The Trattorian cruisers and what’s left of the frigate fire on the Akkadian destroyer Baal.
One down!
The fighters pitch in and see if they can make a win streak.
Two down as the Gilgamesh bites the dust!
The proud battleship decides it should put itself to good use before it gets blown up, and hopes to maintain Trattoria’s win streak.
And with the fall of the Ishtar, three down with the Akkadian fleet getting ass-snuggled by the Trattorians.
Also, there is so much junk floating there I’m going to rule it an impossible debris field.
The Trattorians then deploy two more squads of fighters.
Praetorians
The two Praetorian battleships spread out and bear down on the damaged Bavarian ship.
The Bavarian ship, despite being of good German engineering, finally falls.
Everyone else moves up and the fighters target the RIN gunboats.
Three gunboats are eliminated and one is severely damaged.
Meanwhile, the frigates focus on an RIN destroyer and blow it to the heavens.
Finally the mega-carrier Space Oddity decides to actually do something and lights up the dark vacuum of space with its heavy turrets.
Another RIN space station is asploded, but fortunately for them/unfortunately for us all the fighters emergency launched and escaped the explosion.
The RIN fighters stand ready to engage the incoming barbarians.
Six Avalonian frigates enter the battlefield to help the Third Alliance in its hour of need.Secret Faction C Unlocked: Avalonians
Bavaria
A Bavarian capitol ship fires its laser at an asteroid. What would be the point of such a waste of ammo?
The asteroid breaks its laser-tether and begins moving in the direction of the Trattorian fleet. It will move two inches per turn until otherwise acted upon.
The entire Bavarian fleet then orients itself in the same direction, at the Praetorian battleship V. Every weapon but one in the fleet is fired.
TWO-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-EIGHT DAMAGE MAKES ME HATE MATHEMATICS.
Akkadians
The gunboats seek out any intact marine drop pods from the wreckage field.
They find two and deploy two fighters to bring the boys back home.
Of course the gunboats continue pounding the Trattorians during this and manage to bring the destroyer to a small withered husk of itself, waiting to be wiped out on the next shot.
RIN
All RIN ships ready their weapons at the Trattorian fleet.
Destroyer destroyed.
SHIT SHIT SHIT goes the Trattorians.
The RIN fighters move out and prepare to dogfight.
Three less fighters for the Trattorians.
Also, the RIN orders the Akkadians to disarm the bombs on the asteroid.
Scythians
Captain Conor Kole: Jeez, I have a lot of messages today.
MESSAGES:
Captain Kole: Okay, Our Scythian feces agree for that pact. furthermore, we can help you with defense your outpost. But there's no free lunch - you must give me double amount of RT.IVhorseman wrote:"At the press of a button, Akkadian command will vaporize another asteroid of your precious Red Transparent Ore. If we can hold this field from attack, your ore will be mined and delivered to you without further incident. However refusal to cooperate in our alliance will result in the bombing of your ship's bridge, as well as the loss of this entire valuable mining field. Comply Immediately or suffer the consequences."
Captain Kole: Excellent, as stated before we will begin firing on the attackers starting next turn.Robot Monkey wrote:"We'll get your RT back when this battle is over! Calm yourselves and shoot those trattorian barbarians!"
