Battle for the inner systems- Asteroid Field
The Phoenix and Hades fleets reached the asteroid field too late the only contacts were wreckage mainly from alliance ships the wraith had decimated the Titan, Hercules and Scimitar battle fleets, but all was not lost the fleet detected small isolated pockets of fighting the fleet captains ordered the fleet to break up and offer support to the remnants of the fleets but the bulk of the wraith armada was already on its way
Mayday mayday, calling all alliance ships we're in desperate need of assistance shields failing hull breaches on 7 decks. we (signal cuts out) from the Pegasus command ship of the joint Scimitar, titan and Hercules fleets�
Move to intercept! captain of the Cerberus
What happened? Pegasus captain.That last shot took out our communications. Helmsmen.Damn it! Divert all emergency power and life support to shields and engines, take us up those hives A-holes full thrust!�
The ship rocked as it set a direct course for 2 hives ship baring down on its position. The ship buckled under the strain as it took fire from the 2 hive ships.
shields down to 4%! The next 2 shots will finish us! Helmsmen.Maintain course, Ramming speed prepare to activate the self destruct! ordered the captain.
The hives prepared to fire when out of no where 4 missiles flew over the Pegasus and slammed into one of the hives causing massive damage, the Cerberus had arrived and positioned itself between the hives and the Pegasus. A volley from the Cerberus energy canons destroyed the first hive while half a dozen alliance ships finished off the second. Similar skirmishes took place across the asteroid belt but with the overwhelming numbers of alliance ships the wraith forces retreated to regroup with the remaining fleet.
Several smaller alliance ships escaped the massacre by hiding in the asteroid field the minerals in the asteroids themselves hid them from wraith sensors but most of the carriers and battle cruisers had been destroyed in the battle and the majority of the fleet had sustained damage
And with the bulk of the wraith fleet approaching due to arrive in less then 30min (consisting of well over 100 hives) things looked grim indeed, the fleet made what little repairs they could and prepared for the endgame
