Mission Four: The FarStar

Slyer knows the gamble is big. "Ranna take that shot, then break off, may the force be with you". "FarStar we will engage the bombers then take down the Dark omen, I hope this storm holds" (the 4 chances).

Kudar gets his crews ready, talking about leads and start tracking now, he breaks up what will soon be there engagement zone to maximize chances with the aiming system spinning up.

"Keeg, go after the nearest bombers on starboard. Ranna, take your shot and join my wing as Gabby new wingman. Rancor squad, turn about and If anyone can get a shot with their torpedo at that hanger, take it, take it. at then head on toward the bombers. . And fly evasively. We need you to make it out of this engagement. No more grand heroics. We need to make the empire pay for Will and Dasha. Carne and I will take the lead squad of bombers are the port side. Ranna and Gabby take the near port squad "

The squad slows and make Kiogen turns, inspired by the leaders words and press the attack

"Krayt, can you get that torpedo read". I could really use it."


Mechanics:
Noell: Leadership (1P3A) - 4 Success 2 Advatage 1 Triumph
Krayt: Mechanics (2P vs3D) - 1 Success 1 Threat
Noell: (Kiogen and Evasive, Speed 2) Pilot - 3P1A vs 3D1C = 1 Success 1 Advantage 1 Triump
Gabby: (Kiogen and Evasive, Speed Pilot - 2)2P1A vs 3D1C = 1 Success 4 Threat 1 Triumph
Carne: (Kiogen and Evasive, Speed 2) Pilot - 2P2A vs 3D1C = 3 Success 2 Threat
Gabby;s R2: Mechanics (2P vs3D) - 1 Success 2 Threat 1 Triumph
Carne's R2: Mechanics (2P vs3D) - Failure 1 Triumph

The FarStar cheers as bombers wink out of existence.
"Sir," Astrogation cuts in,"The hyperspace storm is faltering. Within the next 20 minutes the effect will decrease enough to open jump points again."
"The Bad Omen is missing shields, multiple turrets, and hopefully soon their torpedoes. They are sitting duck if we can just reach them before they leave system." Lt. Dejas states over comms from her position in the tactical room.
"The bombers are a priority though." Rorn states. "We can't let a city die to take down a ship."
You are 60 seconds from firing range for your big guns on the bombers, 100 seconds for your cannons. Your gunners realize they will be firing on a ship slightly larger than a landspeeder moving 120 clicks per second. A little bit faster than a womp rat.

(forgot previous turn Hummer was going to repair the strain: Easy Mechanics 2 success, 2 advantage)

"Keeg to Flight, Rodger going after the bombers"

Hummer wails at Keeg

"You worry about the fighters, I will worry about the bombers. angle the deflectors double back, and hope they are bad shots"

Keeg punches the throttle to full and winces as the craft starts to protest at the harsh treatment and heads straight for the bombers. Allready having the bombers selected in his HUD he barrels toward them, knowing he can close the distance and presses the trigger and blows away another bomber

Hummer angles the shields back
Keeg peforms a "Punch it" manuver and goes to full throttle: 2 success 2 advantage
Then fires his lasers (assuming average difficulty): 4 success, 2 advantages, activating linked

X-Wings
Ranna (purple)- Hovering right in front of the torpedo bay below the hanger she just gutted Ranna fires full cannons at the torpedo launcher. One bolt enter the tube itself causing a rocking explosion in the Bad Omen. She does her own Kiogan turn and thrusts away from the Bad Omen. The maneuver is too much for her damaged ship and the engines section shears almost totally off from the front of the vessel. The vessel is bent in half and spinning at just 2G away from the Bad Omen. "@#$%&*!@" comes over the com from Ranna. (12 hull and 7 strain ship is breaking up as it spins away)

Rancor Squad- Ciro(Blue) proton torpedo is loaded as he spins and targets the closer bombers. His torpedo explodes into the lead TIE and the blast rips through the other TIE Bombers each is damaged by the Blast. (Ciro has 2 strain and 6 damage is 200m from the jump point)

Carne (Black)spins following his commander his proton loads just in time to fire Carne lacks the time to properly track the bomber his torp speeds away and his instinct holds true as the proton destroys another bomber. (Carne has 11 hull damage 4 strain is 200m from the jump point but dead in the water with his astromech destroyed)

Gabby (White)Gabby spins follows and her torpedo it destroys and already damaged bomber. Squad 2 is reduced to one damaged bomber. (Gabby has 4 strain is 200 m from the jump point).


