Battle of Cardooine

The Battle of Cardooine was a significant battle in the third quint of the New Clone Wars. It was a victory of one capitol ship and 80 or so fighters against decidedly superior numbers.

Phase 1: Establishing a planetary foothold
Anakin Skywalker, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Amy Rose flew an extra trio of Viper Mark IIs (loaded aboard the Columbia for this very purpose) to the planet to slip past its fighter screen and clear a landing zone near an Old Republic garrison base abandoned after the Clone Wars. The planet's screen of droid fighters was thickest at the sensor blind spot where Anakin and the two hedgehogs needed to land. One pilot would have to bait the swarm away from the planet to let the other two slip by. Amy volunteered to be the decoy. She led almost the entire swarm of droid and droid-piloted starfighters away towards a nearby asteroid. Amy flew into a cave in the asteroid, gaining a lead via her Viper's speed capabilities. Then she took full advantage of the Viper Mark II's ability to perform a rapid about-face even in a confined area, and opened up with all she had. Most of the enemy fighters were ripped to pieces by her cannons, and the remaining ones accidentally destroyed themselves in the confusion. Sonic and Anakin, meanwhile, had easily blown past the handful of fighters left behind to guard the planet unnoticed. Amy rejoined them, and they cleared the area around the abandoned Old Republic base of all U.E.V. units before touching down.
