Neive and Zucrat watched the approaching vessels, the fighters approaching.
Then it went off.
A single turbolasers, firing off into space, past their formation and dissipating into the atmosphere of the planet. The two only watched as the projectile passed, not even hitting close to their formation...
"What... Was that?" Neive looked at Zucrat.
Zucrat only shrugged. "Maybe a warning shot?"
Neive chuckled. Close enough. They fired first, let's do this."
And with that, the fighters began their attack, the other ships backing them up as they began their first round of firing. The Marquis targeting, looking to the ASSD for a moment before shaking his head.
"Spread out the targets. Have the XJ's focus on fighters, and perhaps have some of our larger ships help them out. Thin the herd of the smaller fighters before we move to the larger vessels."
Zucrat nodded. "We should also use our secondary weapons against the larger ships to take them out of commission, if possible." Neive agreed and the lasers started flying.
Everything fired, from the XJ's to the Marquis itself, and everything in between. In unison, Hell began to rain down on the imperial vessels... and this would only be the beginning.

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
Rhoden's eyes widened briefly as the turbolaser shot lanced out, but he didn't hesitate--he knew what would happen now. "Fighters engage. XM-1's move up and support the Interceptors and Starwing's." he said before the initial blast was ever out of sight and the enemy only beginning to move. "Bombers hang back, once the enemy fighters are fully engaged move in and begin support."
The hostile fighters were boring ahead toward the fighter screen now, and as Rhoden watched the TIE's and Starwing's seemed to bowl inwards preparing to collapse on the enemy forces--in the meantime they could fire indiscriminately and potentially take out some of the hostiles, without any risk of hitting an ally. The XM-1's surged forwards and would be in the thick of the fight before it began in earnest.
He turned his attention to the larger and somewhat more worrying vessels ahead. "Fire all proton torpedoes and focus initial fire on the gravity well generators." he said. There was a great flash, from all around him, as the torpedoes and turbolasers complied with the order--likewise for the Star Destroyers beside him. "Now. Reclaimer, Adversary, focus fire on three targets, everyone else focus on one vessel only." he said, turning to Captain Karolson "We're to designate five targets--once we've battered the foremost capital ships and wiped out enough fighters we'll push forward and strike at the flagship."
Rhoden paused, "Oh, and have the Lancer's tighten up and move to support our fighters." he said. "Aye, sir." the captain said, speaking a stream of orders himself. Once he was finished Rhoden turned to him, a hard set in his face as the first rumblings of turbolaser fire began to slam into their shields.
"Find out what happened with that turbolaser battery and deal with whoever was involved. The Empire does not tolerate incompetence." he said. The Captain blinked and swallowed, "What did you have in mind, sir?" he asked cautiously, "Use your imagination, Captain."

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
Neive and Zucrat both watched on as the battle had began, and the K-wings maneuvered towards the ASSD for their run. The ships were moving, fighters engaged, and the larger ships helped both to thin the herd of fighters and to attack their counterparts for the enemy. Truly, the battle was in full swing.
(OOC: From here I believe the gen will begin. Everything is set, and my orders for the first round have been confirmed by Sal.)

((OOC: To make it easy, I've highlighted everything that was incapacitated as red and everything that was disabled as purplish. Let me know if you have questions or concerns, particularly if something doesn't add up according to your orders. A note on ion damage. The system does not compute it as raw damage, rather it goes into a separate calculation and, if enough ion damage is incurred compared to the value of hull rating (shields are ignored), one of five things happen: 1.) Hyperdrive failure. 2.) Weapons failure. 3.) Engine failure. 4.) Shield failure. 5.) No effect. I calculated this via random roll 1-5 if a ship was over 50% ion damage. Also, ignore the typo on "Shields," since that's on the generator side, it's not me consistently making a typo.))

