Star Force: Sav (SF51) (11 page)

The Skarrons were bringing in an overwhelming number
of ships, not to fight, but to blockade the planet. If the Dvapp or Star Force
wanted to fight them, they’d have to come out away from the Sentinels to do it.

Paul frowned, having hoped they’d be arrogant enough
to assault them directly, but apparently they weren’t going to be that nice.
They also weren’t trying to run troops down to the surface either, though Paul
could see some of their transports within the fleet and a scattering more still
coming in along the jumpline…which suggested that the ship count was going to
get well in excess of 10,000.

Rather than be bold, the Skarrons were being cagey,
which was a new trick for them…or perhaps maybe an old one that they just
hadn’t shown them yet. Regardless, this was going to be an altogether different
confrontation, with Paul already brainstorming ways to fight it.

Before the Dvapp could do anything stupid he got their
commander on the comm and began having a chat about strategy, all the while
Paul’s harassment fleet in high orbit was busy sniping ships and picking up a
scattering of kills.
