Utapau

"Hey Firestarter, you've picked up a tail!" Hornet 2 tells Nara.

"I see! Thanks for the heads up!" Nara yells.

"The Firestarter? I like the name." Chip says walking into the cockpit.

"Hey dear, make yourself useful and man the gun. Get that fighter off our arse. We can't have any fighters on us if we're gonna board that interdictor." Nara says.

"On it." Chip says and runs out.

He mans the bottom gun while Doom gets the top gun and they both turn and open fire on the interceptor that was following them. They rip off one of its wings and watch it spin out of control and crash into a Gozanti-class freighter that was coming up from Utapau after deploying troops.

"Great shot!" Nara yells.

"It's not over yet boys, 4 more coming straight toward us." CT says.

"I see them." Doom says.

They turn the guns back to the front and open fire on the 4. They take down 2 but the surviving 2 fly around to chase the freighter. They fire on it and it shakes after getting hit.

"The shields can't hold forever!" Nara yells at Chip and Doom.

"Calm your tits! We're working on it!" Chip yells and he fires at one of the ties, blasting the cockpit and tearing the ship apart.

Doom hit the second one one on both the wings and it spins out of control, catching fire before exploding.

"Great shots." Slash tells them.

They were nearing the interdictor and were headed toward the hangar.

"Grand Admiral, That YT-2000 model freighter just landed on the interdictor..." the officer tells Thrawn.

"Interesting...do not worry about them. They will do what they plan to do too late, and our new friend, will probably stop them before they can." Thrawn says.

"The Trandoshan?" The Officer asks.

"Precisely." Thrawn says.

"Yes sir." The Officer says.

"Before you go, prepare my shuttle." Thrawn says.

"Your shuttle?" The Officer asks.

"Yes. I wish to head down and join the battle. Have my troops join me." Thrawn says.

"Yes Grand Admiral." The Officer says and walks off.

Thrawn was watching the battle in space continue as he watched another X-wing and A-wing get blasted apart by Skerris.

"I'm hit!" Gryphon 11 yells before his X-wing explodes.

"Firestarter! Complete your mission! For the rebellion. For us-AGH!" Hornet 10 yells.

"We will...." Nara says as they set down in the hangar.

They were starting to leave the ship and look around at each other.

"You ready?" Chip asks Nara.

"Always." She says.

Chip nods and puts his helmet down and runs down the ramp and opens fire on the Stormtroopers and ground crew in the hangar. He dives behind a crate for cover as the Stormtroopers and crew are fast to respond. CT runs out with his crossbow and fires an arrow into a trooper's eye and slides behind a crate for cover, kicking a ground crewman's feet out from underneath him and stabbing him in the throat. He reloads his cross bow and looks around as the rest of the team was running for cover. Tori shoots down a crewman and a stormtrooper as they run away before she slides over a crate and ducks down behind it. Nara unsheathes a knife and unholsters her pistol before she hops up from cover. She knees a stormtrooper right in front of her and shoots him in the stomach and kicking him around to face the other imperials shooting at them shoving the knife into his throat, holding him in front of her for cover. She fires back at the imperials as the stormtrooper served as a human shield and she shoots down 3 more Stormtroopers and a crewman before another trooper ran over. She rips the knife from his neck and kicks him onto the other one that was running over, his dead weight pinning the other.
