OOC: actually Sanguinor since technically the Necrons on Tyranus VII are actually a separate faction too Dagorekh and therefore not really mine it's not OP. That's mostly just an excuse for a huge army.

IC: in orbit the Necron fleet is still retreating, but only slightly dealing damage as they go. Suddenly the Eldar pick up signatures behind them. Before what is happening is truly realised several Necron ships are behind the Eldar fleet and have done severe damage to their engines and two ships have exploded in flames. At the arrival of Forenekh's remaining reinforcements Cortekh's fleet presses what advantage they can gather firing on the Eldar from the front, effectively sandwiching them.

However the Eldar begin to slip out the sides as the trap closes, but are unable to flank the opposing fleets due to strong armour and careful monitoring. On the bridge Cortekh keeps wheezing quietly, "retreat blast you, retreat!"

On Tyranus VI the battle rages on and already the nearby landscape is becoming charred and smoke rises in tendrils up to the sky.
