In the city of Neviston, civilians were evacuating in a surprisingly orderly manner to the surrounding countryside. Back at the Neviston Battery, preparations had already begun for defending the city from attack, and the massive guns of the fort now were trained at the radar signals provided by the Chain Home radar system. Meanwhile the battleships in the harbor had all raised steam, and prepared to come out and meet the attacking fleet. A message was sent by both radio and land based cable to the ships at Pittshaven and across the AIF informing them of the situation, and to proceed to Neviston. From the Lord Pemberton, admiral Hodston made a transmission to the fleet:

"Men, out there lies an enemy fleet intent on destroying Neviston, intent on landing on our soil and destroying our home. They are not the first, nor will they be the last to threaten our way of life. And like each invader before them, they will be repulsed by the unbreakable spirit of the Alliance!" At that he turned to a radio officer on the bridge. "Inform the Battery that they may fire at will lieutenant."

Within seconds all fifteen doomsday guns at the Neviston Battery thundered out, followed by a barrage of SSN-12 missiles from its batteries. Soon all the doomsday guns had retracted in to their mounts to reload, and the 204cm guns on the wall and on Sentinel Hill waited for the fleet to get within range. The battleships, cruisers, and numerous other ships steamed out of the harbor, numbering nearly 700 ships in all. 50 of the battleships were the massive Endymions of the Home Fleet, their massive 204cm guns ready for battle.

OOC: are the superwarships going to slug it out in a second battle, or partake in the general action here?
