Close Quarter Battle by Xenopredator Lyrics
Heeding reinforcement calls
From the system alpha uridani
Friendly forces on the ground
Request orbital bombardment
Routing from the taldaan ambush
Hidden in the asteroid belt
Prepare the hull
Count ammunition
The time to strike back is now
Rraey death camps built
Humans slaughtered
Alien alliance formed to undo
Human conquest
Taldaan engineering outfits them
With heavy weapons
Fire
Cruiser is sighted conflict invited
Hails yield no response
Enemy ship accelerating
Gyroscopic movement implemented
Ladar detecting a salvo of missiles
Prepare for evasive maneuvers
Anti missile coming online
Enemy attack in vain
Rraey light craft defend their stake
Sacrificed for distraction
Small munitions shield personnel transports
Defense systems overwhelmed
Trained
Genetically optimized
For null g combat
Bred to serve
To sacrifice if needed
Claim victory at any cost
To die for the war is a just cause
The needs of the many outweigh the few
Burn
Gravitational rotation
Increases target distance
Buying time to assess damaged defenses
Shells
Tear through forward command
Unleashing projectile shrapnel
Hampering our targeting systems
Retro thrusters engage
Prepare for heavy burn
Engage in close quarters
Homing missiles shot apart
Railguns establish a perimeter
Taldaan advancing with persistence
Contact shuttles deployed
Orbital rotation brings us through their lines
Perusing ships miss their target
Taldaan push to complete orbit
Falling below the horizon
Evading
Detection through
Magnetic blindness
Camouflaged in the wreckage
Floating among cooling metal and bodies
Fighters take firing positions
Unleash
Radar damped tungsten
Fired from dark positions
Enemy fleet breaks off towards unseen targets
Lured
Into the debris field
Behind our line of fire
Piercing the drive of a taldaan escort
Lead ship susceptible
To atomic blast
Breaks down taldaan to
Basic atoms
From the system alpha uridani
Friendly forces on the ground
Request orbital bombardment
Routing from the taldaan ambush
Hidden in the asteroid belt
Prepare the hull
Count ammunition
The time to strike back is now
Rraey death camps built
Humans slaughtered
Alien alliance formed to undo
Human conquest
Taldaan engineering outfits them
With heavy weapons
Fire
Cruiser is sighted conflict invited
Hails yield no response
Enemy ship accelerating
Gyroscopic movement implemented
Ladar detecting a salvo of missiles
