Mala gave out a laugh as she directed her hand towards the library. She put the black assassin helmet over her head and with a flicker she turned invisible. The defenders may have been thousands, but so were the attackers. Sure, they only had a hundred vehicles or so to their assistance while the defenders had easily over a thousand. The advantage with Mala's assignment was that they did not have to take them all out. They only had to reach inside the library for long enough time to download."Remember, troops. We did not come here to survive. Breach the perimitor, seize the library and commence the download. No room for misstakes. Cost what it will! FOR THE PROPHETS!"
As Mala was walking in stealth, a loud noise roared the skies. Like thunder, the rounds of the mobile artillery thundered trough the skies and struck the targeted vehicles or turrets. The AT/AA's did their best to fend of the incoming air units, but they were low at number unfortunately. Despite the plannings, Mala did not expect a counter this heavy.
The X-wings, on their first pass strafed the troops attacking their library, while the TIE-Defenders destroyed several shuttles.
Twenty dark troopers, two red robed royal guards, and two droidekas stood motionless on guard in the main complex, while thou sounds of battle raged. One figure robed in black, stood infront of the entrance to the galactic library's computer. His eye's burning yellow, his skin colour hidden under his hood, "They will not enter this place, you will serve your purpose!"
Outside the battle raged on and regular troops were cut down at each turn till only the storm troopers remained. Blaster fire scattered across the ground and an AT-AT trudged across the fields of fire, its armour harmlessly deflecting blaster shots. The AT-AT's head swung around, and four red tinted, white beams leaped fourth and a shuttle exploded. It fired again and again, and the attackers troops were blasted into the air, several were blown to pieces, while the All Terrain Armoured Transport's side mounted AA guns, fire at the attacking air vehicals. The AT-ST's defending the walkers fired at the ground troops and helped reinforce the storm troopers defending Obroa-Skai.

"Mala! Forces from orbit strike heavily at our descending shuttles. Our 12.8's have not yet been pinpointed. Shall we retreat?"
"Negative, capital. They will track you down, and we can't afford having our headquarter revealed. Attack them. Fight them"
"Affermative, Mala"The moment the two 12.8 destroyers engaged the destroyers and cruisers out in orbit, they turned visible. The force cloaking by the ritualists and prophets lasted only until the point where energy was used, and the formerly invisible 12.8's was now fully targetable.
"This is captain Mroon. Supress the fighters. The shuttles must reach ground"
And with that command, Predator-class fighters swarmed out of the 12.8's, roughly fifty from each 12.8 raced out to defend the shuttles.[/B]
The two-hundred and sixteen X-wings swarmed out, splitting up into flights of four fighters, three per squadron. On their first pass, having dispersed to avoid turbo laser's they fired a salvo of torpedo's (Thats 432 torpedo's) at the command tower of just one of the Dreadnaught class Star Destroyers (12.8). Then the X-wings split up again into flights of two fighters each and decided to play tag with the Predator's.
While the seventy two B-wings headed for the shuttles, ion cannons gattling away, along with their laser cannons.
A Calamiri cruiser, under the onslaugt of the sustained fire from both SSD's began to lose power and then went dark as the ships engines malfunctioned. Explosions ripping the ships keel apart. The Imperial Destroyer's traded blows with the much larger ships, their shields quickly weakening until one of the Star Destroyers roll to bring fresh shields into play, turbo lasers flying across between each ship. The other ISD concentrated on the other SSD the X-wings had targeted.
[b]Back on the ground
"This is Mala. Their AT ranks are too strong, but also too slow. Circle them and focus fire on the TX tanks. The assassins and I will head for the library. The magnetics should be terminated by now. Artillery, focus fire on the library walls"As she finished the sentence, a turret not far from her exploded by the explosives she had deployed. Thanks to the chanting ritualists, the invisible assassins remained unseen on radar as well as other sensors.
"Damn them prophets. They never mentioned it would be this heavily defended" [/B]
Several elite storm trooper squads carrying ysalamiri frames, spotted several of the asassin's. They were immediatly hit by blaster-shots.
