ESB Asteroid Chase Force Sub

Post by Renewed_Valour1 »

The Millennium Falcon is still suffering from her broken hyperdrive; however the ISDs aren't present chasing the Falcon. Instead the GHCs Andromeda and Twelve Centuries are pursuing the Falcon through the field. Both GHCs are fully manned while all systems on the
Falcon except the hyperdrive are somehow by an act of divine intervention operating at peak efficiency. Can Solo spoof the two heavy cruisers or is it too much of a mismatch in this case for Solo?

Depends, I'm thinking the GHC are to busy salvoing missles to the Surrounding Astroides to do much besides send a few his way and the Centirouians would loose thier speed Advantage

The Hoth Astroid Belt is a tricky one considering the Density of it(MUCH higher than our own, by a few tens of the mangitudes)

Chances are the Falcon would be able to run out of their effective sensor range. Both cruisers are going to need to blast a lot of debris out of the way and would quickly fall behind.

I doubt they'd bother to devote the ELS tubes to picking off asteroids. The AP cannons are far more powerful and better suited for taking out asteroids that are a threat in this case. The rest of them could probably be swept away by the AG fields as long as you don't attempt to plow into any of the larger ones at full speed.

Do you mean the Centaur fighters? They would probably lose much of their speed advantage but they still have the MF outmatched in that arena.
