Showdown

Dateline Hyde:

Yesterday a massive space battle took place above the Mykonian planet Hyde between the Axis Squadron and the Mykonian Grand Fleet. After the dust settled the Axis Squadron held their ground and the Mykonian Grand Fleet was seen limping off home. We go now to our reporter with the Axis Squadron Billy Snipes.

I am hear on the command ship Liberty and as you can see behind me the ships are still in pretty bad shape. Repair crews have been working through the night trying to get the fleet's vital systems restored. This battle, the largest in the history of the galaxy will be remembered for years to come. A short countdown of the day is as follows.

• 10:47 The Axis Squadron makes an all out attack on the far left flank of the Mykonians. After hours of fighting is barely repulsed. Both sides taking heavy casualties.
  
• 12:23 A massive attack on the right flank of the Mykonian line results in a hard won victory allowing the Axis Squadron to flank the mykonian line.
  
• 12:54 The Mykonians are routed when a large Dominion force strikes hard at their line just inside of the outer flank. It appears the Mykonians had pulled out their squadrons from that area to reinforce the far left of their line.
  
• 1:39 The squadrons just left of the Dominion far right are routed when the Mykonians attack with a massively superior force.
  
• 2:48 The center of the Axis Squadrons line holds against the onset of Mykonian forces.
  
• 4:19 The Mykonian Grand Fleet moves off toward an undisclosed location to repair.

Well there you have it. back to you, Sam.

Thanks Bill. This was a battle that will be remembered for ages. Our hearts go out to the thousands of brave pilots, crewmen and marines who gave their lives yesterday for their country. This is GNN signing out.
