Dachia Crisis: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

Through coordination with his Knights who were at Sihi, Ancelot was notified by ''Syr Iago'' of the [[Order of the Griffon]] that everything was in place to start. Iago denoted that only a carrier—SCS Crucible—and two battleships—SCS Pride and SCS Resolute—were guarding Sihi. The attack was held off temporarily after the conditions were perfect; it had to be to catch the Guardian Fleet on surprise. The delay relaxed the new rotation, lulling them into a false sense of security.

When the attack was called by Syr's Ancelot and Iago, the Guardian Fleet of Sihi was quick to respond; a good deal of their forces were sent into the station to deal with the internal situation, just as Syr Ancelot had anticipated. Both the Order of the Mourning Blade and Griffon had been ordered to fully deploy to the surface, leaving only the [[First Forge]] and the [[Order of the Lion]] in reserve. The agents who spent the better part of a year infiltrating Sihi to conduct this attack were deliberately spread in the aft half of the Worldship to divert the attention of the defenders away from [[Castle Sihi]].

Once sufficiently spread out, Syr Iago notified Syr Ancelot to bring his fleet in to board the space station. '''Syr Benedict''' was signaled to order his Dominionist Knights on the Resolute to Fire upon the SCS Pride, the defenders spread thin. With a Capital ship in Dominionist control, firing upon the defenders, Syr Ancelot had little trouble invading Sihi as there was next to no resistance in space. Despite the Order of the Griffon deploying their Frigates, piloted by their Men-at-Arms, things were dire. Half of the SCS Crucible’s forces were ordered to engage the enemy in heated dog fights. The sheer amount of Dominionist attackers completely occupied the stalwart defenders of Sihi, deadlocking their forces as time quickly ran out.
