Combat (Round 14&15)
Flash brought the Sarratoga around in a sharp turn, allowing an exchange of fire between the two vessels. As Reprisal poured turbolaser fire into Sarratoga's, Darak and Jamie raked the corvette with ion and turbolaser fire. While the cruiser's shields held, the corvette buckled as turbolaser blasts burned into its hull. Meanwhile Jamie's ion cannon blasts continued to wreak havoc on the corvette's systems.
Finally reaching the sensors, Jek pulled up a sensor report. "Wow, you've done a number on her. Looks like her targetting computer and sensors are down. Their flying blind over there."
In his Headhunter, Devon continued to maneuver wildly, determined to evade the missiles on his tail. Focusing on the corvette, he dove as hard and fast as the craft would allow. So focused on his target was he, that he failed to see the lead Cloakshape explode spectacularly as it took a head on hit from Danie's turbolaser.
Diving hard, Devon skimmed along the length of the Reprisal. He got so close he swore he could reach out and touch the deck plates. As he reached the end he pulled a hard right turn and killed his engines, praying his gambit work.
That night, it seemed fate was witht he young shipjacker. All four missiles lost track of his ship and instead locked on to the corvette's engines. The explosion sent the capital ship into a spin for several seconds until the pilot got it under control.
Moments later a message began broadcasting on the local comm. "This is Hydia IV defence corvette Reprisal. We have taken serious damage and have numerous casualties. We are withdrawing from your secotr and ceasing hostilities. I repeast ceasing hostilities and withdrawing, over."
True to its word, the corvette was attempting to limp away. The sole remaining Cloakshape fighter had stopped chasing Devon and was falling into formation with the cruiser.
