Qel'noran Fleets started to mass in earnest for an assault into the sentinel's various vectors of attack. In high orbit above Ayenee prime a single specter class battleship and a squadron of Wazu-J class frigates made their appearance. They had arrived to pick up weapon bundles put into orbit by ground units planeside and to help consolidate efforts planeside as well.
The PNUgen complex on Ayenee prime was the target of the first strike, as a series of incredibly dense rod bundles were dropped from orbit, each acted like a sabot round as it was guided into the complex by the ships above to destroy every square inch exactly. Before the rounds hit a second tactic was used. The ships in orbit used a massive teleportation attack to simply remove the ground below and around the complex outside of any teleportation inhibitors it might have. The ground, as well as other chunks of matter, were then deposited on top of the facility once the rod bundles had hit their target, burying the entire complex.
Neko-killer torpedo's were then launched at Ayenee prime. They detonated in the upper atmosphere releasing a powerful scanning ‘ping' which would trigger the anti-tamper systems on any neko in the city. As the only nekos in the city belonged to star army and they currently had declared genocide against the Qel'noran, it was little matter to return the favor.
Qel'noran ships then started preliminary bombardments against Sentinel and Yamati targets around known space. Torpedo's were launched from various staging areas and then warped to the sentinel battlefields. The primary target was the smaller sentinel craft inside of the swirling vortex of Aether but the Yamatai ships were also a pleasant bonus. The torpedo's entered the vortex at above C velocities and did not seem to be hampered by the swirling energies at all except for the inevitable spin ward velocity. As hundreds of thousands of torpedoes started to pour in, various war machines and fleets were preparing for their own offensives.
