The initial siege of Eden City has failed, and much of Tarentum's forces have been pushed back to their rear defensive lines. As plans are being made to retake the ground lost, the Syndicates launch their trump card from an underground hangar positioned south of the city.
Initial scans from the Magnus Kaerner reveal it to be a heavily modified Hapan Battle Dragon - "Tonberry" (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hapan_Battle_Dragon), with three Nova-Class Battle Cruisers - "Antlion, Shiva, & Cactuar" (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nova-class_battle_cruiser) for rear support with over a dozen squadrons ready to go. (Armament/Defensive Listing of the 4 ships listed in the comments.)
Rising to space, this mini-battle fleet prepares to challenge Tarentum's fleet head on.
Your goal, as any position available within the fleet (Captain, to Engineer, to Squadron Lead, to Pilot) is to depict this battle through to it's conclusion, win or loss. Due to it's upgrades, the Tonberry has several additional flaws from it's original layout, as well as the Battle Cruisers which you must deduce at least one of them if you hope to win this battle.
The full fleet of Tarentum is available for use, with the Magnus Kaerner at the lead.
