Re: TDM vs P&N
2420.2:
Phoenix has nearly completed her metamorphosis, but the Vaxin fleet has arrived.
Seven BattleCruisers and five Light Cruisers approaching in tight formation.
The vaxin fire first, from well outside the weapons range of the dominion ships. Phoenix is hit once, but her new shield-armor easily absorbs the blow.
The Vaxin close in, and target Phoenix with their short range cannons. She is struck twice amidst the hail of plasma bolts, shields down to 70%.
Dominion Hummers open fire on the nearest Vaxin ship, a light cruiser, but the small ship is able to weave through most of the shots.
Phoenix strikes a blow, and the weak defenses of the LC are disabled. The other two Furies spray shells, but between them only manage to shear off the non-functional shield generator.
Concentrated Vaxin fire hammers Phoenix in return, burning away the shields, and melting her armor into goo.
Her parting shots cripple the LC, and Phoenix limps away from the battle.
Dominion ships bLast away the shields on a Vaxin BC, and the Vaxin unload more fire at Phoenix.
Nearly unrecognizable, and unresponsive, the Phoenix tumbles away on her initial course.
Another exchange of weapons fire scores light internal damage to a Vaxin LC, and heavy damage do the defenses on one of the Hummers.
Soon, the Vaxin LC is disabled, and the shields on a second BC collapse, in exchange for the Last of the shield-armor on the Hummer.
A second Hummer is savaged by acid and plasma, for light internal damage on a third Vaxin BC.
The Vaxin are winning the battle, so the Capture ships are called to the front.
The Vaxin ships close in, and pound the two damaged Hummers into scrap, but the capture ships drive forward amongst a hail of DUC fire. The Vaxin leader's shields collapse, and Medusa's troopers storm aboard. The Vaxin ship bursts into a nova as the selfdestruct sprays an antimatter mist. One of the crippled Hummers, and the Wasp class escort ram a nearby BC, and through the holes stream more marines. FOOM! another Vaxin ship erupts. The Last capture ship dives through the enemy fleet to grapple with the Last unshielded Vaxin ship, and it too erupts in flames.
The remains of the Dominion fleet fall back as the enraged Vaxin forces charge. The second Last Hummer falls to a blaze of fire, while the lead Vaxin's shields fail.
Crippled hulks are vaporized as the Vaxin pass, but the three remaining Dominion ships continue to resist. The lead BC suffers armor failure, but continues on.
Long range Acid globs begin to impact the armor of the Furies, while the return fire remains locked on the BC. The Vaxin BC has absorbed immense damage, but continues forward with what few weapons remain operational.
Finally, the Vaxin BC loses engine power, and falls behind.
On the run, the three dominion ships spray fire wildly behind them as the Vaxin LC slings plasma into the rear hulls, and the larger ships hurl Acid globs like artillery.
The LC's shields and armor collapse, but not before one of the furies has been stripped of defenses. It manages to power ahead, and leaves the other two to defend alone.
The Dominion ships reach the edge of the sector, and dish out Heavy internal damage to the LC before pulling out of the combat zone.
