The Star Dragon, Pt 5
The Corvus Republic ported in with a blinding flash of light at the Sorellus port beacon, along with numerous others all around. Like them, there were all manner of combat ships porting into the area, ready to help defend the planet, and the 5th Fleet.
Besides the Republic, there were a couple of cruisers, a handful of destroyers, and more than a dozen frigates. They were accompanied by a healthy swarm of fighters and mecha - though they numbered less than a hundred total.
In comparison to the massive fleet a few kilometers in front of them, they were pitiful.
Some in the ragtag fleet were filled with raw fear as they saw the Federation’s numbers. They practically died on the spot when the third wave arrived at the front lines, and joined the rest of the ships assaulting the carrier.
Their sensors now counted 13 cruisers, 38 destroyers, and 127 frigates in the orbital station’s airspace. And all of them were hammering the massive carrier.
