With the enemy mostly defeated, the admiral gives the order to return home, but not before firing a few rounds of antimatter slugs at the remaining Contingency ships, killing or disabling another five or six of them.
Can we get a final tally of the remaining ships?
High Imperium: 2 Dreadnoughts (heavily damaged) 1 Fighter Carrier (damaged) 2 FTL Jumpers, 2 Assault Fighters, 1 Corvette (damaged) 3 Gunbox fighters.
All in all, not a bad rate of exchange for winning a battle like that, I think. Gotta love that we went and pioneered a whole new tactic. I have to say that I had a great time, @DarkPearl I enjoy your good RP, and I think we wrote a compelling conflict between us.
