The Klingons close quickly as the Romulan commander elects to hold his position.

The two groups swap fire as the range rapidly closes.

The Klingons lose 357 ships out of their 1,700. A further 714 are damaged as the Romulan commander fires across the whole of the Klingon fleet.

The Klingons focus on the light screen units of the Romulan fleet and inflict 200 losses among the Praetor Class ships as well as a further 20 on the Imperious Class Destroyers in the screen.

The Romulans fan out to either side and orders their units to keep their distance from the Klingons as the Klingon commander tries desperately to close. The more manuverable Romulan light units are able to stay out of Melee range, but only just.

The Romulan commander prepares to move in for the kill when suddenly alarms begin to sound on the bride. Klingon ships are decloaking to the rear of the Romulan fleet. 3,390 Mogh's emerge in 10 groups directly aft of the Romulans.

The Romulan fleet continues to focus its fire on the badly outgunned Klingons to their front and delivers a crushing volly of fire, knowing they cannot turn to engage their new tormentors yet. Outnumbered 2-1 and facing many cruiser and battle-cruiser sized ships the Klingon destroyers crumble and damaged units retained suffer heavily.

Of the 1,700 Destroyers deployed to the front 1,513 now are destroyed with the remaining 187 being damaged. Those groups are now combat ineffective and incapable of taking further action in the battle save defending themselves.

In a last act of defiance the ships of the front Klingon group open fire on the Romulan screen and wipe out the remaining Praetor Class ships, bringing their total kills to 562 of that type along with 20 Imperious types. 40 Imperious types in group 3 are damaged.

Half of the decloaking Mogh's open fire on Romulan group 13 comprised of 239 Norexan Class Battlecruisers and inflict crushing damage on their much larger oppostiion, destroying more than half the group in their first volly (124 destroyed) and damaging all remaining ships. Group 13 can no long manuver and will only defend itself for some time. The other half open fire at the Romulan group 12, comprised of 400 Norexan Class Battlecruisers but with the distance being greater the fire plays to less effect here as 32 are destroyed and 70 are damaged.

Romulan Remaining
Group 1- Destroyed
Group 2- Destroyed
Group 3- 273 Imperious Class Ships
Group 4- 293 Imperious
Group 5- 215 Exchequer
Group 6- 122 Midas Class
Group 7- 250 Exchequer
Group 8- 250 Exchequer
Group 9- 244 Profit
Group 10- 244 Profit
Group 11- 400 Norexan
Group 12- 368 Norexan
Group 13- 115 Norexan (Immobilized)

Total: 2,774 Remain

Klingons

Group 1- 22 Remain (Immobilized)
Group 2- 33 Remain (Immobilized)
Group 3- 33 Remain (Immobilized)
Group 4- 33 Remain (Immobilized)
Group 5- 33 Remain (Immobilized)
Group 6- 33 Remain (Immobilized)
Groups 7-16- 339 Remain in each

Total: 3,577 Remain

As the Romulans prepare to move the remaining Klingons in the northern decoy group close to ram.

Romulan Group 5 loses 52 ships to raming as the slower Exchequer classes are unable to avoid the onrushing Mogh's.

Romulan Group 3 loses 21 ships as some of the more nimble Imperious Class ships are able to evade.

Romulan Group 4 loses 27 ships as they are taken by surprise by the onrushing Moghs of group 5.

Romulan Group 6 loses 30 ships as they are also taken by surprise by the onrushing Moghs of group 6.

Romulan Group 8 loses only 15 ships as Klingon group 4 rushes upon them due to distance factors.

Klingon Groups 1-6 are now destroyed.

The Romulan fleet beats a hasty retreat away from the new Klingon threat and then turns around to face it with the exception of the ponderous Profit Class Battlecruisers, which can do little but turn in place and face the onrush of enemy vessels.

The Klingons again choose to press to very close range.

The fleets collide in a fearsome exchange of fire at near point blank range. Thousands of ships burn and the battlespace is choked with corpses.

Romulan Group 7 and Klingon Group 9 fight to a bloody draw, with each losing aproximately 30% of their total strength and seeing twice that number damaged as the tiny Mogh's sting away at the 4 million ton giants of the Profit Class.

