The "sniper" fleet then moves in, seeing ost of the ISR ships are destroyed, and they move in towards the atmosphere to assist the crippled ground forces, along with the Berlins, Charons, Charon-IIs, Stalwarts, while the rest of the fleet remained in orbit. They aim their laser cannons and fire on the large hover tanks while firing off their own ODST drop pods (Each UAC warship has a complement of ODSTs and drop pod stations). The Athens, Arcadias, and Eions exit the area to be replaced by the same amount, only with a fresh amount of fighter craft to be launched to assist. The Spirit of Fires fire off their archer missiles they have saved into the hostile tanks, and fire their 53cm lasers into the tanks, and begin to deploy more ground troops as the fleets above rain their laser salvos down.

The ground tanks take evasive action, the Hover tanks faring much better then the Scorpions, which are easily taken out form the hostile fire, and remaining ones are withdrawn by Pelican dropships until the ISR tanks are destroyed. From the arriving carriers, Longsword squadrons and Wombats carrying Anti-ship grade missiles move in on the hovertanks, with the Longswords dropping three Fury-class tactical nuclear devices on three hover tanks (The 20 ton one, not the big f##king shivas), and another group of Wombats with rocket pods mow down infantry. Also coming from the Spirit of Fires, several platoons of the new BRD-01 Spectres are awaiting deployment until the hovertanks are taken out.

From other locations around the Planet, though not straying from the main landing zone, 40 more Spirit of Fire-class vessels exit slipspace, deploying more ground forces at nearby cities and installations, targeting any ISR hovertanks as a priority one.
