	The ~~original~~ assault force consisted of [[_Longy]] and [[NovaManGood2110]] both in 1k gunships. The barge, unable to escape the [[Gravity Well\|gravity ~~well~~]], simply played evasively until backup was able to arrive. The ~~original~~ relief force consisted of [[Sherbet_S]], [[MaidPierce]], [[GigaJeff]], and [[BlockBuster019]], all also in 1k Gunships. ~~The first 2~~ 1ks were sunk, and the Vegan forces then moved to escape Trench. ~~The~~ Novans ~~then~~ deployed ~~their~~ [[Battlecruiser]] ~~to trench~~, ~~but were unable to catch the Vegan Barge before it evacuated to safety. The Battlecruiser was shortly followed~~ by ~~a 1k Gunship and~~ [[~~Starfighter]] backup from [[_Longy]] and [[Thrawn31~~]]~~.<!-- wasn't sure about this part please verify -->~~		The initial Novan assault force consisted of [[_Longy]] and [[NovaManGood2110]], both in 1k gunships. The barge, unable to escape the [[Starship Gravity Well\|gravity wells]] employed by the gunships, simply played evasively until Vegan backup was able to arrive. The initial Vegan relief force consisted of [[Sherbet_S]], [[MaidPierce]], [[GigaJeff]], and [[BlockBuster019]], all also in 1k Gunships. Both Novan 1ks were sunk, and the Vegan forces then moved to escape Trench. After being sunk, the Novans deployed the [[Battlecruiser]] "NIF Repentance", piloted by [[NovaManGood2110]], to Trench, supported by [[_Longy]] in a 1k [[Gunship]] and [[Thrawn31]] in a [[Starfighter]], but were unable to catch the Vegan Barge before it evacuated to safety.

	~~The Vegans, seeing the Battlecruiser~~, ~~chose~~ to ~~engage~~, ~~with the hopes of sinking the Battlecruiser. Vegan forces further rallied~~ [[~~AssassinXX~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Solesey~~]] ~~to assist in the fight, bringing the Vegan Battlecruiser and a 12k, respectively. The 1k~~ and ~~Starfighter were sunk, then the focus was directed towards the Battlecruiser, while the Vegans awaited the arrival of their own Battlecruiser.<!-- not 100% on this either~~
	~~-->~~

	~~_Longy came back to counter the fleet with a Starfighter, but was again sunk. He then returned to~~ [[~~Orlandia~~]] ~~to pilot~~ a ~~12k~~ [[~~Destroyer~~]]~~. The Destroyer jumped into Trench~~, ~~successfully bypassing Sherbet_S' attempt~~ to ~~well, and joined~~ the ~~fight~~.

	The ~~12k engaged~~ with the Vegan forces, and ~~was able to sink Sherbet_S' Gunship~~. The ~~12k~~ and Battlecruiser ~~continued to fight~~ the Vegans ~~until Solesey was able to sink~~ the ~~12k, sacrificing his~~ own ~~12k in the process~~.		The Vegans, seeing the enemy Battlecruiser, chose to engage, with the hopes of sinking the Battlecruiser. Vegan forces further rallied [[AssassinXX]] and [[Solesey]] to assist in the fight, bringing the Vegan Battlecruiser "APOCALYPSE" and a 12k [[Destroyer]], respectively. The Novan 1k and Starfighter were swiftly sunk by the larger Vegan fleet, which then activated gravity wells to trap the Novan Battlecruiser while the Vegans awaited the arrival of their own Battlecruiser.

	~~Thrawn31 during this time~~ was ~~traveling in~~ a ~~Vesta from~~ [[~~Ilius~~]] to [[~~Aret~~]] in ~~order to redeploy~~ with ~~_Longy~~, ~~but by the time both pilots had left Aret~~ to ~~reengage,~~ Sherbet_S ~~had already arrived in another 1k~~ Gunship, and was able to ~~hold both ships down~~ in ~~a well for~~ the ~~rest of the fight between the Novan Battlecruiser and the remaining Vegans~~.		_Longy came back to counter the fleet with a Starfighter, but was again sunk. He then returned to [[Orlandia]] to pilot a 12k [[Destroyer]]. The Destroyer jumped into Trench, successfully bypassing [[Sherbet_S]]' attempt to trap it in a gravity well, and joined the fight. The Novan 12k engaged with the Vegan forces, and was able to sink Sherbet_S' Gunship. The 12k and Battlecruiser continued to fight the Vegans until Solesey was able to sink the 12k, sacrificing his own 12k in the process.

	~~The Novan Battlecruiser~~, ~~now having no support~~, ~~continued to be fired upon~~, ~~until the Vegans were~~ able to ~~land~~ the ~~finishing blow~~.		Thrawn31 during this time was traveling in a Vesta from [[Ilius]] to [[Aret]] in order to redeploy with _Longy, but by the time both pilots had left Aret to reengage, Sherbet_S had already arrived in another 1k Gunship, and was able to hold both ships down in a gravity well (thus preventing them from reaching [[Trench]]) for the rest of the fight between the Novan Battlecruiser and the remaining Vegans.

	The Novan Battlecruiser, now having no support, continued to be fired upon (with the bulk of damage being done by the Vegans' own Battlecruiser), until the Vegans were able to land the finishing blow. Solesey's second 12k took major hull damage, MaidPierce's 1k took minor hull damage, and the remaining fleet including AssassinXX's Battlecruiser remained undamaged.

	Vegan forces then escorted their Battlecruiser to safety at [[Station\|space station]] Fraternity outside [[Qatra]]. After securing the Battlecruiser, the Vegans were notified that _Longy and Thrawn31 were still pinned by Sherbet_S' gravity well in [[Regulus System\|Regulus]]. Forces regrouped and traveled to Regulus, where they were able to sink Thrawn31's 1k, and then _Longy's 12k, with the only casualty being [[~~Skull_Crusher~~]]'s 1k. _Longy successfully navigated his Destroyer to the Novan space station Threshold outside Aret before sinking, ensuring the Vegan forces were unable to recover the wreck.
