Battle-Commander Krux leaped atop the Cockpit of his custom Warrior 002 class Starfighter, with 200 other Hexanagallion's watching his every move as he stood above them. With their statuesque size, and atop the heavy starfighter, he reached 20 feet above the hanger floor. Outside the shields, they could see the endless void of space, and the enemy ships approaching. 

"I'm not one for speeches." Krux said, his feral appearance matching his deep, predatory voice. "But this day we shall make our ancestors proud! We shall obliterate this enemy force, cut into the heart of the machine empire, and devour any who dare stand in our way!" 

Roars of agreement filled the Hanger, echoing off the walls. Krux raised his clawed fist, and leaped into his Starfighter, the other pilots following suit as one. Within moments, Krux and his 200 followers sliced out of the shields and maneuvered into their positions. Elsewhere, 250 Warrior 001 Starfighters were being lead by Battle-Commander Rel'kan, just as the Warmaster himself oversaw the 200 strong fleet of Predator Frigates now being deployed. 

"Attention," Warmaster Dax said via comlink to the planetary Commanders of all 6 planets in the system, Darex, Phelos, Grikad, Kelemonous, Vertun, and Cyrotel. "Our system is being waylaid by a large number of Agonis Warships. Ready the planetary defenses...and Glory to those of us that succeed."
"And all who die trying!" was sent back in unison. 

With that, Battle-Commander Krux and his heavy fighters engaged the bulk of the enemy forces in a fierce vanguard of swift death, followed closely behind by 125 Predator Class Frigates, their ARK Cannons taking aim. 75 other Frigates, and all Warrior 001 Starfighters were sent across the system to engage in the scattered enemy forces. Before long, the Agonis fighters could almost feel the planets they fancied to have begun invading awakening as if they were living beasts. Soft glows all along each of their surfaces began to fill the dark reaches of their atmosphere as their DARC cannons began to activate.
