The EAF fighters shifted their attacks to focus on the Intercepter-class fleet carriers, using their small size and high maneuverability to exploit the weaknesses in the armor of the Prometheus carriers. One squadron came in for an attack run directly from the front of one of the enemy vessels, attempting to deploy their payload of missiles so that they would explode inside the Intercepter's launch bays.

Most of the EAF's Mantis II-class battlecarriers and more than Hal of the Goshawk IIs had gone down, and the remaining vessels took up positions in an attempt to protect the Condors that were providing power to the fixed defense turrets, positioning themselves between the transport ships and the remains of the Prometheus fleet. the Tranquility II-class carriers still stayed at long range due to their extremely thin armor, now circling the battlefield at high speed while taking shots with their particle beams. Two of them had taken moderate damage from occasional hits from the long range weapons of the enemy ships, and these stayed far away from the battle to avoid drawing attention to themselves and staying beyond the range of both the enemy's weapons and their own.

The Blackbird moved to reengage the remaining Prometheus ships now that the most heavily armed of the enemy vessels were down, moving almost in a sideways strafing motion so as to keep its less damaged flank pointed toward the Prometheus fleet while firing on them and attempting to disrupt their targeting systems.

The defense turrets around the base continued to whittle down the enemy. Many of the guns had been destroyed, but the remaining ones constantly chipped off small bits of armor from the Prometheus vessels, targeting weapons or other critical subsystems when possible.
