章 6315: Jureg Assault

While the juregs clearly wanted to wrestle control over the New Cartegena System by wresting away control over the second planet, they did not advance at their best speed.

Their warships and carrier vessels slowed down and maintained their distance for the time being.

The alien carriers began to launch remarkably large strike craft that the fleeters had already classified as gunships.

Different from the much more common interceptors and increasingly more prevalent bombers, gunships tended to be larger craft that already began to take on a few trappings of warships.

Jureg gunships preferred to exchange blows with enemies, trusting that their superior transphasic defenses and punishing kinetic weapons would cause them to outlast any direct contest!
