Prince Eskel recognized Kijani's voice and began to relax. Whatever the hell was going on, at least he had a trained Jedi to back him up.

"Thank you!" he said once the blindfold was off and Kijani began searching the guards. As she searched, he looked around the room with his former guards laying in heaps on the floor.

"I've known these men for years. My father assigned them to me when I was a kid. Why did they do this?" he said, his voice barely over a whisper.

Adam pushed his X-wing as fast as it could go, knowing that he didn't have long to act. As he suspected, the imperial cruisers were slow to pick up on him, and were late in bringing up their shields. Much too late.

The x-wing emptied it's entire payload of torpedos into the two ships, and Adam was very grateful he brought them. The damage was immediately evident as both cruisers began to drift. Inspite of his victory, Adam's scopes could tell that a few smaller signals were already on the planet. They could only belong to fighters.
