Three Interdictors circled the half constructed station, the massive shield generator strapped to the central frame of the superstructure while the exposed fusion reactors powered the shield. Blasts from siege cannons slammed against the shield, shaking the generator lightly and rattling the station in a minor way as it soaked up the shot. Willow Grove, North Bay, Lakenheath. The three Battlecruisers circled around the station, not like vultures; Like massive birds of prey defending their nest. A wing of bombers performed precision strikes against the Arbiters and Judicators. Several guardians and a pair of Avengers, plastered with killmarks, chased down the other Legion fightercraft and tore apart bombers.
"All hands, brace for ordinance launch." A dull alarm sounded as the lights of the Battlecruiser Lakenheath shifted red, and the ship came to a stop, vaguely directing itself towards an Arbiter as the massive silo door on its fore slid open. The ships nose lurches downwards slightly as the massive nuclear torpedo is ejected from the silo, and the engine screams to life, spraying out ominous red-orange exhaust as it begins to accelerate, and arc to an Arbiter in the distance, whos shields begin crumbling under the withering fire of two Navy Upholder bombers, and an unmarked Waran.
All gunfire seemed to cease in the seconds building up. The massive torpedo slams into the hull of the Arbiter, all of the exterior screens flashing black as the external cameras built into the hull of the Lakenheath shutter to save the sensitive electronics. A few seconds pass, and the screens reveal the cataclysm outside. An Arbiter battleship, torn asunder, spilling out its guts in the form of machinery and unfortunate crewmembers who were not incinerated in the initial blast.
The Legion withdrew during the visual and electronic interference the nuclear explosion threw off, leaving a shattered Arbiter, and dead Judicators laying in pieces around Chadwick Station as their allies disappeared into the distance.
"Damage control, put out the fires on decks two and three. Well done, ladies and gentlemen."
