Villard strode on to the bridge of the Blizzard several days after the seizure of the former Confederate Union of Secton.
"Are we ready to go?" said he.
"All ships reporting in, sir. Waiting for your order." said Tuche as he stood by the tactical display at the center of the bridge, a commphone pressed against his ear.
"Good. Let's get underway." Villard strode over to the display and leaned against it.
"Transmitting coordinates to the other ships," one of the bridge officers said, slipping a card from one slot to another at his station and pressing a button.
"Spool up jump drives," ordered Villard.
"Aye, sir. All ships ready for jump."
"Do it."
The Blizzard and seven other ships had detached themselves slightly from the fleet to execute the jump. These instantly vanished from sight in bright flashes of light.

Fleet Captain Urus stood waiting on the bridge of his capital ship. The FPC ships weren't showing up on sensors, and he was getting somewhat impatent, not to mention worried.
He pulled out his pocket watch once more, they still had a few minutes.
"Those damn ships better be here..." He said in his mind another time. He knew he wasn't exactly cut-out for the task of military Fleet Captain, but he was all that the empire could spare in terms of generals. He preoccupied his mind my walking around the ship, inspecting the troops, and asking the engineers about the vehicles and equipment he saw, learning more about them and formulating there purposes on the field. He was taken out of his preoccupied state by a crewman;
Just as he feared the worst, he saw a respectably large FPC fleet appeared nearby, and on sensors. The Fleet Captain was taken somewhat off guard, but nonetheless took several steps back to take a seat in the Captain's chair;
"Ah, there they are." He hid his surprise at the instant arrival of the allied ships, wishing he read up more on there propulsion.
"Open a channel." He ordered. The comms came to life, Urus stood up once more;
"This is Fleet Captain Urus of the Drodo Empire." He took a pause;
"Shall we begin?"
