Major Boyle's fighter squadron had been giving hell to the Jem'Hadar. Over 49 percent of their attacking force was destroyed. The 58th was giving their all to the enemy. The Mullurans were all pulled back by now. Most of the fighting was contained. A few soldiers had beamed down to New Canada which were being taken care of.
"Captain Bicardie, according to sensors I only detect one Jem'Hadar Battle ship, and it's limping away under impulse power. It appears to be rather hard hit. I say we move in and destroy it," Boyle said over his radio to his XO.
Colonel Tarik was on the other end of the open comm channel on the Command deck of SB901 listening in. [Major, do you feel you can you take that out and if so how will it help any?]
"Easy sir, there are over 15,000 Jem"hadar on that ship, and 11 attack ships and three battle cruisers. We destroy their battle ship it'll send a hard dose of reality to the enemy."
[Fine, do it.]
"Attention 58th, prepare to engage the big basterd at 05 degrees about 12000 kilometers from us. Attack pattern Omega Delta."
The five Hammerhead fighters broke off their attack against the smaller battle ships that were easily destroyable. And not really a good challenge.
The ships formed a flying W formation with Boyle in the lead. He saw the enemy ship limping away and it's starboard nacelle leaking plasma, and fire near the aft section of the ship. He ran a scan over the ship and detected a unstable warp drive.
"Hey listen up, they almost have a warp core breach in progress. I want Vansen and West to lock onto the area where that fire is. The others follow me and expend all remaining ordnance on that starboard nacelle."
Vanson and West broke off formation and began firing phasers and their last photon misslie on the fire. The ship began to fire only a few phasers but those even were at only 12 percent strength.
Boyle fired away at the nacelle and saw the other members of the squadron firing too. The damage was rather easy to see as parts of the nacelle started to come apart. Then a major explosion occured and the 34 meter nacelle flew off.
"Break off! The ship is going to exploded in 13 seconds," Bicardie yield over the radio. The 58th broke off at full impulse and watched the ship bend and then explode in a huge white light that was cause everyone to shield their eyes.
The comm channel was quiet for a a couple of minutes as Major Boyle scanned the area, he smiled as the scan came back.
[They are breaking and running!!] Tarik yield over the comm channel. Boyle knew now that another opportunity awaited his squadron.
"Alright lets see if can crush some of those remaining ships."
[ Major, stand down. They are in retreat,] Tarik yield over the comm channel.
"But sir, we can crush them once and for all."
[No, I won't allow you to slaughter them. Give them the dignity to retreat.]
"Screw their dignity. They have none. They used to shoot fighter pilots and escape pods back in the last War." Boyle couldn't understand Tarik's thinking.
[Major, we would be no better than them. Besides, Captain Anderson has the Jem"Hadar ground forces pinned down in a valley on New Canada. You're presence is requested there.]
"Alright ladies, you heard the Colonel. Lets go and kill some Jem'Hadar." Boyle wasn't too happy. He didn't care for the Jem'Hadar at all.
