Alex Hart
188604 system, high orbit
The bridge of the Broadsword class Cruiser, Excalibur
Alex stood on the bridge of the Excalibur, and readied himself to address the Sky Guard fleet. A technician nodded to him, indicating that he was clear to begin talking. He held his hands behind his back, and tried to appear more sure of himself than he was.
"All hands, this is Sky Warden Tasuki. In a few moments we will begin the mission to drive the Rixxicor off B7R. Our fleet of forty seven cruisers will use their FTL drives to jump into the B7R system. From there the fleet will approach the side of the planet from which it cannot be fired upon by ground defenses."
Alex pointed to a holographic projector, which put up an image of the fleet and its route into system B7R604 as well as the route it would take to its sheltered orbit.
"From there we will launch half of our fighter wings, which we will use to deploy tankettes to support the Ragnarok ground troops. With that done, our fighters can serve as air support for the ground forces as needed. Any questions or strategic decisions your captains or flight leaders make supercede my orders. Good luck and good hunting." He said, before the feed clicked off.
Alex then made his way down to the hangar where the rest of his wing should be waiting for him, and looked around. His custom U-1, the Unicorn, was first in line to the catapult, and was loaded up with a single gunpod, two ammunition racks and four submunition dispensers loaded with mini missiles. There were also four tankettes loaded into the back of his U-1 for deployment, as they were in every other U-1 for this mission.
As the fleet entered FTL, Alex turned to his flight.
"Are you ready?"
