The Saharian heavy fire splashes down on the Heavy Cruisers shields and punctures through in some places causing severe damages to their armor and hull. The Heavy Cruisers respond accordingly, and begin targeting the Viskova Battlecruisers and the Sern Starhold. Three of the Heavy Cruisers focus the Starhold, and begin unleashing their long range armaments upon it, focusing even more of their batteries on it as well as launching Concussion Missiles at it. The other four Heavy Cruisers follow suit, evenly splitting their fire between the two Saharian Battlecruisers.

The Heavy Frigates form their own battle line, firing on the Saharian Battlecarriers, Heavy Cruisers, and Light Cruisers. While the Light Cruisers enter range with their rush and throw whatever armament they have at the Saharian ships, seemingly subscribing to the “everything but the kitchen sink” style of warfare.

The incoming armaments of the hostile ships explode vibrantly beyond the Saharian ships. The bright, resplendent blue flashes of the Starbase’s shields stop the incoming munitions dead in their tracks. The Sern Starhold’s extended shielding array caught every bit of the incoming fire, sacrificing its own shield strength in order to leave its escorting fleet utterly untouched…

“Our shields are still holding, Commander..!” an officer announces eagerly. “Enemy ships closing fast,” another immediately follows.

“We need to discourage them from being so bold. Restrict fire to the closest enemy cruisers; order our own ships to divert power from their own shields to weapons - overclock their batteries if they have to!”

Thus, the Saharian ships and starfighters seem to be content cowering behind their station’s powerful shield. The ball was still left in the attackers’ court - they must either bet on being able to break the station’s shield with fire from a distance, or attempt to close the gap and pass through the bubble-shield…

Meanwhile, the outnumbered Saharian capital ships and starbase main-battery begin to pummel the rushing light-cruisers. The starfighters are on a tight leash, ready to pounce furiously on any enemy which threatens the fleet at close range…
