MILKY WAY GALAXY
0.02 PARSECS GALACTIC SOUTHWEST OF FREDERIKA
The Milky Way was a backwater galaxy to the Trade Empire, but nevertheless close enough to Kefalonian outposts in Andromeda to warrant surveillance by the Kefalonians. The Yurians, a militant race that had been on the ascendancy in the Milky Way, had been attacking trade routes and harassing military convoys. Thus, the 1,899th Strikefleet, eight dreadnoughts, and associated convoys were sent to cripple the Yurian war machine.
Near the inhabited system of Germainia 21, the dreadnought Harporov had suffered a hyperspace engine failure and needed repairs. It was here that they were attacked by a much larger Yurian fleet, although much less advanced. While the fleet passing through the system might not have tripped the more primitive scanners of the Teuto Conclave, the massive firefight that had ensued certainly would.

"What is this situation oh mighty one?" As I walked into my outpost Office on Antyria, Yaun shoved a little sphere into my chest, letting it glow before projecting signals on a star chart. Yaun pointed to on red cluster of dots near the Milky Way, as the Futile called it. The chart refocused on the anomaly and displayed a small firefight between one large ship between a whole fleet. "We can't react in time. The ship will be obliterated by the time we reach it."
Yaun motioned his arms in a circle, "The Current Accelerator is ready for a test run. Pezir suggests we should use it and be there in roughly a forth of the time. Also, scans indicate that the larger ship is far more advanced than the fleet to which it combats. If we determine that the larger ship is of good purpose then..."
'We'll eliminate the savages involved and make diplomatic relations with the other. I assume we have not met either of them before." Yaun nodded, I looked behind me to she my little party of advisers. I twist my wrist and one approaches the chart.
"Send in fleet number H3K1, both sides have shielding technology unlike our own. The adaptive weapons of the fleet is our best bet to counteract either side." I nodded, noting that Margulius was a new yet impressive clerk of mine. I pat my head, seeing the page run out of the room.

"Wake up, we have a situation." I felt the rattling moan of Yaun in my ear. His arms thrust into my stomach, shooting me up from my restless sleep. I rubbed my weary eyes with a dash of tears watering them. Crossing his arms, Yaun stared at me. My tongue poked out as I jumped out of the spherical bed I knew little of. Not like I loved sleep anyway.

In the Field
The Fleet Hierarch entered chill two hours after Arshis's. The Current Accelerator currently charged the current on Cintaquin, reducing the time of travel greatly. In human terms, four battle-cruisers, nine frigates, two fighter carriers, one dreadnought, the experimental "Restorer" Lufyia Gesalt, and the flagship, the Avon Prime shrunk and entered "Chill-space". Only a quater went. Ten battle-cruisers, twenty-five frigates, three fighter carriers, and another dreadnought remained in the Cintaquin Master Shipyard. Upon arrival, the fleet will attempt communication.
