IC:

A strike package of 60 Durandal fighter-bombers approaches the battle area.

Lead Pilot: "Striker 1 to Strike Leader. Delusion's forces have stopped their advance. Looks like they're leaving a screen of non-bios (OOC: "non-biologicals", AFOH term for robots) but many are pulling back. Request permission to engage."

Flight Leader: "Strike Leader to Striker 1, you are clea--, hold that Striker 1. We have an incoming from Group."

A minute later...

FL: "Strike Leader to Striker Flight, Hoplite Red is in effect (OOC: Hoplite is the code name for the AFOH war plan against Sith attack. Hoplite Orange is for vigilant patrol, while Red is the response for an actual attack, in this case against the Israeli Navy.). Striker 1, take your flight and crater the area. Hopefully this will hold up Delusion's forces longer should the AF decide to make a stand."

LP: "Roger that, Strike Leader."

FL: "Striker Flight, let's head home."

12 Durandals peel off to bomb the area between Delusion's forces and the retreating AF. The craters formed are closer to each other than the previous bombing run, making them formidable tank traps. The coordinates are then programmed into the fire control systems of 6 Normandie battlecruisers armed with Mk 8 railguns 500km away. Any move across the barrier will be detected and pulverized by hypersonic shells with thermobaric warheads.
