UMS Strike Force

"Commander: I have just been handed a report stating that a UMS strike force has entered our space. Looks like our scout ship picked up some good readings before it was detected and had to warp out. There are detailed scans, seems to be a standard wedge formation, a small frigate leading, a slightly larger frigate trailing, a pair of destroyers flanking. The destroyers' configurations are not consistent with the UMS Night Stalker which we recovered a few months ago, however sensor readings indicate that they have the same basic armament and overall capabilities as the Night Stalker. An unknown vessel in a warp-capable carrier-type configuration has been spotted near the center. We have identifed a deployed wing of Burner fighters, and they are also launching a never before seen, slightly smaller fighter from a central, most likely command or battleship-type vessel. In front of the central vessel, 3 new corvette class vessels, simmilar in size to our own Stryker-class raiders have been identified, although they do not appear to have warp capability, a bracket of some kind is clearly visible on these zoomed in images. No doubt they have now perfected thier warp-speed towing technique. It should also be noted that the central command / battleship has no warp engines, and it must have been towed as well since it had to have traveled at least 12 AU to reach our border. Oh, lastly is a large cruiser type vessel similar to those we have encounterd before, it seems to be the most capable of the small strike force and has taken up position over the rest of the enemy vessels" the tactical officer advised Seville, commander of the Phoenix Fleet

"Ensign! Put me on Fleetwide!" The commander shouted to the communications officer

"Channel open, Sir" she replied

"This is Seville to all ships, set your course for Sierra Alpha Five Eight and prepare to engage at warp 9 on our lead. We have multiple incoming UMS contacts, all ships weapons free, pick your targets and open fire once in range. Seville out" he ordered.


And with that the 2nd Fleet, which was actually "Assault Force 23" combined with the "1st Command Armada" warped out of the system and toward the incoming UMS fleet at maximum warp.
