"Sir, heat levels critical!"
"If we overheat, we die. If we retreat, we die later. Scatter formation and self destruct"
"We die for honour!"
The Voidborn fleet scatter their formation directly toward the oncoming Mak swarm with their command ship leading. They begin to overheat and shut down, leaving them vulnerable and hence attacking large numbers of Mal to swarm them - before the ships simultaneously overcharge-detonate their reactors, FTL drives, and thermal energy capacitors in a show of blinding light; destroying all Mak unfortunate enough to be in the substantial blast radius.
Voidborn Fleet Destroyed.
However, it appears their sacrifice simply bought time for reinforcements to arrive unimpeded, some 5 fleet groups split in two divisions. 22,500 light ships array themselves in front with a similar tactic to those before - but the retrofit of these was less rushed allowing them to output even greater volumes of fire. At the rear sit 155 capital ships which appear to have had all of their weapons removed and replaced with point defense, the one exception their blackhole cannon anti-capital batteries, though modified
//Transmission Starts//
"The Mak shall not pass while we still have breath. Death or Glory!"
"We stand by your plan, Effervescent"
//Transmission Ends//
(And before anyone complains I think the strategy of sending more ships is pretty sound considering the Voidborn know what uncontained Mak can do)
(They also got in RP advice to do so)
