The Interdiction
 

The Bayonet Light Cruisers Imperial Justice, Peace Keeper, Investigator, Persistence, and Apprehension were pulled out of hyperspace by an asteroid being used as a "mass block" by pirates working in conjunction with the Rebels. Those five Imperial ships were being sent to quell a recent dispute that erupted in the Vermondus System over planetoid mining rights. Your vessel the Nebulon-B Frigate Blazing Sun, along with the Nebulon-B Frigate Overkill are to rescue the light cruisers from destruction. Your fighter complement is 1 TIE Bomber and 3 TIE Fighter Squadrons. Opposition is reported to be the Rebel Assault Frigate Brilliant Hope, the Pirate Marauder Corvette Blazing Claw, 1 Z-95 Headhunter, 1 A-Wing and 2 Y-Wing Squadrons.

Note that four Assault Gunboats armed with a full load of concussion missiles are available for reinforcements. TIE Fighters have no warheads. The TIE Bombers are armed with 6 Proton Torpedoes each. The Z-95 Headhunters and A-Wings are armed with 6 Concussion Missiles each, while each of the Y-Wings are armed with 6 Proton Torpedoes.

Correct Response Number 1

The four Assualt Gunboats would be called to quickly destroy the Y-Wings with their Concussion Missiles.  During this the Bayonet-class Light Cruisers would make their way to the Neb-Bs while attempting to destroy any incomming enemy warheads with their lasers and destroy enemy fighters with their Tractor beams and Turbolasers.  Any missiles the Gunboats have left would be used against the remaining Rebel fighters.  Two Assualt Gunboats along with TIE Fighter squadrons Alpha and Beta would work together to destroy the Rebel A-Wings.  Eight Tie Bombers from Gamma squad would fire their torpedos at the Rebel Assualt Frigate untill it's Shields were down.  The Gunboats would then disable the Assualt Frigate for capture with their Ion Cannons.  The remaining Bombers would destroy the Rebel Mar/Crv Blazing Claw with their torpedoes.  Once the Rebel fighters were destroyed the remaining TIE Fighters would escort the Bayoner-class Light Cruisers back to the safty of the Neb-Bs turbolasers.   Wade Finley

Galactic Empire Data Bank's Answer

First call in the Assault Gunboat reinforcements, then order all of the Bayonet-class Light Cruisers to make a run towards the Nebulon-B Frigates, while firing all available weapons at any and all targets. The Nebulon-B Frigates would intercept the Bayonet Light Cruisers. All of the Bayonet Light Cruisers with their shields down would head out of the battle zone. The cruisers with remaining shields would engage the Blazing Claw, while flanking one of the Nebulon-B Frigates. As soon as the shields on a Bayonet Light Cruiser were close to dropping, that ship would head out of the battle zone. The Assault Gunboats would be directed to let off as many of their concussion missiles against the Pirate Marauder Corvette and the Rebel Assault Frigate. As soon as they get close enough to one of the Y-Wing squadrons, they would engage it. Order TIE Fighter Squadron Alpha and half of Beta (designated Beta 1) to engage the A-Wings. The other half of Beta (designated Beta 2) would engage Grey Squadron. Half of Delta Squadron (designated Delta 1) would engage Razor Squadron, while the other half of Delta Squadron (designated as Delta 2) would engage Gold Squadron. Meanwhile, Gamma Squadron would stay with the Nebulon-B Frigates. The Nebulon-B Frigates would concentrate all fire against the Rebel Assault Frigate Brilliant Hope. The Nebulon-Bs would also use their tractor beams to latch onto the Blazing Claw to hold it in place. Once that action is taken, the Gamma Squadron would unleash their proton torpedoes against the Brilliant Hope. As soon as they run out of torpedoes, they would attack with their laser cannons at maximum range. As soon as the Y-Wings have been eliminated, the remains of Beta 2 and Delta 2 would rejoin their original squadrons to finish off the enemy escort fighters. While the Assault Gunboats would turn their attention on the Blazing Claw with the intention of disabling the ship. Once the Blazing Claw is disabled, the Assault Gunboats and the TIE Fighters (after they removed the remaining enemy fighters) would turn their attention to finish off the Rebel Assault Frigate.
