A sword strikes
As far as the Icaran population was aware it had been a relatively peaceful year, no major enemy incursions or naval engagements, but what they did not know was that the Royal Navy had detected a fleet of 32 Andoran warships slip into the Kelvalora star system and had sent the 6th fleet and the “Sword of Heaven” fleet to intercept it, the chase had gone on for months as the enemy fleet bypassed colony after colony in a futile attempt to escape, finally Grand Admiral Hallice and the Five Swords had managed to plot their intercept course, and were beginning to enter combat range. The Andoran commander, foolishly arrogant seeing only five ships recklessly plotted his own intercept course and raced towards his Icaran foes.
Grand Admiral Hallice sat calmly on his massive bridge watching the Andoran warships approaching.
“Gunnery Officer Malone acquire lock on the first five warships, tell the other ships in range to lock onto five others and wait for them to get into range of our guns.”
“Aye Sir.”
Minutes passed, minutes, that seemed to go by like an eternity as the two fleets closed the range, the Icarans however had two major advantages, the five swords had the most powerful weapons in existence, as well as standard I-Lasers, the enemy fleet was mainly older destroyers supported by battleships and a dreadnought squadron of five.
“Admiral we are in range of main guns.” The executive officer blurted loudly as the sensor pings sounded.
“Gunner’ open fire all ships in range of the enemy.” Hallice calm voice reddened the face of his embarrassed XO as the gunner passed the message on to the rest of the fleet.
Three of the massive Icaran warships opened fire with their colossal spinal mounted weapons their powerful beams tore across space and connected to the enemy fleet sweeping through fifteen enemy ships, as the beams sliced through hull and armor the fuel and materials the ships were made out of, erupted into a purple plasma ball tearing the ships apart.
The next wave of enemy warships fired their entire arsenals directly into the
Sword of Icara but it’s powerful shield grids simply absorbed the enemy fire, flares of energy arced off the shields as missiles exploded but still no damage to the behemoth of a warship.
The Icaran counter fire proved far more devastating as all five Icaran warships brought their weapons into the fray though several of the enemy ships attempted to retreat it was too late and a single volley destroyed the Last remnants of the Andoran war fleet leaving Icaran space safe once again.
