OOC- This is so much......................

While the Necrons fleet were rcovering, a massive portal appears in front of them and out come the entire fleet of the Iron Praetorian Space Marine Chapter Strikeforce Sigma. 1 Mars Class Battlecruiser, 2 strike Cruiser and 4 escort Frigate opened fire point blank at the idle necron fleet, but most of the fire were concentrated onto the Souless Doom. The 2 strike cruisers and 4 frigate opened a path for the strike force flagship to unload its deadly cargo, Space Marines. Dozens of assault boats and breaching pods streak towards the Souless Doom, on the way to the Necron flagship, several of the Breaching pods were lost to Necrons counter firing. But the rest managed to latched onto the Necron ship hull and the from the breach came the Iron Praetorians. Armed with Meltaguns and Melta bombs, the marines starts to clear the breaching point to allow more marines on board. The necrons responded by sending all their transported land forces to the breached areas to repulse the invaders. The fighting around and onboard the Souless Doom were intense with several of the Iron Praetorian ships suffering several crtical strike from the escorting Necron ships.

The Iron Praetorians flagship used its massive plasma batteries to punch holes into the necrons escort ships while taking several direct hits by the Souless Doom. While on board the SD, several of the breached point were overwhelmed by the necron land forces but the damage has been done, those marines gave their lives to score some gaping holes and wounded the great Necron ship. Before the Necrons get to overwhlemed the remaining breached points, the Iron Praetorians subsequently withdrewed from the Souless doom, leaving behind some surprise package for the Necrons, namely a Thermal Plasma Bomb which detonate after the marines left the SD. The marines flagship recovered the remaining living marines and the strikeforce disengage from the battle and withdraw back to Tyranus 2.

From this short and intense battle, the necrons DID NOT lose any ships but suffered several critical damage, mainly the Souless Doom, which has several damaged areas to repair, thanks to the Thermal Plasma Bomb left behind by the invading Iron Praetorians. The Strikeforce lost 2 of their escort frigate and about 40 battle brothers and their geneseed unharvested. This count like a Necron win but the point is to further delay the Necrons in their fixing period, thus giving more time for the battered Saiyan Knights and xenos allies to recover from the "cube" attack.
