Ella The destroyer captain was puzzled with the cargo list request, as the ship had no proper cargo hold. So in turn, just the documents about the ammunition, rations, etc. was sent over. The Destroyer detached from the freighter and continued to guard the lone freighter and transport, their course towards the nearest station.
Sir Simon's captain was boastful and egotistical to say the least, but he knew how to activate the guns and lockdown proecdures. As the last of the unidentified craft left the ship and returned from whence the battleship came, the main battery guns opened fire. 10 large emerald-green blasts fired into the approaching fleet, with the secondary batteries unleashing salvos of laser rounds. The shields were put into combat modes, the reactor vents were fully opened, and the ship was sent full-throttle as a charge against the enemy. The Captain of the Simon was utilizing the Main bridge as a kind of loophole, using the primitive Battleship A.I. systems to guide the ship to where it needed to go and what to fire at.
The Sir Simon's guns opened up, with a powerful THOOM , with 5 emerald-green lasers per main gun barreling towards the fleet, with waves of a brilliant blue from the secondary battery. The freighter detected the shots fired, and requested support from the Redford Navy for a hostile Raven-Class Battleship. The transmission about Sir Simon was hastily made, and thus anyone could crack the transmission and figure out what was going on.
