COMMENTARIES
THE NEW EMPIRE (Continuation)

VI
 
 
 
- Attention Sirs! Von Predator Forge answered- This is our plan. When we are at attack distance, Eldanor and Stack will move ahead and loose their torpedoes against the objectives, then they will come back immediately to the Intrepid… Then O’Ryan and Branet will do the same, but they won’t return to the Intrepid… they must follow me as escorts until I achieve enough distance to loose my space bombs… Then we will also come back…Do you copy Gamma 3?…
 
Numerous consent answers were in unison heard against the growing noise of our ships engines. At the same time, the alert systems of my fighter-bomber started sending warning signals. The tracking sensors faraway identified numerous enemy bombers coming to intercept us. From them, thousands of fragments got loose which were immediately identified as steered torpedoes by my ship sensors.
 
All of my spaceship defensive systems were automatically activated setting shields to their maximum power…
- This is Gamma 3-2; enemy bombers are coming to us! We’ll have to adopt evasive operations!
- Gamma 3-2, do not break the formation! – Von Predator ordered – Help is soon coming!…
 
A huge vibration shook my ship along with an immense noise produced by engines to maximum acceleration. Numerous Interceptors Ties passed around me almost grazing the shields, which threw into the enemy interceptors. An uncountable lasers rain got loose from them starting to sweep our frontal space, destroying missiles and enemy spaceships. In the middle of that hazy scene full of explosions and pieces lied through our way, the sensors in my helmet detected a free way to the enemies, which I immediately reported to my wing leader.
 
- I’ve got it, Branet! – Von Predator answered – Gamma 3, follow my trace!…
 
We accelerated to maximum speed. Von Predator, followed by O’Ryan, moved forward shooting lasers and following an invisible route, which could only be interpreted by the graphics that our sensors reflected on our helmet screens… This route looked like a tunnel, through which we moved as if we were inside a spiral and whose walls were made of Interceptors Ties and enemy bombers fighting among them, shooting lasers and torpedoes that interrupted our route from time to time. Among the interceptors, I could identify Captain D.T. Hammer's fighter-bomber. Casualties being borne by the squadron turned on critic, so I even more accelerate my Tie bomber, taking care not to smash into another spaceship. We could see the way out in front of us. We rose out like a whirlwind, followed by laser shootings and proton torpedoes. Two of them had altered their course against me, forcing my Tie bomber to make acute tactics that threatened the integrity of its structure. I managed to escape from them. When I could balance my spaceship, I adjusted my vision into my objective.
 
An enemy frigate was in front of us…
 
- OK gentlemen; load your torpedoes… - Von Predator ordered- Eldanor, what’s your state?
- Regular state, Sir – the Sublieutenant answered – My shields are at a 75% and my guide system is lightly damaged… So I will have to get a little bit closer to my objective...
 
- Try not to take a risk too much Sublieutenant; we need you for a second backlash…
 
- Stack?…
- Just a few scratches, Sir. I have my objective perfectly focused…
- Fine, we are almost at shooting distance … go forward the formation!
 
Both Tie-bombers came loose from our alignment moving forward. Each one started taking a lightly different direction focusing his objective. I could notice that Sublieutenant Eldanor’s fighter bomber had certain damages at both sides and its speed was slower, for which I was worried about.
 
- O’Ryan and Branet, report your state!
- Nothing to report, Sir. I have my torpedoes loaded – O’Ryan answered – I’m ready to fight…
- I for my part, everything’s in order, Sir – I hurriedly answered while I looked at my sensors and Eldanor and Stack’s fighter bombers evolution.
- I’m analyzing the Frigate structure. His dimensions are bigger than normal. I don’t get any record of its origin or identification from our database.
- I copy, Branet – Von Predator answered – Attention, Gamma 3. Start the attack!

 
I immediately accelerated my spaceship breaking the formation. I adjusted the vision of my helmet again to observe my companions’ attack, while I calibrated my fighter-bomber sight. Faraway, Eldanor and Stack got loose their torpedoes almost at the same time. Meanwhile a growing laser rain fell around them, which was coming from the enemy frigate turrets. They both started evasive strategies trying to escape from the shooting range by means of diverse spins through the laser rain. I could frightened see how a rays row turned aside looking for Sublieutenant Eldanor’s fighter bomber and striking one of its wings, which finally exploded into thousand of pieces. Wrapped in flames and smoke, the spaceship started spinning without any control describing a parabola that finally crashed on the same frigate and causing a huge explosion on its hull… At the same time, followed by enemy batteries, Stack could move away his spaceship with difficulty being shocked on the back part of the fighter-bomber and which shook it. Finally, he found the true course of the Intrepid. Immediately afterwards, several explosions revealed that torpedoes had hit on their objectives, demolishing part of the turrets that had attacked them and which put Sublieutenant Eldanor to death…

COMPETITIONS

I will summarize competitions that apply to Sin in this section, but you should always check the Competitions Center and Combat Center for full details on all competitions.

  • Project 659
    Each month, fly the SP battles indicated in the Sin Weekly Squadron Report and earn bonus points for high scores and fastest submissions.

  • Commodore's Library

  • Top Muse
    Each week submit your idea to AD Pete Mitchell for participation.

  • Wing II Commander's Escort Flight / Warrior Commodore's Escort Flight

  • TIE Corps Pilot League
    Like TCoP, the Pilot League is a single-player comp taking place every other week. The difference here is that pilots have a rolling handicap. Each round, the pilot with the highest handicap score (expressed as a percentage of the high score) in each platform will earn 4 points. The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1. If the winning pilot in a platform also beat the high score (without the handicap added), that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.

  • TIE Corps on Recon
