The Battle of Evensong is a decisive battle between the Superiority and the Defiant coalition of planets which takes place at the outpost Evensong.[1]
Background
The DDF gained control of vital intelligence during their raid at Luna, which is where they learned that the Superiority held a vast number of taynix together in one place at Evensong, their main communications hub. Winzik began gathering forces there, a fact which convinced Spensa that the tactical thing to do was to attack the Superiority there instead of waiting for them to attack at either ReDawn or Evershore.[2] In the meantime, the Superiority opened communication with the delvers and attempted to make a deal to gain the delvers' help in defeating the DDF in exchange for destroying Spensa.[3] This deal led to Brade using one of the times Chet lost control of his emotions to hyperjump to Detritus and kidnap both Spensa and Doomslug.[4][3][1] Winzik was about to back off and dismiss the fleet gathered at Evensong, so Brade killed him and took over control of the Superiority openly.[5] Jorgen accelerated the timeline of the attack after M-Bot told him that he thought Spensa was at Evensong.[6][7]
Battle
The Defiant coalition of planets hyperjumped Detritus to the vicinity of Evensong,[5] and Brade immediately instructed the captains of the fleet of fighters to make the coalition fighters bring the fight to the Superiority, where they would be protected by their field of inhibitors.[6] The coalition sent the Defiant toward the battlefield. As it advanced, Captain Becca Nightshade broadcast a speech to the Superiority officers warning them of her intention to destroy them if they did not back down.[6] Brade then initiated contact with Jorgen as they waited for their forces to approach each other.[7] Jorgen informed her of their intent to free the taynix before demanding that the Superiority surrender. Brade, scornful of his openness with his enemy, ordered her staff to lock down all of the hyperslugs.[1]
DDF's arrival; Superiority forces not all ready and not all willing. Original plan to rescue inhibitor slugs and their refusal. M-bot helping in the nowhere to sow doubt among the delvers.[8] Brade and Spensa tussle; goings on in the nowhere. Gran-Gran's sacrifice with the Defiant. Killing of taynix. Changing of the delvers, their connection with and rescue of taynix. Brade's death.
Tactics and Forces
As the coalition lacked inhibitor taynix, they sent out their fighters in pairs and utilized the kitsen cytonics to protect each pair with its own little inhibition field.[7][1] Brade devised tactics based on the assumption that the humans would be sentimental about protecting it and ordered the Superiority forces to pressure it.[1] The coalition planned to send its fighters against the individual inhibitor stations surrounding Evensong, with the idea that if they could disable enough of them they would then be able to hyperjump Detritus in range to use its weapons. They planned to use their own inhibitors to keep the Superiority forces, and especially its command, from escaping. In the meantime, the coalition's goal was not just destruction of the inhibitor stations but to get the taynix inside to switch loyalties and aid in taking down the Superiority.[9]
Kimmalyn and the crew of the Swims Upstream found themselves largely ignored on the edge of the battlefield after defeating an enemy ace, so they attempted to approach one of the taynix in an inhibitor station. Making the mistake of shooting it, the pair of fighters fled as the vastworm attached to the station began to pursue them.[10]
Installation shield up[1]
Superiority: three carriers, two battleships, six destroyers, superior number of smaller ships[7] Defiant coalition: one flagship, (?) kitsen cruisers, Detritus, "set of long-range, ultra-speed missiles"[7] "Relatively equal" number of starfighters[9]
Aftermath
Superiority largely falls apart. Taynix have authority over all hyperjumping (not settled how to deal with cytonics). Deal between taynix and delvers.
