The void between the two sides lit up with massive ordnance as the anti asteroid guns opened fire, sizable shells and energy blasts flew at the approaching forces. Though the guns were slow firing their payloads were more than enough to destroy the small cruisers and escorts approaching the base. a Union Dart class was hit by one of the larger guns, the shields of the small ship instantly gave way and collapsed, the shell then detonated blasting the ship into large fragments.
Hargun watched the assault and prayer for this to work, the Avenger herself had dodged a atomic shell which had veered of course towards them and he was now overseeing the assault from the holo table. Bright green and blue icons represented the allies forces while red icons outlined the bases defenses "Tell Cicada to begin its assault! we cant wait for those guns to tear us apart!
The first wave was now nearing the base, the Cicada, a Skia warstar class lept into action, it darted at the heaviest concentration of turrets easily avoiding the return fire, those hits that did get lucky merely phased through the Cicadas non exsistant form, flying in low and close the point defenses activated just in time to receive the Cicadas assault, four Shadow beams and a distortion cannon swept the largest concentration of guns and in moments they were either burning or destroyed, the Cicadas powerful weapons making easy pickings of the material matter it was arrayed against. Exploiting the gap both Union Razor class escorts and Scythe class escorts along with Tenebrae autonomous fighters moved in to secure a close in foot hold and to disable any remains after the Cicadas assault.
"Ok the way has been partially cleared, its up to you now second wave, we need to break the remaining defenses so we can board safely." Hargun said into the coms.
"Planetary Cruiser Talio Responding, We are in the fields. second wave in is position. We are following through now." came the respons of a Tenebrean ship over the Comms of both of the command ships, as the second wave followed in the first's Wake. dodging and weaving among the Debris and Dead ships that made up the Fields. While the guns of the Facility continued their automated barrage on them. A Planetery Cruiser Moving in the second formation was Struck by a Shell in the Area of its Portside engine, the shell Tearing through its shields and hull before detonating within its Engine housing, Blowing the vessel nearly in half. sending the debris of its hull and Starboard wing sections crashing into the Planetary Cruiser Traveling behind it. it's crew barely having time to respond before the two vessels Collided, Shearing the Wing of the second ship off and sending the ship into a Death spin. Plowing into the dead Hulk of a Leviathan ship that Drifted nearby.
Ryans Watched the Events unfold before him from the command bridge of the Carrier. the Holo Projection table in it's center Displaying the second wave moving in to follow the First in their sweep over the hulls of the massive vortex ships.
"This is commander Ryans" he Spoke over the comm's "Take out the guns nearest the Airlocks and Docking bays. We need to get our men in there to take out the defenses. and Keep clear of the Black hole housing chambers near the Stern of the ships, don't want to get pulled into those."
the Ships of the second wave moved in on the Facility. The Tenebrean ship moving in behind the union fighters, The Planetary cruisers returning fire on the Anti Asteroid Guns with their Versus Coil Gun turrets. Damaging or taking them out along the hull where they were mounted, While Medium light military cruisers Deployed the smaller Bomber gunships mounted in their holds. which Swept low over the hull of the massive Vessels. Taking advantage of the Defensive systems Drawn attention and inflicted damage to Drop their Various bomb loads and missiles on the Guns. Mixed Plasma and Versus based Shatter and Pulse Bombs Going off at their bases or Directly on top of them, leaving them largely Wrecked or Completely destroyed in their wake before Pulling Off their Sweep of the hull and Back into the fields.
"This is bomber 2-8-Oh Reporting." the pilot of one of the bombers Transmitted to the bridges of the command ships "The AAguns around the Ship breaking docks are down on the ERVO. Repeating the AAGuns around the ship breaking docks Are down on the ERVO. Drop ships, You are clear to move in. bomber 2-8-Oh out."