WingRipper
Keeg (Lt Blue) fires and stikes the last bomber on his way after the far bombers. He goes full throttle covering 900m in 10 seconds and rapidly accelerating. (8 hull damage and 2 strain 900m from the jump point)
Dwyer (Red)tries to follow her ship sparks and strains unable to match Keeg. She is moving 700m per round. (5 strain and 12 hull damage X-Wing is ready to breech)


TIE Fighters- All three TIE squads chase Keeg and Dwyer who are the faster moving of the X-Wing.. If you chase the bombers 3 squad of TIE fighters will fall in behind your squads.
White- 5 fighters- The fighters strike Keeg with a barrage of bolts (8 hull damage to Keeg and they are 900m from the jump point on his tail).
Red- 5 fighters- The Fighters take the closer Dwyer striking her X-Wing (8 hull damage to Dwyer and are 700m from jump point on her tail)
Green- 5 fighters- The Fighters take Dwyer ship striking her ship with just one bolt (4 damage to Dwyer and are 700m from jump point on her tail)

TIE Bombers- remaining squads are streaking away.
Squad 1- 4 bombers moving 2500 m per round and are 6100 m away from the jump point.

Bad Omen - The Bad Omen turns to bring it's starboard turrret to bear. It opens fire on Ciro's X-Wing squads.
Current Damage Shields F0/P0/S1/A2 Hull 6 Strain 3
Top Turbolaser is powering up and will not fire for 40 seconds on average.
Port Gunnery Turret (1 Cannon) damage control may have done something the turret is working again.
Starboard Gunnery Turret- Fires on Carne X-Wing the ship's engines are destroyed and he floats in space.
Proton Torpedoes are destroyed
Ion Cannon (2 cannons) fires on Gabby completely missing.

The Bad Omen is beginning to move toward the X-Wings.
Ranna is abandoning ship but can not get her astromech out.
Carne is floating.
Dwyer's ship is ready to go she is screaming for her Mech to do something.

The order is Bad Omen (100m), Ciro (200m), Gabby (200m), 10 TIE Fighters (700m), Dwyer (700m), 5 TIE Fighters (900m), Keeg (900m), 4 Bombers (6100m)
50 seconds to turbolasers, 90 seconds to cannons.

FarStar is moving 9000m per round but thrusting and using repulsors to slow down and have a longer firing window for the target.
next,

OOC; Sorry was writing down acceleration in atmospheric speeds not space speeds. 1 speed in Atmosphere/Dogfights is 100m per round. 1 speed in space is 1000m (1km) per round. I am currently in the time of year where I am working 2 jobs and posting late at night so sorry for the confusion.

X-Wings
Ranna (purple)- Is floating in space but not turning her distress beacon on until the Bad Omen is far away.

Rancor Squad- Ciro(Blue) Goes full throttle after the bombers (8 speed total) with a boost to firing. With Proton torpedoes still loading he takes a almost impossible shot at the TIE fighters racing after Keeg (10d which is rolled with 5C). He somehow clips one of the TIE fighters at a range 46km away damaging the fighter. (Ciro has 2 strain and 6 damage is 30km from the jump point moving at 10km per round, he is 50 seconds from having a loaded torp)

Carne (Black)still has life support and is hanging out in his destroyed fighter. Seeing Ciro's hit on his HUD he starts looking through the New Republic database to see the longest in combat strike of a TIE fighter. (Carne has 11 hull damage 4 strain is 20km from the jump point but dead in the water with his astromech destroyed)

Gabby (White)- Gabby punches it to follow Ciro and falls behind (6 speed total) her astromech does calm some of the systems that where straining her X-Wing. She tries to follow Ciro's feat and her cannon fire is way off the targets.(Gabby has 5 wounds and 0 strain is 28km from the jump point moving 8Km per round, she is 50 seconds from having a loaded torp).


