Aboard the destroyer Deffending Light her captain a Rodian named Jannal smiled with glee as he saw his ship buried into the side of the enemy frigate. The imperial crew flying out into space smashing against the hull of his ship. He turned to his first officer with his devilish grin "Marda remind me when this is done to send someone out to clean the hull". "Yes sir" see snapped before pausing and saying "sir are you sure it was such a good idea to ram the imperial ship"? "Yes it was we have saved ourselves a lot of time and as you know time in a battle situation is precious now get a space suit on and take command of your new ship" he sneered. "Yes sir" the young girl said as she saluted and left the bridge.

Meanwhile outside the boarding ships where flying into the frigate. The destroyers where moving onto the next frigate in the enemy formation with the same plan in mind. Meanwhile the Parat's flagship was going toe to toe with another frigate. At this rate he was beginning to think maybe they could win. 

Meanwhile far off by the imperial capital ships was Parat's only corvette that was making attack runs on the enemies engines and bridges. Unfortunately the ship was outclassed and with the amount of enemy fire they where finding it difficult to dodge it all and they where taking significant damage.

Elsewhere in the galaxy in orbit around the planet Toprawa there was a fleet amassing. This fleet was made of any ship that could be mustered to fight the imperials. The fleets job when assembled was to push the imperials out of Tandum before they could entrench and set up a beachhead. So far they had only managed to get some destroys, corvettes and escorts that had been pulled off of convoy duty. Even the fleets commander hadn't arrived yet. It was a dire state of affairs as ships from the eastern side of the confederation were being sent to either this attack fleet or to reinforce the defence line against the imperials.
