Locke and Key and Clan Gred designs. Made sense, they had a monopoly when it came to completed space frames on the open market, and for good shabla reason too. They were solid designs. That was not say he was sure that his opponents had brough solid designs to the fight as well. Now there were B-wing analogues attacking his mines, too far out to respond with fighters, too far out to try and intercept incoming fire with countermeasure gas rockets. The mines were probably not long for this world.
Mines that were hit by the Ion weapons shut off after a few hits, still very deadly if touched off, but no longer able to activate on their own. The simulated 'Manda' modules on his ship, while taxing the simulation, marked the mines as a hazard and an object of tactical interest on the battlenet.
Those mines were employing stealth tech, they must have had stealth detection functions on their ships. Regardless. Those B-wings were now in range of his sentries. The sentries were in a position to block the incoming Ion fire with their own chassis, they might have survived too, but they were far more valuable than the mines. That indicated one thing, however, those B-wings were in range of his sentries' guns.
First thing, the B-wings were targeted by the drones'
HJB-03P Heavy Jamming Beam Projector to frustrate further targeting attempts and any lock-threat warning systems that they might posses. Alternatively loaded
HEIAP and
EMP rounds were spat out by the
drone sentries' mass-driver autocannons. The incoming fire didn't stop there.
Tra'beviiin-class Brilliant Missiles were locked and fired at the enemy fighters as well.
The real boon came from the fact that now the drone sentries had a lock, so did the rest of Nyles' formation and every ally that had accepted his earlier data packet handshake request. The launchers on the
Morut and the
Gra'tua had targeting solutions as a result as well. Almost thirty assault grade
T'barsr-BT missiles streaked out toward the B-wings, each of the missiles unleashed about sixteen concussion missile sized submunitions targeting the B-wings. He very much doubted those B-wings could live through that.
Those asteroids were blocking his view partially, but his ships' composite detection, targeting and tracking system was having no trouble picking apart those ships that weren't behind one of the really big asteroids. Those clearly seemed to be made of something that was blocking detection. Another idea hit Nyles at this point.
"Getting anything on the Gar Strill?" he asked Emri.
"Shab yes, at least a couple of contacts on long-range anti-stealth," she answered.
"Should show on the 'Manda' in a moment."
Nyles began dumping power into his ships' main batteries. There were no crew to issue the order to. The main batteries began completing their charge cycle at his behest.
"Let's give them something to worry about," smiled Nyles.
"All callsigns, hold position, engage with long-range batteries, let them come to us. If they don't, that's their mistake, pick them apart," he instructed over comms to his allies.
The
Morut and
Gra'tua engaged with ten Quad
HETL-05S Heavy Energy Torpedo Launcher turrets firing in 'standard' mode each at
Zoro Igala
and
Beltor "Bell" Cyrus
's flagships, identified by the former's Cather life signature coming from the bridge and the latter's force presence coming from his. Those asteroids would provide some cover, but not for long, not against the sort of barrage he was unleashing.
The barrage continued with twelve triple
SCDC-02S Super-Heavy Class-D Disruptor Cannon turrets and triple
SAC-02S Super-heavy Accelerator Cannon turrets. The latter were firing 'standard' energy torpedo sheathed alternatively fired
APFSDS and
Ion Encumbrance rounds. The same solution continued with twelve hextuple
SCDC-02S Super-Heavy Class-D Disruptor Cannon and Hextuple
SAC-02S Super-heavy Accelerator Cannon turrets. This continued with twelve quad and octuple
HCDC-02S Heavy Class-D Disruptor Cannon and
HAC-03H Heavy Accelerator Cannon turrets as well.
Main battery charge was now seventy five percent. One last charge cycle, that's all that remained. Then the full fury of his ships would be ready to be unleashed.
"I gotta say Nyles, you're reputation proceeds you. Heard about what you did on Coruscant with that battlecruiser."
"I'm sure there's a reason the gave me this commission, I'm glad it is well founded in your sight," Nyles answered with a slightly exaggerated incline of his helmet masquerading as a nod of acknowledgement. "Load cluster shells, I've got a bad feeling about what's next," he whispered to Emri over comms, almost as if the other team would hear if he spoke too loudly. Emri's acknowledgement signal flashed in response as her hand flew over the controls.

Naval Action Summary
-
- Some of the mines are neutralized by the B-wings.
- The drone sentries engage the B-wings with missiles and mass-driver autocannons. (see post for details)
- The Darasuum Morut and the Gra'tua both engage the B-wings with assault-grade cluster missiles (see post for details).
- Both ships use their long-range anti-stealth systems and detection, targeting and tracking systems to pick up the enemy ships.
- They engage with triple and hex super-heavy class-d disruptors and accelerator cannons (energy torpedo sheathed mass-driver rounds), quad and octuple heavy class-d disruptor and accelerator cannons and quad energy torpedo launchers (see post for details).
- Cluster shells are loaded into the guns.
