OOC note: Fun fleet CPVP, 48-hr posting window
Stars stretched back into mere pinpoints of light as the FWA fleet exited hyperspace above Commenor; hundreds of ships entering the system all at once. Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl let out a stream of curses that T-8R wisely did not translate as the sight of the burning planet of Commenor appeared into view beneath them. The FWA armada was too late to save the untold suffering on Commenor, but they could enact a measure of revenge on the 5th Fleet that continued to rain hellfire on the planet below.
At least surprise was on the side of the FWA fleet; the 5th Fleet was arranged for bombardment, not the line of battle, meaning that the larger ships, like the Freedom, would require a cumbersome turn in order to bring their full weaponry to bear. "Launch starfighters! Forward shields up! Focus the nearest Starhawk!" Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl ordered, as green and red lasers began filling the space between the two fleets. Hopefully, the messages he'd sent to Charlotte (@Valen Pelora, ooc yes she's elsewhere) and Trina (@Sreeya) had gotten through; against the likes of the 5th Fleet he would need all the help he could get.
The attacking FWA fleet was strategically arranged for just such an ambush; an Interdictor in the rear, jealously guarded by dozens of support ships and Interceptors, ensured that there was no escape for the 5th Fleet; as well as providing a beacon for allies to arrive. The heavier ships in the formation took the front, forming a formidable array against the rear of the 5th Fleet and unified in their desire to destroy the rogue ships.
The Battle of Commenor had begun.
