"Looks like things are getting a little crazy over there" says Zan over her tight beam comms

Captain Adam looks over to the communications officer, who just shrugs "transmitting in the clear, everyone is hearing it" says the officer. 

"Ok, who the hell is Anubis?" says the captain not as keyed up as he might otherwise be due to his reletavely long distance from the starting battle.

"No idea sir, no information we have access to."

Captain Adam ponders for a moment, "do we care about this nonsense?"

Desai speaks up "It looks like our Caldari friends are joining the skirmish, we could send a wing out to poke at the fighters it would be a good gesture if nothing else."

The captain nods, "Very well... Navigation, Plot a randomized warp pattern to keep us a few light minutes from the battle but close enough to keep tabs. Raise all combat ships, wing one on defense, warping with us. Wing two, get in there and cause some trouble."

Captain Geroh fired up his Assault Cruiser, Blaster cannons loaded with neutron charges. He checked over the shield and armor system. within a few minutes the cruiser was prepared and ready. "Wing one, protect the Forge, Wing two on me." He said over the comms, When he did 4 Incurses attack frigates, an assault frigate formed up on him and warped to 70km on the Imperial Shuttle. Moments later his little force had activated their Micro warp drives, Armor Nanite pumps, and energized resistance plating. The force broadcast ORE iff codes to the surrounding ships but trusted that they where not going to become the prime targets due to all the capitals in the area. 

Several Death gliders broke from the rest of the swarm to engage Geroh, "First customers lads, Web and Scram." he said calmly referring to the stasis web his Incurses frigates could apply to target ships and the FTL scrambling capability of his assault frigate. The team broke away in flights of two frigates webbing down a single Death Glider to nearly 25% of its original velocity and slicing it to pieces with their railguns. The assault frigate with its micro warpdrive kept pace with the attack frigates and applied its neutron blasters to the targets as well reducing the gliders to small clouds of radiation and burning atoms. Geroh and his assault cruiser acted as the heavy weapon platform he was designed to be and imposed himself between the swarm of fighters and his own force while they dealt with the remaining gliders. The gliders manage to score plenty of hits on the frigates but their resilient armor and nanite repair systems quickly compensated for the light damage they where taking from the relatively smaller ships. Being locked down with the web system reduced the glider's defensive ability to nearly nothing being incapable of evading incoming fire

"Status" ordered Geroh

"Venom, 80% shield, 100% armor, two kills."
"Abyss, 10% shield, 90% armor, one kill"
"Valiant, 45% shield, 100% armor, two kills"
"Deadman, 0 shields, 35% armor.. repair cycle done 45% armor, one kill"

"Well done lads, We will keep nibbling at the edge of this fight, no sense charging the Cap here and getting killed."
