mixed variety of starfighters. They had about 20 starfighters in the air right now. They had a couple more, but those were being reserved for defending the evacuation. Zarrott gave the order to break formation. They would be to easy to destroy when they were so close together. "Alright, search and destroy. Don't waste your warheads, and make every shot count!" He dove down towards the rivers. As the enemy soldiers came into sight, he began firing in rapid fire mode, strafing the beach with his twin blaster cannons. The night was lit up with a mix of blue and green as the DSF fighters began to engage the DG Gunships.
***********************************
Walter moved into the cockpit. "Get out, I'm taking over!" the pilot scrambled out of the pilot seat and Walter slid in, pulling on the helmet. His eyes met with the images the HUD was showing him, but he looked past that, pulling the Gunship into a high climb. The fighters were upon them, and he wasn't about to trust his life to the skills of a unknown pilot. "Kad, now would be a good time to engage!" he called into the battle line. He was now concentrating on flying the gunship, and he didn't have time to switch to a private line. [red]<< "I'm coming, I'm coming!" >>[/red] he heard Kad call back on the private channel. :: Easy for him, he's not about to get his tail blown off. Yet. :: He spun the gunship into a dive to get the Z95 Headhunter off his six. The gunship he was flying in wasn't carrying any ground forces. This one was packed full of missiles and lasers; one of the engagement gunships, as they had come to be called. It carried enough fire power to punch through a frigate's shield. He saw a line of blue energy spout from one of his gunship's circular turrents, wreaking havoc on the shores below. Walter could see the Z95 was still on his tail in his HUD. He swerved from side to side, avoiding its furious cannon blasts.
***********************************
[red]Kad spun his ship as he turned, engaging the thrusters for maximum speed. Walter's gunship was being attacked. :: Priority one. :: He fired, sending blue lasers screaming at the attacking Headhunter. Five of his shots hit their mark and the Z95's left engines erupted in flames. It spiraled down towards the river and beach. "First kill of the day," Kad called into Walter's private channel.[/red] << "Yeah yeah, good job." >> [red]"Is that all the thanks I get for saving your shebs?"[/red] << "Cut the chatter and get back to the battle." >> [red]Kad grinned to himself and swung to engage a DSF Police Fighter.[/red]