WingRipper
Keeg (Lt Blue) Keeg is full throttle pushing at the bombers (8 speed total, Keeg and the ship takes 1 strain from the acceleration) (13 hull damage (3d added to piloting checks and failure or despair means the X-Wing is breaking up if you may have your mech repair up to 6 damage next round but it will not be repaired until the end of the round Keeg could coast at 17km per round and not need to roll a piloting check) and 3 strain 107km from the jump point moving at 17km per round, he is 60 seconds from having a torp reloaded)

At the speed Keeg is going the proton torpedo is barely outracing him to the bombers. When it hits it will Gunnery roll; 3 success, 2 threat, and a triumph, activating Blast. (Keeg's torpedo is 109km from the jump point moving at 19km per round)

Dwyer (Red)does not accelerate but coasts and fires her torpedo. Her astromech is working on her ship as the squads of TIE fighters pass her by. (5 strain and will have 6 hull damage at the begining of the next round due to repairs by her mech, she is 77km from the jump point moving at 7km per round. She is 60 seconds from a loaded torp)

Dwyer's torpedo is 80km from the jump point moving at 10km per round. She activated guided so though she missed she may hit with the guided quality when the torps reach the target.


TIE Fighters- All three TIE squads chase Keeg.

White- 5 fighters- go full throttle straining their TIEs (7 speed) They fire on Keeg and a bolts makes it past his shields (5 hull damage) (They are 106km from the jump point moving at 16km per round).
Red- 5 fighters- go full out (8 speed) (They are 87km from jump point moving at 17km per round)
Green- 4 fighters- go full out (6 speed) one falls back that is struck by Ciro (They are 85km from the jump point moving at 15km per round one has 6 hull damage and is dropping off possibly breaching)

TIE Bombers- remaining squads are streaking away.
Squad 1- 4 bombers accelerate 7km per round. They are moving 32km per round and are 642km away from the jump point. The bombers are spreading out putting 100m or more between each bomber.

Bad Omen - The Bad Omen is accelerating after the fighters They strain their drives to accelerate to 5km per round. (They are 16km from the jump point moving at 6km per round)
Current Damage Shields F0/P0/S1/A2 Hull 6 Strain 5
Top Turbolaser is powering up and will not fire for 30 seconds on average.
Port Gunnery Turret (1 Cannon) It is a despair for the damage control and gunners as the repair does not hold and the turret explodes.
Starboard Gunnery Turret- Strikes Gabby from long range (5 damage).
Proton Torpedoes are destroyed
Ion Cannon (2 cannons) are not in effective range .
Sensors show the Bad Omen has brought the force field up on the bomber hanger but the hanger still shows biohazard readings and damage.


The order is Bad Omen (16km), Gabby (28km), Ciro (30km), Dwyer (77km), 1 TIE Fighters (79km), Dwyer's PT (80km), 4 TIE Fighters (85km), 5 TIE Fighters (87km) , 5 TIE Fighters (106km), Keeg (107km), Keeg's PT (109km), 4 Bombers (642km)
30 seconds to turbolasers, 70 seconds to cannons. The bombers are moving faster than expected.

FarStar is moving 80km per round but thrusting and using repulsors to slow down and have a longer firing window for the target. The FarStar is 1,250km from the jump point. At current vectors the Bad Omen will be in range in 60 seconds but you are going to zoom past it then need to continue decelerating to move back into range. So you will leave your firing window for the bombers just in time to start firing on the Bad Omen. You will have about 4 rounds of effective range to fire on the Bad Omen before you slip past each other. It will take an average helmsman 13 minutes to drop thrust and get moving toward the planet. Of course, Your helmsman is not average.
