OOC: Yes there were about 5 in orbit above the base once you "abandoned" it. There is no need for all of them to be in orbit at once. Also, this is my last post until I go to sleep, unless something big is going to happen, then maybe I'll stay up.

IC: The attacks were reported to AIF High Command as flying ships were scrambled to defend the islands. XAW-1799 was ordered to protect the Home Islands with the E-200s in two groups. One to defend ISBA while the other group was at the home islands. The ECD command, now aware of the situation, began to pull ships back to the Home Islands to strenghten the Home Fleet.
