Triter's pinnace dove at the long, duranium arrowhead that loomed in space before him. Turbolaser bolts sleeted by around him, the remaining cannons on the surface of the giant Sith warship doing their best to sweep away the fighters and other small craft that buzzed around the dreadnaught like gnats.
"All craft, keep yourselves spread out! Don't bunch up and make yourselves a target!" Triter called over the comm, adjusting his approach. "We're going to do a couple of passes over the hull, see if we can't take out some of these point defense systems! The fewer there are, the more ships can get in close, and the easier it will be to take down that cannon!"
"Triter, heads up! I'm getting another energy buildup inside the dreadnaught!"
Triter gritted his teeth. The giant warship had been heavily damaged by this point, so it wasn't likely they could manage another blast at full power. But the cannon would still be able to do some damage, especially in the of the dense melee that was taking place around it.
"Kark, kark!!" Triter flipped his comm to broad-spectrum, putting his signal through to the entire assembled fleet.
"Attention, attention! This is Outlaw Leader! My co-pilot is picking up an energy reaction in the Sith dreadnaught! All craft are advised to clear the firing vector of its center-line cannon!! Repeat, clear the Sith dreadnaught's line of fire!!"
Triter zoomed low over the dreadnaught, flicking a switch to ready his ship's proton torpedo launcher. The targeting computer locked on the the bow of the huge vessel; Triter wasn't sure what firing one at the muzzle of the cannon when it fired would do to the beam, but he was hoping he could at least jam open the barrel's protective cover.
Is it wide enough for a starfighter? Only one way to find out!
