”A war tears nations apart a System engaged in war fueled not by courage, but hatred. They were united by trust, struck down by despair. Caught in the shadows of conspiracy, they must do the impossible. Armed only with their convictions, hope has it’s price, and truth stands alone…”

Alert Five Craft, while patrolling near the planet JhHad, detected a Class 3 Spatial Anomaly, approaching the far edge of the sector. Upon further investigation, it was deemed by the group leader, that the anomalies were suspected to be vessels running under cloak. The AFC’s continued to investigate while the 3rd Carrier Group of the 17th Fleet, plotted an intercept course.

Within 25 minutes, elements of the 17th Fleet completed their jump into the sector and attempted to open communications. Several attempts to “hail” the vessel have failed. Upon further scanning of the anomaly, several energy spikes were detected. It was deemed by Forward Command to be either a; power-up in weapons or, shield surges. The 17th Elements have secured a 30mile rad. Of the Class 3. After several more attempts of communication, the Battle Carrier, “Arch-Angle” has lunched ISSAPC-“Raiders”, towards the anomaly.

Moments before the ISSAPC’s reached their target, energy spikes were emitted, thusly destroying all five APC’s and their crew of 250 Marines. The Fleet responded by launching 1 full spread in the direction of the Class 3, (detonation was manual). Seconds after, it was evident by the instantious multitude of burning decks, that these were in fact space vessels, suspected to be of the Colony Class. The field extends some 22 miles in radius. The Fleet is prepping search and rescue.

Emperor Uganda,

Further scanning suggest that these were in fact “Unidentified” Colony Ships. Judging by the field, reports suggest that perhaps a loss, well into 20+ thousand. It is estimated, that there were at least 3 colony vessels with smaller support. However, we are continuing to search for survivors as well as any and all hull identifiers. I will keep you posted every 30 minutes with survivor numbers and or to the origin of these vessels.

OOC: The owner of these ships,(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) can save us a great deal of expence by claiming these vessels now. Then they can further explain what they were doing in my space!
