Description
League Cruiser CR-21 attempts to run through the Draco warphole to get into Alpha Centuri and commence supply disruption operations. 2 Navy cruisers attempt to head her off and surround her. CR-21's captain uses her superior speed to avoid the beam cannons and Tractor beams. Once CR-21 reaches the warpholes event horizon she is free to enter.The Captain had to change his underwear after what he described as a 'brown trouser moment' in his log.
Colony Wars classed Cruisers as been weaker than destroyers which was odd but I just rolled with it. Also the big sphere station is a Battleplatform. Heavy installations that act as anchor points for warpholes in a system and the focul point for fleet defence in a system. Control of one Battleplatform guarantees that it can be closed for a limited time before the opposition opens it from the other side.
One such time when a warphole was closed a Navy Titan was traversing it to crush the League in Gallonigher. Unfortunately it was crushed when the newly seized Battleplatform closed the warphole.
The picture is based on one of the missions you play on Colony Wars where you have to defend a Cruiser from two Navy Cruisers that are attempting to destroy the League ship.

The comment about destroyers being stronger than cruisers is a take on Babylon 5. The Colony Wars destroyers are actually bigger and more powerful than the cruisers.

Urk...I remember this mission...This hurt. It's kind of hard to dodge those cruisers' point defenses (dear gods, what were the designers thinking?! Point defense at every vertex point?! *shudders* ) and beam cannons long enough to properly deal with them before they vape the friendly cruiser.
And that's setting aside the enemy fighters... Erm...good job...I shall know go have CW flashbacks.

Oh yeah, I had to take a few liberties with the design just to make it smooth.

Am doing, though the League fighters are proving to be a challenge.
