-AIF Fleet-

"Bloody hell! Those alien bastards have turned on us! It's a trap!"

The GA betrayal and sudden arrival of the RA fleet takes the AIF fleet by surprise. Multiple ships are damaged, and a group of Centurions move to assist the UAC fleet. The AIF commander sends out a fleet wide command.

AIF commander: "All ships, this is Commodore Kevin Riley, I am ordering a tactical retreat. Recover all fighters, assume defensive formation around the carriers, prepare for warp."

The fighters begin to regroup, and retreat towards the AIF carriers. The attacking Eta-2s inflict some losses to the AIF fighters as they catch them off guard, but soon the fighters regroup. The P-118s take the worse losses due to their less nimble design, but their formations are soon rescued by P-99-Fs and P-300s blazing away with their lasers like avenging angels. The P-118s are prioritized for landing, and the other fighters provide covering fire. The P-300s engage the Eta-2s in fierce dogfights, using their massive firepower and excellent maneuverability (4 independently vectored impulse engines will do that) to cause heavy losses to the enemy fighters.

-UAC Fleet-

The situation is very similar for the UAC fleet. The sudden onslaught causes heavy losses among the UAC warships. Several Excaliburs explode, and the UAC fleet scrambles to recover. The UAC fleet initiates an emergency slipspace blink, arriving away from the attacking fleets. The T-22s engaging the Z-40s are well equipped to fight them, and open up with their numerous rotary cannons and missiles, reducing blind spots to about, nil. The Z-40s of course give a solid fight as well, their powerful particle cannons causing considerable damage to the UAC craft.
