Re: Game Stories
Jameson ordered the fleet into battle line formation. He had transferred his flag to the dreadnought USS Sovereign II-2. Capital ships were ordered to either flank so as to avoid any weakness in the formation.
"The Zedron ships are a mix, sir. One even appears to be a first generation frigate!" Ensign Smith said with a mixture of amazement and contempt.
"Battle line formation. The carrier will stay behind, protected by the Ticonderoga, Decatur and Princeton." Jameson ordered.
Lt. Benson was at Tactical. "The Zedron are moving to intercept, but due to the mixture of engine types and lack of fleet training, they apparently can't coordinate a battle line. One Bangalore III class dreadnought is in range, sir!"
"Open fire!"
The enemy dreadnought never really had a chance. Phased weapons and null space cannons skipped her shields and tore into her. It was over in less than a minute - she never even got a shot off.
The Sovereign II-2 was buffeted by multiple shots. "They're concentrating all fire on us! Shields down to 30%!!"
"All ships target closest vessel. Fire at will!"
The first space battle in the history of the known galaxy was over quickly. The Zedron were grossly outmatched - both sides had roughly comparable technology, but the Zedron had apprently not spent the time upgrading their fleets, and it cost them dearly. No Federation ships suffered any damage.
