[b]Facility A-1: The Sacrifice[/b]
One of the Captains realized that without this station the Eternal Union was doomed, even with the prospect of Civil War. Whichever side won would need this station and its research to allow the growth and survival of the Eternal Union. Thus he and his crew prepared, for the greater good was calling, and it called for a sacrifice for the good of all. 

The prototype ship dropped it shields, and sent all of its power to its engine and overcharging it's Manafusion reactors and other powersources. All Balefire was prepped to detonate, as well as the remaining anti-matter missiles. Nothing could stop the frigate as it blared across space, flying straight into the Catherdral's collaspe cannon, intent on taking it down before they could fire it. Fighters fell as they attempted to defend the station, but once the other defensive forces realized what was going on they focused all fire on the Catherdral's collaspe cannon as well. Facility A-1 would not fall.

The prototype ship was nearing now, damaged from taking fire without its shields. The last few minutes as the crew prayed to the Eternal Mother.

Then the ship impacted.

The explosion was immense, as magic, balefire, and the remnants of anti-matter annihilation spread across the Ethereal Fleet. The impact was greater then that of the Balefire megaspells used on the Ethereals so long ago at New Condia. Hopefully the ship's sacrifice was worth it. The 1st Fleet dropped nearby as they immediatly began focusing fire on a single point of the Ethereal ship, not spreading it out. The fleet's fighters and bombers joined those of Facility A-1, as the Admiral Iscancoff was already informed of the Captain's sacrifice. They would not let in be in vain, as they fought harder then ever before against the Ethereals.
