Part XI: Taking Command

Scar took command of the situation. Flipping a switch on his comm set, he tuned into the pirate fighter defense channel and barked into the headset “All Novas and Blastclaws on me. M4’s cover us. M5’s take out those missiles headed towards the Redemption. Move it!â€?. Scar heard the complies of the fighters (his fighters he thought) and glanced in the direction of the incoming Ray. It had, as he suspected, fired of a salvo of missiles. He only hoped that the M5’s could get there in time. But that wasn’t his role, he thought has he made a beeline for the Hydra, which was currently firing a steady stream of plasma bolts at a wounded Nova. Scar flipped his comms button and ordered a missile launch at the Hyrda, while communicating to the Redemption warning about the incoming missiles. At once, an array of missiles, silkworm, hornet, and disruptor missiles lept from his fighter wing, streaking towards the Boron.

Blastclaws and Novas are M3 heavy pirate fighters
Rays are M2 carriers
Hydras are M6 corvettes
