KK. Actually Sigma, the P10 was Halo Empire's fleet that just showed itself. I wrote that before I noticed his pm saying he was activating the fleet.
I'm not going to go in as much detail this time, as battles are still raging, but I'll give you a summarized account.
The two Halo Empire fleets have merged, due to heavy losses suffered by the 4th and 6th Sigman fleet, 4th, 5th and 6th fleets have joined into an Armada. This is a graphical description of the battle, Os are the coalition, Hs are the Halo Armada, hs are the Halo's hidden fleets and S is the sigman armada and ss are the sigman fleets. (S) is talycia.
O S O H h h s s s (S)
In effect, what this means is the sigman armada is sandwiched between the 1st Coalition fleet and the 2nd Coalition Armada. Next to the second coalition armada is the Halo Empire Armada, the two hidden fleets and then between them and the planet is the three Sigman defense fleets.
Now...!!!
A TED fleet drops out of warp right in between the 2nd Coalition armada and the Halo Empire fleet. Since they're in between, the two enemy armadas can't really use their heavy weapons on the TED fleet for risk of hitting themselves. The TED is attacking the 2nd Coalition Armada, trying to break through to Sigman lines so as to relieve the burden they're under. The Coalition armadas are flowing up and over the Sigman armada and the TED fleet trying to rejoin the Halo Empire lines. All TUUAORBGODAV ships are going too fast for accurate usage of the Dreadnaught main cannons yet...
(Note: You can contest any outcome, citing factors I didn't consider. I will then attempt to compromise with you, based on the new situation. Don't abuse this part though, as I have to be impartial) (OOC: Before 6pm PST, it should be about 4 hours per turn. After, about 1 hour. From now on, I shall wait until everyone reports in, good?)
Also, Halo Empire lost command of one of the battle-stations. All troops on that station have evacuated to Halo. The battle-station is too badly damaged to be used against you and one of your officers activated a self-destruct timer. The Sigman fighters that were burrowing into the hull have been caught in the explosion. The fighters on the other battle-station are still continuing their work though. All HE fighters in K2 are not responding, presumed destroyed. The last battle-station's crew have discovered a new way to aim at distant targets, enabling them to fire on the TED battleships. The projectiles have an 80% chance of getting through. TED land-based units are encountering fierce resistance, with HE units using some sort of personal cloaking sheild. Also, a robotic adversary is sabotaging communications and supply lines. It seems it's the same system as the "Guilty Spark" unit that sabotaged Armedan reconnaisance probes sent to HE.
The BCD situation with the TD is becoming ridiculous. Since both haven't replied, I'm considering that on a very temporary hold.

Armedes, check your PMs and see if my plan would have worked. I sent them before the last update ...
For now, my partial orders are as follows:
Have the 1st, 2nd Talycan start to push forward, but now be careful with the dreadnought fire. Don't want to lose too many friendlies ...
The 3rd Talycan should move out from the main formation, and attempt to flank the 1st Coalition. At the very least, they should provide enough of an angle to devote at least half of their firepower to cover the retreat of the Desperation Armada, leaving the other half to personal defense ...
The Desperation Armada shall set their pinpoint barriers full forward, weapons to forward, assume a formation that maximizes the forward field covered by pinpoint barriers, fire everything they've got, and attempt to blow through the routed 1st Coalition. Upon doing so, their barriers shall prioritize rear and the ships will turn to complete the pincer. If the 3rd Talycan made it, they will begin a counterassault - assuming that both Coalition fleets routed to HE lines, it would be a combined strike of D and 3rd Talyca and TED (if he agrees) on one side, the 1st and 2nd Talycan and PLANETSAT on the other. If not, they will stand off from the fight for a bit to reload and get basic repairs ...
One dome has completed deintegration. The rest, at varying stages of integration, will take longer ...
Lastly, recall what is left of the 21st and 45th, and have them come home. It'd be bad to lose another 60 fighters and elite pilots, and it puts their carriers at more risk ...
This is pending the result of my PMs ...

