<ON: High Orbit Above Vajra (4th Moon of Draconis Prime)

Two full-strength battle groups of Nerimian Confederation and Draconian Alliance Navy ships remained docked with the large orbital spacedocks that orbited the orange-reddish moon of Vajra, which was roughly half the size of Earth's moon. While it couldn't support life and the Confederation hadn't seen much point in terraforming it to do so, it was a main resupply depot for NDI and Draconian Alliance vessels.

Henry pressed down the button for the ship's intercom system. "Attention all hands. We will be conducting the TTD jump shortly. Grab onto something if you can." A few seconds later, after a brief loss of gravity aboard the Jade, the ship appeared at the edge of the destination system. The 3 Ayame cruisers were already waiting for him there.

The lead vessel of the Confederate reconnaissance task force was a Xeraux command cruiser by the name of Starchaser, bristling with hundreds of powerful weapons turrets and holding nearly 30,000 personnel inside of its mammoth hull. The commander of the vessel was Commodore Pedro Maya, a member of the newly formed 2nd Expeditionary Force of the NDI Spacy.

"Jade, you have the bridge," said Henry to the Avatar as he rose from his seat, as soon as the Jade docked with the Celia. By the time he arrived at the Celia's bridge, the 3 cruisers had already began moving toward Vajra. Each of the cruisers had a full complement of escort ships, which were currently docked, as they were in a friendly system.

As Henry's ships approached Vajra, their sensors would notice two Otomo destroyers de-cloaking above his flotilla. It was common protocol to have NDI vessels escort vessels to their destination.

Henry sat at the captain's chair of the Celia, waiting patiently for his ships to reach the moon's orbit. The Celia had been without a captain for some time now. Henry briefly wondered if the ship was cursed. Every high-ranking Nepleslian officer who had served aboard the ship was dead. Well, everyone but him.

The Starchaser hailed the lead Star Army ship and the image of Commodore Maya appeared before the Star Army commander. The commodore typified the image of a Confederate naval commander; tall, slim, physically fit, and with an aura of confidence that others construed as arrogance. He wore long black slacks with a black shirt tucked inside, the emblem of the NDI embroidered over the left breast. This was covered by a jacket with the commodore's rank-pin, skill ranking (1-star) and unit insignia. "Welcome to the Draconis System. I am Commodore Pedro Maya, 2nd Expeditionary Fleet."

Henry was in his white YSA uniform. His right eye was clearly cybernetic, and was quite chilling to look at for anyone who had not seen it before. "It's good to be here," replied Henry. "I am Taisho Henry Chen, Acting Fleet Admiral of Her Majesty's 3rd Expeditionary Fleet. I believe that you have a recon mission for us?"

"Yes, we wish for you to join the allied joint task force. Vaishan farseers have localized a 150 LY sphere of where the Sentinel stronghold is. Our mission is to find, and if possible, destroy it."

Henry raised an eyebrow. "I am not familiar with the species that you call Sentinel. My ships would be much more effective if you could transmit any information that you have on that species to our databanks. In any case, I have been ordered to render any help I could to your task force."

A burst transmission was sent to the Celia with all the data the Alliance had on the Sentinels. They were a highly advanced, carbon-based race that had a caste-like organizational structure. Only what was known as a Class A Sentinel was available on the biological data.

The databases aboard the 3 cruisers were immediately updated with the information. The engineers and the few scientists aboard the ships began thinking of ways of modifying the sensor and weapons systems to their advantage. "Thank you," said Henry to Pedro. "I believe that my ships are ready to begin the mission at any time."

"Very well. In my current battle force plans, we have designated the Star Army element as the reconnaissance screen. The Draconian Navy element will provide your immediate cover and serve as skirmishers and my unit will serve as the heavy combat unit."

"Sounds good to me," replied Henry. "My ships will move into position as soon as your fleet undocks."

The Sierra-Romeo destroyers of the NDI battle group opened up a series of wormholes underneath the task force attached to the docks. As each ship detached from the dock, they began to descend into the wormholes. "Very well, preparing for deployment to the Zeta Serpentis system."

Henry's ships slowly moved into position, and disappeared into the wormholes along with their NDI allies.
