OOC: Angel will arrive in the next post.
IC: Angel and the captain on the UNCA Voyager were standing on the bridge talking. They were discussing the current problem they had been having with the targeting programming of the turbolasers. “Let’s just reinstall the targeting programming using the backup software. It would take the lease amount of time and allow use drill the crew to purge the computer system if needed. We can use the ion cannons and mass driver for primary defense.” The captain agreed with Angel that it was the quickest way to fix the targeting program and would be a good drill. He sent out the order and turned back towards Angel. They started to talk about other minor glitches which had developed.
Then the communication offer turned towards Angel. “Ma’am, a message coming in on your channel. Shall I play it.” Angel told her no, she would play it remotely.
Angel used her ability to hack into the wireless network of the ship. She played the message and noted the voice stress pattern of Jor. This was serious. She turned back to the captain. “We need to go to Tishi, Jor needs our help.” She looked at the captain and realized that they had already started to purge the targeting data, Angel calculated that the fighter would start without the turbolasers.
The captain looked at her, “Okay, but that planet is not in our database.” He looked serious, wanting to help Warmaster Jor. Angel walked over to the navigation computer and pulled out a cable. She had already started to calculate for the jump, so by the time she inserted the cable into ear port she just uploaded the jump information and engaged the hyperdrive. The ship would travel to the target at best hyperspace. She her hyperspace equation would take them dangerous close to real space, but she was confident in her calculations. They would make the trip in record time, she just hoped she would not be to late.

The Yun-Harla lifted off the ground with little difficult and detached from the Cronus. Jor put into a spiral, taking it away from the Cronus in wide circles before straitening it out and throwing full power to the engines. The shuttle lurched forward at it's top acceleration and Jor started feeding power to the weapons. Jor reached over to the com board and scanned open frequencies. Jor left the band he and galera were using to communicate alone, but he put in a command to transmit on all the other communication frequencies and plugged his datapad into the com board. The tap of a few keys later and Kickstart My Heart started blasting out over the com frequencies. The Yun-Harla had an electronic warfare package installed so her transmitter was a powerful one, the communications jamming Jor instilled would be effective at disrupting communication between their individual fighters and the fighters link to their mother ship. "Cee, i left this channel open for us but eventually they'll find it and start using to communicate themselves. Maintain radio silence unless it's something really important." Jor said quickly before putting his headphones on and double checking the buckle on his crash webbing. "Buckle up" Jor said to the alternate version of himself sitting in the chair next to him, and then proceeded to put the Yun-Harla in a hairpin turn to port, putting him on a coarse for the Interdictor. Mirror Jor flew out of his seat before he could even reach to the buckles at his shoulders and slammed hard against the starboard console. "Hey!" Mirror Jor said as he picked himself up and slid back into the seat. Jor smirked. "I warned you old man, i guess your just not fast enough for me." Mirror Jor buckled himself in and glared. "Your the old man on this ship old man. I might have 100 years on you but your the one getting wrinkles." Jor's smirk evaporated. "Hey, chicks dig older guys." "Older guys sure." Mirror Jor said. "Old guys... not so much."

(XD hilarious and the song wasn't a complete fail XD) Galera took off right after galera pulling off the exact movements showing off to his powerful counterpart. After straitening he sped up and started to fly directly under jor's ship not touching it but if a fly started to flap his wings something disastoris could happen. He flew away from the bottom of jors ship and started to fly alongside it. Then Galera heard the blasting of the song. it wasn't completely bad but Galera liked his own music. Galera put on Diary of jane Blasting out the song jor put on. he knew this might piss him off but galera wasn't about to toss up one of his favorite songs for some operation songs. Galera sped up faster that the vapor trails were showing on the ends of the wings. as galera got closer he quickly sped by the ship and tryed to join there communication set ups. he sent them a message saying "hello you have entered an area from an unknown reigon. I am a warrior recruit in the L.O.N.A.S. we will ask to board the ship and we will ask once. if you deny we will fight back without hesitations. Please respond quickly because if there is no responce we will attack immediatly."

