	Katherine starts to feel the weight of recent events and vents her feelings to Stuart. She's feeling like she's being taken up by a tide beyond her control and luck is all that's keeping her afloat. This is more than she bargained for. In ~~this time~~ of strife, she falls back on her values - doing what's right by the refugees and looking after her crew. Katherine tells Stuart she's going out to fight in the cockpit due to a shortage of pilots, but still thinks she belongs on the bridge of the Hoshikuzu.		Katherine starts to feel the weight of recent events and vents her feelings to Stuart. She's feeling like she's being taken up by a tide beyond her control and luck is all that's keeping her afloat. This is more than she bargained for. In these times of strife and high emotions, she falls back on her values - doing what's right by the refugees and looking after her crew. Katherine tells Stuart she's going out to fight in the cockpit due to a shortage of pilots, but still thinks she belongs on the bridge of the Hoshikuzu.

	Waystation sensors report an inbound Combine battlegroup - ETA 30 minutes. The convoy is scrambled to leave Vicare. Captain Oberthur on the Thanatos offers to buy the convoy time by engaging the Combine warships. The Nassau and Hoshikuzu are not expected to fight alongside the Federation ships, but remain with the convoy in case hostile ships break through the lines.

	After the strike wings are eliminated, Meiks notes that something needs to be done before the battlecruiser gets into mass driver range. Stuart orders the fighter wings to target the Zaragoza's weapons subsystem to cripple fire control for the heavy guns. This is where flying the Tor bomber is useful - the thick hull ensures surviveability during the attack run and the generous capacity for Stilettos (8 total) means you can usually take out the weapons systems alone, maybe bringing your wingmen along to draw fire.

	Once the weapons ~~subsystems are~~ destroyed, the Hoshikuzu and Nassau move in to engage with Kai anti-ship missiles. To aid the missiles reaching their target, Ross advises taking out point defense turrets or weapons subsystems of the escort ships. For the Torrent-class cruisers, taking out the two ventral CIWS turrets on each ship should be sufficient. The Khopesh frigates are bristling with point defense turrets, so taking out the ~~weaopns~~ subsystems on the dorsal hull may be more efficient.

	Once the convoy reaches a certain distance from the station, they can jump to hyperspace. However, if the Zaragoza is in proximity, the mass of the battlecruiser precludes a safe jump. The Zaragoza will need to be damaged enough to break off from the intercept - she does not need to be destroyed or forced to jump away. Once the Zaragoza is far enough away from the convoy, the civilian ships can jump and the mission is complete.

	The Federation ships move into attack formations, but before the Thanatos can get into range the two Combine cruisers deploy their missile pods and launch a torrent of Javelin missiles at the Federation battlecruiser.

Close to two hundred missiles home in on Thanatos, overwhelming her defenses and destroying the battlecruiser in a single salvo.

	As the convoy make best speed away from the Combine ships, another salvo of almost two hundred missiles is launched towards the Stalwart, a Custodian-class light cruiser. With only light ships left in the battlegroup, the Zaragoza ~~move~~ in and finishes them off with her heavy mass drivers.

	After the refugee convoy defies Kakotchka's orders to power down, the Combine admiral launches her LACs and strikecraft wings. Three wings of [[Defender-class_Fighter\|Defender fighters]], one wing of [[Interdictor-class_Striker\|Interdictor strikers]] and four [[Clipper-class_Attack_Craft\|LACs]] make an attack run on the convoy. Meiks reminds Ross of his duty to protect Commonwealth civilians (and by extension the entire convoy). In this moment of crisis, Ross's officer training kicks in. He tells Lau to give him command authority over the Hopewell wings, knowing that coordinated action was the ony way the militia could repel the Combine assault.
