Light Flickered across Captain Wikan's features as another EA warship erupted in a massive fireball. "Sir, Stormhound three is making it's attack run on Dionysus" a voice from the Tac pit chimed out. "Lock Battery Alpha on Dionysus. Prepare support fire!" Captain Wikan spun around to his Exec. "Fire when you get a lock!" After staring intently into his Tactical Display, the Executive officer suddenly barked "FIRE!!" From the bow of the Massive EA Carrier Bellerophon, a spear of Coherent Particles leaped across the void and ripped into the hull of the loyalist Carrier. "It's a hit!! SH-3 is in the pipe!! They are taking casualties!!" Captain Wikan grimaced has the display showed the savaged remnants of the squadron regrouping after the defensive fire had taken it's toll. "Sir , Dionysus hull integrity near 50%! Probable loss of maneuver control and at least one Starfury bay is on fire!!" Captain Wikan was about to issue a new set of orders when the Radar intercept officer yelled out, "NEW CONTACTS!!! BEARING 180 AT EXTREME RANGE!!! IDENTITY UNKNOWN!!!" Bolting from the command chair, Captain Wikan muttered "What the hell?"
