OOC: Ipvicus, don't count out the Deimos of a battle that quickly. Only 3 Deimos warfrigates left? Give me a break. There'd be at least 5 warfrigates left and would really beat up your fleet. And btw, it's Deimos, not Diemos.
------------------
Carnotaur, upon hearing that the Pelagon system was under attack, quickly ordered the attack. "All warships, immediately head towards the Pelagon system and engage Confederate warships! I repeat, all Lethean, Mercenary, and Pirate ships; engage the Confederate fleet at Pelagon!"
"Sir, the mercenaries have already jumped out."
"Very well. Follow them immediately. They can't fight the Confeds for long...
The 7th and 13th fleet were quickly reorganized and hyperspaced out along with the Pirate fleet...
Deneb ---> Tryvin ---> Regulus ---> Pelagon
-------------------
Jumping into the Pelagon system, the huge Lethean and Pirate armada bore down on the much smaller and weaker Confederate fleet. The Morpheus Bombers lead the charge, releasing all their space-bombs into the midst of the Confeds before turning around and heading the opposite direction full-speed.
The wave of bombs hit the Confeds hard, practically annihilating the first wave of fighters and taking out many capitol ships. As carnage raged through the enemy fleet, the Jadzians and Lethean fleets (minus the bombers who were far away) charged in while the Pirates continued to hang back, providing support fire. With their new Deimos Frigates, the Letheans ripped through the still disorganize enemy line. Hundreds of proton bolts tore through shield grids and turned armor to dust. The forward firing capacity of the Deimos was practically unmatched, as was the Ravens power. Launching all their missiles first at the Confederate Cruisers only, the Ravens then began to simply massacre the enemy fighter wings. Their turning was rivaled by none, and with 6 Proton cannons, they could cause immense amounts of havoc. They were also incredibly well armored and shielded, and their lightning-fast regeneration rates made them practically invincible.
The Pirates now also charged in as the Confeds continued to take heavy losses. The Letheans also used a simple and effective strategy; if you are about to die, kamikazie the nearest enemy ship. Many Jadzian Lightnings and Lethean Rapiers met their end that way, ramming into the hulk of an enemy warship. One Lethean Corsair rammed straight into the bridge of an enemy Cruiser, destroying it and several enemy ships nearby in a huge fireball.
The Morpheus Bombers were now rearmed and ready to go, and charged into the Confed fleet as the other friendly ships backed off. Releasing the rest of their space bombs, the bombers caused massive amounts of havoc among the Confederates before they turned around and retreated full-speed. The bombs had been especially targetted at the Cruisers, one of which finally blew up as some Deimos Frigates moved in to finish it off.
The Confederate fleet was now not only horrendously outnumbered, but also outgunned and surrounded, and taking extreme losses to the combined fleets of the Letheans, Pirates, and Jadzians...
