Rolled 78 (1d100)

You smirk with mirth as several of your corvette and destroyer captain make their case to allow them to move out and join the fight some are simply bloodthirsty of course but several make it clear they think the Essex's strike group could be at risk as their hit the enemy in the side without friendly ships to draw fire. The captains cheer as you give them the go ahead to push out and hit the enemy before their main guns come into extreme range of the carriers and cruiser. They do a fantastic job of moving in formation even as the first of the long range laser fire flies from the enemy Battlecruisers the fire doesn't last all the long though as they are soon distracted by all 24 of the remaining strike craft starting their torpedo run. Your pilots make the dangerous decision of ignoring the enemy's corvette and Heavy cruiser screen instead focusing on the battlecruisers. The flashes of torpedoes detonating light up the void for a few moments as the battlecruisers are struck by at least two of the small torpedoes each only two of battlecruisers survive this strike the others becoming faintly glowing wrecks as their reactors irradiate them.
