With a flash of blue light twelve ships of convoy beta-002 decelerated from the alpha wall of hyperspace reappearing in Aurora Prima. It was a basic deep space convoy employed by the WIckian Commonwealth, eight heavy transports each massing eight million tons, the same size as a super dreadnaught. Its escort lance contained a battle cruiser, two light cruisers and a fleet destroyer. It was not a force that would attract much attention from any major power be it from the Raumreich or from the larger universe.
A low profile was the goal of this operation, the less attention the convoy would attract the better. For the convoy’s mission was of the utmost importance, they were going to terraform the system of Sanctuary to make it inhabitable, it would become the new home system of the WIckian Commonwealth.
Already the fleet was overrun in the Hades System and the Ortagan Hegemony again threatened to invade the home territories of the Commonwealth and most likely eradicate them from existence. It was clear that should the Navy lose the second fight against the Hegemony the Wickians would need a place to fall back to, far from the Hegemony, and the Empire, a new safe haven were this proud people could rebuild.
This was all understood by the commander of the convoy, and the grave responsibility of their mission is what haunted her dreams. Rear Admiral of the Red Veronica Covington commanded the force from her flagship the Witch of Endor a new Griffin class Battle Cruiser.
Her Convoy slowly pulled into orbit of the Cyberutopian Colony where it would take on final supplies for the colonists and most importantly what would make their new home livable.
She awaited the response of the colony, perhaps a meeting was in order, the transfer of the device and any technical teams would have to be done covertly as possible.
