The Starfighter Trap
Steve Miller
The Starfighter Trap
Cover Artist: Martin French
Queen Amidala is away from the planet, which makes it a quiet time for the Naboo Security Forces. Essara Till, a member of Bravo Flight, is catching up on some paperwork when Sio Bibble calls an emergency. Space Station TFP-9 sent out a distress call, so a squadron of Police Cruisers designated Echo Flight, with the assistance of two N-1's from Bravo Flight, is sent out to provide cover for them. When the Security Forces arrive they spend some time fighting Z-95 Headhunters until another carrier arrives and launches droid starfighters. At this point, one of the N-1's, piloted by Essara Till's sweetheart Dren Melne, turns traitor and begins attacking the Police Cruisers. He explains that the person he's working for wants N-1's and Police Cruisers to bolster his fighting forces and will kill to get them. Essara and the remaining Echo Flight pilots pull some fancy flying and destroy one of the carriers and begin chasing down Dren. The other carrier sees what's happening and shoots down Dren rather than have him caught and expose their secrets. Afterwards, while Essara is informing the pilots families of their loss, she comes to the understanding that Dren was reviled and treated like garbage when he came home from being a mercenary, which may have contributed to his frame of mind when he betrayed his home.