The UNCA Voyager came out of hyperspace and noticed the old fighters and Interdictor. Angel stood next to the captain. “The scan all frequencies, Jor would have left one in the middle open. Captain let’s make that Interdictor think twice about attacking our people. Fire a few mass drive rounds between the two groups; I think that is a fair universal message.” The captain relayed the orders and designated three rounds to fire at a specific location. Angel thought a wall of turbolasers would have been more fearful, but without the targeting system it was too dangerous of hitting someone and elevate this situation.
As the shots went off the communication officer found the channel and turn to Angel. “Centurion, we got the channel.” The communication officer spoke calmly; glad he did not have to listen to that damn music any longer.
Angel tapped into the computer network and sent a message. “Yun-Harla, what do you hear?” The message was short but to the point. She wondered if there was anything she should know right away. As the message was sent the mass drivers closest to the bow open up fired, sending four slugs seventy five ton tungsten slugs though space at fourty kilometers per second. They would pass a good thousand meters off the bow of the Interdictor and around seven hundred meters away from Jor’s shuttle.

"Cee, i said radio silence, if i have to say it again i'll write it on a proton torpedo and send it to you." Jor yelled into the com.
"Sounds like your boy is itching for a fight? Maybe you should have put a muzzle on him before sending him out." Mirror Jor said, relaxing in his chair.
Jor hung the com up and turned to his mirror self. "He's new and untrained, give him a break."
Mirror Jor crossed his arms. "yeah, sure, i just hope he doesn't kill us all with his mouth while i give him a break."
Jor was about to say something back but was cut short by Cele's voice. Then Jor had to correct himself, it was Angel's voice. He picked up the com to answer back. "One contact Voyager, probably hostile. Forward scouting ship for unknown force. Boy have we got a story to tell you when we're done here."
The Interdictor in the mean time was busy finishing the launching of the rest of her fighters which were forming up on her bow. The alert fighters she had already had out were now bound for the Yun-Harla but their weapons were powered down.
The cruiser on the other hand was powering up her weapons and aiming them at the Voyager. The Lysander made the Interdictor look like a toy car by comparison but Jor didn't like it. The Voyager wasn't even finished with her shakedown cruise, she wasn't ready for a fight.
Jor shut down his jamming signal and opened a com channel to the Interdictor. "Unknown vessel, this is Warmaster Jor Halcyon of the League of Non-Aligned Systems. Do you have a representative on board i can talk to in an official matter?"
Several minutes later a response came back in broken English. "Warmaster, the Builders would negotiate your surrender, please stand by for landing instructions."
Jor hit the com again. "Unknown vessel there seems to be some misunderstanding. i didn't say anything about surrender. "
"Please sand by for landing instructions... please stand by for landing instructions." The message repeated over and over, so Jor shut it off and waited. Both Jor and Mirror Jor leaned back in their chairs and put their hands behind their heads.

Galera was driving by and understood that they weren't responding to him. He Flew back and was about 15 meters away from Jors ship when he yelled at him. he said something about roton misquitos or something. Galera then turned off the music. he just assumed that the interdicter people would assume it was a radio station.
Galera saw the ships flying around the bow and assumed sence they weren't firing at him they were not hostile at the moment. Galera shot out of his seat when he saw the voyager shooting huge blasts. He picked up the intercom and said to jor quietly "hey who is piloting that humongus ship?"

Angel stood on the bridge of the Voyager next to the captain. “Well Captain, I think we should show them we have bigger fangs. Charge all the turbolasers, ion cannon, railguns, and point defense turrets; and open all torpedo, and assault concussion missile tubes. Launch the Y-35 first and have them form a fighter screen. Then follow them up with the CHF-18 with proton rockets mounted and the X-wings. Have them form up at seven hundred and fifty meters between use and the Interdictor and one hundred and fifty meters to our ventral. Also do not use the fighter launch tubes. I know it well take longer, but I do not want to use them for the first time in a combat launch.” Angel was did not want a fight the Interdictor, but she give a show of strength to make them think twice.
Angel was bluffing of course. The shield were only at twenty three percent output, the turbolaser could not even hit the broad side of a battle station, and she did not even now if any of the missiles or point defense system would fire. The only thing she did know was that the fighters worked and if it came to a fight they would be doing the majority of the work. She then sent a lightly encoded message to Jor, it was written in Yuuzhan Vong in make it more difficult for the enemy to break. It was prompted by the demand of surrender that continued to play and the name they used; the Builders. “Jor, you want me to send an ‘explosive reply’ to their offer of surrender? I think you know Celestial’s history with the Builders.” Angel voice showed that she all the sudden took this threat extremely seriously. The Celestial people were wiped out by the Builders and it was her sister which struck back with the virus that severed there ability to manipulate the Force. This happen only 25,000 years ago, not that long ago in comparison of the amount of time Celestial program has been activated.

