Within the Imdaar system, two fleets encounter each other, and they do not appear to be friendly to each other. A proximity mine has already been used as a weapon against the other. Which fleet will be victorious? The one that can fight to the end...

Turn 1 begins. Orders are due in 48 hours.

A proximity mine is located at F9.
