Charge of the Calypsian Armada
An armada of civilian ships took off from Calypso and surrounding space stations, in a last ditch attempt to stop the approaching War Titan Typhon. The plan was to get close to the War Titan under long range cover fire from the pursuing Federal Imperial Navy battle group, and insert special operations team in order to destroy or divert the War Titan.
The plan quickly went haywire. As the armada left atmosphere and were preparing for their gauntlet run towards Typhon, they were intercepted by the missing Medium Strike Vessel Damocles. The leaders of the armada decided to divert some ships to board the Damocles, while the rest moved on to Typhon.
The ships attacking Typhon suffered heavy losses, despite the cover barrage from the Federal Imperial Navy. The special operations teams did not succeed in their mission: contact with the boarding party was quickly lost and Typhon’s trajectory has not changed. The fate of the Damocles team was equally grim: the last transmission from the landing party before it was lost revealed large “Scylla” like mechs. No number count was confirmed.
The pursuing battle group continues to pound Typhon, but at the range their weapons are largely ineffectual. Damocles is in high orbit above Calypso, and is out of range of the battle group. Ground forces are on high alert and requested to assist at evacuation locations.
