The defenders stand true in the face of the Imperial advance. Starships clash above the Opal in a deadly dogfight. Nurod Zengoshi is saved by Aaylas's close support in the Longhorn at the last moment. Kel Markens proves to be a dangerous foe but the freighter crews stand against him. The freighters make an attack run on the Gozanti Cruiser destroying it. Nurod survives another brutal pass by Kel Marken's TIE Interceptor, by the skin of his teeth. The Longhorn blows apart one of the Charnel squadron TIE interceptors.
The Interceptors are out classed and without support. They make one final pass, Kel and his wingmen destroy Nurod Zengoshi's D-Wing with blast of green laser fire. Aayla breaks radio silence making her self known to Kel who recognises her as the one remaining suvivor of Hellraiser squadron. Kel and his two surviving wingmen fall back. The day is won. The crews are heroes to the Urgnaught miners.
