Lirath - Space Battle
Run by: Tetra
NPCS: Everyone
The battlefield in the space above Lirath was a tumultuous mess. being both inviting targets for barrage in and of themselves, and also forcing the GIA ships to stay in close to protect them instead of allowing for more maneuvering room. The ice ring around Lirath had been blasted apart, resulting in giant chunks of ice drifting through fire- and sight-lines, providing opportunities for both cover and ambush as well as destruction for the dog-fighting ships weaving in and out of their treacherous paths. The wreckage of GIA and Ohm ships made movement through the battlefield downright hazardous -- who knew if there were still live weapons aboard any of them, just waiting to be tripped by an unwary pilot? The gravitational forces of the nearby planet Kehoe were an unwelcome addition to an already chaotic battlefield, making navigation difficult.
Ohm shrikes strafed the bare handful of GIA capital ships present, causing soundless explosions in the vacuum of space and killing who-knew-how-many allies of Transmigration 9's crew in the process.The GIA fighters seemed barely able to dent the massive Ohm Leviathans that brooded over the planet like bloated, predatory spiders, and those that were still flying were massively damaged, hulls scorched by plasma fire, some barely held together with parts of them vented into space. In some places there were things that looked like clouds of specks-- groups of dead GIA crewman, lost to the void.
Before long, new Ohm bioforms would enter the fray, ones created to compensate for the ship's mecha.
In this scattered and scorched battleground, Starfighter Command would have to fight Ohm ships side by side with the exhausted forces of the GIA, braving massive chunks of ice, wreckage, and of course, the seemingly never-ending forces of the Ohm.
And the tide of battle was already turned against them.

Re: [ OOC ]
The Tauren rocketed his suit out of the Quarter, giant beam-axe in midswing, and bisected the shrike in his path.

The almost ridiculously gleaming gold mobile suit (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090106180017/gundam/images/9/96/Orb-01-shiranui.jpg) launched from the Quarter next, following close behind Yzak until he aimed for his own targets, before breaking back and away to spray beam rifle fire. This is the sort of environment mobile suits were meant to fight in, and with the Shiranui pack's remote weapons she could take extra advantage of the wreckage - as long as she could keep control of them. Even with the best software, she wouldn't be able to manage that as well as Mu or her brother.

Phase shift armor hissed to life as the mobile suit rocketed down the launchway, and Kira immediately started locking on to targets at range - in this sort of battlefield, there was no shortage of enemies to shoot at. "Understood, General. Cowabunga and Yzak, take first. Cagalli, stay with me - we'll go second."
