Sirens Strike

[DarkTails]

It wasn't long before the strike squadrons were approaching range, the fighters taking lead to intercept the incoming fighters from Enterprise. The trap was sprung and the crew of Enterprise were in for a battle stacked against them. Soon enough, the fighters would be entangled in a pitched battle.

"This is Siren Leader to all wingmen, the Enterprise has fallen directly into our trap. Engage all incoming screen fighters and clear way for the bombers to fire their EMP bombs to disabled their defenses. Once they're down we'll board the ship and seize it." The fighters wasted no time. Siren Squadron was formed from veteran survivors of the Bering evacuation during the fighting retreat. Although lacking asteroids for cover, it also made the mission easier for themselves.

While the initial wave of fighters was tackled by the Siren fighter wing, the bombers began their attack run. Armed with incapacitator torpedoes and EMP bombs, they began to make quick work of the shielding.
"This is Siren Striker wing to Siren Leader, we've begun our attack run. Their shields are holding but a few passes will change that. Keep those fighters off our backs."

The attack was under way while the shuttles kept their distance, waiting for the shields to fail and weapons to be disabled. Despite jamming the distress signal, there wasn't much time before patrols in Alaska realize the Enterprise hadn't arrived on schedule and start searching. Although a contingency existed for that, the nearby battlecruiser coordinating the mission, it would be preferable to not deal with enemy reinforcements.
