The cruisers and frigates, mainly composed of Sulacos and Vigilants, open fire on the attacking Uprisings with their 53cm main lasers, causing heavy damage to the enemy ships. The Sulacos fire off a MAC salvo, while some break off to chase the others attacking the Nova class battleship Repulse. (The crippled one)

Meanwhile, interceptors chase the retreating German fighters. Among them is the elite naval Rotarran Squadron, led by commander Frank Martok and flying P-108s. (Ace fight with Black Baron?)

With the radio jamming gone, radio chatter fills the airwaves again:

"Germans are bugging out, be alert for second wave."

"Heavy damage to our hull, we need to set down somewhere now!"

This is captain Del Rio of the Renown, reb cruisers are all over my damaged flank. Wouldn't mind some help here."

"Rodger Renown, Galena and Feldspar inbound."

"Santa Anna, you got reb cruisers on your flank, watch yourself."

As similar radio chatter continues, a pair of Guardian of Hope class battleships rush past the Renown, blasting the Uprisings with laser fire, and absorbing much of the incoming fire. The Renown meanwhile has begun a turn to starboard, facing her undamaged side towards the battle and throttling up her engines to retreat from the front lines....
