A huge Resistance cruiser vessel called the Raddus, which is named after the Mon Calamari Admiral Raddus, himself, ascends from the planet, accompanied by an escort of smaller spacecraft.

On the planet's surface, Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix and her tall colleague Jones oversee the frantic evacuation of the rebel base.

Jones: We're not clear yet! There's still 30 pallets of cannon shells in C bunker.

Kaydel Ko Connix: Forget the ammunition, there's no time. Just get everyone on the transport. (hears a distant boom) Oh, no.

Connix and Jones look up and see two Resurgent-class Star Destroyers appear in the cloudy blue sky, quickly joined by the Star Destroyer Finalizer.

-------------------------------------------------------

On board the bridge of the Finalizer, Captain Edrison Peavey watches the Raddus in the distance, then turns to General Armitage Hux.

Peavey: We've caught them in the middle of their evacuation.

General Hux: I have my orders from Supreme Leader Snoke himself. This is where we snuff-out the resistance once and for all. Tell Captain Canady to prime his dreadnaught. Incinerate their base, destroy their transports and obliterate their fleet.

-------------------------------------------------------

The enormous Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnaught known as the Fulminatrix, lead by Captain Moden Canady, pops from hyperspace and into the foreground from the far reaches of space. Two massive cannons slung beneath the ship's belly begin to lower and take aim.

In the destroyer's bridge pit, a beautiful yet stern Monitor eyes a red X shape on her radar screen, her surroundings lit red for ideal visibility during battlefield conditions.

Monitor: General, Resistance ship approaching. Launching shields in attack mode.

General Hux: (incredulous) A single light fighter?

-------------------------------------------------------

The X-Wing ship faces off with the Fulminatrix. The tiny droid BB-8 occupies the tailseat with Commander Poe Dameron up front.

Poe: Happy beeps here, buddy, come on.

-------------------------------------------------------

General Leia Organa Monitors him from the control room.

Poe: (over intercom) We've pulled crazier stunts than this.

Leia: Just for the record, Commander Dameron, I'm with the droid on this one.

Poe: (over intercom) Thank you for your support, General.

Y/N: I'm with you Poe. You can do this.

Poe: (Over intercom) That's more like it. I appreciate it, General.

-------------------------------------------------------

Poe: Happy beeps. Attention! (flicks a switch) This is Commander Poe Dameron of the Republic fleet, I have an urgent communique for General Hux.

-------------------------------------------------------

Lank Paze: Patch him through.

General Hux: This is General Hux of the First Order. The Republic is no more. Your fleet are rebel scum and war criminals. Tell your precious princess there will be no terms... there will be no surrender.

Poe: (over intercom) Hi, I'm holding for General Hugs.

General Hux: This is Hux. You and your friends are doomed! We will wipe your filth from the galaxy.
