the Night Watch

The bridge was hit, with kaleidoscopic results. A rapid chain reaction got setoff, from power station to power station along the middle third of the huge Destroyer,producing a dazzling rainbow of explosions that buckled the ship at right angles, andstarted it spinning like a pinwheel toward the Death Star. The first bridge explosion took Greed Leader with it; the subsequentuncontrolled joyride snagged ten more fighters, two cruisers, and an ordnance vessel.By the time the whole exothermic conglomerate finally crashed into the side of theDeath Star, the impact was momentous enough to actually jolt the battle station,setting off internal explosions and thunderings all through its network of reactors,munitions, and halls. For the first time, the Death Star rocked. The collision with the explodingDestroyer was only the beginning, leading to various systems breakdowns, which ledto reactor meltdowns, which led to personnel panic, abandonment of posts, furthermalfunctions, and general chaos.
