OOC: here comes the cavalry!

IC:

As the DPL fleet closes with the shore fortifications, the intensity of their fire increases as shorter ranged weapons come in to play. In addition to the 254cm (100in) railguns (Israeli designs) and 204cm lasers, 53cm and 46cm batteries open up on the ships with lasers and projectiles. Ion cannon batteries open fire on the DPL capital ships, causing failures in electrical systems all over the vessels, reducing their combat effectiveness. To help defend against the sound based mind control, white noise in the general spectrum of the DPL signal is produced over the fortifications' intercom systems.

As the DPL ships focus on the shore fortifications, a new signal shows up on their radars. Thousands of small contacts, smaller than most fighters, appears. At first, it appears to be a missile barrage from shore. But DPL pilots realize the truth as they reach the contacts, they are a swarm of Wasp UCAVs, operating under a single hive AI, pepper their aircraft with laser fire. The swarm operates with a coordination not possible with living pilots, and plane after plane falls to the nimble fighters.

-Fleet Rally Point, Pomorado Province-

The AIF fleet has mustered, having delayed entering the fight due to reports of mind control being used. After analyzing reports from the field, a counter is implemented. All crews don ear protection, and white noise is sent over the shipboard intercoms. Orders are either passed visually, or through the radios mounted in the earphones. With the systems set up, they charge their tactical warp engines, and are funneled through the warp corridors to the battle site....

-Battle-

Four AIF Battle Clusters exit warp in attack formation, with frigates forming a defensive point defense screen in front of the capitals. All ships fire a barrage of missiles, MCMs, Comets, or simple VLS, all are fired in a massive salvo. Ships equipped with MACs or other heavy weapons also fire, while the rest of the fleet open fire with their main lasers. Heavier capitals focus on other larger ships, while smaller ships engage multiple light enemy vessels at once. A message is sent to allied vessels, asking if they have any non radio communication available....
