I mean it pretty much is done, unless there are any suggestions.

Not that I'm asking you to change anything, I can still work with one corvette down and a damaged Incursor.

I'm not that close, ~10 000km is still a good planetary radius away from your fleet, it's just within effective firing range for the Paramount because she has beefy sensors and a high volume of fire. The gap itself is only closing, and it'll be another post yet before I actually get close enough to give your fleet a proper mauling. It's worth noting that Allegiances like the Paramount are pretty fast, they're a match for ISDs and those have been shown on-screen to reel in the Falcon relatively easily. My fighters are still faster than my capital ships, which is why I'm sending them around rather than simply sending them straight in.
Overall, my two heavy units aren't any slower than your ISDs, but no faster either, and I'm slowed down by my Venator and Gladiators. Not sure about what your Incursors can pull, but probably a similar ballpark to those, so I'd only be able to match range with my heavy ships if you started running for deep space.

Ok. I’d think the Incursors are faster than Destroyers since they were designed for hit and run attacks, and were shown in the one video they appeared keeping up with a Pelta-class frigate?

Peltas are also difficult to ballpark against things like ISDs, since we never see a straight line chase between an ISD and a Pelta in the same fashion as we do between ISDs and things like the Millennium Falcon or Tantive IV, so that's not much help to us. At a guess, Incursors are probably of a similar speed to the ISD, since that's pretty much the upper end of what line capital ships can pull before the requirements on the frame force major tradeoffs on durability and output. The Incursor is, after all, a patrol ship first and foremost. Much faster and you're starting to give fighters a run for their money, which I reckon should be the purview of dedicated pursuit vessels.
Tl;dr I won't be able to reel you in if you start running, but you won't be able to open the range either. Probably best for you to run for it now so that you minimise damage before the New Republic arrives
Also, as a quick word of warning, your forces are too small to try match the Paramount, so if it brings you to close range it'll eat your ISDs alive. Be very careful of trying to commit to any sort of fight at the moment, slowing down is putting the TC in a hell of a lot of danger, and I know you'd rather that they didn't get wiped out this early on

I can't say I didn't see this coming, but I didn't see it coming from a mile away either. I'm already working on a "Departing Bespin" post. From what I can see, this will end up like the opening of Episode 8, but in reverse, with the Imperial Remnants fleeing the NR.

Maybe that might stop my fleet from escaping, but I think we can work out the battle via Telegram, if my fleet doesn't flee first. Also, quick question: how long is an hour in number of posts?

Okay, so if I timejump an hour or two ahead in my next post (from the time Thrymn's demands were made), no big deal?

My rough plan is:
TC forces return home, then turn for Bespin.
PA forces breath a collective sigh of relief, then organize what’s left and will probably stick around and try to sneak off when the NR finally shows up.

Okay, will this consist of an attack on my fleet? If so, could this post be a co-op where we possibly work on it VIA Telegram? I just want to know OOC so I am not caught off guard. And also, how many credits worth of tibanna do you think I could've nabbed from the NR troops on Bespin and the Imperial Garrison on Cloud City?

Okay. Thanks, but can you please clarify what you mean by '...but I’m going to attack your vanguard after the main fleet leaves...' ? I'm having my fleet leave Bespin entirely. Victory-1, Quasar, space station, everything.
