The organic scout ship skimmed the atmosphere, picking up readings on ground defenses that can reach orbit (e.g. ICBMs, energy cannons, etc). It then rapidly leaves atmosphere and heads for the incoming fleet.

The assault fleet is centered around the Martian superweapon, the Celestial Splicer. It looks like an unarmed gigantic golden sawblade, but this is just a fake exterior. It carries the most advanced energy projectors, Photonic Fighter Generators and fusion beams that the Martians has produced in the few Martial Years they spent preparing.

The Superweapon is easily 50 kilometers in diameter. Escorting it are dozens of dreadnoughts (all smooth flowing surfaces) and their sizable escort subfleets.

(the ratio of dreadnought:battleship:battlecruiser:destroyer:escort is about 1:2:4:6:10.)

An initial test fire of the Fusion Beams and Energy Projectors successfully destroy a small cloud of asteroids with ease.
