An Act of War
Emperor Heptharg: All ships prepare to jump into the Reticulum system.
Drakh Mothership captain: All ships are ready emperor.
Emperor Heptharg: All ships jump now
::::::The Drakh fleet opens several jump points an exits hyperspace moving toward Reticulum:::::::
Minbari helmsmen: Sir picking up multiple jump points forming 7 kilometers from us
Minbari defense commander: Attention all approaching ships, identify yourselves now or we will be forced to open fire on you. I repeat ....what is that?
:::::::Just as he spoke another series of jump points form and another Drakh fleet of even larger size jumps to normal space in orbit of Reticulum and begins to open fire on the Reticulum defense grid::::
Minbari defense commander: All batteries fire!
::::::The two sides fire on each other but the defense grid is taking heavy damage from unrelenting Drakh weapons fire:::::
Emperor Heptharg: Move planetary bombardment ships into firing possession on the colony.
:::::2 large ships move away from the main fleet toward high orbit of the colony and begin charging up their weapons:::::
Minbari defense commander: All platforms......
Minbari helmsmen: Sir, we are the only one left!
Minbari defense commander: In Valen's name!
Emperor Heptharg: Fire!
:::::::2 massive balls of energy fly out of the 2 ships toward the colony Reticulum and impact the dome of the colony destroying it instantly:::::
Emperor Heptharg: All ships concentrate fire on that last platform.
Minbari defense commander: Were there any survivors?
Minbari helmsmen: No, none. The Drakh fleet is hitting us with
all they have, we must evacuate.
Minbari defense commander: Alright, send the order to evacuate now.
:::::::His words were spoken far to late, just then a Drakh
fighter rams head on into the bridge and destroys it and what left of the platform::::
Emperor Heptharg: We are done here, all ships return to the station.
Losses:
Emperor Heptharg: 1 Mothership, 3 Fighters
Reticulum: 1 Colony (Reticulum), all weapons platforms
