Omicron Mu was a battlefield not like any I had seen earlier than. The stress was relentless, and every second felt like a struggle for survival. As commander of the Eclipse Wolves, I knew the stakes, but I additionally knew that the price of failure could be too excessive. The Kusari forces were pushing hard, their fighters and Capital ships swarming closer to Fort Carthage.

From the bridge of the OCV-White-Wolf, I feel the burden of the fight. Our plasma cannons fired with precision, however no matter our efforts, the Kusari forces just kept coming. The battlecruiser’s shields flickered underneath the consistent bombardment. We were retaining our very own, however it felt like we were slightly retaining the tide from overwhelming us.

My bombers—EV/-Sweet.Revenge, EV/-Garrus, EV/-Reden, EV/-VermilionX, and EV/-Ghost—had been in the thick of the fight. each pilot had their orders, however irrespective of how they execute them, the Kusari fighters have been too fast and too numerous. I saw EV/-Reden take a hit, its hull splintering as it was torn apart in a flash of fire. EV/-Ghost wasn’t far behind, burning up in the vacuum of space. Every loss stung, but there was no time to dwell on it. We had to keep moving, keep fighting.

And then came IKN-Hakodate. The Kusari flagship. It entered the battle with its powerful arsenal, targeting Fort Carthage directly.I could sense the power of its weapons from the bridge of OCV-White-Wolf as it unleashed destruction on our defenses. My bombers launched their attack runs, but the Hakodate's defenses were too powerful. It dismissed their strikes as insignificant inconveniences.

That's when the OCV-Hermes and CV-Erickson entered the fray. There firepower beginning to chip away at the Hakodate’s shields. Alongside it, the Gidran-2 joined the fight, turning the tide in our favor. The Gidran-2 cleared the skies of Kusari fighters, and the CV-Erickson focused on softening the Hakodate’s defenses. It was a coordinated assault, and finally, the Hakodate’s shields began to falter.

But even with the Hermes, Gidran-2, and CV-Erickson backing us up, the Hakodate didn’t go down easily. It took everything the Hermes had—long-range fire, heavy ordinance, and sheer firepower—to finally breach the Hakodate’s defenses. When the final missile barrage launched from the Hermes, I thought for a moment that it was all over. Then, the Hakodate exploded in a fiery inferno, its massive core ripped apart by the blast.

It was a victory, but it didn’t feel like one. The cost had been too high. The Eclipse Wolves had taken damages—E\V/-Reden and E\V/-Ghost were gone, and the OCV-WHite-Wolf was battered. We’d won, yes, but barely. The battle was over, but the war was far from done.

I stood there, staring at the wreckage of the Hakodate as it burned in space, and all I could think was that our true test was still ahead of us. Carthage was safe—for now—but the greater fight was just beginning.
