2171.8.2, Home Fleet
“Tell Rear Admiral Heinicke to proceed into Wolf 935 and head to the inner system we will enter 2 hours behind her as planned” spoke Rear Admiral Edwardo Vandevender, she may of outranked him but as commander of the Home Fleet it was his operation and she was to provided assistance with a forward screen. Today was the day the Kingdom of Jagga was going to bleed. This was a combined carrier operation, his mission was to engage the enemy and destroy as many combat ships as possible. Previous probes had showed the ineffectiveness of the Belgium and Frigate offensive capability, the enemy had screen vessels that had blunted all missile attacks. The Wasp class fighters carrying 2x super fast missiles and the corvettes carrying MIRV box launchers would attack the screen ships. I lucky intelligence haul had identified the Freem class as the AAM screen. The mass of fast missile would ignore capital ships and destroy these AAM frigates the corvettes would finish them off.
2171.8.2, Cruiser Force 20.27.26
“Contact, 4 FAC's closing" the alarmed sensor operator reported. Claudia smiled so far they had made there way past a number of wrecks from previous missions, and was surprised when no jump gate force was in effect. The Cruiser were designed for defensive and close quarters. These FAC would not trouble the force. "Allow them to close to laser range and engage we will not waste our escort offensive missiles" the message was for her surrounding bridge crew. She had found enlightening her crew to her plans instilled more confidence in the situation.
2171.8.2, Cruiser Force 21.02.54
Admiral, the FAC's have fired on us with missiles and now turning about the speed it to great for us to close" the sensor operator pauses a moment to check his readings "1 Zhuk class, 4 Natya class, 2 Fatimah class, 5 Sentinel class and 1 Ramadan class. they are moving to intercept. They are coming from the inner system. "Acknowledged Ensign, continue our heading"
2171.8.2, Cruiser Force 21.47.16
Admiral, the FAC's have fired on us with missiles and now turning about the speed it to great for us to close" Claudia though a moment. Tell FFG Glenroe and FFG Stirling to fire two missiles for each FAC that should be enough to destroy all four ships.
2171.8.2, Cruiser Force 21.47.21
CA Antares the target for the 15 missiles destroyed the target the multiple point defence weapons, three minute latter the frigates GSlam missiles destroyed the fac, adding to the pile of metal floating in this system
2171.8.3, Cruiser Force 01.35.06
"Admiral, active sensor have now picked up 20 ships in that Jagga fleet". Claudia knew it was time to slow her point advance and allow Home Fleet to catch up to launch the strike class to thin the enemy vessels. "Helm 1/4 speed, Comms tell Admiral Vandevender we are sending information on the Jagga Fleet and we have identified the screen targets."
2171.8.3, Bravo Squadron "Wildcats", 03.40.31
Lt Commander Lee Qian Liang frustrated as the squadron took time plotting in the targets the squadron in his mind was still green. And the Wasp fighter had never been tested. Finally the squadron was ready to fire, and watched as 34 missiles streak away. 34 missiles?? He banged his console and then watched Wasp 005 fire his 2 missiles 15 seconds later. He as going to have a word to Wasp 005 commander when they returned to reload and it was not going to be a pleasant chat.
2171.8.3, Home Fleet, 03.57.36
Rear Admiral Vandevender smiled as the first strike missile exploded against the Jagga screen vessels, they did not even fire there defensive missiles, perhaps the speed of these new Locus Missile evaded there sensors or they did not expect them. Either way some of the screen vessels slowed, a couple of magazine explosions hid Freem 003 and Jasiri 002 in a mist of thermal radiation for a moment, however they continued to now limp behind the fleet.
2171.8.3, The Corvettes, 05.37.26
The seven South Carolina corvettes had split from home fleet for it attack run they were now in positions to launch they would only get one shot at this as once there box launchers finished firing there would be no reload. However 3 Fatboy MIRV which had contained a further 3 Fatboy warheads would separate 5 Mkm from target, putting on target a total of 63 warhead size 10 missiles.
2171.8.3, Home Fleet, 03.57.36
Rear Admiral Vandevender rubbed his hand as he watched the fatboys close on target, the to his disgust the Jagga point defence operated and 33 warheads were downed before hitting targets. But his disgust turned to glee as the Zhuk was hit by 8 warheads destroying the craft. Fatimah 002 was hit very hard with atmosphere streaming on each hit only to watch it limp from the fleet. Freem 002 was also destroyed, which was one of the four AAM frigates removed. Secondary explosions rattled through the damaged and destroyed vessels.
2171.8.3, Bravo Squadron "Wildcats", 09.24.36
The second launch was a better affair but their had work was only paved with a minor number of the missile penetrating the point defence, causing minor damage to the Freem 001, Natya 003 and Jasiri 003.
2171.8.3, Bravo Squadron "Wildcats", 14.00.56
The third launch was an accomplished affair the carrier crew refitted the missiles in a good allotted time and the flight crew were on their game at launch. They were rewarded with the Freem 01 destroyed and Karabane 005 and Jasiri 002 heavily wounded. But the air crews need some rest
2171.8.3, Home Fleet, 14.00.56
"Admiral we have new contacts towards the middle of the system they are not moving towards us. I cannot determine if the ships are warships or commercial. 40-50 ships of the Nyryat or Stuart class. The Rar Admiral thought for a moment already they are winning a major victory the main fleet was turning about and heading for the inner system, however not towards the planets.
2171.8.3, Bravo Squadron "Wildcats", 21.51.41
The fourth launch could not knock out the Jasiri 002 and Jasiri 003 or Karabane 005 they were sure these ship were almost knocked out. But it seem these Jagga ships were as stubborn as there owners. The dragonfly could intercept and destroy these wounded vessels, which were now running for a jump point rather then follow the rest of the fleet.
2171.8.3, Echo Squadron "Lancers", 21.51.41
Echo squadron where raring to go, they had been in a defence posture in front of the Bravo launching points to stop any enemy fighters. But they wanted some action. They finally received some order to take out some enemy wounded vessels
They closed of what they thought was the most heavily damaged of the Jagga vessels and engaged. They ripped beams across the Fatimah 002, but the ship took the damage and returned fire with thre own weapon, DragonFly 010 and 012 was hit and broke apart
2171.8.3, Echo Squadron "Lancers", 23.34.26
DragonFly 017, 013, 014, 019, 015 and 002 were destroyed the recharge of the Jagga ship being only 5 seconds this will impact was devestaring the squadron however it ripped it laser across the Jagga ship once more. Dragonfly 016, 020, 008, 007, 001. Another pass must of destroyed the sensors or weapons as the Jagga ship was dead in space and not firing back, two more runs and the Fatimah 003 broke apart.