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
Rhoden climbed quickly to his feet and squinted through the stinging haze of smoke filling the bridge. The battle had gone well, but the Devastation had taken the considerable brunt of the opposing side's firepower. Unless the Imperials were able to tow her out of the system and properly secure her the vessel would be lost. The situation was the same for the Adversary and the Corellian Gunship. The Interceptor's had been overtaken in their entirety, the missile boats were similarly destroyed--though more pilots had survived to be recovered if the opportunity arose. Too one full wing of Bombers had been lost.
On the other hand the enemy had suffered similar losses. Last tactical update Rhoden had seen the Bulwark had been suffering power fluctuations from sustained Ion cannon fire with the MC30 suffering under similar assault. A Neutron bulk cruiser and CR-90 corvette had been utterly decimated and the hostile MC40 had been in similar shape. Of course, given their own fighter situation and tactical reports, the hostile fighter force had not been diminished to any notable degree.
Rhoden grabbed Captain Karolson around the arm and hauled the man to his feet. He began dragging the Captain towards the exit as the man coughed and rubbed at his eyes. "Come on, Captain. We're evacuating to the Reclaimer." he said. The Captain did not verbally acknowledge Rhoden's statement but he did at least pick himself up and begin walking on his own. Rhoden kept a hand on his shoulder to guide him through the smoke.
They moved through the bowels of the ship at a quick pace, thankfully leaving the heavier smoke behind. Klaxons blared and the hull creaked, but worst of all was the persistent thunder of internal explosions. How many took loyal Imperials to their deaths? Parents, veterans, newly minted ensigns? It would be a long and painful time in accounting for them all. Who would be tasked with sorting the dead from the living? Would that person watch a friends name scroll by on the list of names? But now wasn't the time to think of that...
The pilot for Inferno's shuttle was nowhere to be seen, of course. Perhaps she too had died in the fires or explosions, or had she been sucked out into space, smothered by the smoke, vaporized by turbolaser fire? Rhoden pushed the thoughts away and brought the shuttles systems online. "We're full, Commander!" Captain Karolson called from the back. Rhoden nodded, "Lifting off." he quickly pulled up tactical reports and called the Reclaimer up. "Change of plans, Captain." he said as the man came forward and sat beside him. "We're going to the Razor." he said. "Shields on the Reclaimer are down and they've taken damage." the Captain said nothing but nodded solemnly.
The shuttle veered off and made for the Razor, the surviving Starwings and Bombers ensured the ships ferrying survivors from the damaged ships were not destroyed by the enemies.

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
Neive looked over the schematics for the fleet... He only had one thing to say about the casualties on the enemy end.
"Well, Zucrat... I warned them."
The rodian smiled, laughing to himself a bit. Although this battle had been bloody on both sides, it seemed the enemy had fallen much heavier in death toll than the Alliance's fleet. The bulwark would have to take some time before it was operational again, as would the High Tide... but what had happened to the other ships?
Neive looked at the fleet's status report.
"Antares... destroyed.
Valiance... destroyed.
Jate Kara... destroyed."
The rodian looked down, shaking his head. So many were killed in this battle... and for what?
"That's all. The High Tide and Farther Star will both be operational shortly. All others are intact."
Zucrat smiled at the news. It had not been that bad for them after all... but what of the empire's forces? They had been devastated, for lack of a better word... but they must have seen this as a massacre. It was terrible... but for now, Zucrat thought, they would have to take a victory as such.
Neive looked over the viewports, as the imperial forces began their retreat.
"They're retreating... we could give pursuit until they make the jump. Cause as much damage as possible as they leave."
Zucrat looked at Neive for a moment, a bit nervous.
"But... after the experience that I witnessed not long ago at the hands of their forces... I'd be no better then them if I allowed something like that. Would be best to let them lick their wounds..."
Zucrat smiled in relief. "I agree. Enough death has already come this day. Let's just celebrate the win we have."
Neive narrowed his eyes as he watched the forces in front of him, the Alliance's own forces forming back in their group.
"Indeed. They lost enough on board the ASSD that any more would only be insult to injury..."
With that, Zucrat and Neive stood side by side, listening to the comm channels flood with cheering of their allies... this war was far from over. But such a feat on a day like this... it was definitely a morale booster.

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
The battle was over. The Empire had received a butt kicking the likes they were all too familiar with. A ship once thought seemingly invincible was now a smoldering wreck and would soon become a hood ornament on many of the ships that took part in the battle. A constant reminder that just because a ship had Super in its name didn't make it unbeatable.
Yes, the Alliance had lost a few smaller ships. Yes, the mighty Bulwark was in the process of resetting its power grid to get it back online, but the Marquis stood strong and untouched. The bulk of her escorts were still at the ready. Her fighters were mostly intact while their competition shriveled and floated in space. The fighters of the great Alliance could peer out over the slaughter the had unleashed on their Imperial attackers and let out tears. Tears for those lost in a pointless attack.
How many souls had the Empire thrown away on their "super" star destroyer? Hundreds? Thousands? How many pets? How many droids? How many families had the Empire ruined in the name of bloody conquest? Then what about the other ships?
But this was the Alliance. They didn't hit an opponent when they were down. They did what good guys did. They offered assistance to those who would have been their conquerors. Assistance to tend those too wounded to be moved before the Empire could flee away back to whatever toilet they had come from. Assistance to get the engines of the damaged ships online to ferry the wounded and dead back home. Assistance in rounding up the escape pods.
The interdictor could have trapped them all there. The Empire's soldiers trapped and imprisoned, but they were just soldiers following orders. It was no excuse for being barbarians. It was no excuse for the destroyers of worlds. It was only the lie they told themselves to help them sleep at night. Those who didn't have to were to be pitied.
The one exception to their aid was the destroyed ships. They would not be leaving the system. The Empire was in no position to argue. They were outgunned. They were outclassed. They had been weighted and found wanting. They could only run and cry to their Moff about how the big Alliance had shown them the error of their ways. Team Alliance had trumped the egos of the Empire.
Those destroyed Imperial craft would be given a more useful life after any bodies remained had been recovered and sent back to the Empire. A few hundred coal reefs the "super" star destroyer could make. A few flood walls perhaps on a distant world. Its hull was too stubborn and stained to make bouncy castles.
The good guys had won. The bad guys had been spanked. Another in a long line of heroic victories.

