(Yes, we are researching a tech called Anti-Gravity Engines. They, in effect, remove all intertia from a ship, allowing it to turn on a time or reverse course instantly without loosing speed. However, this tech is very dangerous, especially if it fell into the hands of the Tribunal. We cannot give you this technology (after we research it) unless you give us some technology which is worthwhile to us. Carnotaur out.)

The Sijak fleet of 700 ships finally arrived in DSN-8209. Now with a total of 1,900 vessels ( not part of the standard defense fleet), the Confederacy was well capable of taking out the Galactica fleet in Emalghion. As another 100 newly built ships arrived, bringing the total ship count to 2,000 ships, the massive fleet set off for Emalghion.
Along the way, they gathered up the trans-phasic bombs in DSN-8209 and the Trans-Phasic Bombs in Kelmoan. Then, tractor beaming them with 20 Ravens, the total 700 Trans-Phasic Bombs were towed through hyperspace into the Emalghion system.
Upon entering the Emalghion system, the Galactica fleet was quite stunned at the massive amount of Trans-phasic bombs. But only a few ships had been destroyed before Galactica activated their gravity wells to repell the Trans-Phasic Bombs. However, it was too late. They were already too close, and there was simply too many of them. Many of the warheads collided, sending out deadly shockwaves into the Galactica fleet.
As the enemy fleet suffered heavy losses, the main Confederate fleet jumped in and opened fire with all their weapons. The enemy fleet, which was already quite busy with the mines, was caught off guard. As the last of the trans-phasic bombs exploded, killing a total of 100 Galactica vessels, the Confederate fleet charged in. Galactica recovered just in time to hit them with a barrage of missiles, hitting the Confederates hard. But they continued on.
Though the Galactica fleet was at the far side of the battle, and normally they would have hit the Confederates hard with massive missile barrages, the Confeds simply used their new Disruption Webs against the incoming barrages, destroying most of the missiles that were fired. Many got through, just not as much as would have normally got through. The Confeds charged, full speed, relatively unhurt by the missile barrages.
The two fleets met in a massive fusillade as dozens of Corsairs and Ravens went straight for the Galactica warcruisers. As most of the other fleet consontrated on the other fleets, five flagships and 20 Aurora Battleships engaged the Galactica warcruisers. Supported by 60 some Corsairs and Ravens, the Galactica capitol ships were hit hard.
As one warcruiser was blow apart by the combined firepower of six flagships, another was swarmed by Auroras and Ravens, and was quickly taken down. A third warcruiser was taken down by both a swarm of ships and flagships. As the fourth and one of the last warcruisers was attacked, the Sijak ships in the Confederate fleet took down practically every single Galactica fighter and bomber that they had within minutes. As Shock Missiles blasted holes in the sides of support cruisers and ghosts weaved in and out of frigates, neutrino rockets soared forward, destroying enemy ship after ship.
In the meantime, work was steadily progressing on the Anti-Gravity Engines and Corsair Upgrade. Another improvement was also made to the Corsair upgrade; an extra Anti-Proton Turret would be added, increasing the deadliness of the already devastating vessel. After the Corsair upgrade, the Confederates were hoping to put together a new design for the Raven, which had, time and again, proven itself in battle to be the most valuable ship the Confederacy had.
