(Due to the fact that there is no star in the system and I want to keep the consistency of only using the DIE when there's a star, avoiding some of the super-batteries I've come to gather along my way to power it star-less, I'll have replaced the DIE with a much smaller ship which will serve as a lesser foe, though still quite threatening to all parties. Call it the Halmark, 30km end-to-end, powerful shielding and potent guns. The rest of the fleet remains the same as these past few days I've had too much on my plate to think about more.)

FTL'ing outside the field they are met with quite the long passage towards the Delta fleet. However, that does not mean that they are safe from it. Already, some electron beams are fired at the oncoming fleet, together with a screen of napalm-like thermate in large shells, that detonates close to the ships and expands on clouds of 100m of diameter of searing hot material.
A good portion of the ships turn attention to this fleet as well, and soon they have portions of projected shielding facing them.

The thermite's true purpose is revealed, as it spreads about the ship and sticks like napalm oh the ships it has managed to hit, melting exterior equipment and preventing weapons to surface, it slips through the cracks of the armor and fuses barrels together, covering the ships in a fiery mantle and making the interal parts of the ship into a pressure cooker.
The (What I presume) Meson beams hit the fighters and have no trouble in destroying them, as their low shielding seems to surge very little effect, and, as a characteristic of subatomic particle beams, they tend to ignore armor, passing right through it. However, it seems to backfire, as the subatomic particles of many of the beams are influenced by the field itself, not only that, they scatter at the strong electromagnetic forces of the shielding of the larger ships, including the outdated ones, that seem to use the shielding of their more advanced counterparts to protect themselves from harm. There is a high likeliness that any constant-fire matter+antimatter beam would collapse itself due to the field, and thus, destroy the ship fiering it.
Some beams make through, producing surface damage on some ships, whilst destroying others that light up with large plasma detonations.
The RMKs are launched with good effect, some go through the screen of fire created by the thermate shells, desintegrating themselves due to their speeds, most of them are somewhat targeted by laser and beam PD systems, that degrate them greatly due to their speed. The shielding also proves bothersome as it seems to eat the projectile up as it touches it due to a very powerful stream of multi-layered material. The RMKs that make through bore large holes in ships, outright trespassing any armor that was put in place, once again lighting up the formation with a few large plasma detonations, though the formation itself predicted the destruction of a fairly large number of ships, thus, its integrity remains.
All of the damaged or destroyed ships seem to be temporarely swarmed by a number of drones and huge beasts made of flesh, they seem to hastly form into the original shape of the ship and, to the ships that hadn't had a reactor burst, they repair them. The debris of the dead ships seems to be dragged into the large white ships, that consume it within their mass.
The fighters hit by the lasers seem to be destroyed quite easily, the heat of the concentrated laser fire able to bypass the thin layer of ablative material with ease, making casualties on the dozens quite quickly. For the drones, it isn't so lucky, as they seem to be more toughly built, but no match for a collective attack like that, they die in slightly fewer numbers, as their small fusion reactor gives out on a little burst.
The Cyan ships aim their large cannons, a calliber almost as big as the fighters that come towards them, and soon luminous blasts so potent that they create recoil within the gigantic ships are sent towards the tinted fighters, enough to likely desintegrate them completely.
Five oversized railgun rounds are launched towards the enemy ships far back in the formation from the more advanced large ships, they seem to be quite well protected, likely meant to target other capital ships. Though, for some reason, all of the shots were a miss.
Several of the advanced large ships fire triple beams at the enemy, a powerful neutron beam is wrapped around by two equally powerful electron and proton beams. They seem to aim at roughly the center of mass of the enemy ships.
The medium ships continue raining down thermate clouds at the enemy, they explode and expand on about 100 meters in diameter, moving fowards whilst burning, soon to latch onto what it first impacts.
The advanced medium ships fire their cannons, as the shots draw nearby and seem to miss, they detonate and reveal an internal missile system, target at the enemy ships in general, they seem to be fiering EMP warheads.
The Hallmark, a huge ship, turns its large guns towards the enemy fleet and fires a dozen hardlight shells, flung at half the speed of light, before dispensing a swarm of small missiles that, added to the fire of the large ships with their timed nuclear projectiles seems to create a screen of hot plasma influenced by potent magnetic waves, it obscures the fleet.

The experiments, though providing for some good testing, seem to be to no avail. The pattern of the quantum influences are too chaotic to predict, seemingly having no constant within them. As the blasts are sent off to stop them, they seem to avoid it, assuming a different shape, and making a fool out of the state-of-the-art tech of the TATC. Its innate chaotic and changing property, avoiding the enforcing of extraneous influences seems to prevent the usage of technologies that'd manipulate things on a level as deep as quantum though, when scaled up and due to the decohence that the change in quantum and normal scale already imposes, the field smooths out, it is truly a conumdrum:
To properly counteract it, an FTL detection system would be necessary, as to predict the change and react in time to the influences of the field, though the field forbids that.
At a macroscopic and observable level, it seems to smooth out and integrate with normal space, making it impossible to normalize, lest one completely erases normal space as it is on the normal level though, without knowing hte true source and cause of the field, presuming that that'd work is a far shot, perhaps it'd even influence the lack of space.
Extra-dimensional sensors seem to pick up a slightly different story, as they can't really pick up anything but static. In the interim betwen dimensions this noise percolates more violently, disallowing extra-dimensional influences and hence, forbitting the creation of portals and the likes. The static it picks up is as chaotic as the influences in the quantum realm in normal-space, so it seems to be caused by the same influence, though exactly what remains unresolved.
The fleet as a whole seems to dispense a screen of plasma towards the new bipiramid of the TATC, covering itself.
The fleet continues moving towards the star HQ of the coalition, as they soon will meet face-to-face with the SYS-DEF stations that defend it.
On the cover of a large plasma screen projected towards the enemy fleets, they repair their damaged forces, and prepare to continue fire as they emerge after the next post.
The Hallmark ship seems to project a sort of thin, ghostly veil that encompasses the whole direction of the enemy formation forming a screen far away. It also fires many powerful scanner pulses, searching for fusion reactors within the enemy.
All of the ships reload and continue charging up, including the Hallmark, whose main spinal cannons seem to grow a similar, though more potent brightness than the cyan ships.
