The three ships continued to move closer to the [i]Resurgence[/i], unaware that while front most turbolasers of two of the gun decks had targeted the lead ship's engines, the remaining turbolasers and heavy lasers had targeted the other two ships. "Sir, all guns report targets locked and ready to fire." Jason waits, counting down silently as the ships moved in closer before nodding.

"Twenty year old tech just doesn't have the oomph to stop this. Open fire." In unison, every gunnery deck on the [i]Resurgence[/i] fired, blue turbo lasers lancing through the space between the lead ship of the Republic Remnant's fleet and the Imperial vessels. The engines of the [i]Undying Dawn[/i] quickly sputtered and went out and the shields and hulls of the other two ships quickly took damage, and dropped in the case of the former. Jason opened the channel to the rag tag fleet once more. "All ships, you are free to engage." At the same time, the hangar doors open up on his ship and the LAA/Ts fly out with their fighter escorts, heading for the opening hangar of the lead ship as it attempts to scramble fighters to intercept any boarding actions.

Aboard the gunship ferrying Samus to the enemy, the clones had started stomping their left feet as their lieutenant, Chopper, spoke. "SPARTANS! What is your duty?!" A chorus of voices answered him, loud and strong in the confines of the ship.

"Àuh! Àuh! Àuh!" The lieutenant continued.

"What is the last sound the enemy hears when we take their lives?!"

"Àuh! Àuh! Àuh!"

"And what is the last sound they hear as they're sent screaming to hell?!"

"Àuh! Àuh! Àuh!" The Clones were clearly experienced boarders and ready to rock, even as the blasters on the starships from both Imperial and Republic ships soared around them. Second stretched into minutes and felt like hours, but before the orange armored woman knew it, the LAA/T was set down in the Imperial Venator's hangar, the doors sliding open as the black-and-red clad clones rushed out, their blaster rifles firing on the enemy defenders as both sides took cover. The orb turrets on the LAA/Ts lanced out their green lines of death, cutting through crates and the defenders behind them.

"All units, push for the bridge! We're taking their admiral prisoner!" More LAA/Ts poured in, unloading more of the Clones as the two sides exchanged fire, but it was clear that the Phase 3 clones had the edge and soon the white clad Imperial clones were in retreat back into the halls of the ship. "No quarter, move, move, move!" The clones of the [i]Resurgence[/i] were close behind the retreating defenders and soon enough, the halls of the ship were alight with blaster fire.
