((Dude, the space stations aren't weapon platforms, they're generating a shield around the planet, and are behind the shield, it was a tactic designed to trap you between the shield and the new enemy. >.>
I'll roll with it though I guess.

"Hmm...lucky shadow beast...lucky, but the shield does not need all three stations to stay strong, you are still trapped against a wall with an enemy at your back and an enemy at your front."
The Ilith battle cruisers zoomed past, raining fire down upon the united fleet, their photon cannons caused massive damage every time they fired.
The CCM Fleet, having been freed up since the United fleet turned to face their new foe, once again went on the offensive, the remnants of the first wave of ships turned and attacked, and more ships began to appear from the planet below, passing through the shield, which was only designed to keep things out.
The Ion cannon was lost, but it had done it's job admirably, and CCM Drones were already clearing away the wreckage below, salvaging what was left of the space station and the cannon, they swarmed over it like ants.
"However...I can't let that damn behemoth continue to use that vortex ability unchecked..."
Modem keyed in a few orders, and set things into motion. Back up in space, a large CCM capitol ship loomed over the Shadow of Intent, it had only just uncloaked itself, and it was too late for the Shadows to take up evasive maneuvers, the ship moved in swiftly, and automated clamps attached themselves to the side of the other ship, the Shadow of Intent was being boarded.
Regular CCM Troops were the first wave that would be upon the enemy, several of the airlocks on the Shadow of Intent were already in the process of being welded open, the CCM Troops waited on the other side.
((CCM Infantry: ))
