As the coalition prepares its orbital bombardment, the American Naval Aerospace force comprised of Challenger, Hrothgar and Gleipnir class ships slip nearer. While most navies have forged a "latest and greatest" policy, Admiral Guy followed a different course. He built a fleet of scores of the ships that served him well in WWIII.

Now, those ships, almost all systems powered down to avoid detection, creep towards the coalition fleet.

At a range of three light-seconds, they fire.

The missile start slow, but in the vacuum of space, nothing is there to stop their acceleration. 750 missile close on the coalition fleet, and when they impact, they've reached speeds of 45% the speed of light. From three light seconds out, the American ships can't see visually what's happening, but from their sensors know that a whole lot of little pieces are re-entering Earths atmosphere.

Following their strike, the fleet comes to a halt relative to Sol, and all systems are shut off. The fleet awaits for further orders.
