As the battle between the Coalition and the Federation-aligned US forces raged on, there was a sudden brightening to the left flank of the Coalition fleet as the sea lit up with the distinctive white flashes of ships exiting warp. Around forty kilometres out and eight degrees to the left of the main Coalition force, scores of Prometheus ships appeared.

The fleet was hundreds strong, composed variously of all known Prometheus surface ships classes in addition to several wings of gunships. Notable among the group were five Titan-class superbattleships spearheading the attack, several dozen Exacutor-, Ravager-, and Eradicator-class battleships, around thirty Sovereign-class heavy battlecruisers and Reaper-class heavy cruisers, at least sixty Subjugator-class cruisers, and twelve Wraith-class supercarriers in the back of the formation.

Immediately, the sky filled with waves of MCMs launched by the Titans and submerged Charybdis-class submarines, along with smaller missiles from other ships. Communications systems on the Coalition vessels in the area fizzled out into static as dedicated electronic warfare ships in the Prometheus fleet's rearguard scrambled them. The longest ranged guns in the fleet - the doomsday cannons and 204cm guns mounted on the superbattleships - also opened fire, bombarding the Coalition ships from afar. Meanwhile, squadrons of Vampire air superiority fighters and Marauder bombers began lifting off from the carriers. The gunships - around sixty in total, divided between Gargoyles, Banshees, and Phantoms - hung back with the rest of the fleet, waiting for them to close with the Coalition ships before making their move.
