Leah sat in her personal interceptor. One of the fastest vessels in the Galactic Alliance, retrofitted with military-grade deflector shields and a power core to ensure maximum capacity, cannons stronger than even the Starbird’s. The Nightingale was a starfighter fit for a Jedi Master. Fit for the operation she now embarked upon with Asha. A fellow rebel, her promising student, a close friend. Their relationship had a rocky start but had unexpectedly taken root and blossomed into something new. Nothing syrupy but strong, like any bond between master and apprentice. Together, they stood against the Empire. Together, they would make certain Imperial Hutta was free of their invasive presence.
After the first strikes on Nar Shaddaa, where Asha and Leah destroyed the Network Access and therefore the HoloNet, plunging the entire Imperial province into chaos, the Empire had gone great lengths attempting to repair it. Demanding answers and knowing constant communication was vital to regaining control, the Imperial Republica was desperate to bring the HoloNet back online. The Galactic Alliance could not afford that to happen. The Jedi Master could not let it be. So, she decided it was high time to make another strike. Against the Network Access, before the Empire revived it. Although other rebels moved to blow up tunnels or corridors leading to the central base, Leah wanted to try something else. She wanted to hit from above.
It was safer that way. Faster. They could dive in, take out a few routes or convoys digging through, then head out. From the skies, they also had a significant vantage point to see and examine the Network Access and its surrounding area. The rest of the city likewise made welcome cover. The only problem was the demand to be clear and precise. They were no bombers. However, that wasn’t the point. Leah and her student had not arrived to Nar Shaddaa to bomb the whole Network Access, or the city district for that matter. If they could have, they would have. Instead, they aimed to shut down any Imperial convoys trying to reach it, in addition to particular parts of the facility. With enough runs, or missile hits, it could just do the job.
Reaching in orbit above the planet, she reached out to Asha over her comms. “Take a deep breath. We’re about to dive in.”
