"commander, I have the scans you requested. The cruisers have no registration, or names, and we hacked into the Blossoms computer system, It has been renamed the Den and is carrying nearly two hundred thousand passengers and over five thousand landing craft."
Sikaris bit his lower lip, that was surprising news whoever controlled the Blossom was using the ship as a mass troop transport. This wasn't good, if neither the Blossom or the cruisers had IFF's or registrations that meant they were either pirates or mercenaries. Sikaris guessed the cruisers were pirates while the Blossom was controlled by mercenaries. He didn't think that any pirate organization could take control of a ship like that, let alone have that many troops on it' pirates didn't get along with anyone not even other pirates, they usually formed small individual gangs, that used a single ship, what had been done to the blossom had filthy rich corporation written all over it. but still hwat were these ships doing here hiding? why would there be a mass troop transport in this area? Sikaris could only think of one thing, they were reinforcements to whoever the Funebrarans were fighting down there. He knew they weren't allies or else Arkoss would have told him.
The ships started to move away from the moon and towards the planet
" follow them, keep close two thousand meters" Sikaris ordered
"sir they will reach the atmosphere in fifteen minutes, the cruisers are taking an orbital trajectory, the carrier is preparing to go atmo"
"hail them" sikaris said "but keep all stealth systems engaged"
The ships didn't respond. Sikaris was sure that these were not friendlies.
"call everyone to battlestations, arm the main cannon, raise both shields and increase speed and set a course to intercept the nearest cruiser." Sikaris was worried, these cruisers had twice the armor and twice the armament of the revenant, and he didn't know if the Blossom had any fighter craft onboard, if she did the were all screwed, bad.
The Revenant quickly caught up with a cruiser which was lagging behind the others."fire the main cannon, target their engines, lets see if we can take it out in one hit." The ship slowed down drasticcaly as the cannon fired a blast of magnetic energy, that quickly traversed the distance between the two ships and ripped the cruisers back half into pieces. a cheer went through the bridge as the command crew witnessed the savage strike. The cruisers core, which was heavily damaged by the shot soon went critical and blew the rest of the cruiser to pieces.
"one down five to go, we may be able to get three maybe four shots before they spot our ship, then we will have maybe two before they visually target us." Sikaris said, He was the only one that didn't cheer at the oblideration of their enemy, he was to busy thinking of what to do with the rest. This was not going to be easy
