ACTION: Pulse Lasers strike down a squadron of bombers in the void. Plasma torpedos erupt into the hull of 'Harrower', ending the ship's life.

Immobilizer 'Harrower'
-Hipoints: 0 (-5)
-Shielding: 0
Immobilizer 'Iridescence'
-Hipoints: 10
-Shielding: 3 (-2)

EMPIRE: We've lost an Interdictor!

ACTION: Fighters clashed. Though for all the inequality in the numbers now present on the field, the underdogs find their way to holding out, diving below oncoming fire, setting some enemies alight. But not all of them. In equal measure, however, they do perish.

FIGHTER THEATER: 5x TIE/sa squadrons, 1x TIE/ln squadrons. 5x Space Banshee squadrons, 6x Seraph squadrons. The Covenant is dominating the Fighter Theater.

EMPIRE: We won't let him down for this. We owe it to our Admiral. (Sacrificed shielding.)

Procursator 'Majesty'
-Hitpoints: 22
-Shielding: 7 (-10)
Procursator 'Peacemaker'
-Hitpoints: 18
-Shielding: 11 (-10)

EMPIRE: Our Procursators no longer have enough power to sustain Afterburners. (Afterburners fade.)

ACTION: The ghoulish hues of Turbolasers bite into the sides of the enemy, pounding their shields away. Both fleets lie in critical condition. Victory is yet within both hands, waiting to be grabbed and taken. (+10 from Base Delta Zero) (+6 from Punishment damage) (Punishment no longer applies.)

COVENANT FLEET FLAGSHIP - : Kerel-pattern Assault Carrier 'Opulence of Distance'
-Hitpoints: 26 (-10)
-Shielding: 3 (-15)
CCS-class Battlecruiser 'Piety and Bravery'
-Hitpoints: 15 (-4)
-Shielding: 2 (-9)
CCS-class Battlecruiser 'Sword of Truth'
-Hitpoints: 20 (-3)
-Shielding: 9 (-10)

EMPIRE: We've just learned that our concentrated bombing effort is directly impacting three points of energy generation within the enemy flagship. If we can destroy those key reactor points, we will finish them off quickly. All bombers, attempt a short U-turn maneuver. (BOMBING RUN: COMPLETED. NEXT RUN IN 1 TURNS)

COVENANT: The hour is at hand, Fleetmaster... They are bleeding profusely from their wounds. It is a wound asking for a sword to widen the gap further. To sever it from the rotten flesh of apostasy it grows from! GUIDE US, NOBLE ONE!

HAZARDS: The Covenant is blind to the asteroid coming their way... (UNGGOY-OVERSEER: You are charged with handling this measure. Roll a 1d10 for hazard traversal, DOD: 5)
