Fleet Command deploys the modified cruiser (already nicknamed the Hot Dog Stand among the strategic planners) to attack an isolated battlegroup already being harassed by your own frigates.

Deployment of the Hot Dogs goes smoothly and panic ensues amongst the enemy as your creations plough through enemy patrol frigates. Said frigates are powerless to defend themselves as their return fire is absorbed by your plasma shields.

Unfortunately a lucky hit from the enemy command cruiser knocks out your drone control module before the Hot Dogs can close with the enemy capital ships. Without guidance from a human commander the unmanned corvettes default to simple programmed behavior patterns; either attempting to return to base or blindly attacking the nearest enemy.

From there it is a simple matter for the Raihan escorts to out maneuver the corvettes and shoot them in their unprotected rears. The Hot Dog Stand is destroyed in an artillery duel with the enemy Ryu class. Only a handful of Pact frigates managed to escape the battle.
