Distress signal

boombox A warning shot, how intimidating... Suddenly a barrage of proton torpedoes and lasers fires right in front of your fleet. A squadron of cloaked Tie Nighthawks attacks your fleet...

(Oh Fuck)

Broadcast:
"Zis shot was'nt meant für you! Ze Bastards of zhe UC have attacked unsere Allis, ze Karagarians. Zis is a Misunderstanding..."

Shields go up, but they don't fire back...

If this wasnt RP with 4th wall comments that could have been catastrophically misinterpreted...

//I think you misunderstand, Thrawn seem to be allied to the UC...//

boombox The shields block most of the lasers but several proton torpedoes manage to penetrate them causing some damage.

boombox I am afraid you have two choices, to retreat or die...

//Do you wish to surrender to our overwhelming firepower yet Admiral Adama (@Alfraks )? Or perhaps you need more than just what our insignia represents to convince you?//
The fleet stops moving away and turns around so that the ships' prows are now facting you fleet, the fighters poised to attack at any moment.

Undated_Abyss Admiral @Alfraks is currently unavailible, so I will command his fleet. We will not go away, that pitiful fleet cannot withstand quality Imperial engineering. The fleet concentrates its fighters to the front of the fleet.

Alfraks

Undated_Abyss i feel you... potato PC... WE WONT SURRENDER, YOU CANT DESTROY THE GALACTICA!

(Cmon, I dont want war with you...)

Broadcast:
"Wir do not want to go to war with you... Our troops are moving right now..."

The cannon jumps, and most of the ships do, just a small observation force stays behind...

Imperial Engineering, how quaint... Try some of our Imperial engineering for size, fools!

Anyway, them there are some cute little ISD's.
(Image for reference only, the ships didnt actually move into those positions)
(Other notes, the larger of my two ships has about 1500 more turbolasers than the ISD)

"Still, since Alfraks attacked our Allies, wir demand justice."
The staying force (one Vernichter and 2 Kriegskutter) have their shields raised, seeing the Shuttle approach...

Alfraks

EpicJp21 You cant command ma fleet ye dickhead 😉

boombox Finally, an opponent who thinks. An Imperial Assault Shuttle heads towards the small fleet.

Undated_Abyss Size isn't the determining factor in a battle, only the capability of the Commander...

It may have more guns, it´s a copy-paste style ship regardless.

Undated_Abyss

EpicJp21
Never said it was, but this ship's real commander is sufficiently skilled.
Size and over 1000 extra guns usually help though...

boombox The shuttle attempt to land in one of the ships.

Undated_Abyss

Drakador_Chaos
At least it has a full interior, unlike the blobs of armour the ISD has..
Also in terms of lore, manufacturing "copy-paste" style components is much more efficient

Drakador_Chaos

Undated_Abyss
Admittedly easier in production, however production errors or weak spots will carry on throughout the entire ship or fleet in this case.

Undated_Abyss

Drakador_Chaos
Easier in production is more important when you have tens of thousands of ships per fleet, especially for minor weakspots compromises must be made. A full fleet isnt even deployed here.

Drakador_Chaos

Undated_Abyss Depends on the type of tactics the faction uses in warfare but you have a point.
