OOC Mood Music: Attack on Glimmergold Intro By Wes
Scrapyyard System
It was the first month of YE 43 when all of the extensive planning and tense debates, and international military coordination was coming to fruition. United in their resolve to end the threat of Kuvexian Invasions in the Kikyo Sector, a massive task force began to assemble on the outskirts of the Scrapyard Star System (UX-12). First, the Star Army's First Fleet arrived in a teal shimmer of hyperspace folds that would make a fireworks display operator jealous, led by the immense Izanagi-class flagship YSS Battle of Yamatai, a hulking mega-dreadnaught larger than even the Star Army's Star Fortresses. With it were dozens of sister dreadnaughts, thousands of battleships and tens of thousands of heavy cruisers, gunships, and whatever the Star Army could spare, including numerous smaller task forces, ships they'd just purchased from Origin Industries and other builders, old ships dragged out of mothballs, and even some volunteer ships from the security forces of major Yamataian Corporations. Next, more fleets began to arrive, including the second, third, and seventh fleets. It was one of the largest Star Army operations ever undertaken, and involved a larger portion of the Star Army's ships than any operation since the Battle of Tau Ceti.
A shadow passed over the Star Army fleets as two huge machine planets appeared out of the darkness of space and joined the formation. Each of them were primarily dark gray, had a large and obvious circular weapon system at their polar regions, and were some 300 kilometers in diameter.
Standing at the center of the Battle of Yamatai's spacious bridge, Taisho Ketsurui Yui watched the screens as ship counts rose and international allies began to arrive.
"Set readiness condition two throughout the fleets. All hands to battle stations," Yui ordered. "Please ask all allies to report in," she told her communications officers, who went to work.
"All Star Army Fleets and international forces please report readiness status," the Battle of Yamatai transmitted.

Among the massive combined fleet, there was an old Kyoto-class starship, built in the early 20s, discarded, and then restored for the Kuvexian War in YE 39 from the very scrapyard for which this system was named. It had been pulled from the Nataria Fleet Depot, having been one of the less than 10% of ships that had survived the Third Battle of Nataria. Basically, this old ship had been through a lot, and now it as in the hands of the future crew of the YSS Resurgence, which the Star Army had grabbed and placed on the old ship because the Resurgence was still under construction. Fancy new Fuji-class gunships were in demand following the success of the YSS Kaiyo II but there simply wasn't enough to go around so there was a backlog of orders for them. Gabriela Lively, a starship operator used to moving uncrewed ships around for the Star Army, had successfully brought the ship solo to Ketsurui Star Fortress, where Ikigai and her crew boarded.
Shosa Ikigai Majime assembled the brand-new crew in the massive power armor bay, standing in front of them on the platform level of a Type 42 Step Ladder. "Ahem! This is not the way I envisioned getting to know my crew for my first command. Welcome the 'YSS...Presurgence,' she told them, with a chuckle making up the name on the spot. "We are about to face the Kuvexian Insterstellar Navy's elite banking guard units at 2-to-1 odds against us in an old rust bucket, with a brand-new crew, on a possible suicide mission that could leave us stranded months away from home. It's probably going to either go unexpectedly smoothly and the giant dreadnaughts are going to do all the work for us, or it is going to get really hairy and we need to be prepared. This ship has a huge number of LAMIA M1 power armors, fighters, and other weapons aboard so we're not helpless. Start waking up and cloning the mini-nekos. We have weapons, we have shields, and we have each other. So let's be ready. What are your questions?"
