But yes, there they were: four BFF-1 bulk freighters, lined up one behind the other with a few hundred meters between them. At the front of the convoy sat a single container transport and at the rear sat another; obviously point and rear guards for the convoy. The only real resistance was likely to come from the five R-41 Starchasers and four Z-95 Headhunters that flew interference about the convoy as the captains attempted to sort out the problem. Likely as not, it would be the last time Prahbinha's Delivery Service flew a convoy so lightly defended.

It mattered little now: Lim Hejin was in his element, strapped to his modified command chair on the bridge, the steering yoke in his hands, allowing him extremely fine control of the Stars of Arcadia. The ship had just broken hyperspace and was, from his point of view, 'falling' towards the convoy. From the varied docking clamps on the ship, a number of vessels parted ways, spreading outwards, the pair of Y-TIEs covering the Gamma shuttle while the Theta-class and the ARC-170 broke in a different direction.

"Target solution enabled," Klaus Rommel's accented voice rang deep and loud over the bridge as he scanned the varied targets. "We are locked and ready."

"Hell Klaus, don't spare the barrels. Let 'em have it." Hejin chuckled as the forward-firing six heavy turbolasers sent their blasts at the foremost container transport. A twitch of Hejin's hand and the blasts began walking their way back along the line of BFF-1 freighters towards the rear. The reaction from the freighters was immediate. They broke formation; a bad move, and tried to scatter while the snubfighters turned to face the large threat racing towards them. Unfortunately, that meant they missed the knockout punch from the side.

It was a dangerous maneuver requiring extreme timing and piloting skill, but the pair of Y-TIE uglies slashed in from one side of the rising guardian fighters, cutting loose with cannon while the ARC-170 and Theta assaulted from the opposite side and slightly lower than the aforementioned attackers, effectively scissoring into the group. Three R-41s and two Z-95s were either destroyed or disabled as, in the distance, the ATR-6 unleashed both turbolaser and ion blasts against the BFF-1s, leaving the armed container transports for the Stars of Arcadia to disable.

Hejin hated to see pointless deaths though, and shortly after the engagement began, he recalled his snubfighters to the ship. "Get on the horn, Trigger. Tell 'em if they power down now, we won't need any more shooting." The message was relayed and the freighters, largely unarmed, were quick to comply. It hadn't helped that one of the container transports had refused and continued to fight, resulting in its hull being cracked. The crew were in airtight suits, but it was a valuable lesson. The remaining snubfighters, at the behest of the lead freighter's captain, powered down as well.

It was a good hour and a half and several scared captains and crews later that Hejin and his compatriots relaxed aboard their ship. No homing beacons or external tracking methods were discerned aboard the load of cargo they had boosted (an exhaustive check by Trigger had done for that) that included a number of expensive alcoholic beverages, TIE fighter replacement parts, numerous power sources for varied weapons that were likely bound either or Volus' armed forces or for sale in its civilian defense stores, and several other items including clothing and nonperishable delicacies.

With a distress call made anonymously to Volus pointing out the location of the stranded freighters, Hejin was bound to meet with Njon; he owed the Hutt his share of the profits, after all.
