Intel came through from the Enterprise and Calhoun’s ship the Excalibur was also moving out of orbit to be a part of their group. All ships were relatively evenly matched. Incoming was 6 ships, 3 Cardassian Galor class, and 3 Klingon Vor’cha, their configuration was heavier on beam weapons than torpedos and their shielding was less than Athena’s battle group favoring power to offense rather than defense. maneuverability was much of a muchness between both groups. The odds were in favor of the Alliance due to numbers.
Barclay looked over the info and made it available to all screens. ” 3 minutes to contact,” he said all business now.

“We’ll have to plan maneuvers in advance, or one ship should be tactical control. I’d rather that ship be us, so they don’t make us turn an unshielded arc towards the enemy…” R’han plugged in information. “Have we decided that we don’t care about damaging the timeline here by having an pronounced effect in an alternate universe?”

Picard had been listening in over the open comm line. “We stand ready to assist Athena, Commander Burgoyne on the Excalibur will defer to us in this matter. We are more than happy for you to take point on this”.
Barclay muttered quietly “Less risk to your ship that way…” he looked up “90 seconds to contact”.

R’han made no effort to hide the fact that he was annoyed by that order. He hoped that Koraia would reject that order, but she probably wouldn’t her duty would control her response even to the cross dimensional Picard.

“Get ready to get those shields altered the moment we get the all clear,” Luka looked to R’han. “Alright, three ships against six with weak shields, this is going to be a classic Moira situation. Alpha-42 formation, we need to split them up, possibly use the environment against them.”

R’han nodded, dividing the enemy using their superior firepower to destroy the enemy in detail. Further spliting the forces would puch the attacks on the flanking ships and away from the Athena. “I concur completely.”
The crew had been ready for this and evacuated swiftly.
Shortly after that was accomplished the six ships came in, forming two triangles, the Galor class from the left and the Vor’cha from the right in a classic pincer movement with the planet behind Athena’s task group.

“We can’t turn into the attackers because that would expose our rear to the enemy unless.....” He looked at the tactical situation. “Use the Excaliber to engage on of the squadron on the port… using circumvental attitude, all the have to do is keep the port attack force off us long enough for us to destroy one or two of the right flanking force. It is a historical tactical flaw to split a force in the face of a superior enemy. The value of flanking maneuver can be easily countered.”
