Bursts of energy rippled throughout the system where colony 4751 was located; a division of the second wave diverted from the conquest of the Sheekh after contact with the Savannah was discovered by the occupying Orakian forces. Pinpointing where the other end of the conversation happened quickly and upon confirmation of the mighty ship's approach, the division was deployed. Now the attacking fleet closed in on the colony. Without its mothership, taking it would be no challenge
Switching the fire mode of the plasma spires, the Haelbram pelted super heated spheres at a rapid rate into the fighters swarming it. A number of explosions went off a distance away from the titanic ship, some of the small ships inadvertently flying into a plasma orb trying to dodge the other blasts, the overwhelming obstacles whittling away at the squadron...
Construction walkers stomped onto the surface now clean of the station debris. The two utility ships that chased the facility down to the surface had long since landed and were now creating another stronghold upon the planet, the walls being erected at an efficient rate. Defending this new institution of war were Orakian ground forces, though the infantry was not what one might expect of the small alien beings. Rather, they resided within slender, white paneled combat vehicles. They were fitted with treads, armor casing reaching around all the around them and stopping mere inches from the ground. From the base was a metal fixture vaguely resembling a Hai'Orak, its arms being fitted with an array of weapons, from rotary guns, ion rifles, and rail gun weaponry. Some had heavy missile launchers mounted on the "shoulders". Each one was the size of a small tank and sported harvesting capability, meaning they could restock their own munitions out on the battle field just by gathering resources from the environment.
