1. On Your Six
An enemy fighter has got onto your tail. Fight your opponent but ignore any bonuses from having better or superior Thrust / Manoeuvrability and your opponent fires first. If you have Tactical Awareness this event becomes a Melee.
They just keep getting on your tail! You take 3 damage before Vlad takes it out.
2. Collision Course
Maneuver Test (Level 2). You must swerve to avoid a mid-space collision. Take 4 damage if you fail.
You pass!
3. Bombing Run
You and two other ships may commence a Bombing Run on a target this turn. Ignore if there are no valid targets.
Just what you wanted! The Free Flier has a Payload rating of 3 with Deadshot, and you roll 5 successes! With the large ship and medium fighter that drop in with you, you come away having done 17 damage. A good run!
-
Then they commence a second run, doing another 10. That first transport isn't looking great. One of the medium fighters takes a scratch from its turbolasers and is in danger of going down.
Another interceptor is destroyed, and you lose no fighters!
-
Hanza leads another bombing run. They do 19 damage. Loj'oon is still hounding Hanza, for 4 damage.
-
The turbolaser banks are still going strong. They don't take any bombers out, unfortunately.

Excellent! This next turn will be what decides it though....
Large Ship and Heavies hit Boarding Ship A, Wentar will fly with the Large Ship again.
Medium Fighters and Light Fighter should hit the bombers this time around, Lo'joon can stick with the Mediums this time.
Three Events please.

Since the first card you draw is a 'Melee' and you roll five successes, you down the last interceptor! No need for events now.
Your ships go after the bombers and they get one! Loj'oon is still tailing Hanza and wings him for another three. The remaining bombers make a run.
Your ships make their run. A good 12 points of damage on the first transport is dealt... but your last large ship is hit fatally by turbolasers.
Turbolaser fire back and forth! The flaghship is moving into position to lend firepower to the bombers, but first it takes some hits.

Damn, the loss of the Large ship is gonna cost me.
No time to hold back.
Heavy Fighters hit Boarding Ship A again.
Medium and Light fighters can go for the Bombers. Wentar will fly with the Mediums, Loj'oon can fly with the Light.
Three Events again, though I'm getting a little worried now, considering the damage the Free Flier has accumulated.

1. Closing In
You move in close to your opponent, ready for the kill. Fight normally, except you win initiative in the first turn and get a three dice attack bonus.
You think your shot hit its torpedo bays. The bomber explodes violently.
2. Skimming the Hull
Maneuver Test (Level 8). You skim along the surface of a Capital Ship, avoiding gun fire and towers. Take 5 damage if you fail. If you pass, next turn you can commence a Bombing Run on this target. Ignore if there are no valid targets.
Unfortunately, you fail this one. Your dogfight with the bomber took you close to one of the transports and it dings you for 5 damage.
3. Wingman
Situation: Do not draw a card. Instead, you get one turn of combat to destroy another fighter. if you succeed, you also prevent one Pilot on your side being destroyed this turn (reduce hits appropriately).
Six successes says goodbye to a bomber!
-
Loj'oon keeps on Hanza's tail while Hanza makes one last bombing run with the remaining bomber. They score 9 damage on it... and then the last bomber goes down when your fighters overwhelm it.
-
The first transport is starting to burn and flag after some more direct missiles strikes. The others remain sturdy.
The flagship launches a barrage of missiles into the remaining shield generator!

Yes!
Wentar will order the remaining Light Fighter to return to the Seat, he can't do anything more for us here.
"Loj'oon, keep Hanza busy, we're almost done here," Wentar says. "Heavies and Mediums, with me! Lets finish that Boarding Ship."
Wentar will escort the Mediums.
Two Events, unless, with the lack of fighters, I'm clear to just make bombing runs. Cuz I'm cool with doing that.

The light fighter retreats as instructed!
You join your ships in swarming the first transport. Tragically, you lose two ships in the run (having been incredibly damaged, it was only a matter of time), but the wall of torpedoes that strikes the vessel cripples it. Feel free to describe your kill shot.
Hanza is pushing his luck by continuing bombing runs against the generator. Loj'oon is making sure his shields are dropping fast. Missile barrages from the capital ship are helping him out, though. The generator is nearly done for.

The Free Flier falls in line with his fighters as they commence their bombing run, the ship gets jostled around as a Medium fighter explodes next to him. Wentar realigns his shot, pleasantly surprised that he's been given a perfect shot at the engines. Firing off a missle he already knows the Boarding Craft is doomed, the missle hitting its target dead on, causing the engines to overload and engulfing the craft in secondary explosions as the rest of the fighter's payloads finish the job.
-
"Excellent work!" Wentar says as the Boarding Craft explodes. "Lets try take out one more before we get out of here. Loj'oon, keep the preassure on Hanza."
All fighters hit Boarding Craft C. Wentar will join them in their bombing run.

