IC: Dagorekh simply laughs as the felled warriors around him simply climb back to their feet and with the precision that only necrons have blast Kakaort a thousand times over into unconsiousness. (Acutaly, it is that easy).

In orbit the scythe cruiser's system have been brutally damged but Cortekh is far from beaten. "Fire, pheonix pattern alpha!" All the remaining ships in the necron fleet combine their weapons and focus them on one point on the Sayian Star bursting its final void shield and crippiling its engines. While the ship has been imobilised the necrons are in a bad way for the remainder of the Imperial forces have dispatched their own fleets to aid the space marines and Cortekh can see he is out gunned and out classed.

"My lord, we cannot hold them. We must pull back and execute the nova lightning." "No! I have the battle under control!" "But my lord I do not!" "That is simply what you think Cortekh, I was prepared for this."

Cortekh looks up to see the remainder fo the necron fleet which stayed behind over Sitrakh apear behind the Imperials. They use combined fire to bring down 6 of the remaining ships in the fleet and another wave of scythes pour forth to engage and destroy two escourts in a grim black mass. Cortekh looks relived and points to the Sayian Star; "that warship, it is the most dangerous vessel in the enemy fleet, prepare the boadring teleporters. It shall burn".

The Sayian Star is now all but helpless as on board masses of wraiths and scarabs appear and begin to eat away at the vital circutry of the ships shields, life support and the last elements of the engines. Necron warriors pin down the marines who attempt to counter attack and soon the borders are phased out leaving the Imperials to gaze in horrror at the damage wrought. The ship briefly continues to hang in orbit before its nose dips and it rushes down wards towards the planets surface.

The remainder of the Imperial fleet is now in a decided rout and Cortekh need only tighten the noose.

On the planet below-

Dagorekh turns his legion about and they begin cutting through yet another enemy blockade in the streets leaving another 5000 dead men in their wake. The Imperuials are on the run once more as Dagorekh demonstrates true tactical brilliance with ambushes and charges unlike any the defenders have so far seen. And for every necron who truely destroyed ten more walk up newly ressurected to take its place.

OOC: Snaguinior I suggest you look up how powerful necron shields are. A necron tomb ship can destroy an entire Imperial fleet without losing any one of its 10 shields. The nova cannon must be really something if it can punch through newly re-booted shields that easily. Anyway i wouldn't advise giving up on your battle ship (or battle bardge, whichever it was) without trying to rescue it first. Dagorekh just wants to win this battle and then he and his forces will be gone to return to Sitrakh and prepare the defences.