"Go for it Angel. Someone needs to give these suckers a reality check." Jor said as he put the Yun-Harla on a intercept coarse for the cluster of fighters formed off the Interdictors bow and started prepping the weapons.

Galera heard that and said "So that means were gonna fight?!?!?! Yay! i am going to get ready now!"
Galera did as he said and he charged up his turbo lasers and made sure all of his ships propertys were ready and not damaged. Galera looked at the little fleet and then looked down at his guns. he changed the guns to kill and slipped the pistols in his pocket and the rifle on his back. Galera had a plan.

Angel turned to the captain. "Power down the turbolasers and Ion Cannons and transfer that power to the shields. Launch all the assault concussion missiles and 24 proton torpedoes from the bow launchers at the Interdictor; and send the CHF-18s in to for a proton rocket run. When the enemy shields fail, hit them with every railgun we got, I don’t want anything larger then a suitcase. Send in three flights of the Y-35 Cobras and all the X-wings in to devastate those fighters. The remaining three flights of Cobras well protect should any missiles or fighters come our way." The captain looked shocked, but she had the authority to give the orders to attack.
Flames shot out several of the tubes of the top of the ship and a massive concussion missile along with two dummy missiles. The thing great about this weapon that Angel understood was it was a no fuse, tried and proven weapon which would not fail her. The missile flew twenty meters then turned towards the Interdictor. They would see twenty four assault concussion missiles when only eight live missiles were launched.
The proton torpedoes themselves were also a very reliable weapon, but the new rotating launcher was a new concept and they did not always have all the bugs worked out of them. The first round fired out of all eight, then only six launched in the second and third rounds. Two of the rotator jammed.
Meanwhile the fighters jumped to actions. The flights of X-wings and halve of the Y-35 Cobras went to full speed to close with the enemy. It would be a turkey shoot; the inferior Sith Fighter lacked the shields of the Union fighters. At the same time the CHF-18s began to fly at the enemy Interdictor, they would hold their fire until they were well inside the targeting range and then launch all their Proton Rockets at it at once. This would be a massive 192 proton rockets collided with the Interdictor; definitely the ‘explosive reply’ Angel had wanted.

The Interdictor turned to get away from the barrage being launched at it. It made it's best possible speed back to the rift, but couldn't get there in time to avoid the missile strikes. Her shields flared and collapsed under the barrage of assault concussion missiles and proton rockets.
It did however manage to use it's dimension drive to stabilize the anomaly. Escape pods started launching and made their way through the stable tear in space and time, going back to their home universe.
The interdictor's reactor failed catostrophically and an uncontrolled hypermatter reaction tore the ships stern apart and flung it's bow section towards Tishi's sun at high velocity.
Watching this Jor turned his shuttle towards the fighter engagement. He put the laser cannons to fire via automatic computer control and pushed the throttle up to maximum. "Six, that tear is stable again, close it down if you can." Jor said into the com.
Six's voice came back strained. "I can't. The ability to make a stable one is beyond my knowledge... so far. I have no idea how to close it on command... yet. We'll just have to wait till it destabilizes by itself."
"how long will that take." Mirror Jor and Jor said into the com at the same time.
"38 minutes and 11 seconds exactly... i think." Six responded.
Jor and Mirror Jor both raised an eyebrow. "How can you be so precise?" Jr asked.
"Because thats exactly how long it took to destabilize the last time and it's emissions are degenerating at exactly the same rate." Six said back.
Jor rolled his eyes and went back to flying, but mirror Jor just nodded and went back to watching Jor fly the ship. They got within weapons range of the fighter tussle and the laser cannons on the front of the shuttle started pounding away.
The weapons cycled quickly from target to target. Jor hadn't had time to rework the guns with better programming since he was busy installing all the holoprojectors on the exterior and custom building the drone missiles she fired so the laser cannons weren't as accurate as Jor would like. They did however give the enemy fighters something to think about.

