The acknowledged boarding forces are transported into the Trader-Class "Shuttle," if you call a pretty spacious frigate-sized ship capable of being retrofitted on-the-fly such a thing. The rooms for the TTE soldiers are pretty standard conditions - sustenance-focused replicators, comfortable sleeping rooms, holo-video entertainment, even the service provided by the Slave-AI androids are top-notch. It's hard to tell if they are simulated templates or have actual souls within their metal bodies. Their neighbors, on the other hand, have had major accommodations and changes made to their designated living spaces, and they are pretty noisy for large, blubber-filled creatures. Other than that, their drones are mostly compatible within the storage and recharge bays of the Trader-Class ship - it's like they care much for the drones as they do the Terrans.
Also of note, some Assault-Class Slave-AI androids have occupied a space - 3 squads of about 25 androids each, with various weapons and devices. The Coordinator-type Android, a giant tri-pedal warmachine of a robot labeled "ANDOVN," represents this contingent of the boarding battlegroup.
A small segment of the Assault-Class fleet join up with the bombers from Charlie group, screening the bombers as they barrage the enemy formations and draw the fire of the Edar battleships. September-Rising's Light Cruiser at the front took a sustained focus-fire attempt with major damages, but was saved by the two frigates that screened it, which were destroyed in the process. The Cruiser started going in reverse, gravitational impulse engines working hard to keep the main part of the cruiser facing the enemy, attempting direct Rift-Lance strikes at the biggest threats that overload shields and disintegrate large sections of hull at an atomic level.
The Distraction is underway, the Trader-Class freighters begin preparing some sort of short-range spatial-warp drive as they maneuver to the middle of all allied fleets. Looks like the freighters can be more than just freighters...
