I watched the ships jump to Hyperspace, i doubted it was far, the Matrix had computed that the Inwitt wouldn't simply cut and run. I ordered the fleet to resume its attack on the planet and upon looking at the scans i could see the resource fleet had already left the planetary system. Our mission was simple to draw the Inwitt forces to this system, devastate this system and then leave with minimal losses as possible. It was then that i noticed the bomb left by the Inwitt just as it went off.
The bomb destroyed the fighters close to it and seriously damaged the second wave fighters. As for the Basestars, my been closest but still some distance took the brunt of the blast. Sensors showed that a number of systems had been damaged, with nearly a 3rd of our armament where no longer functional until repairs had taken place, meanwhile there were high amounts of radiation being reported throw-out the ship, which in itself wasn't harmful to us but we had to ensure that vital systems where shielded against it.
As such i ordered with withdrawal of ground forces and ordered full ship to surface bombardment, with most of the planetary anti ship guns no longer functional it would enable us to launch a quick and swift attack on the planet. Though i doubted that unless we concentrated fire on the cities shielding we would penetrate it to destroy the cities. Though the attack on the less defended settlements and on the surface as well would render the planet less hospitable for habitation.
I also assigned the withdrawal of our forces to take place in 5 hours and all ships were to remain vigilant for those Inwitt vessels that had jumped away. I estimated that our ship would be ready for Hyperspace within 10 hours and as such tasked a two Basestars to stay with us until we could jump. For the glory of the Cylon Empire.