Galera saw all of the concussion cannons attack the giant interdicter as it shot strait through the rip. galera thought in his mind "yes, here we go!"
Galera zoomed off and eventually was only a couple of meters from the giant dog fight. galera started to flip dodge and manuever his way out of many shots but he couldn't focuse on anything while doing so. he then remembered his idea. Galera back flipped flying upside down for a while backwards and flipped back front wards and started to shoot his lasers at them. he took out a couple of ships and started to move into the center of the fight and attack more of them.
After taking out about 30 or so galera had been shot at a lot but only hit twice. looks like he wasn't getting out of this one unharmed. he started to shoot at anything that was shooting at the voyagers fleet. that mean't almost anything....

OOC: Xion, it takes a while to shot down another fighter and it is much more difficult then you make it out.
IC:
Angel watched the space battle in her mind. She had tapped into the ships sensors and was using them to provide a detail picture of the battle field. After the Interdictor had been hit she turned to the captain. "Move the Voyager towards those enemy fighters, lets see if the APC PDS works." Angel wanted to join the fighter battle, but she knew it would be long over before she got there. With Jor, Cee and Voyager's fighters it was nearly a one to one ratio. But sense the Union fighters were so much more advance, they would hit the enemy fighters like a meteor shower.
The twelve Y-35s with their three powerful engines arrived before the X-wings. As they came in at full speed each Y-35 pilot picked a fighter in front of him. They continued at the same speed, closing quickly. As soon as they were within weapons range each one open fired with their two laser cannons. The swift attack was very effective, knocking out ten of the fighter. The Y-35 pilots flew though the debris of the enemy fighters and continued on flying past. They did not turn to attack more fighters right away; they wanted to see if they could draw some of the enemy fighters away from the main group to make them much easier targets.
After the Y-35 attacked, the X-wings arrived into the mix. Just like the Cobras, each pilot was assigned an enemy fighter to attack; however this time the enemy fighters turned into the X-wings. The wing leader ordered sheilds double front and weapons free. The X-wings pilots did the confirmed the order and headed at the incoming enemies. The X-wings pilots were confidant in that they would be victorious because this situtation was played out hundreds of times; shielded X-wings going up against unshielded TIE's. The tactic of first attack of an enemy unshielded fighter formation had developed to exploit this advantage.
The X-wings fired as soon as the green targeting scanner light up showing a lock. They then fired off there four laser cannons. The laser blast passed the enemy Sith fighter's lasers blast; the X-wings shields absorbed this fighter while the enemy fighters were sheared. As soon as the first wave of enemies were destroyed the wing leaded voice came over the radio. "Stabilize your rear deflectors, break into elements, and engage at will. And watch each other’s asses, no hero bullshit, everyone comes home." After the wing leader’s voice came over the radio the X-wings broke and spread out to destroy the remaining enemies. Now the starfighter battle would be in the Union favor, sense the CHF-18 would be engaging the enemy fighters after there rocket run.

((OOC: I also like how he's flying a Sith Fighter and was "hit twice." They must have been really light grazes because the Sith Fighter is as delicate as a pane of sixteenth inch glass when it comes to combat.
Another Sith fighter was blown up by a burst from the Yun-Harla. Jor brought the shuttle around and used his laser cannons to break up an enemy fighter pair but was unable to get a clean hit, the fighters were too quick. Jor cursed and put his ship on coarse for the Voyager.
"Voyager ATC this is Yun-Harla requesting a parking place on your flight deck." Jor said into the com. He wasn't going to be very useful in this fight inside a shuttle.

(they made holes in the wing i guess...i am just kindof making the fight go more quickly...i am bad in flight.... and in ground.....and much more.)
The wings on the fighter where weakened from the blasts. the fighter couldn't take much more and the ship itself wasn't doing so well in the fight. the fighter was weak enough but it couldn't take much more of the hits. galera got on the com and said "hey angel, i am going to come dock in the voyager. you give me all the crap you want when i get there..."
