After a few more loops and dives, Black Leader, that was, Voxon Doom, made his way back into the proper formation of the fleet and gazed with renewed vision
over the panorama that was the Imperial attack fleet. They were poised to attack the planet, and take hold of the Abrega system while showing the Jedi that
the Empire would factor more in their lives, whether they wanted to live in their hermit holes on Naboo (and other places), or not. However, most of the
politics around the decision to attack meant little to Voxon Doom. He was a TIE pilot, and he would attack when ordered. It seemed like those orders would
be coming in soon, but in reality, he and the rest of Black Squadron had been escorting an immobile fleet, waiting for the precious orders and transmits of
hyperspace coordinates that would signal the operation was a 'go'.
As far as any plans was concerned, Voxon knew for a fact that close air support had worked well against the Sith on Mustafar, and as such, it was probably a
strategy that they would adopt against the Jedi on Ossus. The TIE Interceptors Voxon and the rest of Black Squadron favored were more suited for
starfighter-to-starfighter engagements, but that also meant that their laser cannons were very effective against standard infantry, which most Jedi could
arbitrarily represent; the fact that the TIE/In's cannons were generally too powerful for the standard lightsaber to handle helped a bit too. Voxon was
confident Black Squadron would bring the rain to Ossus. As the final thought mused him on his standard flightpath, he received a confirmation from Black
Ten, Cadet Rork, that he was at the ready.
An incoming comm bleep cut him off: they had orders. When the broadcast was done, Voxon nodded;
"You heard him, Black Squadron; arm all weapons at the ready, and prepare to shoot down all
non-friendlies in Ossus space and planetside. We'll be flying air superiority and close air support for this mission. When the fleet jumps into
hyperspace, fly into the gravity well of the nearest cap ship, we'll ride their hyperspace streams with them. If that makes you squeemish, well, get
docked. Above all you have one order." he emphasized;
"Do not die!"
