ahsoka tactic

"It's a battle tactic invented by his former Padawan apprentice. A warship turns its hangar bay away from its attacker and launches its fighters unseen. They stay in the ship's visual shadow while they form up and accelerate to attack speed. Then they come around their ship from all sides, attacking the enemy from every direction at once."
"Interesting," Thrawn murmured. "I can see how that could be useful against certain species. Those in particular who have difficulty focusing in more than one direction."
"It worked pretty well against the droid fighters Ahsoka was up against at the time, too," Padmé said.
