Battle of Ninov - Aggressive Reconnaissance Sakoor

The Sakoorans would once again find themselves back onboard their ships, preparing to launch for the edge of the system. A priority communication awaited Admiral Talsan when she returned to her flagship. From Captain Talbert.

“--The S.R.S. Integrity has been transferred to your taskforce. Captain Ramon is standing by for your orders; she should check in with you as soon as possible. My forces are moving to engage the enemy. If we complete our objectives before you complete yours, we will rendezvous with you in orbit of Ninov VIII. Fair winds and following seas, Admiral. ~ --”

The titanic Saharian battleship in the backdrop slips into lightspeed, a flash of dark blue as the vessel disappears in the blink of an eye. As moments pass, more ships vanish alongside her…

Battle of Ninov - Aggressive Reconnaissance

"Well, let's not keep our Saharian Allies waiting." Talsen stated before switched to a broadcast. "All ships, ahead full!"

Almost immediately after the Saharians departed, the Alignment forces went into FTL, ready to prove themselves in combat.

Close to the planetoid of Ninov VIII, the Sakooran vessels slipped out of FTL, immediately falling into a defensive position.

The Resolute, in all her pride and glory, flew alongside the Integrity. As the main damage dealers of the taskforce, protection of these two ships was of the upmost importance. The Light Carriers fell into formation as the group's second line, bolstered by the Nautilus corvettes for anti-fighter screening. The two fleet tenders fell in line behind the cruisers, with one assigned to each. Making up the outermost line was the Liberator picket ships and their gunships, being the first line of defense. Hornet and Saber fighters were immediately deployed upon exist, swarming across the flotilla like gnats. Most of them were on escort duty while some had been sent ahead of the main fleet to act as recon.

"Contact the sensor station." Talsan ordered. "Let's see what we're up against first."

The Third Battlegroup made a beeline towards the station as the Sakooran comms officer sent out a hail. "Sensor station, this is the A.S.V. Resolute leading the Third Battlegroup. We have come to assist in the defense of the sensor array as well as evacuate personnel."
