Battle over Tzenkethi Homeworld

Post by BigJKU316 »

The Cardassian Fleet moves in on the left flank of the Tzenkethi Fleet against 150 light destroyers spread across three groups. The total enemy fleet numbers 500 ships with 300 light destroyers (about equal to a Centaur Class ships) and 200 heavy cruisers (about equal to Ambassador class ships.

The large Cardassian Force numbers 235 much more modern ships broken down as follows, with group 1 being stronger than the other two forces.

77 Prefect Class Battlecruisers
45 Zeutor Class Destroyers
38 Akira Class Cruisers
75 Defiant Class Destroyers

The Cardassians open a heavy torpedo fire on group 8 and destroy 4 ships at extreme range, while damaging 10 more.

The enemy returns fire from all over the batltefield and manages to destroy 1 Prefect Class battlecruiser while damaging a small number of other ships.

The Cardassians continue to try and push down the left flank as the enemy ships flee in terror at their vastly superior opponent.

Continuing to fire at group 8 with all ship they have brought their total kills against that group to 20 ships destroyed while another 8 ships limp off damaged.

The stubborn Tenzkethi commander orders all of his ships and the station to open fire on group 2 and they achieve good success given their limited firepower.

3 Prefects are now destroyed with 2 being damaged.
1 Zeutor is now and 2 are now damaged.
1 Akira is destroyed and 2 are now damaged.
3 Defiants are now destroyed and 2 are damaged.

The Cardassians keep pressing down the stations left side while the enemy fleet is now nearly as much beside them as in front of them.

The Cardassian commander once again concentrates on group 8. Firing torpedoes the managed to bring down 8 more ships and damage another 8. With over half the force destroyed and more ships damaged that group has routed and is attempting to flee the battlefield.

The whole of the enemy fleet again fires on the 2nd Cardassian group, but is unable to do any further damage to to range and their light armament coupled with a poor round of shooting.

The Cardassian commander orders all ships to fire on the fleeing destroyers of group 9. At extreme range and against the small and nimble targets their fire is not terribly effective as they manage to destroy only 1 ship while damaging 3 more.

The enemy returns the favor as groups 1-7, plus the starbase fire on the battered 2nd Cardassian group.
The cumulative effects of the fire on the same target continue to add up as around 10 ships are destroyed in the volly. That group has now lost 6 Prefects, 6 Defiants, 4 Zeutors and 4 Akiras to enemy fire. 2 damaged Prefects and 2 damaged Defiants also fill out their thinning numbers.

The Cardassian forces have pulled back to their side of the border, pending further negotiation.
