  I present a numerical study of the crossover between the low temperature
chirally broken phase and the high temperature chirally restored phase in
$SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_c=3-5$ colors and $N_f=2$ degenerate fermion
flavors. Fermion masses span a range of intermediate values (represented by the
squared ratio of pseudoscalar to vector meson masses $(m_{PS}/m_V)^2\sim 0.25$
to 0.63). Observables include the temperature dependent chiral condensate and
screening masses. At each fermion mass these quantities show nearly identical
temperature dependence across $N_c$.
