Standoff
"The Kaharach attacked Dai and it wasn't pulverised" Gram said smugly.
Gram switched frequency's to contact the Magisters fist, not waiting for a reply "Well, what do you want to do? Just give 'em the bastards back? If you want to fight, I'll do it, and we'll give the bastards a good fight and I'll make 'em pay for it but I cannot defeat a dozen odd ships. Stall for Reinforcements or give 'em the ship"
SpoilerCaptain Gram is the head of an Elite strike force, but you are correct, even he can't defeat a dozen of Vela ships without some serious back-up.
