Voidborn:
Have you seen these ships before?
They are damn tough

Undated_Abyss ... Due to the massive spectacle, a fleet of the UCW is sent to observe what happens ...

How close by do they get to the fighting?

Jesus3747

Undated_Abyss (They're a Far away, they're just watching, not attacking)

(So sensor range but not weapons range)
Voidborn:
You got any idea who these ships are?
We were coming to investigate this crystal when they came outta these weird pink portals and attacked us!

"These are Imperium of Krolon vessels, they appear to be of Planar-Vultoros in design, our-"
/-TRANSMISSION LOST-/

A massive explosion occurs as a Dauntless class heavy cruiser's slipspace core loses containment, the rapid expansion of the core pulling in several voidborn and ISA ships into slipspace currents exceeding what both can handle

We do not know. But we will provide support to anyone who needs it.

Our conventional weaponry seems to be ineffective, what the hell are the IoK vessels using for protection?
Why do they seek this crystal?

Undated_Abyss
A Bellefontaine Class Light Frigate fires away its ICV-1 Torpedoes, the 10 Gigaton yields of the weapons completely obliterating the IoK Frigate that was bearing down on a Helios Destroyer, the small Frigate quickly gets out of the way of a heavy Las-Lance fire by an IoK cruiser, the large ship taking fire by several Helios destroyers, it's shields go down and the Fusion weapons of the ISA ships begin to raise the hull temperature to thousands of degrees kelvin

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
The IoK respond in kind, with an Exterminatus laslance spearing several ISA ships completely through in a single shot.

yobeefjerky

Undated_Abyss
An Aegis class fires its antimatter projector, spearing the Cruiser that fired the lance

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
The cruisers shields put up resistance, but is finally overcome and the cruiser gets cut in half.
The ship that fired the antimatter projector is blasted apart by concentrated fire following this...
Some of the IoK capital ships have headed for the crystal, where the Voidborn are just about holding them off with repeated blackhole cannon fire.

yobeefjerky

Undated_Abyss
Around 12 Apollo class corvettes move to intercept the capital ships

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
Some IoK cruisers blockade the Corvettes and begin Las lancing them systematically, taking out 2 with the first salvo.

Undated_Abyss

A large glowing orb of energy appears

Any scans directed at it return errors.
Even the errors themselves return erors

yobeefjerky

Undated_Abyss
An ISA backup fleet puls out of slipspace, the 20 kilometer Terra class flagship ramming through an IoK cruiser with ease, its ship-to-ship weaponry obliterating frigates and corvettes alike and dealing massive damage to cruisers, its escort group of 15 Dauntless class Heavy Cruisers and their own fleets of escorts making short work of several IoK cruisers and many frigates

"This is the ISAV Enterprise, we have come to hold the line"

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
The orb of energy directs some sort of beam at the ISAV Enterprise.
The ship appear to have been hit by a massive EMP, even though there was no EMP present.
(Note this is not actually an EMP so EMP protection will not work)
The disabled ship is focus fired by some of the IoK cruisers.

yobeefjerky

Undated_Abyss
The Enterprise's shields reboot almost immediately, the shots from the cruisers meeting a near impenetrable wall of gravitons, the massive ship focus fires at the cruisers, wiping them out in seconds

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
It strangely seems as though the orb just cursed under its breath...
It now projects a beam to its firendly ships.
Their shield strength now appears to be completely off the charts as they continue raining fire down on the other ISA fleets

Undated_Abyss

yobeefjerky
The Orb begins firing beams at the other ships that are smaller, instantly immolating them in an explosion of warp energy.

Undated_Abyss

Undated_Abyss
One of the larger dreadnoughts overclocks it shields.
It begins boosting toward the enterprise with unnatural speed as it tries to ram it.
The ships near the crystal begin tractor beaming said crystal and prepare to warp jump with it
