The commodant observed the battle with an eagles percission, watching as Cruisers were clipped with laser fire and spun off in crippled wrecks.... Despite the losses, things couldnt be going better... The imperials had been led into a tiny area, all within the one system. The Drones were spread out in such a wide net around the Imperials that they had room to dodge almost any incoming shot with ease....
The missiles didnt stand a chance, they had such a long journey that the drones could easily pick them off before they got close. The commodant's thoughts were disrupted by a shrill alarm "enemy weapons discharge detected" A white crosshair locked onto said shot, growing deeper red as they projectile zeroed in. The Commodant quickly analised it, seeing it as laser fire, then rolled to the side simply.. a few moments later the laser burst roared past harmlessly...
Intrigued, he zoomed in on the ship responsible, one of the fabled Star destroyers, spitting lasers in all directions...
Two shells suddenly hammered into the destroyer's side, the shells tearing through its armour and detonateing within its hull.. A rippleing orange explosion eatting its way through the ship, causing such severe structural damage that the ship begun to tear itself apart with its own movements...
The Fighters were being torn out of the air by the Drone cruisers, the ships spidery limbs sending auto cannon bursts sailing into their formations and tearing them down by the tens. The cruisers were something that annoyed the commodant. Despite their strong sheilds, the Star destroyer's weapons were eatting through them and blowing off weapons like a child picking the legs off an insect. He had hoped they would get in closer and do more damage, maybe off load some Sentinals... The larger Drone ships were fareing better. The Longbows were simply taking rounds rather than dodging, off loading huge hailstorms of missiles towards targets, each missile basicly being a suicide drone. Their GPC's were dealing with smaller threats mostly, the huge glowing balls of energy thudding against enemy shields and exploding, giant blue clouds of burning hot plasma and radiation licking around the shields surface trying to find any sort of imperfection or crack to settle in...
Another Disingergration pulse seared through the battle field, sinking into the side of a Broad side Cruiser, cleanly cutting it in half... The Harbringers were doing their jobs....
It was interesting how effective convetional projectiles were against the Imperial shields, like they were mainly designed with heat and energy weapons in mind. The cruiser's auto-cannons seemed particularly effective...
