Turn 27-8
A new Fleet Yellow arrived at the Imperial main base.
The 3 Rebel divers and 2 blockade breakers struck on the harbored Imperial fleet.
Rebel startup with a diversion force of blockade breakers.
They don't last too long against the coastal battery, but win enough time for the divers to sneak in.
They manage to get past the minefields and the patrolling destroyers, but cannot do any harm to the heavier enemy ships. Some take light hits when sighted by the destroyers but hold out long enough to make their escape.

I: 4 Destroyers lost
R: 2 Blockade Breakers lost

1d10 on the city's resistance: result = 8. The citizens are welcoming the Rebels after the tyranny of the Imperial admiral.
The cost of sinking most of the Imperial fleet is clearly shown: the Rebel losses are higher than their industrial capacity would allow. Ingre Harbor's docks are commissioned to produce 2 destroyers and 2 cruisers in 10 turns.
The 3 Rebel destoryers just made in Port Novis destroyed the coastal guns at the nearest cape, then moved up to Eastern End.
The remaining Imperial fleet enclosed on Ingre Harbor, ready to block the Rebels' way.
