Several minutes after the start of the battle between HYDRAXIS and Bloodridge's fleet, there was still no sign of Razanal.

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the Haven was pierced with a blindingly bright beam of red light that split the sky with a thunderclap as the very air in the weapon's path instantly turned to plasma. The water where the laser struck flash-boiled all the way down to the seabed, covering the battlefield in a cloud of steam.

Using the momentary surprise and disorientation from the Requiem's attack to their advantage, the rest of the Prometheus Corporation's fleet warped in behind the HYDRAXIS forces and opened fire. Hundreds of aerospace warships and thousands of surface vessels began unloading their munitions into the enemy fleet. Carriers, sitting back at a relatively safe distance of eighty kilometres, begin launching their aircraft. Squadrons of gunships climb to altitude to fire on the HYDRAXIS force from above. A number of Citadel-class orbital artillery platforms are brought in from around the planet, and begin launching their missiles at the enemy.

Twelve Corsair-class heavy battlecruisers, supported by thirty Shadow of Darkened Skies II-class light cruisers, warp in in low orbit and begin a diving attack toward the center of the HYDRAXIS formation. The battlecruisers open with a volley from their medium lasers, targeted toward the largest ships in the enemy fleet.

Meanwhile, the defensive emplacements of Neo-Earth come active. Nearby Obelisk-class automated defense platforms launch from their hidden vertical hangars around the battle to provide a bit more firepower, while others further away slowly move in to reinforce. Cerberus rapid-fire artillery installations along the coast swivel into alignment, targeting HYDRAXIS warships with their rotary 1600cm guns. They open fire with volleys of four shells in as many seconds, then taking fifteen seconds to reload before firing again. Other coastal defenses, including railgun turrets and AA batteries, provide further fire support.
