Goonch Bagarius Yarrelli
Character
The gold in the commodore's eyes glistened as he watched the flagship drop out of hyperspace and instantly send the enemy space forces into a panic. He chuckled, a sound more akin to a drowning frog than anything human. But the joy of the sound was not lost on his crew. There was plenty for the old officer to be joyful about. Even as Delta squadron reported in, the X-wing fighters ran afoul of the mine field that had just been laid. Delta swept up the survivors easily.
Then Pterois and Mora, the two Retribution-class heavy missile corvettes under Goonch's command, dropped out of hyperspace. They were new vessels, their hulls shining with starlight. And they packed a punch.
"Pterois and Mora have successfully deployed." Goonch advised. "What say I direct my flotilla against those defense platforms, admiral? I believe I can whip them." He turned to his captain. "Dive the fleet. Move so that the defense platform guns can't aim at us. They'll re-position, and thus expose their topsides to our missile boats. Delta squadron, form up behind the mine-layers, steer clear of incoming fire and fight off any remaining fighters bold enough to interfere with our course of travel."
Pistris and Lolligo dropped into a steep dive, angling only slightly towards the defense platforms as the request to attack them had not been confirmed. Their engines flared as the arms of the planet's gravity tried to pull them down. The defense platforms tried to track with the mine layers, but their guns bottomed out. Thrusters on the platforms roared to life, angling them downward. The topsides of the platforms were presented to the missile boats, their shield generators and sensor clusters looking like so many fruits to be plucked by a hungry farmer.
