One Vulture down. Xaver was about to start counting his chickens prematurely, but then the ship graveyard loomed in the distance. He watched as the freighters began zooming off toward the large Mandator shell.
Xaver felt his heart nearly stop. If these pirates were smart enough, and if those dead vultures still had active power sources, then he could get a lot more friends. Or even if he somehow got into the Mandator and managed to bring it's guns online... there possibilities were dangerous.
But the freighters gave him a clear shot now. Immediately he lurched forward and fired another pair of missiles, this time at the engines of the ship he'd been attacking earlier.

Tahnk was awestruck by the sheer electrical power of the graveyard, but was careful not to be too dazed by it. Shortly after regaining his repose, he spotted the pirate vessel making a run for it, through his sights. With a smirk and a couple flickers of his fingers on the trigger-grip, Tahnk was doing his very best to blow the engines clean off that junk-boat.

The two freighters slid past each other, absorbing damage from the pursuing skipray. Already the main engines of the lead vessel were flickering, and smoke was pouring out into space from a plethora of blackened holes in the ship's hull.
The remaining Vultures saw it too and charged in on the skipray, launching their control override missiles as they came.

Control overide missiles. If they hit, then they were sithspit, and might as well be dead; they probably would be dead shortly after, so it hardly mattered.
First and foremost, he had a duty to his crew. He wasn't about to bring them into any more danger than necesary. This was a training op, and he wasn't about to be responsible for getting people killed.
Cursing, the Falleen, flew into an upside down u-turn, before flying back toward the Resolve at full throttle. "Permission to abort attack requested. We need back up to take out those pirates."

Suddenly an enormous prow burst out of the nebula behind them, followed by the gray hulk of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Resolve. The ship had detected their exchange of weapons fire as it had cruised through the nebula, now its weapon swung to target the pirates. There was a blaze of green turbolaser fire.
The Vulture's scattered under the hail of green weapons fire and cut their control wires to the missiles which suddenly began flying straight and level.
The freighters tried to accelerate, throttling up to full power as wave after wave of ion cannon fire poured into them.
Aboard the bridge the Captain scowled at the scene before her. "Flight control, tell the Bludgeon to launch for a boarding operation... get that platoon onboard those pirate prizes and take them from them."

Diana's comm suddenly came to life with orders to board the pirates. Acknowleding it, she then commed her platoon. " We've got a job to do. Everyone to the hangar, on the double. "
Within moments, they had all arrived, fully geared up and ready to go. They began piling into the assault shuttle.

The Resolve! Thank the stars, they were lucky! Throwing the Skipray into a loop, Xaver flew under the Destroyer and back around, weaving behind it's bridge as it resumed pursuit of the vultures. They were in retreat now, and with the Resolve on his back, they daren't get near for fear of being blown to pieces.
Smirking, he trailed his crosshairs on one of the fleeing droids and began spewing ion at it.

Ranlee frowned as the stromtroopers ran aboard, "Come on you rubberneckers, lets go! lets go! Guess we get to shoot some before I teach you how to fight in space." As the last storm ran up the hatch she hit the seal and tapped her com, "L.T. we're ready."
"Alright," The ship com chimmed, "This is your pilot speaking, with round trip service to a pair of pirate hulks, estimated time till our arrival... oh about two minutes. Hang tight and hold onto your lunch."
The Assault Shuttle burst out of the Hangar bay and sped toward the pirate ships. It's four turbolasers spat fire at the two remaining Vultures, but the shot past without a glance, dancing between turbolaser and ion fire from a dozen different sources. Suddenly the Vultures dropped low and started clambering across the surface of the Resolve wandering below the shields shooting at any weapon system that could be brought to bear against them.

"No you don't!" Growling, Xaver kept his crosshairs on the Vultures as they tried destroying the ship from beneath the shields. Getting as lower as he could, he hammered more ion at them, while his gunners took what shots they could without damaging the ship.

An ion blast impacted one of the Vultures, sending it into convulsions before it's internal systems overloaded and detonated the vehicle. The second one fired one of its control override missiles, not at the skipray but into one of the heavy turbolaser turrets. With a thunk the missile connected and overrode gunnery control. The turret swung toward the skipray spewing green turbolaser fire.

((Okay lets get this thing functioning again))
One of the other gun battery operators saw what was happening and swung his gun to bear. With a single green lance he blew the Vulture into atomic particulates.
Ahead the two freighters tumbled slowly in space, while the Assault Transport Bludgeon grappled onto one of them.

Ranlee walked to the borehole device and tapped its activation stud. Glanced around at the others she smiled coldly as she drew a pair of stun grenades from her utility belt. "Here's the drill femtroopers. We've got pirates aboad the target. There may or may not be civilians among them. Now we may have severed our connection to the empire, but thats no reason to go and blast the civies into ash. We go in with blasters and stun grenades. Minimal damage to civilians and non-combatants. Understood?"
Ranlee glanced at the lieutenant in charge to make sure she'd said the right things as the borehole finished. With a clang a chunk of durasteel landed on the deck of the vessel below and Ranlee dropped the stun grenades inside and followed suit a second later.

Diana followed only seconds behind Ranlee, and the others began to enter the vessel quickly after. " You heard her. " Diana said. " Only fire on hostiles. Take the others as prisoners, and civillians are to be escorted to safe areas until we've secured the ship. "
She checked her heavy repeater and changed its setting to stun. " Lethal force is a last resort. If you've got stun settings, use 'em. Otherwise, aim to disarm if you can. The smaller the mess we make, the easier the cleanup. "

As the stormtroopers hit the platings the double doors of the cooridor slid open and a clanking sound echoed in the room as two squads of B-1 Battle Droids rushed in and took cover behind scattered crates and along the wall.
They moved better then normal B-1s, and their movements revealed something equally important. Like the Vulture starfighters, these units were veterans that had learned from their experiences. A few of them wore red cloaks and one a wide brimmed hat. Their dull voices were different then that which the stormtroopers knew from the holos of their youth. They had a malicious quality to them.
"Awww... white hats, and I was hoping for a challenge." One of them stated as a stun bolt hit its armor and dissipated harmlessly. It slowly raised a claw and shook it in the face of the stormtrooper that had fired. "That doesn't work plastic boy."
Then there was a clatter of round shapes bouncing across the grates as the droids hurled fragmentation grenades.

" It figures something like this would happen. " Diana said to herself as she adjusted her heavy repeater's setting again. After only a second, the droids had thrown their grenades.
" Grenades! " one of the troopers yelled. The ones in immediate danger dove for cover, as the ones towards the back opened fire, hoping to blow them up before they reached the troopers.

Ranlee dove to the deck as the grenades detonated and she felt the sting of hot shrapnel as it peppered her white armor, smoke filled the corridor from the blasts. Fuming she stood and drew a vibroknife from her pauldron and rushed toward the droids.
"Alright you clankers. Now you've pissed me off!"
The two droids nearest her turned to look at each other. "Was that voice female?" Their conversation ended as the vibroblade cut neatly through their torsos and they fell to the ground with a clatter. Still fuming Ranlee leveled her rifle toward the other droids and opened fire sending a volley of burning crimson plasma into their formation.
The droid that wore a broad brimmed hat waved his fellows to cover. "These white hats seem to be something special boys."
