Breaking Reshmars concentration, the a voice from his left shouted "New Contact" . Reshmar turned at the phrase but knew not which of the officers manning the sensor console had spoken out. The Station Commander looked down over an officer's shoulder then turned to return Reshmars stare. "It's Admiral Gir Sir" he said with a smile cracking the edge of his lips.

"Sir they are right on top of the Sith fleet" said the man a moment later. Reshmar brought up a magnified image of the collection of ships in the distance. It was an bold move to come in so close but it would somewhat limit Reshmars options going forward.

"Captain Fresi, initialize a right hook maneuver. Swing us out but limit our extrados to thirty degrees off axis. Just enough to get us into a good firing position going into weapons range" said Reshmar watching for to make sure the captain was hearing and understanding what he was wanting. The captain nodded and turned with a "Yes Sir" and walked to the helm consoles and their attending officers. Reshmar watched a moment as Fresi commanded the officers and they began making the necessary arrangments for a full fleet course change.

Changing course is relativity simple when it involves one vessel but when you have to coordinate the maneuver with several vessels, even with trained crews who have practiced and trained for just such a maneuver, it became much more difficult. Reshmar turned to watch the forward display on the CIC wall and the battle now erupting between the Sith and Admiral Gir's fleet. He felt helpless for a moment knowing he was out of range for the moment and breaking from his first line of fire to adjust. The image began to move away from the battle as the ship turned, bringing the optical sensor which had been monitoring the exchange out of line. A second later the sensor panned bringing the battle back into focus.

The ships of the 3rd Attack Squadron began to change course and move almost in unison around to the starboard flank of their previous course. The top of the arch which the fleet pivoted on was displayed on the screens of the helm consoles displaying the limits of the edge and the thirty degree axis Reshmar had ordered. It was not a major realignment but it would bring them in more to the port flank of the sith fleet and at an angle better suited for engagement now that Gir and his force assailed their port flank. The ships turned and moved off away from the sith fleet then swung around across the arch and moved into a formation two hundred and ninety five degrees from its initial course and pointed at the sith fleet in the distance. The fleet had successfully carried out the maneuver but ended up five degrees off the desired course. Reshmar would have to look into why and train more in this once he was given time. For now it was close enough to where he wanted to be.

"Time to weapons range" Reshmar asked looking out ad a slightly different angle of the battle. Now the forward most ships of the sith were obstructing the view of the port most of Admiral Girs formation. The battle could be seen clearly now as the ships of the 3rd Attack wing closed into weapons range A voice from his left answered. He recognized Fresi's voice without looking. "forty second sir" said the ship's commander. Reshmar looked over the tables lay out and of the updating telemetry and plotting of contacts them back out at the formation before him. This was not the place he wanted to be but was the best location for him now with the tactical situation as it is. The bolts of fire from the Sith ships came a second before Captain Fresi informed him that they were in weapons range.

"Captain Return fire" said Reshmar as the 3rd Attack Line marched forward into its baptism of fire.

altered course
performed a low arc right hook maneuver coming in from the siths port flank at a sixty five degree angle from previous course (would be bearing about 295 degrees off center from sith fleet if it had been facing the formation before the maneuver)
Moved into long range weapons range.

Malos so the ships move back, going out of the heavy long range. His objective of preventing the squadron's integration with the main fleet was going on successfully. The veteran commander had decided to send starfighters toward Malos. Malos however had counters for that, and all would be revealed later on.

"Sir, starfighters incoming."

"Maintain defensive formation; order the Razers, and other ships to get targeting solutions immediately; also order all squadron commanders to initiate MLS Formation, and have them initiate Tactical Plan Kas." Malos stated.

Malos knew that they had the advantage with starfighters. From his calculations, they had more starfighters than Reen Lorgon's squadron, over double the number of his starfighters(I can show you the calculations if you want).

Soon, the starfighters arrived at Malos's fleet; they all individually picked out their targets, some attacking the Boneshatters, come coming for his flagship, and so on. The flak guns in the 50 quad laser canons, and 25 flak guns sent projectile rounds, and quad canons at the starfighters, attacking their deflector shields; deflector shields protected against both projectile, and laser based weaponry, but it would never replace ray and particle shields. As the defensive weaponry of the Wyyrlok attacked the starfighters, some of Malos' starfighters initiated Tactical Plan Kas, where they split into three units. One unit attacked the bombers being intercepted by flak, and laser cannons, targeting solutions, and IFF tags in the OS starfighters making sure Malos' flagship's defensive weapons wouldn't attack them. The other two units initiated pincer formation, attacking the starfighters, and interceptors via their left and right flank. The Republic pilots had to also deal with the immense amount of defensive weaponry, which helped Malos; furthermore, since the Wyyrlok had only engaged in long range combat, using it's long range weapons, a whole array of other weapons would also be used to kill off the Republic starfighters, including Concussion Missile Launchers, and heavy turbolasers, all of which had targeted the starfighters as soon as they entered range.

The Republic starfighters didn't have any large payload that could be seen in bombers, which was something that Malos found useful. The bombers had a somewhat large payload, but nothing that wouldn't affect the majority of his squadron considering the fact that they were so few of them , and majority of the fighters comprised of mutli-role starfighters, with a few interceptors. Malos also had his bombers move back; even then, his Allegiants could handle the starfighters, and the powerful redundant shield generators of his FE starfighters which had a powerful electronic warfare suit would go and attack the interceptors, jamming them with his powerful jamming projector, and overloading the enemy(Republic)'s interceptors with false contacts in it's targeting systems.

The Razer frigates were called a "starfighter shredder" in the One Sith for a reason. In it's vast anti-starfighter weaponry, including 48x quad laser canons, 10x ion canons, etc would also work toward shredding the starfighter contingent that had attacked Malos' squadron, while his Boneshatters, Torments, and Vanguard, each having extensive defensive weaponry would also have targeting solutions in the Republic's starfighters, while Malos' pilots initiated Tactical Plan Kas.

"Put more power to the shields, and defensive weaponry. Make sure to convert some more power into our long range weaponry when the Republic squadron decides to attack us." Malos ordered.

"Sir, status reports from all the ships have been reported. We only report a 10% reduction in the shields of the Boneshatters sir; our Shadow-Class Corvettes are too far away so they won't be affected sir." an officer stated.

"Excellent; continue to maintain formation." Malos ordered.

• Initiated Tactical Plan Kas
• More power to defensive weaponry, while on the lookout for Republic Squadron under Reen Lorgon's command
