OOC: I mined into the tunnels and deployed spec ops. The normal troops are coming very soon
OOC: Very well, but know that as you're not wearing Ocianan uniform, the guards and automated defences will shoot you on sight. Also, your empire will likely be receiving an angry transmission about infringement of borders after this is over.
OOC: Okay. They bend physics. Well, at least that would justify a few things I'll do in the future.
IC: The Xindi probes have at this point been destroyed by the massive amount of fire coming from the fleet and defence satellites. The khroniton missiles are mostly shrugged off by point-defence installations and the armour and non-essential modules carried by the Esomerian ships, which continue to fire at the fleets with their weapons.
However, several ships suffer critical damage, and their crews quickly exit. The automated systems in the ships tamper with the fusion reactors aboard, turning them into huge bombs, plunging into the Nog's ships at full speed.
The Xindi probe's ablative armor protects them from such a fate, however some are critically damaged and they fly right into your fleet, when their antimatter reactors explode they destroy many of your ships. The ships switch to phasers, and since you can't dodge something moving at or near the speed of light, or block it, direct hits are struck and massive damage ensues. The severely outdated fusion technology doesn't even make a dent in the federation shields as the continue the barrage. OOC: I use fusion for energy only, antimatter is what I use for propulsion, and it is far more destructive.
OOC: The ships aren't relying on the reactors to blast through, after all, they are ramming at full speed. The reactors are just there to melt the insides.
IC: The Xindi Probes are absolutely shredded at this point, as ablative armour only protects against thermal weapons, and have their propulsion systems shot down.
The ships ram the Federal ships, piercing them, and then explode delivering incredible amounts of thermal energy. Their shields withstand most of the phaser blasts, and use ECM to jam the aiming systems used by the enemy ships.

OOC: They have ablative armor, that will stop the ramming. Also, this ablative armor protects from more than just thermal weapons, this armor can block borg weapons. IC: Most are, but they continue firing. The shields block most of the ramming attempts, but a few get through. BOOM An IPBM decloaks near the back of your fleet and delivers it's omega payload, destroying anything in a 100,000 kilometer radius (Which includes a few federation ships).
