The Litharian ships took the stray hits in stride one of the HAMMERs losing one of it's guns but otherwise no further critical damage. Returning the favor they continued to release barrage after barrage of plasma into the enemy vessels hoping to break down those damn shields and see what they are really made of. Meanwhile the scouts continued to flank the Cel ships, one was finally in range but wasn't going to reveal itself until it got the OK from the other two. Back on the station, the guns were all set up and ready to fire and fire they did, all the litharians unloaded the full wrath of the station's weapons, only something was wrong. While they had eight under their control only six were shooting. It was in that moment that teams around the central command began reporting invaders were attacking the Litharian and Karadon forces. In response they began returning fire, releasing plasma and sword against the aliens.
