Anyways, I made the first IC post a while ago.
At first I wished to detail all the complex things the fleet did to penetrate the neutral zone.
But that'd have taken too much.

To be brief, the neutral zone has bunch of well hidden sensors that are connected to a warning system.
Said warning travels at FTL speeds towards specific points in the border. In these points the FTL jammers don't block the transmission so it can travel normally to a relay which is surrounded by FTL jammers at the distance from anywhere but one direction. Then it received by the next relay the next and the next until it penetrated the borders. This method also ensures that enemy ships can't just use their FTL through the borders even though there are openings in the FTL jammers.
There are also mines and defense systems which were allowed within the neutral zone if they follow some painfully exact criterias.
So bypassing the neutral zone was not easy and especially not without allowing detection.
The reason the Dominion did is because they mapped out the neutral zone and also bribed a number of people to sabotage the defenses.
Nothing too large-scale so this action won't make the Allies suspect anything.

Anyways, now waiting for [@WilsonTurner] to post.
I want to see how would his fleet react here.
I know, I know. No information on the defense net yet, but his post would not feature the attack still.
I'll start the actual battle with my next post.
