LOCATION: aft of the GADF fleet under Sieb Tevv
At the back edges of the tactical interdiction bubbles, sensor contacts blossomed: a One Sith fleet that outgunned the little Naboo flotilla by a serious margin. Shambleau was snapping orders to adjust formation, overlap shields, bring flak escorts to bear -- and then the Sith ships were past. Then they were sweeping by the GA fleet, no shots fired. Then they crashed into the Rancor station's defenses like a hammer into red metal. Shambleau looked down at her hand, actually a shapeshifted tentacle. It was shaking.
"Holy feth," she whispered. "What did we just watch? Captain. Uh, designate the Panathan fleet as friendlies." She ran a hand over her mouth. "With their defection, and all the enemy ships that have run, we have to be running at ten-to-one odds here. And even that station..."
Scanners revealed that it wasn't fully operational. It was lightly armed and unimpressively shielded; its great strength had been its massive fighter contingent, but that kind of capability didn't come online as easily as a gun. Where the feth would the Atrisians find seven hundred twenty pilots, for starters?
