Galactic Empire in New World

Part 8 Chapter 6

"Good, we will wait for the docking and pre-hyperjump preparation to be completed while waiting for the report from the probe droid we sent." Admiral Aedat said.

"Yes, admiral. I'm a bit worried, the number of enemy ships is much more than our ships." Captain Haiganti said.

"That's right, captain, but we have the advantage of quality and the element of surprise. In addition, the number of our fighters far exceeds the number of their ships, and our fighters all carry proton torpedoes that can damage enemy ships and can even be destroyed in one shot," said Admiral Aedat. "So don't worry."

"Admiral, all ships report ready to jump." Said the tactical officer.

"Good, we wait a moment for the report from the probe droid." Admiral Aedat said. "Make sure all ships have charged their weapons."

"For 'Macross', the main hyperlaser, superlaser, transform cannon, turbolaser, and ion cannon are all in ready-to-fire condition." said the XO.

"Good, order the weapon operators to fire when we exit the hyperdrive. Don't wait for orders." Admiral Aedat said. "Order all ships to do the same."

"Yes, admiral," said the XO.

"Don't forget to provide targeting information from the gravitic sensor systems of the ships that have them." Admiral Aedat said.

"Yes, sir," said the XO.

"Admiral, we're getting data from the probe droids we sent out!" said the tactical officer.

"Show me in the main viewer!" ordered Admiral Aedat.

Admiral Aedat studied the tactical display on the OM3I star system.

"There doesn't seem to be much deviation from our previous data," said Captain Haiganti.

"That's right, contact Admiral Arakel and Admiral Jan," said Admiral Aedat.

"Yes, admiral," said captain Haiganti.

A few moments later, the holopad beside him lit up, showing the two admirals commanding the two defence fleets in the fleet.

"Admirals, according to the latest information, there is no deviation from the enemy's movement and distribution." Admiral Aedat said.

"So, we stick to our original plan?" asked Admiral Jan.

"Yes, we hit them hard and left a few tagged ones to escape so we could find their base," said Admiral Aedat.

"Do we need to invade their base?" asked Admiral Arakel.

"Only if there is an opportunity to do so. Basically, we will be conducting Base Delta Zero on their main outpost. As planned, we know of three remote outposts that we can try to capture," said Admiral Aedat.

"Than, let's do it," said Admiral Jan.

"That's right. Man, your battlestation. I hate this, but may the force be with you." Admiral Aedat said.

With those words, the two admirals cut the connection.

"Begin countdown for hyperspace jump!" said Admiral Aedat.

One by one, parts of the fleet began to jump to hyperspace to reach their destination.

Near the 2nd planet, star system OM3I

There is currently an enemy task force patrolling near the second planet of the star system OM3I. They consist of a standard patrol force of nine unmanned ships plus one crewed ship acting as a command ship.
