5 ork roks

 The imperials seize the initiative and move forward,  launching their bomber waves

 The orks advance too, launching their attack craft against the Ulfila

 The bombers destroy one of the roks in the ork right flank

 While the ork assault boats destroy the engines of the Parangon

 The Invictus is boarded by two ork roks, but the combat is a draw

 The Ulfila is boarded by three ork vessels and quickly destroyed, the scrap from her plasma explosion causes some damage to her attackers

 The Invictus launches bombers against her boarders

 But surrenders after losing the boarding, while in his bow,the hulk's attack craft advances against the battlebarge

 The center belongs now to the orks, while the imperials hold the flanks

 The battlebarge moves around Chosin and destroys one rok with it's bombardement cannons

 While another one falls to the Parangon's bombers

 The black tempars thunderhawks destroy some assault boats, but the rest continue on relentlessly

 The battlebarge moves across the asteroid field to engage the hulk

 The Parangon,  unable to turn with her engines damaged, keeps launching bomber waves

 The cannons of the battlebarge roar,  but fail to destroy any ork vessel  

 The battlebarge is surronded everywhere by attack craft and torpedoes wich destroy her shields

 But still has their starboard broadside and bombardment cannons operative

 And inflicts some damage to the hulk

 The Parangon's bomber for their part fail to destroy one of the two remaining ork roks who is left with just 1 point of damage remaining
