Chadwick Station; Legion Ablaze

[Operative Siren]

02-09-827

A massive globule of green plasma zips past the defensive barrier surrounding Chadwick Station. Then another. Then a barrage of magnetically super-charged projectiles. The defensive platforms were active and performing exactly as expected, laying down a rain of hull-tearing fire at the distant hostile battleships. But the Legion didn't return with just vulnerable Arbiters and a handful of fighters. Archer cruisers that had been either salvaged or part of desertions were now lurking in the fight around the station, tangling with two similar assets from the Liberty Security Force.

"Bombing run." The agent mutters into her communications, the unmarked Waran swooping and firing out blast after blast of unstable blobs of barely-contained Antimatter from its dual Scorcher bays. Screaming past the side body of the Legion cruiser, the agent leaves a massive, bleeding gash along the side of the cruiser, venting one deck, and leaving its maneuvering thrusters damaged beyond use, spraying out valuable gas from the reaction control system before damage control came through. The damage was done however, the limping cruiser being preyed upon by the duo that were in defense of Chadwick.

She never did find out where the secondary blast came from. Her waran was kicked away from the exploding carcass of the Legion cruiser, then from her blind spot above her bomber, another explosion threw out her controls, sending the bomber spiraling in an uncontrolled manner back through the defensive shield of the station, and smashing into the side of one of the unfinished hangars, the agent being rendered unconscious in the barely-sealed cockpit of the bomber while the fight raged some kilometers away from the station.