Holy Sh*** This is a lot of PMs. Hold on, it's gonna take a while looking at everything. Man, suicide bombing is all the rage, ain't it. It's quite effective, but not so good for morale, since this isn't a holy war or anything, hehe.
Ok... the last Halo Empire battlestation attempts to move to the Sigman fleet while heavily damaged. The Sigman fleet has already started to pull away. the battlestation activates it's self-destruct, taking out a third of the fighters and one Assault carrier. All space-based ships around Halo have been destroyed. On the ground level, TED is paying dearly for every island and continent they take, however now that they have full control over the space, artillery and dropships are making the going easier.
Down in the Southern Campaign, after seeing the command ships break off to retreat, more captains started breaking formation to escape the enclosure by the BCD fleet. Communications are chaotic, but it seems that the TD has lost an entire fleet. Upon hearing this, the remaining TD ships outside the trap have overloaded their power-sources and rammed the BCD fleet at warp 7. This has resulted in a resonant subspace wave, effectively shattering the hulls of ships for long ways off. Be aware that I'm not just making this up as I go along, in Star Trek canon when a ship self-destructs, the area is effected for up to .5 lightyears. Seeing this plan, the TED ships warped away right before the esplosion, however there was some damage to drive sections. BCD ships suffered greviously, when seeing the TED ships warped away, some ships warped back to Cardassia, but the majority were caught in the explosion. From 6 fleets, the BCD now have 3 heavily damaged ones. The fleets have settled into orbit around Cardassia, pending repairs. The TED ships, losing a fleet in the engagement now number 200 ships or 2 fleets. They are heading back to E9 to repair and join up with the Homeland Defense Armada. This retreating armada will now be known as TED Assault Armada.
Sigma's fighters have fired antimatter anti-capship missiles all at once, forming a wall of munitions further decimating the beleagured 1st Coalition fleet. Sigma Dome's domes have completely deintegrated from the planet surface and are beginning a full retreat, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sigman heavy fleets are providing escort and assisting the two damaged domes. 3rd Sigman flanks the 1st Coalition fleet, with the 2nd and 1st blowing through the fleet to allow the domes to jump to warp. Halo Empire and Coalition fleets have combined and have reamed through what was left of the 4th, 5th and 6th heavy fleets. No ship from the Armada is reporting in, all presumed destroyed. 1st Coalition fleet destroyed, with 2 Halo Empire armadas and 1 Coalition armada left. The TED rescue armada is covering the flanks of the sigman 3rd fleet which attacks the right of the formation of the TUUAORGBODAV and the 2nd and 1st fleets, which attack the left. Since both Federation formations are attacking along the plane, The Coalition and one of the Halo armadas are caught in a murderous crossfire, with a 10% casualty rate in super-caps. Halo's fleet carriers have launched all bombers and fighters against 1st and 2nd Sigman fleets. One assault force of the Coalition (from the destroyed 1st fleet) are chasing after the unprotected Dome ships, which are heading to a rendevous with the fleet returning from the Assault on Halo.
OOC: I think I got everything, no? Sigma, I'd suggest you retreat, as you lost your planet and you have a total of 6 fleets against your's and TED's combined 5. I don't want to claim your entire nation wiped out. Also, Halo, you have pretty much lost your home-base. To keep in line with the campaign, I'd suggest you consider your old territory lost and request a new territory from the RP map. Or not. I'd ideally like to see (as long as everyone doesn't wipe everyone else out) a neutral zone between the two factions. Heck, you can claim the territory you lost has been reclaimed by the Coalition and form a new nationstate. Of course, you'd have to roleplay that out, with the Coalition armada attacking the TED fleet there, but it's possible and workable.
So the way it stands now, TD lost almost all their ships, except for a few ones too cowardly to activate their engine overload sequence. TED has their Assault force under repairs in their Home system, with the Halo attack doing very well and the TED Sigma rescue fleet just prevented a total massacre (not for long though). Sigma lost approximately half their fleets, with the other 3 now mounting a counter-offensive on the invading Halo and Coalition armadas. The BCD lost half their fleets, with the rest way heavily damaged and undergoing repairs in Cardassia. Coalition lost one of their two armadas and some of their lost first armada is chasing after the retreating Sigman dome ships. Halo Empire lost his home system, except for some soldiers fighting on Halo; however he has wiped the floor with the Sigman defense fleets and is now re-aiming at the surviving fleets which are attacking him.

