Citrio quietly sat at his command chair, leaning forward curiously as he saw something on one of the view screens. A moving dot, and a feeling that came with it. A moment later the sensors officer chimed in."Sir, we have picked up on the convoy." And with that, Citrio grinned.
"Let our mercenary friend know that our prey is in sight." He said with a chuckle before leaning back in his chair. The comms officer sending out an encrypted direct message to the mercenaries Citrio had hired. The convoy was here and now was the time to strike. The Jupitris class began moving on a intercept course. The massive behemoth of a ship lurching through the dark as its massive engines propelled it.

The requested Sadalahn Class ship the "Queen Anna" briefly floats there until the word was given. Lucius had angled to appeared to be moving through the shadow as the much smaller and nimble ship was underneath the larger ship using it to move in undetected from sensors until they actively assault to make any incoming ships expect only one large ship instead they would be able to ambush any incoming support.
"Easy boys... we got this... once we get in the range we'll deploy mobile suit teams... and Squad 2 will be armed with drills." After getting the message, he nodded to his coms officer before the engines ignited and the Mercenary Ship leapt out of the darkness of the much larger behemoth onto an intersection course with the fleet before deploying a series of mobile suits and the primary batteries rotated to aim towards the fleet.
The mano-eye of the Nightengale Sigurd shines with an emerald glow in the midst of the darkness as it launches out along with the First Team as it flies towards the convoy before hailing them. "By order of Admiral Rozengarten and authorization of Mars Zeon, we have orders to stop your ships to scan your ships. We have reason to believe a nuclear device or weapon was implanted among your cargo. You are ordered to slow down or we will open fire." Lucius's voice was the most official that he could afford pretending to put every bit of effort into his performance. His units still bear their Neo Zeon markings as they yet to remove them all completely so it wasn't a completely half-baked lie but still better to be safe then sorry.

The massive hulking Jupiter Energy Fleet ship was being escorted by Clop Class. It was a buzz with movement."Attention Admiral Rozengarten. This ship belongs to the Jupiter Energy fleet and is thus neutral in this conflict. Your vessel will divert course. Otherwise you will be in breach of the treaty."

Lucius was amused by this, they mistaken him for the general but he shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm not the admiral but my orders were quite clear and we also agreement by the governments of Jupiter. We are merely asking for a scan but should you refuse we will defend ourselves." His voice carried a bit of finality as his mobile suits prepared their attacks.
In truth regardless if they accepted or not they would attack using this dialogue is a type of distraction to get closer to the primary target.

"Defend yourselves? You are the ones threatening us. The treaty is rather clear. Any attempts to stop our vessel will result in you and your ship being flagged as pirates. Much like the renegades your government left in Jupiter."

This sham had grown tiresome and after a signal to his forces they began. "Very well by the orders by the executive branch and the lady chairwoman. We will stop you for conspiring to smuggle illegal nuclear armaments to our enemies." With the distraction finally at a end, he simply said as the mobile suits begin to scatter off the hall the ship as they begun their attacks.
The mobile suits attacked in 3 waves with the kill team guarding the rear while Lucius and his consisting of Zulus armed with heavy Shields and rifles were flanking the massive red mobile suit leading the spear. At the heart of the formation was a pair of old zaku III equipped with a Heavy Drill package meant to tear through the armor of ships.
The ship itself begin to unload a payload a fire power as the Queen Anna fires a heavy barrage of long-range missiles from their ports to provide the mobile suits cover.

The Jupitris having not been idle during the communications had been launching groups of mobile suits. They launched four groups. The first two being lead by two MSZ-013 Mass Production Type ZZ Gundams and the next two being lead by two MSZ-007 Mass Production Type Ζ Gundam. Each group consisted of ten RGM-89R Jegan A-Type. They formed up with the first two leading a counter assualt from the middle and the other two moving to flank from the sides.
The clop class began to launch it's 6 RGM-89D Jegan D Type to act as a screen. The ship itself began to return fire on the Queen Anna. The Queen Anna's missiles struck the Juiptris class. One of the massive helium tanks exploding in a brilliant light. But fortunately for everyone near by did not ignite the remaining tanks. The clop launched six armor piercing missiles at the Queen Anna while peppering it with its main guns. Its defensive guns were constantly firing.

