[b]New Condia:Ground[/b] A team of mages discovered what they believed the Ethereals had come here for. The thing was found via magical detections and sweeps, and they began securing it. All forces moved in to protect it, and they requisitioned forces from the fleet currently resting in space. They began moving out and heading for a extraction point, intent on securing it. Meanwhile Rasis and Skaroth landed in a open field. From a distance ships could be seen gliding from and to orbit, ferrying resources for the battle. A cannon installation was also not far away, launching Balefire at the approaching Ethereal ships. [b]New Condia:Space[/b] The Dreadnought and the 5 large battleships released the shield wall, seizing the opportunity to unleash unrelenting firepower now that the Sazkarjhit had joined them and unleashed a already punishing salvo. The frigates trying to prevent the ships from landing were confused, but they still easily delt with the matrons. The salvo unleashed by the rest of the fleet was huge, everything from kinetic weapons, balefire, and magic lasers. Stealth bombers moved in for another run, as well as the launch of two more Balefire megaspells from the Dreadnought and Battleships. They impacted the Ethereals in a devestating burst. After the salvo hit, a few drop-pods were launched, inbound for the forces attempting to secure the Shard Guide.
