The attacks weren't just at Sian, but at Sian, was the largest attack. Twenty or thirty corvette-sized frigates, fifty modified Lola III's, escorting a dozen cruiser-sized vessels, with hundreds of fighters launching and hundreds of missiles sent into flight.
The defenders of Sian included twenty Capellan Wugongshuan-A and B semi-stealth frigates, a squadron of Capellan pocket warships, hundreds of fighters from both space and land bases...
Additionally, the assembled naval might of one Combine built Kaga carrier, Four Clan Wolf built Mjolnir-C cruisers, the CWS Dire Wolf and her assault dropships, Four Free Worlds League IIIdestroyers and their dropship and fighter escorts, Four Kentares class "Escort carriers" and a Fox class with four Overlord Pocket Warships (A4), six Talus variant sloops of war, all of their fighters, twenty Sampan IV's, Eight Landmark class Destroyers, four Marsden Class Cruisers, and the Battleship LCS Frederic Steiner and the combined fighter, dropship, and smallcraft complements of those vessels.
'Shoot the blank spots' became 'shoot the things our last shots revealed' in quick succession.
