Emergance

A new space scene, hopefully you'll be able to see what I was trying to do here. A shot of my ComStar Oberon class warship emerging from a KF jump.

I hope you enjoy the small fiction below that sets the scene.

EDIT: I felt the size and opacity of the title text was too distracting, so adjusted the size and opacity it to lessen the impact of it. Also reduced the height by a few pixels (6 to be exact) to give a more uniform size.

EMERGENCE

The blackness of space exploded in a violent eruption of dazzling blue white light and the ship emerged from its jump.

On the bridge of the vessel, Precentor Vasilisa Nemtsov rose to her feet.
"Tactical Report." she ordered.
"Jump successful. We are eight thousand klicks of zero. KF drive is spinning down. All systems green."
"Multiple ships on sensors. Word of Blake. They have detected us."

Vasilisa nodded, 'Of course they've detected us. You can't hide a warship that weighs one and a half million tons when it jumps into a system.' she mused. “Identification if you would."
"Detecting one McKenna, three Dante Frigates and several smaller support vessels." The sensor operator replied.
Vasilisa let a small smile cross her lips. 'Good,' she thought, 'rich pickings here.' Her ship was out-gunned, but not by much and when the rest of the fleet arrived things were going to tip in coalition's favour. They'd be along soon enough, but until then she'd fight 'They can have what's left.' she added mentally. "Bring all weapons online. Full charge to the forward batteries. Load forward launchers one through ten with Killer Whale warheads. Barracudas on eleven to sixteen." She ordered the gunners on the bridge. She turned to the helmsman. "Helm all ahead full. Get us in the face of the McKenna."
"Aye Precentor, answering full speed."
"Scramble fighter squads one through four to engage their air cover. Disengage all dropships, order them to move away from the jump point and hold position till we've cleared a path for them." Vasilisa ordered as she strode forward towards the main tactical holotable from where she could direct the upcoming battle. She watched the holographic representation of the McKenna as it turned slowly to face her oncoming ship.
A flurry of reports came in from the main gunners who controlled the forward weapons on the mighty warship.
"AR-10 one through sixteen loaded."
"Primary guns charging at seventy percent and climbing."
"Gauss Cannons are locked on the McKenna.
"I have a firing solution for Autcannons one through ten."
A memory flashed in her mind, the phrase the commander of the 158th division had used to describe her vessel. 'It's big, armed to the teeth and has a hide so thick even the sharpest blade would be dulled trying to cut through it, and worst of all... You're in its way!' She smiled at the thought and then with a clear loud voice of authority she spoke three simple words, words that would bring doom to those stinking Robes that lay before her.
"Fire at will!"
