The Alatyi ship doesn't seem to have detected the Venata warship, regardless of any stealthy measures it isn't using.
The Beacon (Deltas' Endgame) COMPLETED
Fort_Master_Gustav Although Redford's Manhunt of the Kingsmen rages on like a fire, a rather decent force tracks the planet. Using the beam as a guide, they make small, blind jumps till they see the massive space battle. The Group barely enter their long-range capacity for their guns. While this means they wouldn't be able to deal accurate hits on any enemy groups that could attack, the laser cannons mounted on some of the ships shouldn't be able to hit them. Just in case the fighting groups do try to launch a fighter attack, multiple anti-aircraft guns are prepped for any incoming fighters/bombers.

The skeletons watch on from a safe distance, it seems like the one watching through the spyglass is talking to the writer.

The one wildcard, the one Qunit they couldn't contain, couldn't control. F13Y3B. They're still looking for her, of course, but she'll always just be out for a good time. The issue with that being she's clinically insane and has mood swings on steroids. So apparently right now going to the single biggest threat to face the galaxy and doing fuck all useful classifies, by some twisted definition, as "a good time".
She sends a simple broadcast on all frequencies, not caring too much about who listens in.

"Hey... I'm not here to stop you, I'm smart enough to realise that's probably impossible, regardless of what gets thrown at you. So... what's it all for?"

The entire TEF fleet starts to retreat with the Lexington warping out of the system frist
It seems that the on-site forces haven't taken notice of the Redford's fleet as of yet, busy with other combating units in the center. The battlefield seems to be quite a mess, as the beacon at the very epicenter spews unholy ammounts of energy at the surroundings, it's hard to distinguish what happens in the distance, though the Redford's fleet can distinguish at least 50 of the icosahedrons it saw earlier, on the battlefield.
TO BLESS YOU WITH ITS BEAUTY IS OUR ONLY MISSION, IT MAY BE TEMPTING FOR YOU TO WITNESS FIRST-HAND, BUT YOUR VESSEL IS NOT YET READY
Once again, the message percolates through the syzygy of the field and manifestates itself to the Qunit.
The on-site defenses and the drones don't stop their fire, though they don't sacrifice any more units than necessary to sucessfully stave off the whole attack of the TEF.

The energetic beam pulling the planets apart finally complets its mission, as powerful thunder percolates through the dislocated massses, and grabs the entirity of the planet, leaving only a small debris field behind with uninteresting rocks.
Meanwhile, the planetoids were dragged somewhere else, and were now completely different. Connecting the three planets as verticies, they form the image of a triangle as they rotate relative to the center of the galaxy on the outer rims, where the beacon is located. They encompass most of the galaxy within the geometric object's area. The material is deposited by unknown means, as their trajectory doesn't seem all-too-consistent with their original placement, nevertheless, they are slowly reconstructed, though definetly changed.
Fort_Master_Gustav Soon a lot of combe- cough cough combine gunships enters the system
The Venata ships continue their onslaught, while the Harvester moves slowly across the field, consuming the debris, both of battle and what remains of the planet.
The Harvester Opens up, revealing the majority of the Venata fleet, allowing the remaining Shorners to finish off the remaining enemies.

Fort_Master_Gustav Redford's Group records this massive event from afar, though the large amount of vessels arriving start to worry Redford's main groups. Soon, a spotter discovers that one of the ships was a ship design similar to the ones from Jking. Reason left the building on the Commander's Deck.
FIRE!!
Currrrrrrr-clu-clunk (The sound of shells being loaded)
BOOOM
30 Inch shells rocket through space, though range definitely had a factor in inaccuracy. Out of the first 300 shells, only 160 go through. The deltas crack as easy as wet paper being torn apart. The high-caliber guns first volley take down anywhere from 10-15 Icosahedrons, the sides of the shapes being turned into dents, craters, and massive fractures with holes going through the entire vessels.
Further away from the dangers of the battlefield, a small fighter-esque sized ship appears and observes the events from afar before entering cloak. (Just to say I am here)

The cannon fire gives away the position of the Redford fleet. Whilst the operators have no problem in dodging the shells, the facilities, naturally immobile, don't meet the same fate. The mass of the shells is too great to desintegrate in time, and thus, the molten remains of the large-calliber ordinance rips through the masses of metal, organisms and shielding, causing sparkling detonations as they thread along.
The Operators fly erratically, almost impossible to hit them at this range without relativistic weaponry. They dispense their antimatter beams from far away, the distance making them more of antimatter "showers" than focused ordinance delivery.
The shells that go towards the megastructure simply aren't powerful enough to get too close to it, slowly they are atomized until nothing of them remains due to the light of the Beacon.
The final remains of the planets lock into place, the beam of light connecting them to the center of the galaxy clearly visible. The Beacon seems to recognize the completion of the operation, as a thunderous wave of energy starts to pulsate. The first blast throws away the defensive facilities around The Beacon, and the remains of the Child, scattering them around, though still keeping the same centricity pattern.

Fort_Master_Gustav leaving only a small debris field behind with uninteresting rocks

Within Venata ships, a chant begins to rise in a language which can only described as "Incoherent Noise" as the Harvester begins to move slowly towards the enemy fleet, any impacts on the Harvester seems to be nearly ineffective, as the absolutely massive ship prepares to engulf its enemies.

FangTheCat One of the commanders notice that this vessel seems to have organic properties, and the fleet does a temporary retreat. As they get to a safe distance, they change the shells to be incendiary, as these shells usually work with hardy organic material. These incendiary shells pack enough flammable and potent matter to burn down a whole city with a few salvos. Returning back into the fight and at a range where this Harvester would take some time to reach the group, they unleash multiple rounds into it, A vessel this large means all 300 shells pound the creature.
The massive harvester reacts by redirecting the majority of its energy to shields, extending the distance of which they project from the ship and its Strength. Several Condra spires are launched from within the behemoth, impacting the walls, spreading a smooth green biological shell over the ship's front.
(for reference, The size of the Harvester is More than enough to Easily hold the entire Venata fleet, including the 5 new 16km long ships that were amalgamated, with the inside still seeming empty.)
(Although the Venata only have 5 of them. total. and the others are nowhere near here.)
"Do.. Not.. Run.. From Fate."
