Star Wars: Yuuzhan Vong/Chapter 3: Day of Black Sun

After the artifact was destroyed, it was discovered that a large mine of power crystals was being used by the Republic Nation, located on a archipelago of islands in the western part of the planet. The 181st, 187th, Onyx Squadron, Avenger Squadron, and Scimitar Squadron went to attack the mine, the entrance of which was located at a province capitol called Caldera City on the main island. They squadrons would give cover to the gunships which would land troops at the beach plaza, and head up into the dormant volcano where the city and mine was located. The squadrons went to the capitol.

They took off a maritime Imperial navy cruiser and took off. To reach the island, they had to pass the Republic Navy Blockade of water cruisers in order to reach the island. The squads took off to the blockade. The cruiser opened fire, destroying a couple fighters, but the rest got through. After passing the blockade, they finally reached the island, and attacked. Battlements on the beach and around it opened fire, taking out more starfighters and bringing down a gunship. The rest landed, and troops and tanks poured out and attacked. They were met with fierce fire users shooting at them. An eclipse that blocked out the sun, the thing that gave them power, would happen that day, in around ten minutes.

The squads flew passed the troops, taking out battlements. Typhuss led the 181st and 187th to the city while Onyx, Avenger, and Scimitar squadrons would help bomb the area ahead of the troops to clear it up for the ground forces. Passing more battlements, the 181st and 187th finally reached the city. One of the battlements shot down more fighters, including Leeta's. Typhuss turned around and flew back to where she crashed, and landed. They were taken prisoner by fire users, who disarmed them and burned Typhuss right arm. They took them prisoner and left the city.

After getting to the prison, Typhuss heard that the Imperial troops lost when Vong reinforcements came. Typhuss and Leeta were placed in a cell, and the guards told them that their leader would arrive to question them.
