Enkindle: Burning Planet

Angel Squadron fought valiantly in the skies above. The amount of TIE Fighters had doubled since they started fighting, expected really. Their was one group of TIEs that they just couldn't shake off. Raven Squadron, Grand Admiral Abalam's elite squad of pilots. Ristt's intel had warned of them in the past. His advice don't push your luck, he'd say don't fall for their bait. "These guys just won't budge," Angel Five mumbled. "Remember what Ristt said don't be their bait!"
"Understood Angel Leader," Angel Two said, sounding surprisingly confident. "I can't shake this one!" Angel Five cried.
"Don't lose it Angel Five, I repeat don't lose it-"
"-It's too late Angel Leader he's shot down my tail. Losing power."
"Try and land Angel Five."

Angel Leader could hear the laser projectiles more and more. "I'm going down!" Angel Two's Z95 Headhunter went down in a hot ball of fire, colliding with a field of cargo crates gathered below. "Damn it keep at it Angel Squadron, don't let them flank us. Once we know Enkindle is destroyed it's straight back to Ring Base."
"Understood Angel Leader."
"Loud and clear."
"Understood sir."
The three remaining voices brought comfort and confidence to Angel Leader, they could do it. The Alliance could do it, he believed in them, in his self, in the Rebellion as a whole.

Aegon and Inna carefully navigated the maze like hallways of the Denon Weapons Facility. Trantis was focusing his fire on the DT-series Sentry Droids, giving them a chance to slip away. They grouped with a few of Ulaan's soldiers. It felt like the closer they got to the production line the quieter the security got, Stormtroopers were in double figures at the front door but down here there was only a few units patrolling the area. Aegon and the other rebels were careful not to injure any civilian workers. They couldn't blame these citizens who's only choice was Imperial labor, they needed it to survive, Aegon understood that they weren't the enemy.

"A group has some droids slicing their computers upstairs, they hopefully should be able to acquire the weapon plans," Ulaan's second in command announced. "That's good, try and get a working model of the production line - heck try and get two," Aegon felt ready. "Myself and Inna here will place a couple of charges on the production drones. We could use a few of your men, and a few charges..." The second in command handed Inna five explosive charges and a detonator. "Thanks, I don't trust detonators." Inna tossed the remote detonator switch to Aegon, he caught it. A heavy breath escaped his throat. "Don't do that again!" Baron roared, he concealed it in his pocket. "Right let's split, keep any troopers off us," Baron Aegon ordered, he nodded to Ulaan's second in command. Now was their only chance to get this mission done. He was definitely ready to get off this god forsaken planet now.
