"Sure did. I'm getting transferred to a Star Destroyer here in the next few days." 238 says.

"That's great to hear!" 982 says cheerfully.

"What about you? How's the life of the stormtroopers corps?" 238 asks.

"It's not too bad, man." 982 says.

"Hey uh, my sister, she wanted me to tell you thanks again, for what you did, stopping those guys from...well...you know...she really appreciates it." 238 tells him.

"Hey, it's no problem. I was just doing the right thing. There was no other option for me." 982 nods, patting his buddy on the shoulder.

"Yeah, she just wanted me to let you know how thankful she is that you were there." 238 smiles.

"Of course." 982 nods again, smiling under his helmet.

"And I wanted to tell you thank you as well. It means a lot to me too." 238 tells him.

"I know. Really no need to thank me." 982 says.

"You're a good man. I know you'll make it far." 238 smiles.

"Thank you. I know it won't be long until you're commanding your own fleet." 982 says, gripping his blaster in both hands now.

"How's Marie?" 238 asks.

"Oh, well, she just gave birth just the other day. It was a baby boy." 982 says.

"Oh really? That's amazing news." 238 smiles.

"Yeah. I'm really excited. I can't believe I'm really a father." 982 chuckles.

"You'll be a great father. I know you will." 238 smiles.

"You really think so?" 982 asks.

"Yeah. I do." 238 says reassuringly.

"It means a lot, hearing you say that." 982 says.

"Coming up on Raxus." Fernanda says.

The squadrons of fighters emerge from hyperspace over the planet and start their descent toward the planet.

"Proton torpedoes armed and ready." Cadinone says.

"Copy that." Randmu says.

"Let's bring the pain." Amarillo 1 says.

"All wings follow me, we're going in. Dropping a full payload on that city." Bat says.

"Bat, I don't see many imperial buildings down there." Fernanda says.

"Oh trust me, there are plenty." Amarillo 4 says.

"What the-" 238 says as he looks up.

"Huh? No...get down! Move move!" 982 screams and shoves 238 toward cover as Bat launches the first group of proton torpedoes down into the city.

The mix of fighters between the Y-wings, X-wings, and A-wings bombard the city heavily with proton torpedoes and fire from their main guns, ripping through the city streets and leveling buildings.

"Coming around for a second pass." Bat says.

Amarillo Hammer flew overhead and Kean manned the door gun and fired down on the streets below, cutting through imperial stormtroopers, officers, and civilians alike.

"Move move! Get to cover!" Stormtroopers and patrol troopers were yelling, pushing for civilians to get inside as bombs rained down.

A torpedo rips through the ground and incinerates a squad of patrol troopers trying to guide a group of young cadets to a safe location. The rebel ships open fire on the streets as troopers and citizens were running around frantically, screaming. Bodies fly all around and were littering the streets, those that weren't incinerated or had limbs ripped off by the explosions.
