The Tau, despite its damage, pursued and sunk the remaining Hydran ships. In a display of sheer cruelty and contempt, its crew also turned their wrath onto whatever sailors had survived the Tau’s assault. Not a single Hydran man who entered the strait left it again.

The Draco was sunk due to this critical error, and with the Sirius not having the firepower to match the Tau in head on combat, it was forced to attempt a retreat alongside the wounded Procyon B. However, the Antareans did not relent.

Sirius, the Hydran battlecruiser, had until now been engaging Antarean destroyers. Due to this it was too late to assist the Draco. Both the Draco and Tau had sustained immense damage, but what could’ve been a decisive volley from the Draco skimmed just above the Tau.

The Draco and Tau (Antarean battleship) entered each other’s firing lanes soon enough, but the prominence of islands made it hard for either ship to get shots off. A crucial decision from the captain of the Draco was to turn port, whereas starboard would’ve kept the Tau in sights.

The two destroyers alongside the Hydrus fleet, the Procyon A and B, advanced separately and turned around the incorrect island, accidentally exposing them to Antarean cruiser fire. While the cruiser was sunk, the Procyon A was sunk and B was heavily damaged.

As the area was extremely narrow, Hydrus high command believed it to be nearly impossible to lose, due to the capability of their flagship, the Draco. Despite this, a series of miscalculations would ultimately steal an almost certain victory.

The Battle of Sagittarius Strait was a crucial moment for the Antarean war effort, as it followed a series of defeats at the hands of the combined Hydran-Orion navy. The hard-fought defence of the channel was not an easy loss for Hydrus. Continued in replies

With a speed comparable to that of a destroyer, and firepower to rival a battleship, the Rubrum was among the most feared weapons of the Antarean navy. With ships like these, it is truly astounding Antares lost the Forman War.

Rear Admiral Ruca @thehatted.bsky.social · 15/01/2024

On each side of the Rubrum there is a dual-gun secondary cannon, and a light 37mm anti aircraft “Pompom” gun. Full broadsides could prove lethal to light cruisers and aircraft alike, with the Rubrum in particular being favored for both uses.

Rear Admiral Ruca @thehatted.bsky.social · 15/01/2024

On the back there is another 3-gun 203mm cannon, as well as a lighter secondary cannon mounted on top. With more dual purpose cannons, all ends of the ship possess formidable AA capacities, as well as good anti-destroyer abilities. It also carries a light hydroplane, typically used for scouting.

Rear Admiral Ruca @thehatted.bsky.social · 15/01/2024

On the front of the ship lie 3 3-gun 203mm cannons, making incline broadsides deadly to smaller ships and devastating to most cruisers. Also emplaced on the bow are 2 medium AA guns, and one dual purpose cannon. Spearheading with the Rubrum was a common tactic by its captains.

The AIS Rubrum is the Antarean Navy’s main heavy cruiser class. Dominating naval combat from Sagittarius Straits to the Libran Ocean from 1938 to 1952, these formidable vessels struck fear in the hearts of Commonwealth and Orion sorties alike. Continued in replies

Okay so while I was falling asleep I had a realisation. One of the key things that completes hypno corruption subbing for me is that feeling of betrayal Becoming enraptured by the idea of 'my own' compelled desire or against my will that it starts to change me mentally and behaviourally... 1/2

Affirmations of this truth hit especially hard when they really exemplify the growing change. Some resistance or no, it's happening. I'm falling. I'm doing as they say. I'm affirming how I will do exactly what they tell me regardless of moral standing or who and what I was before~ 2/2
