Operation Renegade

Operation Renegade was a major joint task force assault conducted by Federation Starfleet , ESRO and Deniksol Starfleet against a major Romulan Star Empire mining colony group. It was very successful, but they failed to stop the defence fleet from escaping, meaning the romulan fleet only lost a few ships.
==History==
The attack fleet arrived in the theatre in high orbit of the planet. They immediately started firing on the outlying defence turrets and patrol ships, and broke a hole in their defences. 
They then started firing on the ground, deploying atmospheric missiles, torpedoes and other kinetic weapons. They put the 3 colonies on the upper continent out of action immediately, then proceeding to focus on the colonies below.
Meanwhile, deniksol transports landed on the planet and took the damaged colonies without any resistance. They then found what appeared to be a bunker with digital storage systems and file cabinets. It turned out to be a data centre with over 70 terabytes of information on romulan ships, planets, base locations, planted operatives in other factions and more. They downloaded the information after running scans for viruses or other malware, then uploaded it to their ships above.
Back in orbit, the attacking ships soon encountered the defending fleet, with over 200 ships. They fired on them almost immediately, destroying 5 as the others retreated. At this point the planet had been completely taken by SBIC forces.
=== Aftermath ===
The taking of the planet was critical to the efforts of SBIC. It shoved the romulans on their knees and took away most of what remained of their shipbuilding supplies. It also provided huge amounts of data that would further prevent the romulans from ever truly being able to fight the SBIC. However, the escape of the romulan fleet meant that they could spread those ships across their territory, meaning if they retreated fully into romulus, they could have a fighting chance.
== Numbers ==
The attack was medium scale and involved under 400 ships in total.
