Operation Hammer of Dawn

[Omicron]

Barrier nebula, Magellan

Fedayeen's strike teams holding point

last wing of fighters deployed from Fedayeen joined with rest of the strike package. Mantaining ussual yet always uncomfortable silence except the most important transmissions, all squadrons commited are waiting. First group solely consist of The Order's Onuris light fighters, matching their assigned role to intercept anything that is not one of theirs. Second group however is a mix of Nephthys and Bastets, heavy package to remove any opposition left.

"To all units, total communication and sensor blackout over engagement area is in effect... now." Cruiser's command reported, marking end of preparations as it came to execution of the plan itself. Admiral Golanski monitored everything from Fedayeen's command room as The Order were the only aware of what right now happens within this segment of nebula. Connected now to the fleet, he addresses assembled strike teams. "Strike team 1, move and take your positions. Strike team 2, commence the attack run now."

As intended, speed of Onurises allowed them to take strategical points around installation for interception duty well before Red Talons could even notice assault outfit heading their way. Admiral's only matter to handle was to give an order to proceed with next part of their operation. "Commander Konstantinov, set direct course for the base. All escort remain in formation. Get me a secure link to Starry Ice now."

Having established link with the cloaked transport, contacting director Tainer. "Operation is a go and package has been sent, ETA 2 minutes before area goes hot. Wait until fighters arrive to supress garrison and outposts defenses." Now reaching point of no return, Michal could finally rest in his chair, bringing up reports of other Magellan developments on one of his screens for the last momenths before the storm. "Here goes the thunder..." He says to himself as symbolic fighters achieve firing range on tactical real-time map of the battlefield in center of the command room.
