Report from Imperial Forge World Tarkon Prime:

57 ships:
12 Napoleon class Destroyers (armed 6 hailstorm missile batteries 4

6 Trump class trade frigates (unarmed)
16 Patton class Command and Control ships (5 small UV beam
batteries)
13 Julius class Cruiser (8 Heavy Storm missile batteries 4 Legionnaire
class heavy Gauss Cannons)
Excellent, Commander well have the ships ready in approximately 5
years said Forge Master Joseph Alderus.
See it done commanded the Fleet Admiral Jason Karth. Sometime
later the admiral returned to his ship the Imperial Fist when comms
officer Preston said Sir new orders from command
Put them through
The backlit image of the commander flickered on the comms screen his
modulated voice deep and bass like even through the modulations.

You are to report back to base for a new assignmentnow

The normally arrogant admiral didnt question these ordersno one

did. Warp us out.
Terra-187098253-X Primary base of the Imperialist of the Human race
Intelligence reports you have encountered a strange new race while
warping out said the commander Sir that is correct said the
admiral. Above him the data was played outhe warped out as per
standard protocol but there was something next to him something so
small it was almost invisible upon zooming in the assorted senators
diplomats and general leaders saw a small scrappy looking drone it
warped WITH the Fist-it was attached. Im sorry Admiral but well need
to scrap your ship now said the Forge Master Breech of security. We
dont know where that thing came from or who sent it. Therefore it is a
breach in security and to be considered as such. So rather than let them
know the general deficiencies of an entire ship model He didnt need
to finish Jason knew what he was about to say. Over my dead body
snarled the Admiral everyone, even those who had never heard of him
knew he met every word he said. Im so very sorry but thats protocol
and you know it. Then protocol be damned and with that Jason
stormed out. Comms, Tactical, Weapons crews get your asses up

here! Jason ordered over his ships communication system. Were

done with this. They warped out to Noron, a nearly unknown system a
dust ball, and started the independent colony. 50 years later
Sir weve picked up a ship its one of ours
Then whats it doing in pirate airspace
Unknown sir its not logged in mission archives its last mission was 50
years ago. Dear god its Jasons ship
