Nae counted the seconds in his head after the hangar closed behind the LAATs. Then, the second the command came in he lost all count. The code word having been said by the members of the SpecForce and relayed back to the the command centre. At any point now the breaching charges on the hull of the Majestic would be set off which would then allow the infantry to storm the ship. It was the job of him and the other flight squadrons to keep reinforcements from causing a problem. Initially to stop the TIE fighters messing with the boarding tubes, and preventing the cruisers from docking to disperse more troops in opposition. In the long run, if more Imperial Vessels turned up they also had to prevent the Majestic from being blown up with all their people on it. The Imperials had a nasty habit of shooting at their own ships to keep them from rebel hands.
"All wings report in."
"Lightning 1-2 ready-"
"Lightning 1-3 go-"
"Lightning 1-4 a-okay-"
"Lightning 2, we're ready over here."
Nae nodded to himself. "Here we go boys and girls." At the most speed he could build up within the confines of the hangar he shot out into space, pulling back on the yoke and twisting it to the left he came up in a vertical spiral turning towards the Imperial vessels that were already on alert. To be fair to them one of their ships having lost weapons was a clear indication that an attack. The fact that the unknown vessel had just spewed a surpising number of starfighters let them know that it was a rebel offensive.
He clicked his comm onto the command frequency. "Black Squadron, Mynock. You focus on the TIEs coming in at 2.6 making a run towards the Keep. Thantra focus on the Light Cruisers, we've got you covered." He clicked it back to his own squadrons comm. "Lock S-Foils in attack position." He felt the ship shake and the unmistakable 'clunk' as they locked into position. Technically they should move smoothly and he shouldn't feel it, his X-Wing wasn't exactly brand new and without damage. He was just happy it flew well.
He spun to the left moving to go below one of the freighters, flipping the safety up he pressed down on the trigger for the blasters in two second intervals. His shots impacted harmlessly with the shields of the ship, however as he continued to move several hit home on the TIEs. One even falling from it's docked position, before exploding. Another notch for the hull of his ship, though it wasn't so much a battle yet as much as it was shooting fish in a barrell. Unfortunately soon enough the Imperials would regain their composure and start fighting back.
