Normal speech: "Hello there..."

Loud speech: "WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS"

Angy spech: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE, YOU DAMN CON?"

Internal comms: {"You ever wonder why we're here?"} {"No, because I know that you're here for war crimes and I'm just along for the ride"}

Direct comms: {> Hello <}

External comms, long range: <<Strider 1, Fox 2>>

Whispering, quietly complaining, grumbling: "grumble, grumble, grumbldy grumble"

Thoughts: 'So if one smol boi in yellow ship added to a trade federation donut ship and a shit load of battle droids is equal to one smol boi in a yellow ship, not donut ship, and no battle droids, what the fuck were the rest of the pilots doing? Also, what the hell did Naboo do with those droids?'

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

What do you mean the orders changed?

Yeah, since when were we supposed to be advisors for the field test?

...

The fuck you mean we don't have the clearance?

...

I am calm

...

Yes sir

-----

Location: Space, aboard the stealth ship

Yularen: General Skywalker, I can't help but feel like we're forgetting something.

Anakin: If you forgot, it must not be important.

Yularen: You're probably correct general.

Clone 1: Should we tell them?

Clone 2: Nah, they'll probably figure it out later.

Clone 1: Fair, still can't believe that they left the two advisor people behind.

Clone 2: Yeah, you see them run into the hangar as we were taking off?

-----

Location: Venator Hangar

Activity can be seen all round the hangar as a klaxon is heard in the background. Maintenance crews are doing final checks on engines of war. Flight crews are making sure ships are fueled. Pilots are running their preflight checks, and clones are boarding their gunships. While all this is happening, the two CSTs on board are running their last checks, with part of their new orders being to ensure the survival of the Republic force.

Scav: I still can't believe that we had to be advisors on the stealth ship due to our statuses after we already got our stuff together. Or that the stealth ship had already left by the time we got there. 

Scav is currently making sure that everything is properly locked down, with the flight suit they normally pilot in being replaced with a suit of armor similar to that of a clone, with some of the main differences being the mounting points and and pouches on the armor, in addition to pieces of scrap being bolted on.

While this is going on, Linn is in the process of finishing up the preflight checks.

Linn: At least command didn't tell us to single handedly take down the blockade.

Scav: That's . . . that's fair. Nyx, any thing else we should know?

Nyx: {Nothing other than flight privileges being taken after planet fall. That and not to use any thing that could potentially bring down a whole city.}

Scav: Aww. . . I guess that means I need to lock a couple of things back up.

-----<LOADING>-----

Location: Space

<< Stargazer, what's your status, over? >>

<< This is Rathian of The Stargazer, preparing to enter atmosphere. >>

<< Copy that Stargazer, you are clear to engage. Remember, we need you to keep the transports alive. >>

<< Transports, alive, got it. Stargazer out. Fangs out, transponder switching. >>

-----

{ Hey Linn, you remember the new set of guns I told you about? }

{ Yeah, you want me to switch to them? }

{ Bingo. Nyx, start entry field test 1 under atmospheric weapons. }

{ Recording started. Give 'em hell. }

-----

The Stargazer, now flying as Draconic Royalty, then accelerates into the atmosphere, with the ship's shielding being adequate for preventing the ship from burning up upon entry. The ship then started to slow its descent at about 50,000 feet, before leveling out at about 30,000 feet, with the deceleration being gradual enough to prevent the death of the pilots. 

The shields are then deactivated, which might seem like a strategic disadvantage, which it partially is, but the loss of shielding is made as a trade off. 

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

Many ships are reliant on anti gravity and shields in order to fly, due to the shapes of their hulls and wings. 

-----

A/N: Look up the aerodynamics of an x-wing and you'll see what I mean. Still better than a tie fighter, because that has the aerodynamics of a brick

-----

However, there are designs from somewhere in the unknown regions that incorporate something deemed to be unnecessary, backwards, and even foolish by shipwrights across the known regions, with the minds of corporations like Kuat and the minds of teams on Corellia even going as far to laugh and use those designs as examples of what not to do.

These designs include giving ships stronger engines and thicker physical armor, in addition to using shapes in the design that prevent the placement of most weapon systems on the wings. The design of these wings also include giving the wings sweep, in order to give them superior aerodynamics. 

These choices in design, in addition to the automatic dropping of shields upon deceleration after entering atmosphere, are a major part of why so many shipwrights find the designs to be backwards.

They just stopped laughing when these ships dropped their shields and canceled almost all of their antigrav and showed them what happens when the power from the shields and antigrav go to the engines is mixed with aerodynamics.

The product is superior performance in atmosphere, which is something that many shipwrights only have minor understanding of.

And supermaneuvrability? Not even Kuat's Aethersprite can do that properly. Sure, the shape is aerodynamic, but it's still missing some things.  

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

The ship then starts cruising towards the planned LZ, in order to gain readings on where the Separatist anti air batteries are.

