Ackbar Slash

The Ackbar Slash was a tactical manoeuvre devised by Admiral Ackbar. It involved a side's ships forcing their way into the middle of an enemy formation. The desired result was that, with enemy gunners running a high risk of shooting their own forces, they would be hesitant to fire. The other side would have no such risk, and be able to cause higher damage to their enemy. There have been instances whereby starfighters have used the same tactic when outnumbered.
