Simon Peter Gruber and the crew of the Templar exit hyperspace over the planet of Thyferra. Here to claim the planets supply of Bacta for the sith and it's troops. The Templar cruised into high orbit and started scanning the republic's planetary defenses. six sith fighters launched from her hold and formed a fighter screen. It wasn't long before they were hailed.
"Templar, Templar, this is Captain McClain of theDouglas Munro. Please state your intentions."
Simon walked over to his weapons officer and looked over his shoulder at the Douglas Munro's tactical readout. It was a Hammerhead class cruiser also in high orbit. The planetary defense platform of the Thyferra system. Simon patted his WepO on the shoulder. "Target her bow guns, and open fire."

The Douglas Munro shook as she sustained fire from the Templar. The Templars heavy guns impacted the Hammerhead's forward shields. Captain McClain got back up after he'd fallen from the initial impact of the blasts and got into his command chair.
"Thrusters, get us into high orbit, we need room to maneuver. All weapons target and fire." Captain McClain ordered.
Meanwhile, Simon hand maneuvered the Templar out of the planets gravity well and started station keeping just outside of orbit and just within weapons range. Her fighter screen had broken up. two of the craft had gone down to the planet and the other four stayed with the Templar

The two ships traded body blows back and forth. their turbolasers firing making a brilliant light show in the upper atmosphere of the planet. The Douglas Munro fought to gain every inch of altitude, climbing out of the gravity well of the planet while devoting most of it's power to shields and weapons. The Templar used it's speed to dodge a lot of the incoming blasts aimed at it, and it's long range turbolaser hit the Munro with increasing accuracy as the distance closed.
