The Second Coalition War - Chapter Twelve

Oswald Taker was Admiral of the 1st Fleet and the commanding officer of a task force formed between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fleets that included all of their Airships apart from the stealth and reconnaissance type known as Wraiths which had been sent to Zephyr. He was responsible for forty airships and sixty strikers.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjTVtVKgr

Oswald knew that everyone else thought him pedantic, inflexible, and obsessed with details. He didn't care - it made him a better Admiral, in his opinion.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiN9w6pBmy

Taker was not particularly fond of his commanding officer, Lady Sophie Exonault. He would have favoured the pragmatic and brutally honest Admiral Cosminè Raz if he was allowed to pick the Aeroadmiral of the Grand Fleet.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2eiauEqgE

Nonetheless, he could do nothing to remove her - the woman had been prepared for a career as an Aeronautical Officer by the previous Aeroadmiral, her grandfather - and so he would serve and obey.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOFkizwxg6

Oswald, something needs to be done about the developments concerning the Grand Army`s Project Voltaire. It was bad enough when the High-Exarch of Luxequinox approved the initiative, but now both Elector Bremer Icicle of the North and Matriarch Vivi of Clan Yunta back the project. Those cryogenic beam projectors have been deployed to the freshly established Exarchate of Gaurd for testing.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf43gGe8uAV

Our own Project Zanzi is being cast aside because of this. The Grand Fleet must not rest on past laurels unless we wish to lose resources to our friends on the ground. Therefore, I task you with assisting in the Seige of Demos. Take the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Fleets and crush Nwarth De Corsair`s massed flotilla in the name of Urlic IV & I.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1kpi6djeN

The combined UEGNA Fleets had massed above the city of Seaport in Central Province. The city was roughly three hundred miles from the mighty river Dekè - the longest and largest river by discharge in Empyrea. Oswald Taker`s forces were composed of six Super-Heavy Cruisers, twelve Heavy Cruisers, twenty-two Light Cruisers and sixty strikers.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhWGzu9p6B

A flying wedge of eight Light Cruisers from Grand Wings E and F led by the Heavy Cruiser UAC Ursa under the leadership of High-Commander Farren is to break through the circle of Torpedo Cruisers protecting the eastmost Light Carrier - which had already been identified as the VFC Nouveau - and neutralise it. Arlo Farren was to command the GNA Highbrow, Luxator, Holcroft, and Rosen - all names after High-Exarchs - in addition to the EDA Kunza and Askar and the UAC De Napton and Lunder.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfcMICD6NM

The other Light Carrier - the VFC Quintessencena - and its escort of five Gun Cruisers was to be shelled by a line of four Heavy Cruisers (EDA Xarai, UAC Tantina, EDA Enyo and UAC Delphine) protected by the firepower of the Super-Heavy Cruisers GNA Icaria and Magnus while the Light Cruisers GNA Worce, GNA Quil, EDA Temujin, GNA Victarine, GNA Onyx, and GNA Val from Taker`s Fleet launched Aerial Torpedo runs at the formation.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XVDuRDiKs

The 7th rank of the Grand Fleet was Bridge Lieutenant, above Aerospecialist but below a craft`s Lieutenant Commander / Executive Officer (XO). Super-heavy cruisers like the GNA Egonault had twenty (Æther, Analysis, Auxiliary, Aviation, Communications, Damage Control, Engineering, Gunnery Helmsman, Intelligence, Medical, Navigation, Security, Sensor, Shielding, Staff, Supply, Systems, Tactical, and Weather) and right now, all attention was on the Egonault`s Communications Officer: Ego Lieutenant Nyssa Luscan.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03oMtVG2q

Narwath De Corsair continued to speak, but the words fell on deaf ears. That puffed-up buffoon, Oswald Taker, lacked even the basic decency to let him finish, instead choosing to interject with "You are in no position to demand anything. I know you Narwath De Corsair - Rank four citizen of Aquiloria - and you will not win against the might of His Grace's Grand Fleet. Glory to UEGNA, glory to Urlic!" He retorted proudly.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vdOc0Ectv

This man had a talent for inspiring terror in others. Secretly a sadist, Faren took great pleasure in bullying his junior officers - a frequent occurrence that the Grand-Commodore of Grand Wing F turned a blind eye towards because of the results he produced: Faren`s heavy-handed command style and short temper had resulted in the heavy Cruiser UAC Ursa becoming one of the most efficient in the Fleet.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyzufpTgdg

The enormous guns spat death at the VFC Nouveau in a full broadside. The shells pierced the light armour and detonated directly inside the main hanger.

Of the eight Light Cruisers in the flying wedge, four were fleeing to safety while a lone battle-scared Gun Cruiser perused them restlessly at full speed, one had been scuttled with all hands now being housed in the Geirskögul Valkyrie Marine quarters of the GNA Magnus.

Meanwhile, the Line formation that had been tasked with destroying the VFC Quintessencena had managed to disable its Æther-based propulsion systems at the cost of being swarmed by angry Strikers.
