Chapter 13-Heavy Attack
The fleet continued to race towards vulcan at high speeds, with the allied fleet moving in on all directions to engage them. with dozens of ships engaging in a running battle, the frigates in particular, who were the only ones who seemed to fire back. Blue bursts of light cut into a Vulcan crusier, leaving it crippled, not before it unleashed a barrage of torpedoes on the attacking frigate, opening its shields, before smashing into its hull.
A wing of andorian destroyers, turned and fired particle beams, futilely into the super-mothership, 3 frigates turned to engage the destroyers, unleashing energy blasts against the seemlessly weak shields. Two were cut down in the onslaught, one of which was outright overkill, but that was when Warspite jumped back in.
The small MTB would seem not a threat to any ship, especially one nearly 6 times its size, but not when it had a full stockload of naquadah enhanced sparrow torpedoes aimed directly at said ship. The fury unleashed was devestating, when the 4 torpedoes slammed into the shields, it was only increased once the twin gauss cannons unleashed mutliple rounds in the opening. The remaining two stopped their chase, and turned to engage the lone MTB, with a small micro jump being made...
Right into the Endeavours Gauss rounds.
Aschen Flagship
Molum had had enough of the slaughter that was happening, he knew the taur'ri could potentially destroy aschen ships, but not to this extent! It was time to stop this farce and unleash the heavy guns.
"All Crusiers, fire at will."
Eridani V
Passing by the local gas giant, the allied fleet, which was slowly moving in on the motherships, soon were devestated by their lack of caution. A seemingly wave of energy was fired by the dozen motherships, including the giant they were protecting. Hundreds of bolts ripped apart the allied fleet, those lucky enough to avoid the fire immediately began evasive manuevers. Unfortantely, the green crew of the dawn of honour, weren't fast enough. Several motherships singled it out, firing full weapons upon the giant ship, pulses cut through the sheilds and melted the armour, and sliced through the internal sections. It was not an explosive effect, the ship merely died while being quickly gutted. This only forced the allies to fight with increased vigor, micro jumps appeared all around the aschen fleet, as dozens, if not hundreds of vulcan, andorian and Tau'ri craft reengaged with full force.
Vulcan Cruiser
After jumping, the crew immediately opened fire apon one of the many motherships that began seeking out tau'ri ships, multiple disruptor beams impacted into the sheild, barely even grazing it. It was then the order was given by the captain, "Fire Photon Torpedoes." Several orange orbs spat out, hitting their intended target, but it was one less then intended.
"Whats happening?" the captain asked calmly despite the situation.
"Unknown, one of the torpedoes failed to launch and is lodged in its tube." reported the weapons officer, with equal clarity. The sudden beeping caught everyones attention, when the weapons officer quickly looked up from her station, the look on her face was proof enough that something was wrong. "the containment is failing."
Dispite the lack of emotion showing on any vulcans face, their control over it was completely lost with those words, but before they could react, it was over.
Eridani Asteroid Field
The cruiser exploded, spectacuarly at that, the amplifed anti-matter explosion rippled through space throwing dozen of allied and aschen vessels away from its wake. The allies halted, at such destruction on both sides, but the aschen simply continued on, it was do or die, and those left behind were expendable.
