Two missiles, with one designed to knock the shields down. That would be the result had the Galaxy Police cruiser not carried some of the most advanced defensive systems at the disposal of the Galaxy Police.
Both missiles impacted the shields, but set off several alarm bells within the flight deck. Haruko grasped the throttle, and the control stick and promptly yanked them back, the nose of the Galaxy Police vessel banked upwards, as it's engines kicked onto overdrive the Galaxy Police vessel began to rapidly climb in altitude, while Haruko's eyes moved across several displays, every local Fireknaught ship was being garnered for targeting solution, while the
Seina uplinked with orbital Taiyou assets.
"This is going to keep getting out of hand, I'm requesting emergency peacekeeper deployment to the Ruula settlement of Nimbasa City!"
"Emergency Peacekeeper deployment granted, I'm downloading target profiles from your ships computer now." The voice on the other end replied.
"You've done your part, return to HQ." Haruko offered an abrupt nod, before she replied. "Roger that." And then pulled higher into orbit, as several Type-0 Cosmo Zero fighters sped past the cruiser towards the planet below.
Haruko also turned her gaze to meet the massive Matokey ship that was slowly slipping into Ruula's upper atmosphere.

Down in Nimbasa, the Galaxy Police ship had already retreated, but targeting profiles were given to Taiyou forces in orbit, several sonic booms cracked through the city as hundreds of individual starfighters began their descent from the upper atmosphere.
Dozens of Renzan Type 3 Heavy Transports also descended through the cloud cover, the backs of the craft opened up as hundreds of paratroopers began to deploy, their bright blue parachutes blending in with the blue skies.
One of the Type 0 Cosmo Zeroes caught the Fireknaught battle airship, swooping down hard, it garnered a lock and a targeting solution, the Pilot grasping the control stick, before depressing the trigger.
25mm Autocannons opened fire, sending hundreds of high-velocity armor piercing rounds careening towards the Fireknaught ship from behind. A Second Zero formed up behind the first, and unleashed two AAM-3 Radar guided Anti-Air missiles, which carried a high-explosive warhead that could tear through even the heaviest air armor.
The missile careened through the skies, bobbing and weaving intent on impacting it's target.

The Fireknaught transport wasn't spared similar harassment, as Cosmo Zeroes darted in from above, peppering the hull of the transport with 25mm rounds from their autocannons. The ratta-tat-tat of their weapons fire echoed throughout Nimbasa; along with the screech of their engines. The skies filled with Taiyou paratroopers that began to slowly descend on Nimbasa.
