Walt grips his flight stick tighter and sighs in annoyance. "I'll take the Temnabog myself." He begins lining up another shot of plasma on the bomber. "We don't all need to pile on this thing at once when it's nearly dead."

"Thanks for the assistance."

Ellie fires four HSMs at Jester 1-2 and starts aiming.



: Roger that Walt, don't let that gun overheat.

Bell starts aiming for the nearest engine block on the Maskara.

Lorens follows Bell's Su-57. He cues the Masakra's engines through the TGP and keeps his thumb primed over the munitions release button, waiting for a saturation attack from the allied fighters to release his last missiles.

Jaakko gnashes his teeth.

“...Copy Onxy”

He looks the Temnabog and realizes his mistake, that he had lost track of this situation.

“stuff. stuff! Walt, good thinking,”

Jaakko brings about his Tukreb. He aims and fires his EML at the Temnabog’s last plasma gun to protect Walt’s attack.

Walt grips his flight stick tighter and sighs in annoyance. "I'll take the Temnabog myself." He begins lining up another shot of plasma on the bomber. "We don't all need to pile on this thing at once when it's nearly dead."
This happens.

"Roger that Walt, don't let that gun overheat."
Bell starts aiming for the nearest engine block on the Maskara.
This too.

Lorens follows Bell's Su-57. He cues the Masakra's engines through the TGP and keeps his thumb primed over the munitions release button, waiting for a saturation attack from the allied fighters to release his last missiles.
And this.

Jaakko brings about his Tukreb. He aims and fires his EML at the Temnabog’s last plasma gun to protect Walt’s attack.

Attack successful.

A handful of Imperial planes lay into what's left of the Temnabog, and it begins to pitch downwards. This close to the target though, it cannot be assumed to be out of the picture yet. The Masakra also comes under attack, but the PD knocks out over half of the incoming munitions.


Ajka aims for the roosterpit of the Vaduren and fires all of her guns at it. "Guns on the Vaduren!“

The particle cannons impact against the roosterpit, vaporizing two neat holes in the roosterpit. Before the disappointment can set in from the (relatively speaking) minor damage, you spot the glow of rocket engines rising rapidly from below- a quartet of SAMs from one of the local air defense units. Three of them are shot down by the laser defense turrets, but one manages to reach its target, right below the roosterpit. The control center is destroyed, its contents spewed skywards in a plume of burning debris.

The Vaduren's LBX cannon seriously damages Ajka's left wing. The plane is still controllable, but she has to fight to keep it stable. Gun accuracy and evasion is reduced by 10.

Eremit shoots down the last fighter.

Imperial fighters are now swarming what's left of the Vaduren, hosing it down with 20mm cannonfire to minimal effect.


Onyx and Rauths destroy the AFS Grzmot, its meager defensive installations picked off by gunfire allowing a pair of missiles to impact inside the hangar deck and set off a catastrophic chain reaction. Two of the attacking planes are picked off by the Odslighet.
: [Drokk! Eberhardt here, just lost my wingman and the Helian.]
: [Press the attack, engage at point blank if you have to. No time to withdraw.]

Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 4 turns.

Walt fires, laying plasma into the Temnabog. He prays to the gods that it's enough to finish the thing off.

Ajka reels back as the massive shot-blast shreds her left wing, turning it into a gnarled mess of metal ribbons and fragments, sending jagged shards of metal and polymer into the side of her roosterpit. She recovers herself as best she can and tries to account for the loss in lift and control.

"Airframe heavily damaged, at this point it's more air than metal..." she lets out over the comms.

She aims for the right-side engine of the Vaduren and fires all her weapons at it.


Bell finishes aiming and fires a KSM round towards the side of the Maskara's engine block.

: Looks like the other two cruisers have had their roosterpits compromised. They won't be able to correct course if we hit them now.



"Alright, I'll try to cover you."

Ellie fires a half-aimed LCB shot towards the Vauden's remaining LBX cannon.

Jaakko turns his attention to the Masakara and fires an aimed burst at the starboard side CIWS with his gun.

Lorens fires his last two missiles at the Masakra, aiming for the starboard engine bank.

PD turret destroyed.

Lorens fires his last two missiles at the Masakra, aiming for the starboard engine bank.
PD S3 rolls to intercept missile:
AGM 1: 84 - failure
AGM 1: 36 - failure

Both AGMs hit the starboard engine, and the thrusters go dark. The Masakra begins its final descent, pounded by Imperial missiles along the way.

The particle cannons vaporize two neat holes in the engine's armor plating and breach a fuel line beneath. The highly reactive gas is ignited and begins to burn- and under very high pressure due to the particle cannon's breaches only being centimeters wide. In a matter of seconds, the engineering crew is incinerated, and from outside Ajka can see the engine housing begin to glow orange in spots before the entire section explodes.

"Alright, I'll try to cover you."
Ellie fires a half-aimed LCB shot towards the Vauden's remaining LBX cannon.

The topside turret is destroyed. The Vaduren will not be dragging Ajka down with it.



With the Temnabog, Masakra, and Vaduren all destroyed, you have bought yourself some breathing room. The nearest airships to their target are now the two foremost carriers. Additionally, both air wings have more or less regrouped in their attack on the heavy squadron.
Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 7 turns.

"Targeting Vaktare." Walt aims, then fires everything but his plasma at his fresh target.


*shoots them all down in tie-fighter*

bro you failed strom trooper aim

Bell takes a half-aimed potshot at the Blixtkrig.



Ellie breathes a sigh of relief as she hits her target and sees the cruisers going down.

"Captain, should we head for the carriers?"

Jaakko struggles to find a location on the carrier that his gun can damage. He remembers the carrier's refueling booms. Could his gun be enough to cause a fuel fire?

He aims for the Blixtkrig's forward starboard side LAMS emplacement.

"Imperial aircraft, the Aesthian carriers have refueling booms on their wingtips behind the CIWS emplacements, in the tail boom, and along the hull. Striking it may cause a fuel fire,"
