EpicJp21 On their way back to the reactor, the crew notice a swarm of parasites that fill the corridor, blocking their path. The parasites are moving quickly toward the crew, apparently with hostile intent.
Tickytickytango One of the crew remembers that the backup generators also have the panel, so the run firing behind them.
EpicJp21 You suspect that the backup generators will not cause as large an explosion as the primary reactors, but with the swarm fast approaching, it may at least make a dent in their numbers. Opening the panel of the backup generators reveals another parasite feeding on the power.
Tickytickytango The crew attach all of their small controlled explosives, as its part of the basic rescue gear for many reasons... The send a voice file to their families and detonate the explosive...
EpicJp21 The explosion goes off just as the parasites begin crawling over the generator. Most of the parasites become purple goo. The last few parasites are sucked into space. One of the crew members survives the explosion and manages to hang on until the emergency bulkhead seals the breach. There are likely more parasites on the station and the main reactor would surely finish this.
Tickytickytango The rest of the fleet tells the one crew member that if he can make it to a Y-Scout he can escape, leaving the station to be blown up by the fleet.
EpicJp21 Fortunately, the docking port is not too far, and the crewman arrives without any resistance from the parasites. But that's where his luck ends. The Y-Scouts seem to have some parasites leaching their power, 1 per ship.
EpicJp21 The fleets stay a considerable distance away from the Collective force making its way to the asteroid field. The three scouts guarding the first beacon move on to the second beacon, and then regroup with the anomalous fleet. When they do, however, the malfunctioning DC ships stop completely, and go into defensive positions. Their weapons are charged and shields are active, it seems the damaged look was just for show.

Now the "!" sign is repeating, and shows no sign of stopping.
RandomCommander The commander calls in for 2 Elite Super Starhawks to the opposite side of the asteroid field for support, and the fleet to also go into a defensive stance.
EpicJp21 The situation is tense, both fleets are on the defensive waiting for someone to fire the first shot... but that moment never came. Eventually the "!" sign stopped transmitting and the Subcore of the anomalous fleet turned towards the area where the F.I.G. Outpost is located, then turned to the reinforcement Super Starhawks, then back at the fleets trying to herd them.

RandomCommander The commander calls in 2 hidden squadrons of Y-Scout bombers (3 per squadron) to attack He then orders the fighters to attack while the cruisers support them with fire.
RandomCommander 7 Ships leave HS in between both fleets, facing weapon on the Explorers. They hail the F.I.G.: FIG, we are not allies, your mind over outside tech bother us, but this are the same ships that attack us and the recent contact with the "Real" DC, we decided to aid you.

EpicJp21 The Subcore seemed to be taken by surprise...
((I cannot run the battle as I do not have my desktop computer right now - which is the one I have the Rogue ships on. I will try to remember to run it later.))
DarkPearl The cocky commander says,"Although unnecessary your assistance is appreciated".
RandomCommander That's fine, I can't run it either cause I'm at school.. But definitely later.
EpicJp21 and i... eh.
Tickytickytango He knows if he can't get out he's done for, he straps up and detaches the Y-Scout without closing the vacuum sealed door, speeding towards the hanger of a Super Starhawk.
@EpicJp21 @DarkPearl
The Fleets are in position:
Learning from their encounter with one set of rogues, the F.I.G. Are not going to go down so easily with this next set of rogues! Seeing that they are surrounded, the Main fleet moves to defend against every threat. The Beacons even gain reinforcements, 2 Heavy Fighters for each beacon! The Zankarans are also on their way, but this battle has already begun!
((Results of the battle will come soon!))
EpicJp21 The crewman survives the trip. When checked there is no trace of the parasite on the Y-Scout. The ships open fire, obliterating the station and ending the threat.
The End ...?
The F.I.G. know the importance of their Y-Scout bombers, so they put them behind the Super Y-Scouts as they charge into the main fleet Unfortunately, they discover that these ships have missiles of their own Fortunately, they do very minimal damage... ...and the F.I.G.'s missiles are more numerous They are also more deadly, as they easily tear through a Light Scout. The main fleet has ships with weapons in a 360-degree radius, meaning they can target multiple enemies at once. It proves to be difficult for the Y-Scouts to avoid fire. Meanwhile, the Y-Scouts that went for the Beacons are losing badly - the Heavy Fighter ships are equipped with a sort of Plasma beam weapon which is cutting through the armor like butter. The Super Starhawks move in, hoping to alleviate some of the beating the Y-Scouts are receiving. Soon the Elite Super Starhawks will arrive at the main fleet and deliver a crushing blow to their battleships. Some Enemy Strike Craft stray from their bigger ships in the main fleet... The Elites demonstrate that they too have beam weaponry, and are not afraid to use it. Along with a flurry of missile weaponry. Suddenly, the Zankarans enter the fray... ...But somewhat distant from the fight.
@DarkPearl What will your fleet attempt to do?
RandomCommander Definitaly doing better than last time, especialy for a vanilla faction.
RandomCommander (Sorry for the late) The Zankaran warships haven't received the news about the "rogues", this led them to open fire on the subcore, if you wish, the subcore can try to convince them about the current status.
RandomCommander ugh how do i even make screenshots like these???
RandomCommander It still looks awesome😃
