They search supply containers on the way, and find the explosives they need. Imperial troops are near the entrance waiting for extraction but are eliminated by Iden and Shriv on their way inside. Iden assumes there will be remote detonators available somewhere in the wreckage. Iden and Shriv land their fighters nearby and make a run for the hangar, hoping to shut it down. A nearby downed Imperial Star Destroyer is launching bombers. They eliminate immediate threats in the area.
The pilots regain control and with Del's help, locate two nearby distress beacons. As they do, the ship takes a hard hit and the X-Wings are ejected out of the hangar. Iden and Shriv get in their fighters, leaving Del to protect the ship. There are too many distress calls to count. When they arrive, the battle is in full swing. The Imperial fleet has taken heavy losses since The Battle of Endor, but has a dogged persistence when it comes to survival.
Iden Versio commands her team to get in and help. The entire Imperial fleet is there - minus the weapons lost at the factory. The recent destruction of the Imperial factory on Sullust had a bigger impact than originally assumed and Admiral Ackbar is calling all Republic ships to Jakku. It has been one year and four days since the Battle of Endor.
