The battle had began. The enormously large united races fleet was attacking Modem on one side of the planet, outnumbering his forces 2:1, while also having technological versatility, as most of Modem's forces are only effective, when possessing overwhelming numbers. This is due to Modem having to split his forces to deal with the Human and Shadow fleets on the other side.
When the Humans and Shadows had entered the system, they were greeted by laser fire, which was easily blocked by their shielding technology, followed by their own fire. With only his best ships having shielding, most of the guarding fleet was decimated, leaving only his elites to guard the other side. It would seem like an easy assault, if only there hadn't been a new surprise.
From the planet surface a large glowing circle appeared, which sent out a beam of energy through one of the human ships, destroying it in an instance.
- They have planetary artillery? - shouted one of the human generals.
- This is a surprise...but must take long to recharge. Continue assaulting - spoke out the behemoth.
The behemoths predictions were true: took 10 minutes for a recharge to destroy a shadow heavy cruiser.
- Keep pressing forward. We will bomb the thing, once we have reached the planet.
The united fleet continued pressing Modem from all sides.
