(In and out of the shadows Open FT, ATTN The Cluster)
“Democracy ... the only form of government worth the time and the fight....“ a middle aged man with salt and pepper hair said as he sat back in a leather like chair, the room was almost pitch black, the only light in the room was that of a white and chrome bulb shining down upon him, his rather built yet slim form empathized by the light, his face could be barely made out. He sat there peering out in to the blackness of space through a port in the black room, his hands crossed on his lap, he gently sighed leaning back his head his hands moving to the sides as he stood up walking in to the darkness, a door opened, a burst of dim light could be seen lighting the room, his black uniformed form exiting the room.
Richard Calhan... Vice Admiral Richard Calhan.... the man in charge of the new crimson squad, ever since the horrors of the Galactic empire era , hes been in charge of this elite group of warriors, its been a few months since the coup in the colonial government , the federation has been established to take command of all former and current colonial territory since its conception in Federation year 0.
He wandered up to the bridge, walking in to a dimly lit but busy , he saw black uniformed officers walk around carrying paper thin mobile computers in the palm of they're hands. He nodded to his XO who said in a deep voice “good morning commander” Richard nodded back sighing as he made his way to his rather large leather like black chair in the center of this room. Holographic consoles silently beeped. He peered around looking towards the helms officer in front of him he started to speak in a confident deep voice.
“You know our orders Ensign , set a course for the cluster..” He grinned a bit leaning back as his gloved hand moved to his shaved face, suddenly the small five ship fleet shimmered out of existence, blending in with the pitch blackness of space, they're bodies weaved in to the threads of space and time, sensors, gravity sensors and most forms of advanced sensors useless to detect these cloaks. Suddenly several meters away the entire fabric of space and time was opened in an instant of crackling energy, the blackness of subspace opened before the cloaked ships as they entered, almost as soon as the rift began, inside the blackness of subspace distortions could be seen as the faster than light drives folded sub space, and bolted out to they're destination, the water helper cluster...
Richard sat there thinking back to the coup and what had happened to trigger it, the governments failure to protect its people against foreign and domestic enemies, so the people got tired of it, so did key members of the senate, during this time President miller had been away hidden in CAGCOM (Colonial alliance galactic combat command), during this time the vice president had already been detained and arrested the senate dissolved, and a new government order established.
The Federation is now on a mission orders are to send an elite group of ships and special forces in to the water helper cluster under cloak to gather intelligence, on forces in the area. Its time for the Federation to strike back, hard in the shadows and fast. Ships made they're way in to the cluster almost instantly as they're Coaxial drives powered down they rushed out in to normal space, still gently shimmering in to the darkness of the shadows. Richard sighed a bit as his officers began passive scans of the area, the ships spreading in a loose formation near some planetoids and asteroids quite far from most ships or sensors. Richards blue eyes peered out in to space, as the bridge lights went nearly pitch black, the tidal reactor shut down, as the ships floated nearly motionless in space. The XO of the ship looked to Richard , and Richard looked back saying
“ I know what your thinking, but I don't think we have to worry They wont know this ships configuration, nor would they know we are here, unless they know where to send ships to the accuracy of the meter.” His voice was deep and commanding as he smiled a bit waiting for lintel from the scans.
