Defence of Elvorfilas

[Paul M (OP)]

[ooc]Here is a nice but relatively short I'd think battle that has a twist to it.[/ooc]

After a diplomatic incident by the Uruloki of Udunn's contact team the Cervii Republic declares war.  They follow the retreating Uruloki corvettes to their entrance warp point and then very shortly stage a fast assault hoping to gain ground against an unprepared opponent.

At the Warp Point:

Joint Expeditionary Force 4 (Cpt. Jomminnii -grade: Avg)
Banalis 019 (Banalis III class)
Naraithsol 023 (Narathsol IV class)
Naraithsol 024 (Narathsol IV class)
Glamatus 025 (Glamatus III class)
Glamatus 026 (Glamatus III class)

Survey Fleet (Col Keicher -grade: Crack)
X Gomalus 001 to 016 (X Gomalus II class)

Survey Fleet 2 (Col Jillar -grade: Crack)
X Gomalus 017 to 032 (X Gomalus: Crack)

Skywatch: Elvorfilas (Cpt Hartfyr -grade: Avg)
Augfarthing 028 (BS Augfarthing II class)
Augcating 058 (BS Augcating III class)
Augcating 059 (BS Augcating III class)

Automatic weapons:  60 paterns of nuclear mines, 30 DSB-L (deployed as the player wishes)
Crew grade:  all Drake ships are elite except the Augfarthing 28 which is Crack.  The bases were only finished their shakedown last month.
XO racks: normal loads are shown below but the player may change them based on what is in the forces magazines
Ships may start anywhere on the map and the bases must be set up within weapon range of the warp point.
All boatbays carry ast.

WP8 is a Type 11 Warp Point on this end, but a Type 12 Warp Point on the other side.  A fact the Cervii republic is not aware of, though they know the location of the warp point to Elvorfilas.

The Cervii Republic had to act swiftly. Its fleet buildup after contact was not yet complete, with many ships in the yards, but after the terrible insult (some voices whispered the uroloki senior ambassadors second aide had taken a bite out of a minor delegation member ) the republic had to act swiftly before the predators could fortify the warp point. Thus they detached full datagroups of avaiable ships and towed their bases in position to fortify the warp point. Unfortunately, the survey fleet was not in position, being busy talking with another race.

Thus, Salamander 1-3, Patton 1-3 and Rakshasa 1-6 were send foreward to gain the warp point and allow free maneuver on the other side.

Historically, the SD and BB carried 2 EDM each and then CM on the XO, but all TL 7 ammunition is avaiable. all boat bays carry ast.

Cervii RM is 11, RD is 90 and RC is 98 (wich made the war as result of a rolled 01 even stranger, as they had progressed up to Full communication without incident just to decalre war upon a fluke of luck result.).

All ships are average except Rackshasa 5 and 6, wich were poor but used anyway to fill out the attack line.
