Space Battle for dessert

by Iwa

While we are ‘waiting’ for the captain to print a new copy of herself, I open negotiations. I am hoping to stop the bloodshed and maybe get us an ally against the empire. The captain is willing to talk and invites us to dinner. The representative she sends to escort us is friendly, talkative, and willing to answer all questions. We enter a room that is lavish in the extreme with an actual pipe organ at the end of the room. The cook, a Gamorrean, enters with herbed nerf.
 
Our host enters in full pirate regalia. We begin a conversation about her past and the reason we are here. After negotiation, we all agree to work together and explode the Westlake after towing it to a safer location – away from the thermal detonator material. Then we finish dinner with small talk and excellent food. Suddenly, Dizzy is in a hurry to go so I make our apologies to our host and we get back to the shuttles.
 
Quick sensor scan and we see a battleship decloaking while sending out a full flight of interceptors. One wing is something different. I do a full sensor scan and detect all the various parts of the battle. I can see Vader dragging the Westlake out of its nest, the pirate ship firing up and turning into the battle, and I can see more details of that wing of fighters. They have a fin on top and a fin to either side of the body. No nose like the interceptors. What are they?!?!? Then they disappear.
 
Dizzy takes a shot and takes out a group of interceptors. The pirate ship fires on an asteroid and takes out even more of the interceptors. Vador distracts the capital ship into firing towards him – and the mynocks. Dizzy suddenly jumps up and takes off towards the hold. We hear her yell so Pilot turns on the cameras and sees her dealing with what look like Stormtroopers. I move over to the gunnery station and fire at the capital ship which is in range now. I hit it and they have to adjust shields.
 
I take another hit, this time doing it in two shots attempting to weaken shields and then hit before they can adjust. I manage to damage the ship, but I also manage to set off an ion wave as one of the interceptors gets hit and then explodes into one of the asteroids. I try another double blast, but the capital ship is able to react faster this time.
 
Dizzy comes back and I turn the guns over to her and get back to the sensors. Morticia thinks I can adjust the sensors to see the cloaked whatever ships. Unfortunately, there is a problem and, with a minor explosion, we lose sensors entirely. I try to repair the sensors and I get them up long enough to detect a cruiser coming through and then they go down again.
