The screens and sensors light up as the battle begins, with ships on both sides opening up and beginning combat maneuvers. The CIGNEX fighters dart after the
Wolf in Chase, clearly trying to pick off the smaller corvette, which attempts to strafe one of the enemy cruisers before turning its guns on the harassing fighters.
The
Frost and the
Tides meanwhile, go after one of the cruisers with the
Frost scoring a direct hit with its grav cannon and a torpedo launched by the
Tides finds its mark.
Several of the enemy ships fire at the
Storm in Waiting, but the ship's armour is easily able to shrug off the weapons fire. Even one of the enemy's anti-ship bombers has its attack run end with nothing more than superficial damage as its fractal impact charges explode harmlessly on your armour plating, barely causing a scratch.
