Narrative Briefing --

Written by: Adam Fene

Major General Adam Fene folded his hands together as he stared out the
bridge. He watched flames of death spread across the stars, and hated
having to be stuck in the chair that he now sat in. "Comm Officer, patch
me through to the Liberator."

The Communications Officer did as told, and suddenly a holoscreen
appeared before him, with Corran's face within the image. "General, take
the Liberator out, we'll meet you in Vivianas System." Vender paused as
he waited for Corran's reply as he considered.

"Well, I'll at least leave you some extra fighter support." Corran
turned his head as his jaw began to reflexisively begin preperations as
he called for Hydra pilots to refuel and launch again.

Vender nodded. "Appreciated, thank you. This mission is ours. The Seige
is toast. Tell your pilots to protect my Bombers. We'll be making runs
on the Seige. I know they've probably got some reinforcements coming- "
The Navigations Officer interruped him. "Sir! The Seige is moving!"

Standing, Vender nodded to Corran. "Get going, I'll see you later."

Corran nodded, and the holo call winked out.

* * * * * * * * * *

Commanding the Imperial Star Destroyer Seige, Captain Evasair Harlum was
already sweating. "This ambush obviously was a failure." He tried to
keep his cool, to not look like a totally incompetant failure on the
bridge. "Navigation, take us out. Away from the Prometheus."

The Nav Officer nodded and layed in new courses.

Harlum slid hands through his dark glossy hair and tried to relax. Soon
he would be out of this embarrassment, and reinforcement screens would
garauntee him that. Though, with how brutal the Retribution forces had
been, he wasn't so sure those screens would make it out alive. He
obviously underestimated General Fene, as his Fleet lived up to its name.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Launch our bombers, NOW! I want that Destroyer in flames. We owe them,
at least, that much." Vender scowled out the viewport as his bombers
launched. Whoever these Imperials were, they would be dead soon, and
he'd have some spare parts for the Prometheus.

"After the Seige is destroyed. Take us out of Morba. I don't want to be
around to dabble in this gravity field anymore." Victory was near.
