IC: as the fleet is spat out of the warp enemy sighted..orders reinforce the planet an save the souls of the imperium's population down to the last human being.

admiral:deck officer(DO) sound general quarters alert all ships to battle station I want a arrow head assault patton with the cruisers an us up the front.

the deck officers goes a commlink an pushes a few button as he grabs a small loud whistle an broadcasts through the entire ship..he plays it with a light breath an the whistling fills the ship followed by an alarm an him saying over the intercom

DO:general quarters general quarters all ahnds man your battle stations..this is no drill, enemy ships off the starboard side secure the aft sides lock down ammo stores an prep weapons for battle

the ship becomes a bustling of activity men move an run around the ship locking down sections an getting to the lance batteries as the fleet getsinto formation the transports go in the middle hoping they can land safely an save the sould down on the planet..but the fleet is still weak..due to a rushed arming a new squadron of fighters an bombers could not be fitted an the fleet cant rely on their fighters either all destroyed in earlier battles..the fleet will rely on their guns an torpedoes an hope they bythem selves can fend off a powerful fleet..

patton: ill be down below getting a Valkyrie..get me an my troops planet side even if you have lose ships if you can

admiral: we'll bide you time..serve the emperor well general..

patton walks off the bridge into the flight deck where 4 Valkyries armed with only side bolter guns are the only aircraft tthey have as the 30elite kasrkins stand ready

the fleet moves into position all guns an shields ready all hands at battle stations an protective formation around the transports..

admiral: deck officer enemy fleets status?

DO:sir they out gun us an their ships can match up even to this battle ship...if we had that small detac-

admiral:they'll be here soon enough I ordered them here as soon the orks have fled seran..keep us at flank speed an tell the fleet to change positions into a diamond formation with 1 cruiser on each side get us to that planet we'll bide time..

the deck officer nods an the helms men change their course as the fleet makes a diamond shape position around the transports...the battle is of who can hit who first..an with such a small fleet buying time is all that can be done..

on the flight deck patton goes over the assault plan

patton: according to PDF command their holding 2 laser guns a n 1 heavy anti ship cannon but they don't know how long for an the only place to land is 34km east where it would take 3 hours to advance to the city..

frost:yes sir..i would request me an my kasrkins land in the city and co ordinate the PDF we will hold the city till you get there..

patton:*sighs* even if you got down im not sure if we can hold a city its to damned big..an im not committing all of our men to one city..

frost: if the cruiser holyhammer went to the surface we could turn her lance batteries on the enemy?

LT buts in the discussion

LT: the fleet is the admirals sir..im not sure if we could do that..if they took the planets defences we could be in big trouble our only option is to reinforce the out skirts of the city then take it back street by street block by block.. w ecan send your kasrkins with a few banebades an chimira's an do it while my lord general sir you hold the out skirts of the city till we can organise..

patton an frost an the officers look ate ach other in delight...

patton: easier said then done..but the emperor is with us a that seems viable..LT you an the sgt will clear out the city ill keep the enemy out till you can pick up able bodied troops fro the streets an get us a better line of defence...ok?!

they all nod in agreement with the plans set the only thing left is to get on the planet without losing more then one transport otherwise the assault is over before it got anywhere..
