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).
OOC: And Borg weapons are generally of what type? I assume thermal, from the clips of footage I've seen. As for the IPBM, I am not quite sure what I have witnessed, and I believe it to be borderline OP, and classified as a WMD, as well as creating sound in space, which is impossible. But, okay: you choose to use WMDs in trivial conflicts, you have escalated the conflict. Prepare for consequences.
IC:
The ramming ships get through, as the Federation ships have been suffering constant pummelling by uncountable projectiles. As the fleet disintegrates, the ships are showered with debris of all sizes at extreme speeds, achieving the destruction of many of the invaders. Esomerian High command is worried, and sends several transmissions. One of them is addressed to the Admiral of the fleet:
"Attention, Admiral Nog, we hereby ask you to remove your fleet from the vicinities. You have employed a weapon of mass destruction, and eliminated a few thousand of our kin, and you are thus eligible for retaliation. We give you one chance."

OOC: No, they are other forms of energy. And the IPBM can't destroy a planet, I used it's maximum payload, so it is quite legal. And I just wanted the boom for special effects, nothing more.
IC:The remaining ships retreat to Federation space, but once they reach friendly space they stop and relay information to the Federation Counsel and Starfleet Command. "This is Fleet Admiral Nog, we have found the Esomerians to be a greater threat than we realized, I recommend increased security at our border facing them." Fleet Admiral Sisco replies "I concur, how many losses?" "About 800 ships, and their entire crews." "Perhaps this has been a foolish endeavor, I know not why the Counsel urged me to send in an attack force." "Our ships will put in for repairs, Fleet Admiral Nog out." *Ships are being repaired or rebuilt, 20%*
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.
(One of the ice drones tunnels away to hide while the remaining 5 spray ice to stop the fire and charge at the troops, saws at the ready)
The troops drop multiple grenades into the tunnel where the drone is trying to escape. They quickly retreat to a open area of the cave they seal off the tunnel with the drones with Ray/ particle shields. They than set off an incenerary bomb that causes a fire storm that melts the armor of the drones and the pressure of the water destroies and shorts out the drones
