"All Compartments report readiness."

"Compartment one manned and ready" An OOM unit replies, behind him the crew shift Skylance missiles into position next to the launch tubes

"Compartment four manned and ready" A voice calls over the intercom as a light on the Captain's console flashes green

"Compartment Six manned and ready" A B1-M announces as the droids in the reactor room man consoles and balance the power load

"Compartment two manned and ready" A droid announces, standing at a console surrounded by charts

More lights flash as every compartment signs off one after another.

"Captain, the ship is manned and ready for firing of main missile battery" An OOM unit in dark paint with gold stripes states firmly

"Activate Combat procedure for weapon release" A B1-M similarly painted replies turning from his console

"Captain, we have confirmed the shipments are from Doren, cargo spotted is primarily parts for rearming and reparing Imperial vessels, likely to repair the fleet from Troith if it...."

"Thank you Mr. Ravil." The Captain interrupts walking to a console

"Primary gun battery online, servo systems engaged"

The Captain nods and opens a small case, opening it and pulling out a small data card into a console, along with the first and second officers. There's a clicking sound as the computer processes the cards.

"Captain, fire command recognized,"

"Roger Roger."

"Skylance hatches opened! All four tubes ready to fire Captain"

"Target locked Captain."

"Thank you Mr. Demichev. You have Controls"

"Roger Roger Captain!"

"Captain, the Forest Welona reports she is in position and has lock!"

"Mr. Ravil What is the range of Forest Welona?"

"Range band one point five,"

"Mr. Demichev are we clear for fire?"

"Roger Roger Captain."

"Prepare to close in after launch."

"Captain. Tubes one through four are armed."

The Captain takes hold of his viewscope and does a quick look at the targets, an Imperial Two class Star Destroyer, two Imperial Corvettes, and a convoy of twenty Imperial Class-4 Merchant vessels "Up-scope" He states, raising his viewscope

"Captain we are ready for firing sequence."

"Inform the Forest Welona."

"Forest Welona confirms launch in Twenty five seconds."

"Fire in Thirteen seconds"

"Five"

"Three"

"One"

There's a series of thuds as all four Skylance missiles fire from their tubes, the Skylances tearing through empty space towards the targets

Four Skylances from the Welona slam into the unsuspecting Corvettes, tearing them apart as the Imperial attempts to dodge and puts full power to shields in the direction the Skylances had come from, a mistake as four from the Green Widow slam into the stern of the symbol of Imperial power.

"Reload!" The Starboard Launch room officer orders and another Skylance is rolled into the hatch. "Starboard tubes ready for launch Captain!"

"Mr. Demichev, fire at will."

Eight more Skylances tear through the Star Destroyer, but not before its guns fire a salvo at Green Widow

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" The Captain Orders as the ship shudders, a light on the console starts flashing.

"Captain we had a power surge in reactor one, coolant systems have failed!"

"Can you repair it?"

"We'll have to shut down reactor one Captain."

"Shut it down, switch to reactor two, cut shields to half power and cut all unnecessary power draws."

"What of the guns Captain?"

"Keep them online, close to engagement range." The Captain turns "Mr Sharpnel, inform the Forest Welona to take point. We'll follow. Mr. Ravil what's the time to the Imperial response?

"Imperial forces at the planet are scrambling, ETA, five minutes until they're in range. Hostile cargo vessels are flaring engines to full power towards the planet."

The Captain lowers the viewscope. "Mr Tygh, fire as soon as you can. Target the cargo bays, the momentum will carry the debris into the atmosphere."

"Roger Roger captain." The Droid replies turning to his own comlink "All batteries fire."

The Nimbus's four duel mount cannons take aim and open up, a downgrade in firepower from the standard Cumulus Corvette, against defenseless cargo vessels it was more than sufficient, with the black painted craft rapidly approaching the Class-4 vessels and tearing them to ribbons, up ahead, the Forest Welona a dark shadow visable only the flashes of cannon-fire from her duel mounts,

"Captain, Imperial reinforcements closing, two minutes."

"Calculate the jump to hyperspace, maintain fire."

"Imperial Forces one minute"

"Calculations complete sir."

"Shut down main guns, power to hyperdrive."

"Roger Roger"

A squadron of Tie Fighters tears through space, arriving just in time to see the two ships jump into Hyperspace, a mess of carnage and destroyed cargo vessels flying past the fighters as they find themselves chasing ghosts.

The RRRN Green Widow would make a series of jumps before arriving at Commenor for repairs and rearming. Soon she would be back on the hunt, and the Imperials would learn to fear the dark voids of Space.
