OOC: Sorry for the late reply, something, came up.

IC:

The IKN surface fleet is composed of 2 First Emperor class superewarships, 2 Renown class battleships, 10 Revenge class battleships, 5 Untamable class battlecruisers, and numerous lighter cruisers, destroyers, carriers and support vessels. The surface battleships sortie out to meet the enemy, with two of the Revenges staying behind to guard the port. The smaller battleships and battlecruisers form a battle line to head off the Protoss ships, while the two supers stay near the port and begin long range firing on the stolen ships.

The camouflaged troops, while thinking they had an advantage, are gunned downed by snipers hidden in the trees. Then, a battalion of small hover tanks are sent in to relieve the defending troops, who rapidly disappear in to the thick brush. At numerous points along the AIF defense lines, the Protoss encounter the same thing, their infantry and tanks are harassed by AIF infantry, who then withdraw in to the jungle before they can effectively counter them. In their wake, the AIF troops have left mines and other traps for the Protoss forces, causing yet more losses as they advance.

Close to the canal area, more intensive defenses are being erected. Anti-tank weapons are readied, and numerous obstacles readied. Sentinel IIs are hastily painted to cover their reflective metal exteriors, and numerous machine gun nests and foxholes are prepared. 300 tanks of various makes are prepared to engage the enemy, many of them are older models, but they have the advantage of knowing the terrain and gaining favorable positions.

In the skies above, hundreds of IKN fighters have launched from their carriers, with more aircraft also arriving from the large IKAF base in Panama. The more agile P-114s and 99s, along with the wicked fast 117, prove just as devastating to the bulky Protoss aircraft as they do at the Home Islands. Having already been briefed on the capabilities of the Z-40 from experience in other battles, the IKN pilots attack from the optimum angles, raining down a long range missile strike before closing in for a gunfight. Meanwhile, bombers launched from IKAF Kinloss make precise strikes on the advancing Protoss ground units, unhampered by the Protoss fighters thanks to the defending fighters...