The destruction of the first transport is a bit of a game-changer here. Hanza realizes that he has been very single-minded in hitting the generator. With the capital ship taking care of that, he decides to hunt down your ships!
He takes three events- Bombing Run, Melee, and You've Got a Problem. After deploying one last torpedo, he races over and attacks one of your fighters- the Medium. With Killer Instinct, he converts that into a Closing In, then only needs three successes to take it out. He gets seven; it smears across the transport's nose after losing control.
Loj'oon hounds him for that.
Your bombing run does pretty well nonetheless. The Free Flier takes damage from a turbolaser and so does a heavy fighter.
The shield is almost out.

Damnit!
"Keep at it Loj'oon, one well placed shot and Hanza will be dealt with I'm sure," Wentar says, becoming a little anxious as the Medium fighter goes. "Heavies with me, we need to take out that other Boarding Craft."
If Wentar can get in touch to those controlling The Seat's turbo lasers he will, ordering them to focus fire on Wentar and the Heavies target, Boarding Ship C.

One last volley from the flagship sees to it that the second shield generator goes out with a bang, sending arcs of energy crackling around the side of the station before fizzling out. The shields are down and the Seat is exposed!
Hanza takes three events- Coming to the Rescue, Melee, and Skimming the Hull. Since there are no Pilots about, Hanza is dropping in to interrupt your bombing run. He stops one of the heavies from landing a direct hit, then shoots it down. Then he goes strafing the station and takes out the defensive turrets guarding one of the hangars... and lands inside!
Wentar scores a hit for 5, and Loj'oon joins in with a hit for 4, followed by a hit for 2 by one of the heavies. Wentar and the last heavy take hits.
The turbolasers have lost some of their power after Hanza's run. Unfortunately you cannot coordinate them. They miss the transports and do minimal damage to the flagship.

Crap...
"Okay, we're clear of fighters, hit that boarding ship again! Give it everything you've got," Wentar says, moving in for another run.
He then contacts the bridge. "Someone inform Altar Vynn that Hanza has made it into the hangars, see if he and some of our men can apprehend him before the boarding craft arrive."

You drop in on the transport and deliver your payload! Together, the three of you deal it ten damage. It is starting to look pretty awful, actually rather similar to the one you already destroyed...
Following the boarding ships this close to the station proves to be rather treacherous, unfortunately. The transports direct their turbolasers to unload into the hangar defenses while the flagship is firing ever missile it has into the turbolaser batteries and missile banks that line the Seat. The resulting explosions engulf the space around your ships in flame, playing havoc on your shields.
The Free Flier limps out after sustaining some damage in the blasts, while Loj'oon gets out cleanly. The pilot of the heavy fighter gives a cry of "I can't hold it...!" before becoming a part of the space inferno.

"D-Damnit!" Wentar cries when he realizes his error. "There's nothing more we can do here Loj'oon. Unless you think we can finish off that transport I say it's time to leave..."

"It will have landed by now," Loj'oon says. "It is time for this fight to become more personal. They may have breached the station, but they will not leave it alive!"
Vlad remains quiet. He shot down a good many ships for you with cold calculation.
The Free Flier and Nimble Stallion settle down in the crowded secret hangar toward the top of the station, where Altar and the pilot of the light fighter are waiting beside their battered ships. Alarms are sounding inside the Seat as it sustains heavy damage from the Srum stripping its exterior of weaponry.
"We succeeded," Altar states.
"How the hell do you figure that?" the pilot says. "We lost all of our ships!"
"But we destroyed one of their transports," Altar says. "We only needed ONE to turn the tide of the coming battle. And we did it."

Wentar shakes his head. "I should have ordered a retreat as soon as that first transport went. I had just become so determined to try and end it then and there that I lost sight of the bigger picture..."
He sighs. "What's done is done and at least we gave as good, if not better, then we got."

"You came damned close with that second transport," Altar says. "I would have kept with it myself."
"We must take up our battle stations," Loj'oon reminds. "Come, to the Bridge..."
-
Enemy forces are beginning to off-load into the hangars down below. Their attack is imminent.
Here is a reminder of how you arranged your forces. The fight will be moving vertically once the pirates take the hangar area.

Do you wish to deploy any of your Heroes or Equipment?
Also, knowing that two transports-worth of pirates will be attacking the hangars, you can pull those forces back now before the fighting begins, if you like...

1x Automated turrets deployed in the Lower Quarters.
Can I have 1x mines deployed in the Hangar to cause some damage to their advance force and the other 1x mines deployed in Cargo, in case they make a move that way?
Wentar, Altar and Loj'oon will be deployed in the lower quarters.
Holding Vlad and Hloo'jen back for now.

In that case, Turn 1 is spent laying mines and retreating into the Lower Quarters. Hloo'jen volunteers to plant the mines in the Cargo area and then high-tail it back up to the Bridge.
The pirates move their forces into the hangars, flooding the area with armed men. They reveal that they have brought a nasty surprise with them... small, armored walker units that are nimble enough to navigate the corridors of the station. They aren't heavily armed but they could pose a problem...
