History[edit]
Itching for action while stationed aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Overlord, Venom squadron were taking their time off to drink, and tell stories. The time arrived where the Overlord required its scheduled supply and personnel delievery in order to stay in operation for the next sixth months. The supplies are coming from the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer Atrus, which is located one eighth of the way around the system and thus too close for hyperjump. Instead, a convoy of freighters will be traveling the distance. Pirate activity has been rumoured to be in the area, and as a result Venom Squadron has been assigned to escort the convoy.

Outcome[edit]
Eight Z-95s ambushed Venom Squadron from a nearby asteroid belt halfway to the Atrus. Sabre destroyed one, as well as aiding Denethor and jaded in destroying a second one. All but the leader (who was taken prisoner) were destroyed in the initial confrontation. A CR-90 Corellian Corvette soon arrived from hyperspace at which point the remaining Z-95 fired up his engines and made a run for it. Swomz destroyed the fighter before he could get away.f
After the corvette launched two squadrons of headhunters, the Atrus arrived for support and launch two squadrons of its own (Viper and Aegis). Denethor and Sabre each destroyed two more fighters. The enemy threat was destroyed, though Swomz was disabled in the attack.
Just when it was all thought to be over, a MC80 Star Cruiser and Bulk Cruiser exited hyperspace and immediately launched one squadron of A-Wings and a squadron of B-Wings. The Vast Empire force managed to eliminate the threat and successfully complete the mission.
The story ends with the ISD Overlord being pulled from hyperspace and attacked...
