OOC: Then I will let Jalua decide what to do, it's her shuttles.

The Coalition Shuttles descended from behind the Coalition Fleet, it's ships covering the back while allied Black Moon Starfighters leapt alongside them. They descended down to the temple with it's orders, ignoring the no-fly zone.

The shuttles began to enter what ships of the fleet they could. There was too many for them all to fit in, but some of the starfighter wings would remain outside of the fleet and go into hyperspace alongside it to provide extra room and protection. Much of the shuttles already had protection with them however, and with this, they could get into hyperspace and be a little safer once they emerged.
The fleet was heading away from the planet now, escaping it's gravity well. Small chunks which had the route planned correctly began to scatter into hyperspace, all headed to the same location but at varying speeds. Since it would take some ships and shuttles almost a day to reach their destination, those which would only take a few hours couldn't afford to remain behind, particularly after the massacre at Gyndine. The Empress was determined to get back eitherway, her public would be very concerned.

"Renegade Leader to Starfighter command, orders?" came over the comm from a TIE defender that was escorting a shuttle on an outboud route. "All starfighters, starfighter command. Remain with your shuttles, it seems they're going the same place that we've just been ordered to by Grand Admiral Zorko. You'll be recovered at Gydine." "Renegade leader copies, out."

"The Jedi are evacuating, sir."
The General looked at the shuttles, unsure of what was going on. They were Coalition fighters, so they were specifically given orders not to fire on them. Then he got the answer he was waiting for.
Commence assault.
"Do it."
The Jedi Temple was guarded by four heavy turrets, presumably automated. The Imperials couldn't detect much thermal energy coming from them. The AT-ATs took aim and fired.
Slowly, ominously, the MSAS gathered in front of the main door. They powered up their engines, and the shields went up. Two platoons of soldiers were kept inside, advancing in careful formation. They reached the doors, and the Temple defences came to life. High powered shots were directed at the Mobile Shields, but flew everywhere as they were deflected. Once in contact with the doors, a part of the shields went down, and the soldiers began drilling into the doors, setting large quantities of charges on the sides, and digging the eart from underneath the durasteel doors.
Once two of the MSAS were done drilling, two others came forth to install even more explosives. The same operation was repeated several times, until the doors were massed with explosives.
To be continued...