The good guys had won. The bad guys had been spanked. Another in a long line of heroic victories.

Re: Cry of the Chimera, Part I: To Take the Lion's Share (Rho, Solle, Neive)
Joris Kleb had been an engineer his entire life. No one could line up the power sockets on an turbine quite like he could, and the Navy had been quick to recognize the man's talents. A native of Ord Binir, Kleb never expected to climb that ladder as steadily as he had. And yet, after servicing various machinery aboard several Imperial Class vessels, Joris' overseers had deemed him worthy of a posting on the Devastation. Indeed, for a civilian operator, there was no higher honor. Yes, upon hearing of his promotion, Mrs. Kleb was eager to offer her appreciation to her husband. A fine day for Joris, a fine achievement. An achievement, which, at the present moment, was being consumed by an internal firestorm. How had it come to this?
The battle had shown promise, from what the master engineer had been told prior to the engagement. And yet, he now stood as the sole survivor of a catastrophic internal incident. The largest salvo from the enemy assault had fried most of the regulator circuits that fed into the Allegiance-Class' reactor module, reducing its functionality to nil. That's when things really got out of hand. Minor explosions shredded the safety layers on the coolant lines, which sent sub-zero fluids flooding into the engineering hub. And, without the coolant, the liquefied fuel easily tore through its feeble circulation system, and soon found other, more biotic material to feast upon. Thus, on either side, the horrified engineer witnessed piles of seared flesh, and the mortified likeness of his colleagues encased in frost.
It was ghastly to say the least, but the intrepid tinkerer wasn't about to follow suit. Being a smaller, rounder, man, Joris was determined to escape the faltering husk of his livelihood. Doing his utmost not to inhale the columns of smoke, Kleb rounded the debris-ridden hallway that put him closest to the dorsal escape pod bays. While most of the access hatches had been sealed by auto-locks, the older engineer possessed a veritable skeleton key. Eager to be rid of his durasteel prison, Kleb moved to pry open one of the smaller grates, only to howl in agony as superheated metal fused his gloves to his hands. Alright, so it wouldn't be that easy. No matter, there were other, less volatile exits in the vicinity.
Then came an automated announcement that made Joris' blood run colder than his counterparts, [Ignition drive contamination imminent: Please resolve...]. Ah, yes, the ignition device at the bottom of the reactor cylinder. Normally, fuel would titrate in a fixed rate, such that the engines and power cells could handle the voltage at a safe interval. Now however, the slurry of chemicals and raw fuel components would seep in at their leisure, leading to an unavoidable, and unpredictable chain reaction. With a deafening boom, Kleb turned around just in time to witness a vortex of flame come spiraling towards him. "Well", the defeated gentlemen murmured aloud, "So much for that retirement on Jazbina".
Spires of light erupted from the exterior hull of the Devastation, as the reactor's detonation ripped the Star Destroyer in two. The disjoint pieces of the main chassis drifted apart for a few precious second, until another string of explosions vaporized them in their entirety. Soon after, the Star Destroyer Adversary followed suit, albeit of its commanding officer's volition. Though the enemy had seized the day, they would not enjoy the benefits of the Empire's own resources. The drifting carcass of the Gunship IN-903 was the last to buckle and burst apart, until the only marked vessels remaining were those within functioning parameters. If nothing else, the Imperial shipyards had their seasonal work cut out for them for the foreseeable future.

Rhoden walked onto the bridge of the Razor just in time to see the Devastation explode brilliantly. He took a hissing breath in and let it out, the rest of the damaged ships followed the mighty vessel. "Self-destruct systems--the Devastation blew up on its own." one of the bridge officers reported. "Do we know how many were still aboard?" he asked, his voice calm. "Our sensors couldn't get an accurate reading, sir." the officer said softly. Rhoden's lip twitched and he checked the time, "We've done what we could." he said.
"Once all fighters and transports are safely docked and all ships prepared we're leaving." he said, "Assume defensive position, withdraw as quickly as possible, relay any communications from the rebels to me." Captain Karolson walked onto the bridge, "Captain." he said, smiling slightly, "Medbay. Now." the man looked at him, nodded and turned around. Rhoden looked to the Razor's captain, "I'll be following him, alert me of any developments."