Klingon Groups 8 & 9 conduct a converging attack n the exposed Romulan group 11 that is executed with particular skill and vigour and come away victorious swatting 148 of the Norexans from the sky while losing only 62 of their own number.

Klingon group 10 attacks Romulan group 13 at close range and wipes out 115 more of the Norexan class ships, destroying that whole group, for a loss of only 78 of their own number.

Klingon groups 13 & 14 attempt to repeat the feat of groups 8 and 9....but the Romulan commander reacts with skill rather than panic and the heavy fire from the battlecruisers drives them back with losses of 122 ships in each group, again a paltry 33 kills.

Groups 15 & 16 attack the giant Profit class ships of group 10 and overwhealm the slothful monsters completly destroying 185 against neglibile losses of 20 destroyers in each group.

Romulan groups 7, 3 and 5 open fire on Klingon group 11 and overwhelm its defenses and blast 142 of the pest from the sky. The Klingons return fire and destroy 70 of the Romulan destroyers in group 5.

Romulan groups 4 and 8 open fire on group 12 and manage to destroy 68 ships in the process. The Klingons return fire on group 4 (eschewing their orders to fire into the melee action and risk their comrades lives by firing at group 12) and manage to destroy 93 Romulan destroyers.

Heavy damage occurs across all fleets (OOC: Generally twice what was killed). The following ships remain.

Klingon Group- (Original) -Lost -Damaged
1-6 Destroyed
7 (339) -108 -220
8 (339) -31 -61
9 (339) -31 -61

11 (339) -142 -197
12 (339) -68 -132
13 (339) -122 -217
14 (339) -122 -217
15 (339) -20 -44
16 (339) -20 -44

Undamaged Ships- 1,299
Damaged Ships- 1,349
Destroyed Ships- 2,442

Romulan Group- (Original) -Lost -Damaged

1 and 2 Destroyed

3 (293 Imperious) -41 -40
4 (293 Imperious) -120 -173
5 (215 Exchequer) -122 -93
6 (122 Midas) -30 -0
7 (250 Exchequer) -80 -163
8 (215 Exchequer) -15 -0

11 (400 Norexans) -148 -242
12 (400 Norexans) -131 -4
13 (239 Norexans) -239

Undamaged Ships- 821
Damaged Ships- 930
Destroyed Ships- 1,761

The Klingon commander orders more suicide attacks by his damaged ships. The Romulan commander counters by placing his damaged units in between as best he can and the following results.

220 Mogh's of group 7 destroy 132 Profit class ships of Romulan group 9.

122 Moghs of groups 8 and 9 destroy 86 Norexan's of group 11.

434 Moghs of groups 13 and 14 manage to destroy 108 Norexans of group 12.

88 Moghs of groups 15 and 16 manage to destroy 54 Profits in group 10.

*Will post map tonight.

The two fleets attempt to control the flanks and each flank degenerates into a larger melee leaving two swirling masses of ships fighting it out.

On the left the Klingons crush their opposition and wipe out Romulan groups 1, 7, 3, 5 and 11.

On the right the Romulans return the favor, destroying group 12. Groups 15 and 16 launch their remaining damaged units in suicide attacks and kill another 110 Romulan ships.

At this point the Romulans are left with 423 ships of various classes on the right with 196 of those being damaged. The Klingons have 939 ships remaining on the left with 378 being damaged.

The Romulan and Klingon ships close once again on each other. Neither side is able to manuver to advantage and the fleets again degenerate into a single large melee action. The Klingons have the advantage in numbers and firepower about 4 to 3. The Romulans fight with the desperation of a people making their last stand....

The Romulan ships lash out desperatly and destroy 522 of the onrushing destroyers and leave another 411 heavily damaged. The Klingon's stagger in the face of this fire and only manage to destory 121 of the mostly cruiser class ships they are still facing. However they damaged 241 more ships, leaving only a handful (61) of undamaged units among the Romulan fleet. The remaining Klinon destroyers close with the intent to ram the remaining Romulan ships. The damaged Romulan units fling themselves in the path of the suicide ships in a battle of mutual annihilation. The remaining 169 Moghs charge in on the final 60 units of the Romulan fleet...

And silence falls over the field of battle. A single Norexan class ship, heavily damaged, limps off back towards Northern Romulan space leaving 8,601 ships destroyed and burning in space.