Once the locations are determined through a very delicate method called flying through flak and letting Nyx get a lock on where the shots are coming from, the strikes start. The most dangerous parts of a gun run with the current main gun is moving too fast and hitting the bullets. To account for this, the ship drops to a speed that is relatively slower, goes, bbrrrrttt over the target area, and then speeds of.

-----

{ Does the Republic have any rules about kinetics? }

{ I don't think so, why? }

-----

<< Why aren't you shooting that ship down? >>

<< It's too fast for our programing. >>

<< Ugh. Fine, launch fighters. >>

-----

A small group of vulture droids is then scrambled to try and deal with the ship. A flight of three droids goes to distract the ship, with the droids flying in from in from of and above the ship, while the remaining four attempt to come in from behind. The two droids flying in from in front of the ship get ripped into by the main guns, with their shields doing nothing to stop the pieces of metal flying towards them, with the two then crashing into the ground as the droid coming in from above and those coming in from behind open fire on the craft. The craft gains some damage from the shots, and the rear ailerons become inoperable, leaving the ship with just the canards.

-----

{ Lost the rear ailerons. }

{ Those didn't even matter }

{ WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DON'T MATTER?!?! }

{ What? We've got better steering now. I was meaning to get rid of those anyway. }

-----

The pilot of the ship then drops the ailerons, hitting one of the droids in the process. The droid, in an attempt to avoid the ailerons, swerved, unintentionally straying into another's path, causing the one to crash in to the other, causing both to explode. The ship's tail gun then lights up the one that had approached from above, leaving two left. The droids that are left then both get out of the tail gun's line of fire and continue shooting the ship, with one going high above and the other tailing above the gun's line of fire. The pilot of the ship then pulls it into a Kulbit, allowing the tail gun to pick off one droid while the main guns tear through the other.

-----

{ Whoo! *thunk* Ow, kriff! }

{ You good back there? }

{ No, I just punched the fucking ceiling. }

{ Just don't break it, alright? }

{ Yeah, yeah, my hand's fine. }

{ I know your hand's fine, you have your gloves on. I'm trying to get you to not dent the instruments. }

-----

{> Are you sure that was the best course of action? <}

{> It's fine Nyx <}

-----

<< Landing force, this is Draconic Royalty, LZ's clear. >>

<< Copy that Royalty, we'll see you on the ground. >>

-----

Linn and Scav then go to the ship's cabin and grab the rest of their equipment. Scav finishes bolting the rest of the scrap metal onto their armor, grabs their pouches and bandoliers of stuff, puts on their backpack, and switches from one helmet to another. On the other hand, Linn just finishes putting on the outer part of her armor, grabs her bow, blaster, and daggers, a parachute, jet pack, and the mask from Scav.

Scav: Linn, you ready for drop?

Linn: Yep, let's do this

Scav: Nyx, you're in charge of the ship. Make sure it gets to where ever they've set up base

Nyx: { Copy that. Have fun you two. }

The lights in the cabin then turn red as the two make their way to the rear of the ship. The back of the ship opens, revealing the crystalline surface of the planet. The light then turns green and the two take running leaps out into the open air.

-----

A/N: So to explain and clarify on what the section about aerodynamics was about, I'm just going to explain here. If you're still confused about my interpretation/understanding of how these things work, feel free to ask if you want any additional clarification.

So a lot of ships in the Star Wars universe don't work with aerodynamics. The explanation as to why they can still fly comes in the form of shields and gravity generators. However, as seen in the Clone Wars TV show, if a ship cuts its engines or looses power to its engines, it looses all of its forward momentum, which makes sense because it has air resistance acting on it, as well as the artificial gravity also helping to rapidly decelerate the ship.

It's also shown in Star Wars that the combination of shields and gravity generators help to keep a lot of ships to stay in the air, when you look at how ships like Mando's N1 can take off and go completely vertical, with out making Mando turn into meat paste in a beskar bucket. This also helps to explain how it lost momentum immediately, and how he didn't die on the way back down.

Because post stall maneuvers require there to still be momentum for execution, a ship that looses all momentum immediately won't be able to preform those things.

How ever, some things, like what Mando does with the Razor Crest and the N1 with going straight up and then flipping and going straight down is something that could actually be done, if you aren't moving too fast, because of gravity generators. The gravity generators prevent Mando from passing out due too the number of G's he would be pulling, which is one of four places where I see artificial gravity being useful. The others are all in space, where that artificial gravity helps prevent deterioration of things like muscles and bones in zero G, the artificial gravity reduces the need for extra training and makes space more accessible for people in general, and it could be used to potentially pull of post stall maneuvers in space by providing some a bit of resistance.

An example of a ship that actually gives a partial fuck about physics is the Havoc Marauder, also known as the ship used by the Bad Batch. Aerodynamics is taken into account, to an extent, with the nose of the ship being pointed, but not overly pointy and passengers experience some G-force.

It also has a key feature of aircraft with forward swept wings, which is the instability that the wings give the craft. This instability makes the ship more maneuverable, at the cost of needing computer assistance in order for a human pilot to fly it.
