Mar smiled at Carla's outburst and knelt down in front of her before Serenity scooped her up. "I'm sorry, Carla. For everything."

Outside the battle was raging. Star Destroyers tried to turn back the New Republic capital ships, but they were getting overwhelmed as the fighters swarmed the TIE fighters. And escape was no longer an option as the fleet positioned itself in front of the fleet's plotted course.

Star Destroyers began to explode and collide with neighboring ones. The New Republic was laying waste to Liden's fleet. It would only be a matter of time before Liden's own vessel was vulnerable.
