While Sin engaged the Discordians on the near right flank, Colviss and Orsethii’s fleets engaged them right down the center. Every Imperial Einherjar drove right into the middle of the Discordians without slowing down even the slightest.
Just like Sin, they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. And the only thing they had over the Discordians was technological superiority.
All manner of weapon systems were shot at them, of course. Thermal beams and plasma lances and cannons and rail slugs. The works. But they weathered most of the incoming damage from their enemies with grace.
The Discordians scratched and scarred and marred and chipped their ships’ robust omnitronium-laced chitin. Although the lances and beams did the least amount, the shells and slugs and missiles certainly did their fair share.
Though each hit amounted to very little, the sheer amount caused their chitin plating to crack and splinter and shatter further with every impact.
