Star Wars: A New Beginning/Chapter 7: Under Siege

Fox and Typhuss were ordered to go up to the command room in the Confederate Armed Forces HQ on Coruscant. Several senators and Jedi waited there.


 * "We picked up a transmission from Pantora. The planet is under siege." said a Jedi, as he turned on a hologram.


 * "This is Captain Keeli of the Pantora Garrison. We are under attack and require assistance as soon as possible!" yelled Keeli over the blaster fire.

The clone troopers left the room and pilled on to the gunships. Admiral Beckett was waiting for them in the Venator-class Star Destroyer Destiny's bridge. The ship jumped into hyperspace.


 * "We picked up a transmission from Pantora as you were already informed. The fleet around the planet was obliterated, so expect some heavy fire from the enemy ships when we reach the system. You will meet up with Captain Keeli on the surface." briefed the Admiral.

The two clone commanders and the Coruscant Guard and the 52nd Star Corps got onboard the gunships and they took off and exited the hangar bay. As soon as they entered open space, they received heavy fire from the enemy ships, as the Admiral told them. Most of the gunships made it through the blockade, as Beckett's cruisers engaged the Yuuzhan Vong worldships.

Meanwhile, on the surface, a firefight had erupted. The CFP soldiers and clones were outnumbered and were out gunned. Their heavy weapons failed and they were running out of ammo. Many Pantorans were also killed, civilian and rebel. The gunships were a welcoming site as they entered the atmosphere. Captain Keeli ran back to the camp as the gunships landed. The clone troopers ran out to battle.


 * "We have engaged the Yuuzhan Vong, but they have proven to be more elite than we thought. They got us outnumbered and out gunned." reported Keeli.


 * "We will have to distract them as the Pantorans get on the gunships. The pilots will fly them back to the Destiny and return to pick us up, if we would be alive." planned Fox.


 * "Agreed. I will meet you at the front." said Typhuss, and ran out to battle.


 * "The senator has escaped into hiding somewhere on the planet." added Keeli.

The two clones then met up with Typhuss out in the battlefront, and attacked the strange aliens.
