[Astrum: Heavens] [K-15] [Freeman] Kzin Hegemony, Sol Systems Alliance VS Oculi

Helix Nebula

Three fries short of a happy meal: WHACKO!!
  • "We're out of FTL-" The Helmsman aboard Chalakt yelled, "Opening channel with Fleet command!" "We have eleven Alliance vessels on DRADIS, Admiral- Including the George Hammond, sir. So far, no enemy contacts."
 
"Open up a channel with the main Human ship, get a good reading of all Oculi ships in transit. Any FTL jumps I want a immediate report sent to my console."


"Sir Fleet Command is on Stand-by, the main Fleet is waiting for orders. Channel is open with the S.S.V. George Hammond."


The Admiral just nodded as he looked to the main screen waiting for any confirmation from the Humans. "Your sensors picked up foreign vessels in direct course to Kzin Prime. Where are they?"
 
The view screen opened to display Colonel Carter standing on what was presumably the SSV George Hammond's bridge, dimly lit and illuminated by the red glow of warning lights. Behind the Colonel was some kind of holographic starmap of Kzin Home, over which a few crewmen were working. "Our deep space outpost, picked up a squadron of Oculi Basestars en route. That means at least, half a dozen ships, they'll be here in the manner of minutes."


"The Alliance fleet is breaking into two groups." "Admirall... I am detecting.. hmm.. anomalous sssubspace... readingsss.. fifty.. hmm.. thousand kilometers... from.. our possssition.."


"That'll be them! - Admiral Chuft, I recommend you instruct your fighters to remain close to your fleets and provide anti-air defense. They won't do any good against the Basestars. Since our shields can take a beating, I'll divert two squadrons to help keep their drones off your ships. Carter out." The channel was cut.

"Data send the information to Fleet Command in Apax. I want all the Fleet in defensive position, All Squadrons in formation circling around the ships in protection. Once those damned fighters are clear get the bomber squadron set on those base stars. Set up a rally point to 1st Fleet well meet them at the Traat Hotlabs."


-----


Meanwhile aboard the Jun'Ti Admiral Ste'ilk was giving his own orders. "Sir we got word from the Chalakt, there setting a Rally point around Traat, First Fleet is moving."


"Seems that he did his homework. Shield formation Alpha, big ships in back, little ships in front. I want all ships under the ring, it'll mask our pressions. Once those damned Stars jump it, I want all long range cannons firing from the Ring. Lets give First Fleet Support. Frigates are our shields, get fighters and Bombers in prime position for a spearhead. There will be thousands of fighters going after First Fleet. Lets hit them hard and quick. Once those RoboStars Jump in, all bombers aim straight for the center spire connecting the two the damned things together. "
 
"Enemy ships jumping in!.. I'm picking up... five.. six... nine! Nine Basestars, near the edge of Kzin Home, sir!" "Three of the Basestars are moving towards the Ring Worlds.. six of them are on intercept course with the Alliance vessels!" "Alliance vessels are launching fighters to intercept incoming."

After analyzing the flight path and projections of the advancing ship. First Fleet will meet up with the K.H.S. Chalakt, and they will back up the two Human Fleets. First Fleet and the Chalakt will focus on targets F1, and F3. The K.H.S Chalakt is order, once a clear shot is open to use Nuclear Weapons, aimed at the center spire of the BaseStars. At all cost, fighters and support ships are to cover the Chalakt in its attempt. The Main Objective of First Fleet is to support the Humans. But the Secondary objective is to slow down the approaching base Stars, Target F3.


Under the command of the K.H.S. Jun'Ti, Second Fleet will skirt in the border of the Ring Asteroid Belt as they regroup at the position in front of Knaiah. (Note they will not be in orbit around Knaiah.) They will reposition and fortify themselves in the direct path of Target F3. They will use the Ring Asteroid Belt as main cover against all in coming enemies. We know this system the best, with Apax Station we can easily navigate through the belt. Those Basestar's and their fighters will not be so lucky.


The Jun'Ti will lead Second Fleets retaliation attempt once the Target F3 gets in to complete range. The fleet will fire off the main volley with in that the Jun'Ti is authorized to use Nuclear fire when aim is clear and possible. As planned and discussed before all ship fire is to be aimed at the center spires of the Basestars. Second Fleets main objective is to protect Prime, at all cost...

Their orders are clear and their objectives are set in, for now. First Fleet will support the Humans outer flank, and try to once again incircle around the Basestars to hit them while the ships are focusing on the Humans. As for Second Fleet they are to keep on Intercept Course. It seems those BaseStars will be stuck inside the Asteroid fields for a short amount of time. They do not look all too shielded. Send advance bomber and fighter squadrons ahead of the fleet. Use those asteroids as a home advantage, use them as cover and a offence against enemy fighters. The Machines are fast, but the muscle is clever. To cause more chaos, and bring those Basestars to a slowdown that are on intercept in to the Core worlds. We will use our Battleship's long range cannons as a suppressive fire, while are smaller more agile ship, with anti-aircraft capability will close in and blockade their advance and keep them in the Ring.
 
