The shuttle carrying Scylla then enters Mustafar orbit, but is way behind everyone else as it does not have any stealth capabilities, nor does it have much weaponry. They then wait to see how things play out first before moving closer to the planet.

He nods and stands. "OK here's what I want you to do when we enter the atmosphere they are going to know we are here. When that happens be ready for a fight. we have a bit of an advantage in that we will be harder to see than the others both on sensors and visually. I want you in the confusion to find an area about three klicks from the facility and drop to a mile up....I'll make the jump from there." He looks at her lovingly "Take care Master Gert and May the Force be with you." He squeezes her shoulder and makes for the access bay on the bottom of the ship to make his jump.

"That" she said to the empty cockpit, "would be the bad feeling."
She sits and waits for the right moment for making a flight path.

Cait's ship jumps out of hyperspace some distance from Mustafar to rendezvous with the others.
Cait flips a switch that engages the stealth capabilities of her ship silently thanking her brother for adding them.
Geenine power up the weapon systems we in case need them. How are the shields doing?
Geenine beeps that they are fine.
Good we are going in stealth but it is always best to be prepared.
Cait then prepares herself by cloaking her presence in the Force.

The shuttle then starts to make it's way towards the planet, but is still far behind everyone else, so not to attract too much attention. Scylla then goes to the pilot.
"Pilot, stay behind, we do not want to alert anyone..." she said as she stared out the viewport.
The pilot then nodded and set the throttle back at half speed, with the shields up.

Nick smirks slightly and gets out of the chair and makes his way down to the yacht's hangar bay. He climbs up into his stealth x-wing fighter and closes the canopy. He waits until his astromech unit is in position and opens the cargo bay doors. He engages the x-wing's engines and flies out of the Redemption.
Grinning slightly, he catches up with one of the Interceptors and opens fire on it.

The Sith Interceptor then became nothing but a fiery ball, as it was destroyed. The destruction of the Interceptor had then alerted the remaining fighters, as 8 more came across orbit and were heading for the lone X-wing, as they are all in a straight line from right to left, firing thier laser cannons at the Fighter, and one Interceptor on each end, split from the line, to try and flank the X-wing from both sides, firing thier cannons at him as well.

Luke followed after Nick into the atmosphere. He dropped in behind the 8 Interceptors. He opened himself up to the Force and began to fire on the Interceptors with a precision that could have only been found in the Force. He quickly took out two in large fireballs. Luke prepared himself as he watched as two Interceptors broke off pursuit of Nick and barrel-rolled and slowed the thrust of their ships. This allowed them to go into a position behind Luke.

Cait is tempted to join in the fray with the Interceptors especially when she senses Nick in trouble. But she knows the would be a very bad idea on her part since one she was no fighter pilot, two she wasn't in a fighter and three could barely fly as it was.
She holds her breath as she watches. She breathes a slight sigh of relief when she sees Luke come to Nick's rescue as he takes out 2 more fighters. Now the odds are a little more even. She almost feels sorry for the enemy fighters up against those two. She maneuvers around and out the path of the fighters flying closer to the planet looking for a place to land.
Spying the perfect spot in which to land she flies the Elen-tari into the atmosphere and descends as she keeps a sharp eye out for trouble.

Nick smiles when he sees Luke joining the fray. "Thanks Luke." He says over comms. He sees two interceptors coming up behind him. He hits the brakes of the fighter and watches as both fighters zoom past him. Smirking slightly, he locks onto one of them and fires, deftly destroying it. He does a quick barrel-roll, and targets the second one. He fires and watches it go up in a ball of fire.
He chuckles quietly and then pauses slightly feeling a familiar presence through the Force. Smiling softly recognizing it, he continues on.

With only 3 Interceptors left, they quickly move into evasive maneuvers and split up with each going in one direction.
Then all 3 of them finally turn back towards the fighter pilots, and all three of them starts to dump everything they have from thier laser cannons, as sprays of laser fire are directed at Both X=wing fighters.

Luke stretches out with the Force and begins evasive maneuvers. He goes into a steep dive drawing 2 of the Interceptors toward him. Because of the dive, both end up behind him, chasing him to wards planetfall. Luke pulls up out of his dive and shoots up to wards the upper atmosphere. "Divert extra power to the rear deflector shields Artoo." Luke then executes a barrel roll to the right and dampens the thrusters, slowing his speed. This allows one of the Interceptors to shoot past. The other follows him in the barrel roll.
Luke begins to move in a figure 8 pattern to avoid fire from the Interceptor trailing. He fires on the ship in front of him when it crosses his line of fire. He quickly scores hits and the ship erupts into flames. One down, one to go.
Luke is beginning to take heat from the ship behind him. It scores hits taking out one of his laser cannons and some damage to one of the wings. Luke increases speed and pulls back on the stick. He begins to climb and go into a loop back behind the Interceptor. The Interceptor attempts to follow Luke, but his loop is tighter and faster than the X-wings loop. Luke lines up the shot to take the Interceptor out, having ended up behind the other ship. Using the Force, he fires a shot to take out the Interceptor.
Luke then heads towards the Mensix Mining Facility and lands his Stealth X there.

Nick watches as Luke destroys what he thought was the the last of the Interceptors. He then turns and starts to pilot his X-Wing down to the surface, following behind Luke when he catches sight of the final Interceptor. "Thought you could escape did you." He smirks and as the Interceptor comes up behind him, he pulls back hard on the controls and the X-wing does a flip over the Interceptor and ends up behind him. "Nighty night Sithy." He mutters and opens fire. The Interceptor blows up in a ball of fire.
Grinning, he heads for the surface.

The Shuttle then starts to make it's way towards the surface, when Scylla walks up to the pilot.
"Pilot, stay above surface for now. We don't need to get in their way at the moment. The Jedi can handle this..."
The pilot then looks up at her with a worried look.
"I don't mean to speak out of turn, Lady Scylla, but why are we helping the Jedi? I mean, the Interceptors we had seen earlier, were they not ours?" He asked, as he continued to stare at her, not knowing what's going on.
She then looks out towars the viewport, not wanting to meet his stare.
"Yes, it was ours, but you should know that the Sith Masters are no longer in charge. they have destroyed lives, and I shall not take it, and neither will you, unless that is, that you will want to join them...?
She then unclips her lightsaber, and a purple blade comes out from the hilt. the pilot then looked at the lightsaber blade, and returned his focus back to the viewport.
"No, Malady, there will be no problems what so ever. I will obey you..." He said.
She then nods to him, and then whispered into his ear.
"The next time you question my orders, my husband will deal with you, and as you know, he is not the kind of guy you want to offend, especially when it comes to his wife..."
the pilot then took in a big gulp, and concentrated on flying, as Scylla turned off her lightsaber, and then sat down in the co-pilot chair next to him, allowing the pilot to soak it all in.

* 2 Mandalorian ships emerge from hyperspace and the bays on them open and assault shuttles and fighter escorts burst forth from the holds and get into a holding pattern awaiting further orders from the Mandalore.*
