The Taisho sighed, and sent a message to her son. "Verify synchronization and execute." Her voice was firm, and there was soon another burst of sound from all decks of the YSS Nadare. A Chiharu she'd recommissioned from depots like most of the other ships she had arranged to give the Fourth Fleet less of a one-sided combat viability.
Elements of the 4th Standard Fleet numbering well over the thousand mark broke from hyperspace, advancing into the system. Primary composition still sported a large presence of Ayame and Irim class vessels, but the fleet had been supplemented with Nozomi, Yuuko, and several Takumi class vessels to supervise them advanced on the moons. Smaller vessels broke in first, scanning for explosive traps or other emplacements as the main fleet closed with it's targets. In the rearguard, several Jihi ships were pulled just in case. There was a presence from the 1ST XF there as well, one small squadron of gunboats.
Akina had taken a good portion of her fleet, but not over half for the operation, and was committing all of their Intel from previous encounters into the formation. A modified version of her falling star planetary assault form was used, spacing vessels at intervals to avoid mass-scale destruction, and provide room for evasive maneuvers while taking gravity wells into account, let alone what hostile forces from the local space or the planet might throw at them. A somewhat artful show of power she was known for.
"Fire within mission perimeters."
They were there for a specific reason. Taking aim at the outer layer of defenses being constructed in the system, they opened fire and entered full combat operations. Even as that was happening, the fleet was preparing to locate and destroy the grid in construction.
"Taisho!" One of the officers at a communications station shouted, "The 10th Squadron reports successful anti-FTL field activation when we hit the system. The blackout began immediately."
"Good. Open all channels." She was happy to have been lent A squadron to stop FTL travel and communications from leaving the sphere the Plumeria had raised. It was a quick response to the SAINT intel, that much Shimizu felt was enough for her to rush out of bed in the dead of early morning.
"Channels open, ma'am."
The channel closed at Akina's command, and she leaned over the projection before her, watching for their reply carefully. She had brought the medical ships with the civilians in mind, assuming the system would be secure enough for such operations. They would have to review each person though, she did not want a tricks on a medical vessel.

YSS Nadare said:This is the YSS Nadare. All vessels are ordered to power down non-essential systems, and surrender to inspection after combat operations are concluded.
Those who do not comply with our right to defend this system from Fresspacer presence and entrenchment will be detained or destroyed. Civilians are advised to clear their attempts to construct a citadel.
Any attempts to flee local space will be treated as a sign of open hostility. I repeat, all vessels in the area are to stand down, and potential combatants elsewhere are advised to discard their weapons and move away from our operation if possible.
