The Clock has just struck midnight, and the battle has raged for more than 8 hours. The bulk of the Romulan fleet has been warded off by the valiant Coalition defense fleet, but not without a great deal of loss. Of the 140 ships in operation, defending Andoria - only 100 appear to still be at least mildly operational.

The Big problem for the defenses are the three modified warbirds. They seem faster, more agile and far tougher than any Romulan vessel previously encountered. Captain Archer has managed to identify and confirm a similarity between the Romulan modifications and the modifications made on an Arctic Research vessel on earth 3 years ago.

Fearing the worst, the fleet has attempted to engage the Warbirds from a distance, giving plenty of space to retreat from their weapons.

At This stage, the Coalition's only hope is for Andoria to retake their defenses, and begin offering as much support as possible with their orbital defense satellites, and Surface to Orbit cannons. With those assets restored, Waiting for the Xindi reinforcements will be a great deal easier...
