As the Coalition forces begin to arrive to support the AIF, another set of warp flashes light the sky twenty kilometres out and at somewhat higher altitude as a multitude of aerospace vessels painted in the signature light and dark grey of the Prometheus Corporation arrive.

The freshly-arrived UAC battlegroup is stricken as a dazzling beam of ruby red light lances out from some unknown point beyond the sky to impale their largest warship, sending the Scorpii-class vessel plummeting from the air in two flaming halves.

Moments after the Requiem's attack, volleys of gunfire and laser strikes begin to fall upon the Coalition forces as the Prometheus ships open fire, the present group consisting of approximately 200 Shadow of Darkened Skies II-class cruisers, 30 Corsair-class battlecruisers, and 20 Event Horizon-class battleships. Eight Harbinger-class fleet carriers sit farther out at a distance of sixty kilometres, launching squadrons of Vampires, Marauders, Gargoyles, Phantoms, and Banshees.

Three more fleet carriers arrive over the ocean with an escort of twelve aerospace cruisers, and begin deploying seaborne units. Among these are a group of 20 Charybdis-class submarines, which waste no time in submerging and then promptly deploying streams of MCMs toward the enemy. Dozens of Spire-class MIVs provide anti-missile coverage for both the aerospace and naval fleets, while several Blacklight-class EW vessels attempt to jam enemy communications and radar systems to sow confusion among the Coalition forces.
