"'Biggest fighter action since Endor' is what I'm afraid of... we don't have the numbers the Endor fleet had, even with reinforcements. If all of our squadrons were as skilled as the two of us are, or if the Lucrehulk is filled with nothing but Y-Wings, we'd have a chance. With rookie pilots and standard TIEs filling out our ranks, though, we can take either the Lucrehulk's fighters or the rest of the fleet. With three or four more ships of the line there, as well as Strike cruisers, we can't afford to trade evenly."

She enters a query for a list of destroyed Lucrehulks and cause of destruction, then grabs her datapad and opens up another line of thought. "Either way, we'll need to drill on counter-swarm tactics." She sketches out preliminary battle lines on the pad. "Worst-case scenario, we'll be facing over a thousand X- and A-wing fighters, likely three MC80s alongside the Lucrehulk, and then the Strikes and support ships. The fighter groups should fire proximity spreads until we close to dogfighting range. I've also seen a Rebel maneuver they apparently call a 'Darklighter spin' where they open up with all their weapons during a roll to scatter their shots against multiple close targets. The Interceptors at least should be able to mimic the maneuver."
