The subdivision of the V’kit’no’sat fleet led by the Serni’jar broke away from the other races, taking their 296 ships out beyond the main planet to the gas giants in higher stellar orbits, picking the cold blue one with a fair amount of orbital constructs but it was the pair of sizeable shipyards in low planetary orbit that drew their attention. With only four of their defense stations to defend them and a small fleet of the rogue Zen’zat ships, Mak’to’ran had sent Nikken to both take them out and draw system defense fleets away from other targets.

That said, Nikken didn’t like what he saw. A direct attack would cost him some ships and they’d already lost plenty since entering this system without even assaulting a protected world yet. It was questionable whether or not the V’kit’no’sat fleet could destroy this system if they kept taking losses, for the strength of the planetary shields had not yet been tested, and he did not want to contribute to their losses here.

The quadruped strode back and forth on the command deck of his Na’shor, sizing up the defense fleet and nearby ships moving to reinforce the shipyards…as well as the partially completed vessels in the slips. Many were larger than the ships they’d been fighting, but without a complete record of the enemy fleet classes it was impossible to determine their function. He wanted to send troops onboard to pull computer records and other information, but with the resistance being put up so far he wasn’t going to risk it. There were many shipyards, some of alarming size, spread out across this star system, but this pair were going to be eliminated quickly and efficiently…the question was how to do that aside from a straightforward attack.

Using the data from the battle in stellar orbit, Nikken calculated how many hits from those defense stations his ships could take and set up an assault circuit with a point starting beyond their range, then when he was satisfied, the Serni’jar and Octo’mar fleets began running in towards them at high speed, but only a few ships at a time stretched out into a long line.

Nikken didn’t go first, but rather back in the 19th wave so he could monitor the damage on both sides and make adjustments prior to his personal attack. He’d ordered the defense stations and the Zen’zat ships ignored as much as possible and all firepower to be directed on the shields protecting the outer shipyard of the pair. Taking fire from the defense stations and the Zen’zat fleet, his leading ships punched through and unloaded only a handful of shots as they flashed by at high speed, suffering more shield damage on the far side as they accelerated hard to get out of weapons range.

Nikken didn’t get information back from them until they came out of their tiny microjumps, but none of them had their shields go down…which was good, and if the trend held
