Uso said:Broadcast to known goverments and into the depth of space...
“Attention all ships, the area one light-year around Nepleslia, Nepleslia Prime, Rok’Veru, and New Kohana has been declared a Free Fire Zone. All ships seeking passage to Nepleslia should do so through the Delsauria gate due to the recent security concerns.”
Or at least that is what it was called in the messages broadcast by Nepleslia to those whom it may concern as well as by automated beacons placed on the outskirts of the area in question. The last of the new border monitoring stations had been put in place around the worlds they were intended to protect along with Nova Corp transit hubs for each world, linking them all with wormholes produced by the massive circular stations.
Meanwhile Unity Base, high above Delsauria, had become a flurry of activity as it finished gearing up to become the major transit hub of the Nepleslian Empire. Below the massive star fortress was the Novacorp transit hub, a ring of wormholes that were engaging and linking up with other similar structures within the Empire, massive bursts of light accompanying the formation of the wormholes. These were protected by a variety of shield generators and the new transportation control center recently added to Unity Base’s command facilities.
The 1st Assault Fleet stationed at Unity base began to fully deploy, its ships undocking from the port facilities. The destroyer squadrons formed a defensive ring around the station while the 6th and 7th squadrons of stealth gunships, the Shankers and the Weirdos, went into a holding pattern high up around the planet itself, the cloud of ships dispersing into the void of space as their colorful hull markings of a hastily constructed prison shank and a clown disappeared as the ships activated their stealth systems and dispersed into space. At the same time the 8th and 9th gunship squadrons of the 1st assault fleet left Delsauria entirely; they clustered together into four groups of 10 and hid in the Delsauria system.
Kokuten said:The Red Hammer gun platforms slowly skittered across Kennewes orbit. Every one of the fifty guns would be placed at predesignated points across the planet. Their distance was close enough to allow the guns to reach a point of view to the other side of the planet quickly. Yet, each point was set at a distance in where it would allow the fleets moving behind them to move freely and easily.
The nine groups of ships of which made up the bulk of the 1st Defense fleet orbited the planet in a slow patrol. Each one moving around to ensure that at least one side of Kennewes would have some sort of ship defense. Two other smaller ship groups, primarily consisting of Belly Stabbers, scooted above and across the planet. These two groups would attach and detach themselves to the different ship groups, constantly changing their direction and movement.
Situations planet side consisted of people attempting find safety from the space battle that would take place overhead. For days now, the people of Kennewes have been in wide-spread panic to find safety. The Ground forces of Kennewes were currently busy at preparing their defenses in case a ship or a group of Power Armors broke through. The Red Faction around Kennewes held their breath for the moment, and waited.
Uso said:“ALRIGHT MEN, TO YOUR STATIONS! AVENGERS, MOUNT UP IN YOUR ARMORS AND BE ON STANDBY FOR LAUNCH.” Came the order over the PA systems of the entire 1st Destroyer squadron as its ships broke away from orbit and formed up in a double wedge formation of five ships each. Marines in each ship scrambled from their beds, pausing only to make them again, before leaving to join other marines who were either on eating, or work shifts on the ship. In short order the entire marine compliment of the 1st squadron was lined up in the power armor bay, suiting up and then checking each other over in pairs as to leave no detail to chance. They would soon be standing in place inside of the ship’s launch tubes.
Meanwhile outside of the ship, the commodore’s for each wing were busy coordinating their efforts with the rear-admirals bringing the larger LHA class ships over the heads of the Avengers. The shadow of the ships blocked out the light reflecting off the destroyer’s yellow ribbon insignia only for a moment as both the NSS Thunder Child and the NSS Warrior took station inside of one of the 5 ship wedges.
The formation was soon joined by the 20 ships of the 6th gunship squadron. Two of which took station at less than two meters from a DD4, activating various stealth systems to blend in with the ships that were near them.
It would take less than a minute for the entire formation to form up and use their FTL systems to put .3 AU between each wedge of ships before making a simultaneous point to point jump toward Kennewes. The projected exit point was a 30AU away from Kennewes’s star, far enough out to avoid any interdiction devices, in theory. Upon exiting both formations of ships would activate their interdiction and dampener fields.
