Barring UIW crits to modify the damage amount, TH inflicts 10.75 FP after rounding as Fleet Base Kowloon desperately fights to hold out against the immense enemy battleship's long-range bombardment.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Apollyon, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Sarah McEvedy is threatened by direct damage, though it will take 25.5 to sink her.

Fleet Base Kowloon responds with what they have... (I really don't have time to ask for MM options this operational round...)

UIW inflicts 4.25 FP on the McEvedy and her escorts, dropping the total enemy force in system to 104.75 (though this goes back up to 105.25 due to damage control). The TH took an additional 2.00 damage (after damcon) chasing the Dominion York out of the system for a final end-of-turn value of 103.25 FP.

The remaining defenders have 4.75 FP left, mostly fighters and a handful of sections of the burning fleet base that still have power to weapons.

"Depressurize the burning sections, and sound all hands abandon the base."  Lt. Natalie Denton was the last remaining officer aboard the fleet base, "Rig fire controls to my station, and get the hell out!"

the base shook again, as anything left that COULD leave, was doing so. 

"come here, you big son of a bitch..."  she muttered, "just a liiitle closer..."

well...killed the CO of the Sarah McEvedy, and got a boarding attempt.

Station's marine complement was:

12

with 12 BT's.

The 11 is the boarding attempt is against the next size up in the enemy flotilla from a smallcraft, that's up to you, Dave...

OOC: Well that was unexpected.

Command Deck, Sarah McEvedy
Northern Planetary Orbitals
11 August 3091


Small arms fire crackled across the Leviathan's bridge as armored marines emerged from the still-smoldering hole cut by the breaching charges. Admiral Eremiel Artemev cut down the first marine herself with a wicked barbed dart fired from a concealed weapon in her wrist, but she never got the opportunity to fire a second as a shotgun blast knocked her to the floor.

Oblivious to the grievous injuries she had suffered, the naval officer stood again. Cold metal shone where her flesh had been blasted away, and she tackled an approaching UIW trooper with ferocious abandon. Laser rifle fire cracked out as the stunned bridge crew joined in the ship's defense, but by the time the smoke cleared the skinsuited spacers were all dead, no match for the trained marines. Artemev herself lay in a pool of blood, metalic parts sparking where gunfire or blunt trauma had damaged them. The marine underneath her was still screaming, though it was clear he was not long for the world. Before the cyborg had been permanently stopped, she had driven a hand into his chest, as if she was trying to tear out his heart.

The bridge of the Sarah McEvedy was now ominously quiet, but for the hum of computers. Occasionally, the deck shifted ever so slightly from a distant secondary explosion elsewhere in the ship, but judging from the radio reports, the McEvedy had been running with a skeleton crew. The marines had expected hordes of battle armor and infantry cyborgs and instead... a half-staff ship's crew fighting back with light weapons.

No crit. Most of McEvedy's crew is killed in the fighting, but the ship is now in the hands of a UIW prize crew.

Note that while this is going on the, fleet was conducting strategic orbital bombardment against the planet while their fighters moved to finish off the base. We should roll initiative to see if your marines got on board before SM contributed her considerable firepower to the bombardment.
