The Carnivon dreadnaught and fleet slip out of high-warp near colony
XVB1049 within dagger-distance of eachother. Long range scans from the
DWS show the three of the Vudar's largest ships and one of their
ubiquitous scouts. That force in itself is somewhat inferior to the
Carnivon's dreadnaught, pair of war cruisers, bombardment cruiser, scout
and frigate. But then adding in the heavily fortified planet, and things
seem much more like a fair fight. Not what admirals like to see.
Deeper scans by the scout showed that the espionage service failed to
mention the defensive phaser fortifications. The plan was to keep the
Vudar ships away with bombardment while attacking the planet. This new
wrinkle meant that in the time it takes to kill two bases, one war
cruiser will be lost. And that presumes the Vudar had their Ion
Generators set to EW and not to Kill-DBs, boring in despite the heavy
missiles.
So what was supposed to be an invasion, turned into a series of mean
looks exchanged across the border.
