Star Wars: Tie Fighter Part II. Reign of the Empire

Chapter VIII. Victory

Saleucamai

Mako flies his X-Wing through the capital streets as turbolasers smash the ground into a pulp, a pair of Imperial Dreadnought-class cruisers just above the city commencing a scorched earth tactic.

"Blasted!" He says as he nearly dodges a blast. "Looks like the Captain was right about a scorched earth tactic, we need to take those cruisers down or this planet will fall."

A squadron of Y-Wings fly above the city, firing proton torpedoes into the engine bays, disabling thrust and repulsors aboard one cruiser, sending it plummeting into the ground near the city.

The second cruiser begins to move again, evading a pair of rockets from a headhunter as a group of Rebel corvettes enter the atmosphere, firing heavy laser cannons and concussion missiles into the cruiser, causing it to violently explode mid air.

He flies through he inferno and fires his cannons, blowing a Tie Fighter out of the sky as Rebel transports land around the city, clearing up Imperial resistance in the city and defending it from an incoming heavy walker battalion.

"Cruisers down, finish their air power then we can win this." Tempest Leader says.

"Just a few squadrons left, approximately twenty remaining aircraft some in the sky, some refueling." An officer coming the battlefield from a capital ship in orbit. "Green Squadron and Grey squadron, finish off their forces, Tempest, Red, Blue and Gold squadrons, return to the profundity and the Liberation, Rebel Command want's us back at Yavin."

"How much time do we have down here?" Red Leader asks.

"Let's see... Ten minutes flight back to fleet, return quota... About five minutes to fight, then you need to get back." The officer says.

"Roger, we'll do any extra damage then fly home, all craft dry on ammo or damaged, return to your ships." Red leader orders.

Mako flies past a pair of damaged Y-Wings flying back to orbit, watching a Lambda-Class shuttle fly low. "Tempest Four here, looks like some priority officers are fleeing, Lambda in area seventy two."

"Disable it, we'll send a U-Wing to capture the survivors."

Mako dives down to the surface, tailing the Lambda as a pair of Ties escorting it peel off and turn toward him.

He dodges a flurry of lasers and fires proton torpedoes at the shuttle, destroying its engines, sending it limping by repulsor to the ground.

As he flies past the wrecking shuttle, a pair of lasers blast the back of his fighter, disabling a thruster and tearing a wing off.

"Dank ferrik! I need help, two fighters on my tail!" Mako says, flying low and evading lasers as he looks behind him, seeing a Tie Fighter right on his fighter, lining up to hit his fuselage.

As it lines up, it violently explodes by a proton torpedo to the wing, a Y-Wing from gold squadron flying past and dropping a few proton bombs onto an AT-AT, ripping it apart.

"Thanks, gold!" Mako says, flying back up, his fighter shaking as pieces of metal peel off of the fighter.

As he enters orbit, the fire its extinguished by lack of atmosphere, and he flies toward the Liberation, watching it turn around toward space.

"Tempest four to fleet, returning to Liberation for repairs, one destroyed wing and engine."

"Roger, four, land in one of the side bays, we'll have a crew ready for you."
