Previously on Star Zero:
After escaping from their ravaged homeworld, the Ark Class Colony Ship Star Zero experiances a warp drive malfunction and drops out of hyperspace to be greeted by a Setian-Sebecean warship. As several ships emerge to challenge the warship, the crew escapes the scrape only to be followed by the SIS Ghen. Artimus Agrippa, Captain of the Star Zero, enacts evasive manuvers to escape the ship. The Ghen attacks the colony ship and a dozen crew members are killed and hundreds are injured. The ship flees to XSS1 where it undergos repairs and scouts out a new home. The colony ship and it's five million passengers have left the station, and are on thier way to the new planet.

Captain Artimus Agrippa was standing as the Star One entered warp speed.

"Engineering, any problems? All systems normal?", asked a nervous Agrippa.

A blue holo with the head engineer appeared on the Captain's chair, "Rodger sir, everythings normal. We should be arriving at our destination in about 32 hours."

Agrippa nodded, "Good, keep me posted." Agrippa felt he could finally relax. Everything was going smooth and he didn't have a thing to worry about.

The door to the bridge opened and everything changed.

The man was tall and his hair and beard were white, but he had the look of power and respect. Paticularly when he was escorted by 3 Gaurdsmen on ethier side. His eyes were the kind that would pierce your heart and spoke with a loud and thunderous tone. He was Lord Steelcraft. He was until recently, the Lt. Governor of the Colony. However, with the tragid death of Lord Talleyhound, he was now in charge. And he was not happy.

"CAPTAIN ARTIMUS AGRIPPA! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!"

Agrippa turned around and his eyes shot wide, "For what?"

FOR RECKLESS ENDAGERMENT OF THE COLONY! GUARDSMEN, THROW HIM IN THE BRIG!

Agrippa was growing red hot, "Hey, I got us there didn't I?! I found a home for us just like I was ordered. You no rig-

"SILENCE!"Steelcraft turned to him with his peirceing eyes and said, You may have, and we'll settle there, but you'll be in the brig while we make our new home. Your court martial will be shortly afterwards.

The Gaurdsmen came behind him and cuffed his hands and he was led away from the bridge.
