Clash over Ladok
::::::A massive Drakh fleet lurks it's way through hyperspace lead by a massive ship of unknown design::::::
Drakh helmsman: We've reached the target area emperor
Emperor Heptharg: Emperor Heptharg to all fleet commanders; report status
Empress Saah'mahril: We're ready
Princess Zonhath: Confirmed, weapons powered up
Kath'tok: My ships' weapons are powered up and ready as well emperor
Admiral Mortis: Awaiting orders emperor
Emperor Heptharg: Excellent, La'tok?
La'tok: We're ready
Emperor Heptharg: Jump!
::::::Hundreds of jump points form and the massive Drakh fleet pours forth from hyperspace weapons charge and locked on to Ladok::::::
Human helmsman: What the?! Sir! We're under attack!
Ian Richardson: WHAT?! Show me!
::::::The view screen aboard Ian Richardson's ship activates and shows jump point after jump point forming in the distance::::::
Ian Richardson: Magnify.
Human helmsman: Yes sir....
::::::The screen zooms in on the area just enough to make out several Drakh motherships::::::
Ian Richardson: Drakh! All ships charge weapons and intercept incoming fleet.
President Torinth Badge: We're with you Ian, all ships break and attack!
::::::The defending Human fleet fires up it's engines and weapons and charges straight toward the incoming Drakh fleet
Emperor Heptharg: Kath'tok, Mortis, have your light cruisers form 3 flying wedges. Have them attack orbiting structures. Saah'Mahril, hand your fleet back and protect the Montharg in case some get through us. The rest of you, break and attack!
::::::The two giant fleets speed toward each other with their weapons trained on each other::::::
Admiral Mortis: All ships launch fighters and attack!
::::::A huge fire fight breaks out between the Drakh fighters and Human fighters. One Drakh fighter is hit by a missile from a thunderbolt and loses control causing it to crash into the side of a near by mothership::::::
Emperor Heptharg: Destroyer groups come about and out flank them. Target warlocks and Omega class destroyers and fire! Light cruiser groups provide cover for the mothership groups
::::::Several Drakh destroyers break off from the main fleet and speed toward and to the side of the incoming human fleet and begin firing on the warlock groups::::::
Warlock captain: There's to many of them....AHHH!
::::::The first warlock is consumed by fire from the Drakh destroyers::::::
Ian Richardson: They're trying to outflank us, Hyperion groups counter attack those destroyers. Warlocks provide cover. The rest of you target Motherships and destroyers. Ram them if you have to!
President Torinth Badge: You heard him, attack!
::::::Finally the two main fleets begin trading volley after volley of fire at each other. Both sides are taking heavy damage. One Drakh destroyer is cut in two by a heavy laser beam and irrupts into flames::::::
La'tok: We've punched a hole in their formation, all light cruisers attack that area. Make the hole bigger!
Emperor Heptharg: Shaan'Mahril, bring your fleet up and attack with La'tok's light cruisers at once!
Empress Heptharg: Understood, all ships provide cover for La'tok's ships!
::::::Empress Heptharg's trademark blood red painted ships move up into the thick of battle and attack with La'tok's fleet as they race straight into the human formation sweeping meters away from the hulls of the ships and firing the whole time cutting a Hyperion class cruiser in half and severely damaging the rest just as Empress Heptharg's fleet moves in and begins exploiting the hole in the human formation destroying ship after ship and causing the human formation to separate in two::::::
Ian Richardson: Status report!
Human helmsman: All ships report heavy damage sir. They'll have us surrounded in five minutes we have to get out of here now or not at all!
::::::Ian Richardson's warlock fires it's heavy laser at a Drakh light cruiser coming straight at it causing it to lose navigational control and slam at full speed into the front of Ian's warlock causing a support beam to fall on Ian Richardson. He manages to lift himself out from under it but finds the hit killed the rest of the crew on the bridge. He slowly makes his way over to the control consol and begins pushing a series of buttons::::::
Ian Richardson: All ships fall back to hyperspace now! Get out of here!
President Torinth Badge: Acknowledged. All ships retreat to hyperspace now!
::::::Ian manages to take manual control of his warlock and follows another warlock into hyperspace away from the fighting as the remaining human ships jump to hyperspace::::::
Emperor Heptharg: They've retreated. Motherships 1, 2, 3, and 4 enter the orbit of Ladok and release your payload
Mothership captain: Yes sir. Fire!
::::::The 4 motherships fire a series of organic looking missiles in to the atmosphere that impact the surface with huge force and massive black clouds begin to form in the atmosphere::::::
Empress Heptharg: We're done here, all ships fall back to homeworld
::::::The Drakh fleet forms several jump points and enter hyperspace leaving Ladok in ruins::::::
