Author's Note: Due to an unrelenting majority for the vote, I am skipping the filler and going straight to the final battle.
Also, Kaejot, you STILL haven't elaborated on the aliens you submitted beyond " A insect race that is incredibly goood at building things"[sic]

There were 1,000 Battle-spheres in-system, along with 8,000 Mk.4 cruisers and 50 Cycle-breakers when a full 1.8 million Reapers arrived via FTL. The Reapers had pre-primed their Annihilasers as they jumped in, and fired on 1 out of every 3 Arks, allocating their shots evenly. This was successful in destroying the targeted Arks, with the rest beginning their burn for FTL significantly early, and leaving several passenger transports behind each. Then the Reapers fired SATs, 800 of them. This was sufficient to destroy 260 Battle-spheres, but then the cruisers all fired Trump Cards. 8,000*500=4,000,000 meaning that all the Reapers in-system were utterly destroyed. Then another 120,000 Reapers came out of FTL, and all focused their fire on a single Ark, which was utterly destroyed. Then the new FTL sensors fitted to the remaining spheres detected incoming SATs, 15,000 of them, headed straight towards the Arks.
The people flying the Battle-spheres took 1 look at this, and decided they'd rather NOT have those Arks die, thank you very much, and flew their spheres between the SATs and the Arks. This lead to the destruction of 300 Battle-spheres, with the rest (and the cruisers and Cycle-breakers) opening up with their Annihilasers. All the cruiser-level Annihilasers involved had been replaced with the Gatling Annihilaser variant from the Mk.4 cruiser, and the Cycle-Breakers could each fire 1 spinal Annihilaser shot once every 1.66666 seconds.
This meant that in the 10 seconds it would take the Reapers to re-prime their Annihilasers, 80,300 of them died. Those remaining Reapers that attempted to flee to FTL were picked off 1 at a time, thanks to the Don't Stop Me Ever's FTL sensor, relay gun, and upgraded FTL drive.
Then the last 39 Arks finally broke the light barrier, beginning their 150 year journey to the Triangulum galaxy.
