Sign up for one fleet below. Fleets whose names are in red have been taken, and fleets whose names are in orange are reserved. If the specified player does not claim them by Monday, they will be open to anyone who wants to sign up. The fleets are grouped into two alliances, NATO and the TA; in addition there are some secret factions, which can arrive any time after turn 1. Some secret factions were claimed via PM and are not listed here.
Rules
This battle uses my brikspace rules, including frictionless movement. You only really need to read the first 4 pages of that document, the rest is all ship creation rules.

Victory
The objective of the NATO forces is to destroy the freighters escaping the Vanderheim station, while the objective of the TA forces is to defend them. Each freighter is worth 50 victory points - the points go to the TA if the freighter escapes, or to NATO if it is destroyed. Freighters are launched at a rate of 1 per turn, and hyperjump away from the battlefield 2 turns after launching. They have a Silhouette of 7, an AV of 6, and 3 HP. Destroying ships also nets you victory points: 20 points for a frigate and 40 for a cruiser.
Overview of the battlefield, with the Vanderheim research station at the center.
Closeup of the research station. The four gun turrets are Heavy Lasers (rng 12", dmg 2D6+1, Accuracy 1D6+3), and are controlled remotely from the Hel Ice Belt station; they will deactivate permanently if it is destroyed. In addition, each of the four blocks around the station core are Angel Incubators which can gestate and spawn artificial angels. The different types of Angels the station can create are shown in spoilers below:
