Multiple droid drill boarding pods had hit the ship. No one saw them appear until they hit the ship. Most had hit near the hangar though a few hit the base of the bridge tower. Reports came in of battle droids, super battle droids, and a squad of commando droids. Arc pulled out his two dc-17 hand blaster which he began to favor after doing some training simulations.

Out of Arc's squad only Wheeler was on the bridge. Jetter was heading to one of the republics other capital ships and the rest of the squad was scattered through the rest of the ship.

"Wheeler I want you up here monitoring the ships com chatter." Arc said.

"Yes sir." Wheeler replied.

Arc motioned for a handful of troopers to follow him as he left the bridge. He made his way down from the bridge and found a group of troopers fighting some super battle droids that were trying to make their way to the bridge. Arc and his squad took up positions on the sides of the hallway and began to fire at the droids.

"Nice to see you captain." One of the troopers said.

"How are we doing?" Arc replied.

"We've managed to hold them for the moment but there still slowly advancing." The trooper explained. "Their armor is quite tuff sir."

"Understood." Arc replied.

"DIE REPUBLIC DOG!!" A super battle droids called out before releasing a volley of fire.

Everyone ducked but one trooper wasn't so lucky and caught shot to the knee which knocked him out of cover. The front two droids lowered their armors and fired into the trooper turning his white armor black.

"We've got to clear this path." Arc stated.

"Yes sir!" The other troopers replied.

Everyone leaned out of cover and began to fire which in that moment they took out the front two but there was atleast eight more droids behind them. Everyone ducked back into cover as the droids moved up some more.

"Sir, what are we gonna do?" A trooper asked.

"Do we have any heavy weapons?" Arc asked.

"We've got our standard DC-15a blaster rifles and DC-15s blaster carbines." A trooper replied.

"Ok, do we have any droid poppers?" Arc asked.

"No sir." A trooper replied. "Just detonators."

"Then we blast our way out." Arc said.

Everyone leaned back out and began to fire their blasters. A sea of blue laser flew out towards the droids dropping them one by one but it wasn't without loss. Another two troopers had been shot in the process. That left Arc with seven troopers but he needed some to stay and defend this passage way incase more droids came.

"You five stay here." Arc ordered. "The other two with me."

Arc ran off leaving the two troopers to follow behind him as he signaled Wheeler on his comlink.

"What's the status on our situation?" Arc asked.

"Reports are coming in that the droids have overwhelmed the hangar and are beginning to set up a perimeter in the surrounding hallways." Wheeler explained. "After that it's some scattered fighting throughout the ship."

"Where's the squad at?" Arc asked.

"Most are scattered through the ship but Ranger, Lock, and 1142 are in the armory." Wheeler replied.

"Tell them to be ready for when we arrive." Arc ordered.

"Understood sir." Wheeler replied before ending the call.