I would like to request that Sigma Dome retreat to Atlantia, my home system. (I understand that I don’t control his forces this is just a request) Where they can undergo repairs and get medical attention. TD is on a date today and has given my full control of his ships. They will retreat to Atlantia. At Halo have my space fleet bombard ONLY military installations that HE still controls. I will also send down more troops to eradicate HE’s soldiers. At Sigma Domes area if sigma dome retreats have my forces retreat to Atlantia. Until he retreats my forces will continue to fight like berserkers. Also can I make one last request that PEOPLE STOP DOING SUICIDE ATTACKS!

Eh, crap. This'll learn me to not take the offensive ...
Meh, I was trying to go for something like 4 5 6 3 T -> O O H h h <- 1 2 (S), but I guess it didn't work ...
Pull all remaining ships completely out of fighting, and form the 1st Escort Armada. The domes should start jumping now, with the 1st Escort chasing after to destroy any Coalition vessels not taken out by the point defense systems. Only fighters with fold boosters should be out (not many) since the fleet will be jumping IMMEDIATELY after the last warp ... also make it generally known that we are RETREATING, with the entire populace of Talyca ... Have them and the 1st Escort rally at N14, then complete the jump to Atlantia. The 21st and 45th should jump directly ... PLANETSAT's not coming along, though, give any landing parties something fun ...
Good job, Axis - you took my defenses and murdered them by making me fight on two fronts. That, coupled with missteps on my part, killed me. I can only thank TED for saving I disagree ... Talyca's devoid of populace now ...

Have all my forces push to Talycan and have troops begin to deploy and have fighters and bombers cover their attack. Have battle ships begin bombardment of Talycan military insulations.

Uhh, there's nothing ON Talyca anymore, save for the PLANETSAT defense satellites ...
Unless you count some industry and agriculture in the terraformed areas around the dome sites, destroyed by the quick launch and empty anyways ...

Still land ground forces. Have the Coalition fleets come back to the HE main force.

Ok. I got a few questions here. Firstly, what is the goal of this war? Do you plan to destroy the other side? If so, I'm just letting you know this will take a looooong time. Otherwise, if you just wish to prove your point, I think the point is well proven and would call for a general truce.
TED forces have completely occupied the Halo ringworld and have started building an advance base there. All Halo Empire territory is now considered a TED protectorate.
Halo Empire territory has begun eradication of military units on Talyca, with occupation forces deployed and taking control of the abandoned military installations. Sigma Dome territory is now considered TUUAORBGODAV territory.
All survivng Sigman units have achieved their rendevous, the secret fleet pulling together to form the 21st Special Forces Squadron. Current fleet disposition of Sigma Dome is 21st Squadron, 4th Fleet, 5th Fleet and 6th Fleet and the dome group. Current fleet disposition of TED is Last Hope fleet at Halo, Rescue armada escorting the Sigma Dome battle group to TED territory and the attacking armada undergoing repairs at TED territory. TED is also beginning manufacture of a new fleet. Current fleet disposition of TD is 1 armada protecting it's home system.
Current fleet disposition of Halo Empire is 2 armadas orbiting Talyca. Current fleet disposition of Coalition is 1 armada orbiting Talyca. Current fleet disposition of BCD is 3 fleets orbiting Cardassia and 1 supply-bombard station orbiting Cardassia.
All secret fleets have been revealed and changed into regulars.
