Their approach was carried on with all the speed they had demonstrated previously. However it was marked that with the sudden change in direction many of the Orkish ships that previously weren’t destroyed either cracked under the G-Forces applied to them or collided into eachother upon the approach.
This accounted for 25% of their casualties at the moment, with an additional 15% inflicted by the Tartarus Ships before their disengagement.
Within roughly three minutes they were within range of the batteries that surrounded Lucius as well as the ships. Permission was given to open fire upon confirmation of range.
Attacks slammed against the hulls of the Orkish ships. There were signs of primitive shielding technology among the horde of ships but the majority of them lacked their component. This caused what would have been a devastating charge against the massive Fortress to be whittled down into shrapnel and bits.
Confirmation integrity was given to all battery stations as all but one rock belonging to the Orks survived.
It was noted that when attacks were made against these ships the vessels that were previously going towards the Blackstone Fortress broke away in an attempt to attack the source. None of these ships were able to reach thanks to overwhelming power but this was an important fact.
The last ship was marked to have made contact and rammed the Blackstone Fortress at immense speeds. This however failed to do superficial damage to the Fortress and resulted in the complete destruction of the enemy craft.
It was noted that there were survivors among the wreck. These Survivors attempted to make entrance into the Blackstone Fortress but were ultimately either repelled or captured thanks to their low number.
TalOS recorded the last of the information and placed it within the after-action report. It would take about an hour for the rest of the information from all sources to be trickled down to him but he felt this was accurate to the events that transpired.
Soon it was time to present it for review to the assembled Court of War.
