The Mandalorian picked up speed, forcing Rails to pour it on to maintain the pursuit. In the straightaway, nothing the fang could do would overtake her. The problem was...

"Krasst, I've overshot!"

The fang pinwheeled into a sharp turn, its wings snapping sharply around its fuselage as Railla blasted past at full burn. But just when she overtook, her targeting computer chirped a lock. Railla gritted her teeth, diving into another koiogran turn until she caught a glimpse of white thrusters. A homing missile hissed out of her ordnance pod, knifing the space between them. The fang tried to juke the lock, lost too much ground, and got clipped. The ship lurched to the port - possibly due to stabilizer damage before Railla speared it with fatal cannon fire. She rocketed through the fireball in time to catch a glimpse of Bette passing the other way.

"Splash one, Shadow Leader! Matching vector and falling in."

No one could see the smile on her face, and that suited Railla just fine.
