>>6302054The battle lasted for what seemed an eternity, at one point it seemed they had the upperhand.
Then the tide turned and we did.
It went like this for some time until victory seemed near.
We had destroyed most of their fleet, only a battleship stood tall.
We fired all we had at it and yet it barely seemed enough to scratch it.
Meanwhile it was still destroying our ships no problem.
Finally, crack appeared on the bow, we focusfired this spot and eventually the ship blew up.
We won this battle, but it was hard fought, many ships were gone and many good ishni had died.
Still, we managed to humble the enemy forces, they did not see us as a non threat anymore afterwards.
They still had more fleets, but they were busy on the front against my fellow federationists, taking system by system.
We decided to go on the offencive and started taking his systems for our own, his starbases were well equipped, but not well enough.
if they had focused on defence like us we would've been shredded.
Thankfully, that wisdom seemed to elude them.
After we took that base their forces occupied with our allies diverted to try to deal with us, and quickly.
We scrambled to put the base we just took over into fighting shape again.
We would need it for the incoming battle.
All seemed silent the days before they had arrived, we knew possible doom would come to us if this were to fail, yet we knew that we couldn't run away, this would be the stand that secured victory in this war.
They finally arrived, with their big ships in few numbers.
Still as intimidating as when we first saw them.
The battle started almost as fast as they had appeared.
We had fewer ships this time but knew better what to expect.
The station we took control over helped tremendously, if not for it, we would've all seen each other in the next life.
We were victorious, but broken.
Our victory had left our forces devestated and unable to move on without being wiped out by their defenses.