Turn 2; Result


Kzinti forces, lead by Admiral Chuft (F3) have engaged the Oculi (F1, F2) by flanking them. The Oculi haven't engaged the Kzin forces and are instead focusing on the Alliance ships.


The preemptive Fighter and Bomber assault on the Oculi (F3) traversing through the Ring Worlds, has been ineffective, due to all the debris confusing targeting and guidance systems.


A subspace anomaly has been detected by the Alliance vessels, nearing the edge of Kzin Home. 12,000 Kilometers from Gond (K1501-F).

At this rate this one only one Oculi ship destroyed while the rest of the Human fleet takes a casualties and their own losses. First Fleet will rally around the Chalakt, Frigate support in front, long rage fire in the back. With Battleship support aiding the main defense.


Operation Burring Rust, will commence as the Chalakt will go in to weapons range, (for Nuclear Missiles), the Chalakt will make its approaching attack with escorted defense, while another detachments continues to flank around the other BaseStars. The main idea is to misdirect the Oculi ships in to thinking the detachment fleet is the aggressors. While the Chalakt and its escorts will ram in hard with its Nuclear arrsinal. This is a test to see how many shots it takes to destroy one of these BaseStar's central spire.


Second Fleet is to continue on its intercept course against the Oculi ships. Once those BaseStars reach weapons range all ships are ordered to fire on to the center spires of the ships. Science Vessels from Command will be ordered to rendezvous with Second Fleet and support them in their endeavors in to the Ring Belt


Fleet Command has been notified of the Anomaly but at the moment it is preoccupied with the situation. Send in Recon Science Vessels to Gond to investigate.
 
Turn 3; Result


Operation Burring Rust has been somewhat successful and one of the Oculi Basestars has been destroyed, with another heavily damaged (F1)! However, it took the Chalakt's entire nuclear reserves combined with the relentless bombardment of the Kzinti and Alliance fleets, to break through the Oculi's defenses. The Oculi are now also attacking Kzin vessels, already resulting in casualties.


The CVSN Kar'alang, leading a flotilla of science vessels to Gond's orbit, has reported that though they detected a FTL window- No ships have appeared and they can't detect any on scanners - Neither can the Alliance vessels.

First Fleet is to keep up the main fight with the Humans, since two base stars have been destroy there is just one left to focus on. With the rest of First Fleet focusing on the last Oculi Basestar, a detachment fleet, will be dirrected off and sent in to the Oculi fleet that is heading to the main areas of the Kzin Home Sector. As for the K.H.S Chalakt since main armament has been spent it is ordered to pull back from its main role as offence. And Take in cover with in the fleet and return as a the intended role of Commandship.


The Detachment Fleet will consist of


1 Battleship


8 Frigates


6 Cruisers


4 Desroyers


The Detachment Fleet will split off and do a hit and run maneuver on to the 3rd Oculi Fleet's flank. All ships are ordered to fire as many shots in to the back spire of a trailing Basestar and see if they cannot weaken it or destroy it. Any and all signs of advancing Fighters the attack is to be pulled off once they get in to twice the range of weapons fire. (Of the Oculi' fighter's weapons range) As the Detachment Fleet attacks their flanks as they make their decent in to the Asteroid Field. Second Fleet will meet them head on at the other end. Since we saw how effective nuclear weapons were against the Basestars the Jun'Ti will fallow with the same tactics of the Chalakt. The plan for this is to crush the Oculi Basestars in the Ring Belt long before they even get to Knaiah.
 
Turn 4; Results


The Oculi Basestars (F3) traversing through the Ring Worlds, have changed course and are now attacking the Kzinti fleet under Admiral Ste'ilk (F2) head on!


Just prior to it's destruction, the remaining Oculi Basestar (F1) charged and fired a massive energy beam, which swept through Admiral Chuft's Fleet, causing heavy damages.

The Chalakt has done its role, and will go back to being to the role of Command vessel for first fleet. They will stick to the back and try to avoid main weapons fire from the remaining BaseStars. First Fleet is still to support the Human ships attacking the Basestar Fleet (F2). Admiral Chuft is to contact the remaining Human ships and get a states update on their condition.


For Second Fleet K.H.S. Jun'Ti is authorized to use its nuclear armament in the attack aginst the Basestars it is imparative that these ships do not reach any of the core worlds.


The Detachment Fleet is to continue its course though the Ring worlds. As Second Fleet engages the Basestars the Detachment Fleet is to approach from the flank and begin its attack as they are to aim for the center spires on the Basestars.
