It was a mistake to get close to the R-UPA ships. Short range machine guns appear from under covers as does shotguns. They swing around and start tearing through the swarming ships. Meanwhile, the rocket barrage has stopped and the Beam Cannons switch to Burst Fire mode.

Now, with the concentrated energy of the Beam Cannons, the shields of the larger ship begin to fall....

The fleet responds back.

Transmission Starts.

Lara: “I see... Sad to hear, we just want to help, yet we are denied everywhere we go thanks to events in the past.

Hope you will see us differently in the future.”

There is sarrow in the voice of Lara, but she stands with pride.

Transmission Ends.

A purple portal opens, but they wait a bit.

@Brank

(They hunt Nil down as well, since the leader, Nuro, hates him as well, your faction could ally them, and hunt him down together, wich seems possible.)

The captain of the heavy cruiser watches the portal open, and sighs.

"Well, I'm glad Chaze is about to give his speech."

Reeling, the Dawn fleet nevertheless holds firm in the face of overwhelming betrayal and loss. A single transmission goes out across the star system.

"HERALD THE ENDLESS DAWN, FOR WE ARE ITS HARBINGERS!"

The fleet begins to return fire, waves of MAC needles and cannon shells tearing at the foe. The two capital dreadnoughts, their armor scarred and chipped, come about, reaching claws of lance batteries carving out across the foe. And then the dreadnoughts begin charging hyperspace energy around their main jump rings....

Since the two Polaris battleships were assigned to defend the Tau, they make an important maneuver and turn to their broadside, missile bays and tachyon gun batteries now facing the ships. Without warning, a missile volley is sent into the side of a larger ship, tachyon rounds striking its shield at FTL speeds, although they take time to reload. Regular turrets continue to fire, slowly draining its shields...

That was a Mistake.. MAC's Aim at The Ships, and Volleys Fire constantly, Tearing though anything that looses or has weakened shields...

Namek

Brank (Oh... Understandable I guess. Namek read it wrong.

Thought they could be angry cuz he left the Order. Welp! No alliance there it seems.)

The R-UPA ships hold their ground, the MAC needles barely doing anything to their vastly improved armour. A few direct shots tear through some of the Vanguard gunships and Annihilator Frigates, destroying them, but they are few and far in-between.

The R-UPA Fleet Commander sees the jump rings charging up and immediately yells,

"FOCUS FIRE ON THOSE JUMP RINGS!"

Immediately, the rocket launchers swing around, but they are loaded with a different payload....

Streaks of yellow light charge out of the Cruisers' rocket launchers, too fast to be targeted with point defence systems and too fast to be blocked by shields. Most of them miss, but a few lucky shots hit the jump rings of one of the dreadnoughts, exploding with such force that the rings are almost torn away. The first dreadnought's jump ring has taken critical damage, but the R-UPA ships are out of rockets....

Above the Antares dreadnought...

Eight men sit around a bright blue holo-projector in the dim war room, checking statistics of the battle and giving orders to the rest of the ship while crew run back and forth through the long corridors...

"Jumping energy building up on a Syndicate dreadnought?"

"The enemy could be planning a retreat... after all, they're stuck in a tight position and cannot hold on for much longer."

"I believe that activating an interdictor of some sort is our best chance here."

"But I don't think we have an-"

"Just call for an ally, dammit. We don't have much time."

<Transmission to all Allied Forces>
"Warp energy signature detected aboard larger Ascendant vessels. Hyperspace, to be specific. Do any of you have an anti-jump method?"

Several MAC needles prove to be ineffective against the Republic's second gen. warp shielding, dealing some damage to the shield before being redirected to the fleet's core, striking a dreadnought and other ships at the same speed as they were going before. It isn't long before the shields of one Polaris-IV fall, MAC needles and lances slicing through its hull and knocking off a good portion of its front, disorganizing numerous crew members. Several smaller Republic ships including corvettes, escorts, and gunships are pulverized in the process.

The other Polaris-IV battleships that remain circling the AD fleet continue to fire at the foe, launching another volley of missiles and incendiary explosives...

"Focus fire on jump rings, keep them from doing whatever they're going to do."

The Voidborn ships are content to exchange fire with opposing forces rotating frontline ships frequently, resulting in almost no hull damage to the larger ships, the occasional unfortunate frigate getting taken out. As the AD ships charge gravity rings they are seemingly ignored, although by this point the primary batteries of the capital ships are ready, the battleships and dreadnought unleashing a fearsome salvo into the opposition with their black hole cannons, the shots themselves smashing through smaller ships in their path, finally hitting the shields of the AD dreadnoughts, the warpfield cone at the head of the projectile giving it the ability to cause severe shield penetration. Those that cannot get past the shields detonate on the shield, leaving a gravitic singularity sat on the shields, while those that do penetrate do so, before exploding half way through the dreadnoughts, shredding modules and begining to tear the ships apart with the extreme gravitational forces
(Edit: for clarity I should point out these are not full sized black holes, their Schwartzchild radius is only 1km, small for a black hole)

A Zerg Leviathan Turns, It 'Screeches' and Then It Charges Forward. A Part of it gets within Range, and then It Explodes In an Acid That Passes Through shields, but Doesn't doo much damage other than Slowly eating away at the Fusion armor...

Unstable and flickering, the captain of the dreadnought still manages to keep the ring operational, and synched with the other dreadnought. And then both rings activate with a howling roar somehow heard even through the vacuum.

Behind the defending fleets, a vast rippling gash in reality tears itself open as whirling tendrils of sapphire hyperspace energy bleed through. From that tear emerges a second Dawn fleet, led by four massive Prophet - class dreadnoughts. Also with them are two further Jericho dreadnoughts for a total of four. The assembled forces here represent a massive investment on the part of the Dawn, but even more terrifying than the dreadnoughts is what accompanies them...

For in the heart of the fleet are five roughly diamond-shaped ships, clad in armor and shielding, cast in the shape of a nightmare that once tore the galaxy apart and consumed the Old Imperium...

Also with the fleet are more normal-seeming engines of war, with several hundred RKV carriers coming about and firing rows of near c durasteel projectiles.
