Recon on Corrupter Task Force

This Recon Mission was to find out what was the strength of the Imperial Task Force assigned to locate the Defiance and her Task Force.

Background
Following the attack on the convoy the Imperials focused more on protecting their convoys and remote units rather then thier search efforts on the Rebels. Admiral Nammo needed some hard data on the search efforts, therefore a recon mission was needed. He also knew that they may seed the sector with probe droids. After what happened at Hoth he knew how effective those units can be. So he ordered Blue Squadron to destroy all probe droids launched.

The Mission
The Two A-wings were launced to search three likely areas where the Imperials were located, the first two came up empty but the third one had the Imperial task force's location. Ace inspected the starships while Blue leader gave cover. After inspecting the task force. The Corrupter launched probe droids. Not wanting to suffer the same consequences at Hoth, Ace Azzameen was ordered to destroy all the probe droids. Despite being under constant fire from the Corrupter and enemy fighters he managed to destroy all three groups. Then both fighters withdrew from the combat zone.

Aftermath
The recon mission was a success. With the destruction of the probe droids it would seem that the Imperials would be hard pressed to search the systems and they believed that by the time they resupplied the Rebel fleet would have escaped. However they also learnt that the task force was personally lead by Garreth Holtz who is a competant officer. This meant that there was still much to do.
