A'baht: "We must neutralize this force without compromising our unit integrity or mobility. Pass the word as follows: Hold back the bombers. Keep the patrol screens close, and launch the A-wing interceptors only in response to direct threat from other little birds. Our operational unit for this engagement is to be the fleet squadron, and squadron commanders now have operational autonomy. All units, pursue, engage, and destroy all targets of opportunity. Since they insist on a fight, we'll give 'em one."
Corgan: "What about the hostages, sir?"
A'baht: "Pray for them, Colonel. That's all we can do."
