~Outside a non-habitable system, several hundred kilometers from any navigate able jump, and blanketed by an artificial field that restricts ships to in-system travel... sits an expansive void. A convoy of supply ships exited the jump point at the outer system, turning, they headed into the void. Three of the newly commissioned frigate class accompanied them.~

~They moved deeper into the field. Their objective came into sight quickly. Through long range scanners, one could identify a low-powered signal coming from what seemed to be a large asteroid. But, since it was far away from the edge of the system it didn't seem right to consider it an asteroid. Plus it was generating the dispersal field. As they got closer to their rendezvous the picture became clearer. A space station came into being, a cruiser and three destroyers were in a patrol pattern around it, as many sparks outlined the hundreds of small building droids and supply ships.~

The recon dron spat through the Warp Point, took data, and went back through.

At the otehr end, the sperdreadnaught flagship Fury recieved the probe.

"This is what stups the scientists. Warp point in the middle of nowhere!" the Commodore said as he looked over the readings.

"Wait... What is that?" his flag Captain said, pointing to a segent of the screen. "Thought i saw something."
The Cmmooroe reound the footage, then replayed it slowly. It showed a breif flicker. "Can't tell what it is. Out of sensor range. Prep the fleet for jump. Full cloak, strick emisions control. Prep fighters to launch, but don't launch untill I say so. We transit in 30 minutes."

~An empty freighter was moved into position several dozen kilometers away from the relay station. The station began to power up as the weapon systems were to be tested. The field wavered ever so slightly as the energy requirements were balanced. The energy built up over a couple minutes, then was released as a coheasive beam. A science vessel and the station were taking their readings as the freighter was torn apart by the particle beam cannon.~
