2671.239 Bridge of the Battlestar Pegasus: As soon as Beta group was moving toward their first target area, Commander Athena ordered full EMCOM on all ships. Then she ordered the launch of Mist flight. As the battle group was approaching the target area, they saw that the cylons were right where they thought they would be.

Athena called Boomer on the Cain, "Boomer, I want you to take the Tiger and come around to these coordinates. You've got fifteen minutes."

"Roger that Athena."

The Cain and the Tiger moved away from the rest of the group and took their assigned positions. Athena ordered the launch of their Vipers and Mambas. Once all ships were in position, she called Mist flight.

"Ok Lt, time to drop your surprise."

"Roger that Papa." the six Anubis fighters decloaked and fired their EMCOM missiles at the cylons. Then just as quickly recloaked and hit their turbos.

On the lead Base-star, the scanner centurion detected six unknown ships appear in the middle of the fleet of cylon ships. Then all hell broke loose on their scanners.

"Six unknown vessels have appeared and have blanketed the area with some form of jamming devices."

The command centurion relayed this to the IL commander, and the commander ordered a group wide alert.

"Launch all raiders, and move them to staggered positions around the group. They will be our scanners."

As the raiders were launching, the Beta group was moving ever closer.

"Alright, they took the bait. Viper and Mamba flights, hit the first two destroyers."

Lt Col Bojay looked at the targets, and then called to his people. "Silver Spar group will hit the left, Gold Spar group take the right. Lets do this right people."

The Viper and Mamba groups were above the destroyers, when they activated their full systems. The vipers dived down first, and where hitting any turret or raider they saw. The twelve mambas in each group were locking their torpedoes on the top central hub of the destroyers. As the group got lock on tone, they dived. As a group, they fired and peeled away from the destroyers. The assault from the vipers had momentarily drawn the attention of the cylon crews, and when twelve torpedoes struck their ships at the same time, the already weakened shields couldn't hold. Both destroyers went up in a flash of Solonite fueled fire that lit up the entire area.

As the fighters and Bombers were attacking the first two destroyers, the Pegasus and the Leopard was sighting on the third destroyer while the Gemon was sighting the fourth. When the first two destroyers were hit, the three ships opened fire with their M/AM cannons. Each of the destroyers was hit by six M/AM blasts that ripped through their shields as if they weren't there. Both of the destroyers soon met the same fate as their first two sister ships.

The commander of the central Base-star was unsure of what to do. These enemies had come from nowhere, and were destroying the ships of his group as if they were nothing. The commander then decided to have the other two base-stars and remaining destroyers attack the unknown ships. As he was sending the orders to the other ships in his group, the scanner centurion interrupted him.

"Sir, six Capital ship missiles inbound from our rear quarter."

Before the cylons could react, all six missiles hit the central base-star. The resulting explosion ripped the base-star in half, and sent huge chunks of debris into the four remaining ships. The debris actually ripped one of the other base-stars in half, and that set off it's own self-destruct device. Again the remaining ships were being hit by debris from their own ships.

Commander Athena watched as the battle was progressing. She activated the comm.,

"Good shot Boomer. Ok people let's finish this." within less than five minutes, the battle was over, and the cylons were reduced to pieces of floating junk.

Athena looked at her XO, "Land the ships and get damage control teams working. I want a full report in ten minutes."

"Yes Commander."

As soon as the ships were landed, the battle group set their course for their next target area. Athena sat in her command chair and looked at the damage report. All of it was minimal, and would be repaired by the time they reached the next target area. Athena allowed herself to smile for the first time today.

"I hope that all of our battles go this well," she silently prayed.
