OOC: The majority of Russia is not with the Union btw, your ship is gonna get jumped
, sorry, but we won't do too much damage, capture alive. The Union doesn't know that you are with them, so they have to "escort" you to a shipyard to change your transponder codes.
In Game:
It was the first battle without Cera leading the charge, ever since Shogun disappeared...now Admiral Lokke is at the helm. He really admired Shogun and his style...in fact the game plan for this battle is right out of his playbook...
Mines blew up all across the battlefield and automatic missile pods launched a shower of missiles at the enemy flagships. The ships suddenly came out of cloak, and rushed the flagships all guns ablaze...the MS and fights took care of the smaller ships while the bombers assaulted the bigger ones.
It was a capture alive mission, so they didn't destroy everything in their sights. Besides, annhilation is usually not a good strategy, "Always better to capture alive,"-Art of War...
Lokke motioned to the pilot to take the IVS Amaterasu into mech mode. The Amaterasu blasted into mech mode and pointed the powerful Archangel cannon at the bridge of the opponent...the SSS Aggressor. He mobilized the entire Special Actives Division 5 - the former ESSCPA for this mission and made sure everything was perfect and covered...textbook style though, he is still a fresh Admiral. He heard a lot about the Aggressor... it is not an opponent to underestimate and hopefully a valuable ally.
"Hail them," he said to the communications officer,
"This is Admiral Lokke of the IVS Amaterasu of the Vichi Empire. I am on a mission to confirm your allegiance in this conflict, and to escort you, your crew and your ship to the nearest shipyard,
Let me assure you that you won't regret declaring loyalty to the Union,"
