Phoenix gripped the console as the ship shuddered beneath the latest barrage. Smoke drifted across the bridge, obscuring several of the screens, but despite the damage, the ship fought on.
The order to fall back had been given days ago, yet the First Order kept coming. No matter which way the TIE Corps fleets turned, enemy forces were waiting for them. They seemed to be everywhere.
And now, just as the fleet passed beyond what they believed to be the limits of First Order control, they had stumbled into a trap.
Fifteen gargantuan Resurgent-class Star Destroyers and twenty light cruiser escorts had followed them out of hyperspace as they made their final course correction.
This was it.
Make or break.
The final round of Imperial Storm is upon us - pilots to your fighters! You have just over 48 hours to make a impact to the future of the fleet!
With only a few rounds of combat left to go, Imperial Storm enters the home stretch.
The Battlegroup Commanders, victorious from the weekends battle with the First Order but leading a fleet showing signs of their recent struggles continue to plot a path out of the area of space controlled by the enemy. The latest gambit has seen the combined might of all fleet jump further away from their recent battles, but as they dropped out of hyperspace in system X5963-C they were intercepted by a strong enemy force of FIVE Resurgent Class Star Destroyers and their escort of TEN Light Cruisers...
To your fighters pilots!

Faced with overwhelming odds, the forces of the TIE Corp have engineered a daring escape. By executing a quick jump into hyperspace which has taken them perpendicular to the galactic plane they have evaded the bulk of the First Order forces.
Their drop out point sees them facing off against a pair of RSD’s and 10 Light Cruisers as they seek to evade the FO…

Round Two saw the forces of the TIE Corps emerge victorious against the pitiful First Order vessels that we engaged. All three theaters of operations saw our brave pilots put the enemy to the sword, although we did yet again take damage to our fleet and whilst no vessels have yet been forced to withdraw from combat operations, we are not far from that eventuality.
This weekend sees us engage in yet another skirmish - our forces have come together in one large formation featuring all three Battlegroups as we do battle with a enemy asteroid research facility and SIX Light Cruisers that are protecting it.
Our missions can be found here: https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=8073&view=scores&round=3
The combat window opens at 00:01 Saturday UTC and like last weekend runs until 23:59 Sunday UTC.
Happy hunting!
