Garven Dreis wiped his nose and sniffed. "Alright Red Squadron. Alpha Group is with me, we're going at that port Star Destroyer. It's called the Basilisk. Bravo Group is attacking the starboard ship, called the Nihil."
"Alright, Alpha Group is Red Leader, Red Three, Red Five, Red Seven, Red Nine."
"Bravo Group, Red Two, Red Four, Red Six, Red Eight, Red Ten."

Alpha Group followed closely behind the corvette. It was easily fifty times the size of any of their fighters, but dwarfed by the massive star destroyer it was flying at. Blaster cannons began to rip through the thin upper atmosphere of the planet. Many Imperial shots were blocked by the shields, but a few shots struck the corvette, leaving huge black scars on its hull. Shouts and screams over the comms indicated that there were heavy casualties associated with the blasts. The corvette fired back, but its large shots were deflected by the shields of the Star Destroyer. After several minutes of this, they were in close enough to act.

"Red Wings, split up and stay close to the hull of the Basilisk. Their shields won't block us or our fire. We need to target their shield generators." "Split up into groups of two, and cover your wingman. Red Three, you're with me. Red Five, Red Nine, you're together. Red Seven, you're Y-Wing is tougher and has multiple guns, so you're on your own, but we will cover you as much as possible."
<Tag Alpha Group> Garven maneuvered off to the left of the Corvette and closed in on the Star Destroyer. He saw no enemy fighters yet, so he began heading for the shield generators. "Cover me, Red Three."<Tag Etan Taergsi>

Etan notices he and Garven are being followed by two TIE fighers.
"Red Squadron this is Red 3, we need backup. Two TIE's approaching our 3 o'clock."
Etan turns away from the target and heads toward the TIE's to meet them head on.

"I'll do my best to target the shield generators, its our only chance if we want to do some serious damage", Crix said as he powered up the ion cannons. "If I can get a direct hit, it should destroy all of their electrical systems... Here goes nothing. To be safe i'll fire the blaster turret. At the very least, it should destract them long enough to get a good shot off."

"Copy that Red Leader."
Corran took a deep breathe as he peeled away from the safety of the larger vessels shields. He dove straight at the Star Destroyer angling towards the massive ships control deck.
"Crix, you're the best shot out of our group so if anyone can do this it will be us!"

"Lets show these Son Of A Bantha's a thing or two Pale Rider! YEEEHHAAAWWW!!" Crix shouted as he frantically fired the turret at the enemy ship.

As Etan Taergsi approached the enemy fighters, he was struck on the lower-right wing by a lucky blaster cannon shot from below. His controls went loopy for a few seconds, and his X-Wing spun in three circles before he could regain control. When he did regain control the two TIE Fighters were on his tail.
Red Five and Red Nine were busy fighting two TIEs that had targetted them.
Red Seven, the Y-Wing, continued toward the target. Several blaster cannons would have hit them but veered aside because of their deflector screens. The shield generators were just ahead. Corrin squeezed the trigger and the large blaster bolts struck the shield generator. Sitting beside him, Crix fired the ion cannons and opened fire with the ball turret. All three attempts were successful, and the shield generators exploded. Electrical currents from the ion cannons riddled the ship, shutting down electrical systems for about ten seconds. The TIEs were scrambling now in defense of the mighty Basilisk.
With the shields gone, the fire of the highly damaged correllian corvette began to rip holes in the hull of the Star Destroyer

Garven Dreis saw the enemy TIEs attacking his now damaged wingman. He swerved away from the target and closed in behind them. "I've got your tail Red Three," he said into the comms. He felt a twinge of fear go through him. The young airman Taergsi was the son of a pilot he used to serve with... a man who he owed his life to. He had been unable to return the favor for his now deceased friend. He did not want his son to die on his watch.
"Keep maneuvering Red Three. Don't let those son's of bitches get a bead on you."
Red Leader fired several blasts, nicking the wing of one of the TIEs.

Nothing could put a bigger smile on Crix's face than when he gets a direct hit on an enemy. Right as the shields went down, he started to prepare to launch a bomb at the star destroyer. "Looks like the shields are down! Give em' hell men!". Crix knew that although bombs are tricky in this atmosphere, if he can get launch one into the destroyer, it should be detrimental.

Corrin, heard the call go out over the radio. They had succeeded in dropping the shields on the larger Star Destroyer. But now, it seemed one of their own was in need of help. "Hold Crix, I am gonna loop us around and see if we cannot save Red Three.
He heaved back on the yoke, pulling it back into his chest. His move forced the nose of the Y-Wing to race away from the Star Destroyer and dropped the Tie Fighters into their sites.
He began to fire as soon as he leveled out. After all in space up is relative.