The ship shutters from those missiles that didn't explode from the crossfire tearing a small chunk in the reinforced plating scorching the haul from the impact of one of them. The Queen Anna's main primary batteries of 6 Mega Twin-Mega Particle cannons begin to charge to their full-power to bombard their targets while the remaining firing laser and missile towers begin firing a spray of anti-mobile suit fire upon the enemy Mass Production units as well exchanging fire with the enemy ship. "We are taking minor damage but holding. Everything is going as I expected. You can expect all six Primary Batteries will be fully charged and ready for bombardment." A calm voice from the central deck of the ship stands in his polished ex-military uniform with his hair styled back appeared on screen after his signal was beamed directly to the Commander's mobile suit.
"Thank you, Shay, remember to wound not kill the ship. Once it's disabled rest are fair game to loot or capture at your call." Lucius cheerfully remarked with a chuckle before looking at the person on screen. The official-looking officer simply chuckled with a wide grin. "Don't worry 'Commander' someone's gotta pull your ass out of the fire ain't the first time... remember if you had asked me for that last job on the moon, we'd still have a fleet by now but you rushed it. Anyway.. good hunting and I'll contact you if things change tactically speaking." He signed off before leaning back into the commander's chair as he quietly studied the tactical screen to get prepared for the next stage.
"God damn Hughes... didn't need to rub it in." The two were the best of friends with Lucius the hot-blooded animal and Shay being the tactical mind to make his madness make sense, they've been through so many adventures long enough that he 'knew' what went underneath his skin. He muttered a curse under his breath before himself thinking over that last line while his massive mobile suit directly engages the enemy units. The Zulu's squad were in a tight formation behind Lucius using their shields in a turtle formation to protect themselves and the Nightengale themselves before breaking off once the Mega Particle Cannon at the chest of a large bright yellow beam through the enemy lines intending to break through their line to fly directly at the rear of the Jupitris attempting to disable one of their primary engines as they planned.

A breach in the line was made as mega particle beams sizzles out twinkling in the void of space. Explosions rocking the hulls of ships and mobile suits shattering upon impact. However through the debris and smoke a MSZ-013 Mass Production Type ZZ Gundam was focusing down on Lucius. Flanked by two Jegans to cover its flanks the Gundam. It charged up it's Simplified High Mega Cannon, and then fired. Sending a powerful beam towards its target. Wanting to shatter the center of the line.

The green mono-eye of the Nightingale moved from side-to-side to gather it's location. "Ugh... Crap! Another Mass-Production ZZ Unit... Fantastic! Shield Arrow Formation!" He barked out an order as the Zulu's personal squad pointed their large heavily reinforced shields forward to act as a defensive barrier to protect from the last blast in a tight arrow formation. Lucius estimates that they are able to handle a single blast thanks fo their anti-beam coating but the second time won't be so lucky. The beam melt through the large haul of the shields even scorching the armor of one of the Zulu's that held the wall melting the metal and deforming it's right arm.
Shay in control of Queen Anna's bridge continued his order to bombard the target ship aiming for their weapons emplacements and rear of the ship to disable their engines. A officer runs up to him on the hall before speaking with a clear voice. "Sir the primary batteries are primed and awaiting your orders." The bridge crew officer said with a clear voice before studying the tactical map. "One Battery fires at the target in the firing emplacements to minimize damage to the ship while the other two fire upon the nearby escort ships to support our front-line to cut their advance so they don't reinforce the lead ship. Now fire when ready." Shay explained to his bridge officer calmly his logic instead of wasting the Queen Anna's Firepower into a single ship choosing to spread it across three targets at the same time to maximize battlefield tactical viability while leaving Lucius and the mobile suit teams to clean up the mess.
Thunder exploded from the cannons with a powerful "WUSH!" sound as the twin Mega Particle batteries of Queen Anna fired in a volley first at their primary target before the next two aimed at the closest escort ships nearby. While team 2 begins to move underneath the ship awaiting the clearing of the bombardments before they begin their assault upon the ship itself.
