"Sir, we are picking up heavy concentrations of Tresh, roughly all around us. They have not spotted us yet, but that's only a matter of time." The radar operator stated with her usual calm. "The really bad news are that our jump brought us within spitting distance of the enemy - if our stealth breaks we'll be done for." There was a noticeable amount of nervousness in her tone as she waited for the captain's orders.

The ANS Fenris was in a bit of a predicament, they had indeed overshot their jump. Not by much, but just enough to be dangerously more closer to the enemy than their own fleet. Still, they had the element of surprise on their side. With luck the enemy would concentrate their firepower on much heavier and larger ships even after the Fenris would be forced to reveal itself.

Captain Calter ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes. "We are closer to Gaia Station than other friendly targets, so we should provide them with what support we can and hope the others can hold their own." He took a deep breath, opened his eyes and straightened up. "Engage thrusters and take us closer to the station. Keep all weapons on full readiness and wait for my signal to open fire, prioritize on high value targets."

The Fenris changed it's course and began closing in on the Gaia Station, the turret mounted rail gun was locked to it's first target - a Tresh ship roughly three times the size of it's assailant. "Sir, we are within optimal firing range of the enemy ship." The turret's operator informed.

Cogs were turning in the captain's head, he wasn't quite sure of the enemy ship's possible weak spots - a fact that made the next part of his plan rather risky. "Navigator, change our approach vector by 60 degrees. Get us under the ship." The Fenris tilted forwards and dove. Minutes passed and the enemy had not opened fire on them. The 'Wolf' allowed himself a little smile as the rail gun began targeting the enemy ships underside. "Open fire, then give us full thrust. We are not going to trade too many shots with that thing if the first shot doesn't disable it."

The rail gun was fired and the Fenris began moving again. The enemy ship suffered heavy damage - the shot ripped through the underside of the Tresh craft and came out from the top from a spot close to what Calter assumed to be the engines. "They are out of the fight." The captain stated triumphantly - his joy was cut short however as two similarly sized ships broke from formation and began closing in on the position of the Fenris. "Well, there goes our surprise... Full power to forward thrusters! Heat up the lances and harass them with the smaller rail guns as the big one is preparing for another shot!"

Captain Maximilien Calter would never quite admit that he bit more than he could chew - he'd admit that he made a minor miscalculation on the size of the enemy though. He'd have to buy time for the turret to be ready again. "Engage jamming! Get us away from their firing range and stay calm." The Fenris began retreating slightly further away from Gaia Station. "ANS Fenris calling available ships, need support, over." Though the smaller rail guns could damage the enemy ships they were not quite effective enough to neutralize the threat. The lances on the other hand would surely give away the position of the Fenris even if they would disable one of the enemy the other one could then strike with impunity until the turret was ready for another shot.
