<span class="mu-b">”Woah, look at that big ship in the center! Do the Consortium have battleship technology?!”</span>
“Negative. That is a Cruiser-class ship, simply augmented and optimized for combat. It has superior armor, weapons, more computer-cells, and probably a better crew. It also has point-defense to defend itself against Fighters. It's more of a “Battle-Crusier” class; like the old Hegemonic Bite of Batool.”
<span class="mu-b">“Still, it makes me nervous. Threes, quick, tactical data. Strategic advice.”</span>
“Your fleet has a limited amount of health. As you lose fleet strength, you will also deal less damage- except for your artillary, which fire randomly each round. Each group of the enemy fleet will attack and may have special properties. The <span class="mu-s">Flagship</span> is leading the entire fleet, and will be a hardpoint to take down. Our Starseers report a strong Starsight presence within the flagship- likely a <span class="mu-i">worm</span> leading the attack. The <span class="mu-s">Cruiser Groups</span> will do the most direct damage to your fleet and be the hardest to take down. The <span class="mu-s">Bomber Groups</span> are support ships and fighters directly protecting that larger fighter-class ship in the center- a bomber.”
<span class="mu-b">”I don't like the look of those.”</span>
“The Bombers appear to be here to destroy <span class="mu-i">The Stand</span>, and kill anyone inside along with it. Like yourself, my Lord. Which is why I recommended you lead from Jaxt.”
<span class="mu-b">”Shh.”</span>
“The Bombers will spend a turn moving thru space, then destroy our observation satellite, then the artillery on the planet's surface, and finally the base, if they reach it. They cannot be allowed to reach the base.”
<span class="mu-b">”I get that. What about the Support Ships and Fighters near the flaship?”</span>
“Those seem to be protecting the Flagship. Destroying it will be easier if they are taken out- and they are much less defended and armored then the rest of the fleet.”
<span class="mu-b">”Relay a message to the fleet. Tell the pilots and captains- this is our Stand. You will be heroes of the Hegemony, we draw the line here against alien aggression and domination. They will break against us; the wave will crash upon our shore and fall apart! Make me proud! HONOR OR THE VOID!”</span>
<span class="mu-s">Rules</span>
Roll a d20 and specify which Fleet-Group you'd like to attack. You can roll by typing “dice+1d20” in the options field. Damage dealt in excess of 100% will reduce incoming damage from that Fleet-Group.
