Suddenly the peace and quiet that had enveloped the [i]Ardent[/i]'s bridge was gone. With a screeching sound the combat alarm came to life and Kara's view immediately wandered to the scope spotting the TIE Interceptors incoming. Quickly she opened intercom and simultaneously pressing the button sounding for battle stations.
"All crew, battle stations. Scramble the fighters." She tried to sound as confident as possible and she was certain she achieved bringing a little more calmness into everybody's mind by staying calm over the comms. 

And to be honest, it wasn't the TIE Interceptors she was worried about, no, not at all. It was more the thought behind the TIE's. Throughout Republic military it was very well known that almost all TIE variants don't actually have hyperdrives equipped, so there had to be some vessel the TIE's were launching their strike from, and judging from their apparent attack vector they couldn't have come from the planet's surface.
Just until the last X-Wing left had taken off Kara had kept the vessel as straight as possible, but when the fighters were away, Kara took the [i]Ardent[/i] into a steep climb making the TIE's, which were not engaged in a dogfight with the Republic fighters, miss. A quick roll later, the fighters were in the scopes of the [i]Ardent[/i]'s gunners sending bright red flashes towards them. 

Although Kara did her best to avoid most of the returning fire, there was only so much manoeuvring you could do in a corvette and of course several laserbolts hit the shields, but they were holding. It took a lot more than a few Interceptors to take down a Corellian Corvette, much less one retrofitted with a hangar. 
"Now... where is that fricking carrier?"
