The Fedral Union

Prelude:
Dark nova satellite facility, Milkyway:
Through the clouds of yellowish radioactive stellar dust, and violent vortexes of gravitational anomalies, through fields of massive stones, was a massive sphere of metal that had been dulled over countless of eons, its form decayed and charred due to radiation. For many years this facility had been in charge of several projects, but more recently it had been put at the fore front of a new project, a project that would change the face of the union more drastically than any other event could do.
Hyperion ship labs west wing:
Scientist idly wandered around the massive mundane lit chrome plated facility, going about several duties it seemed like a normal day, little did most of them know this was the unveiling of a prototype ship that would not only change military but also civilian history.
Station four A usually used in development of models and simulation testing was rigged with a special task today, its high powered computer processing power was needed transfer files of an AI to the new prototype ship.
The chief scientist was gathered around the console with several associates, in his hand was a data access pad and a metal cup of coffee half drunk, and still warm. He was speaking in a somewhat low tone of voice, a little cautious as not to let anyone else but his groups hear.
“Look we need to get this ship in operation as soon as possible, the defense people will be coming over any day now”
One of his associates was idly chewing on a piece of gum, smacking noises from his lips obviously annoying everyone else around him, the chief and others glared at him with eyes like demons. The associate stopped picking up on the not so subtle social q’s being presented.
The chief continued on, he placed his cup besides the console and picked up a pen like thing fiddling with it in his hand as he spoke.
“Right so first things first are we get the reactor mounted fully on the ship all right?”
The other associates nodded, quietly accepting orders, as the chief turned away picking up his glass again he said in one final remark.
“Get to it guys we have a lot of work to do”
On the ship:
Several engineers were already on the job, they were spread to the limit in fact working on this project, and never in the history of the facility were engineers required nearly around the clock. The noise of throbbing and pulsating machine and energy reverberated through the interiors of the large core room; force walks connecting most of the physical room with the main core chamber in the center.
Multiple engineers in white hazard uniforms with helmets on idly picked up tool after tool and part after part, placing in certain areas within the core assembly. The chief engineer of the project walked just above his workers, he had a cup of freshly brewed coffee in his hand. He looked over the masses of people working and droning along in almost irritatingly repetitive motions.
Just to the side of him several people began working on a manifold, using fusion torches to meld pieces together, the crackling adding to the already noisy environment of personnel working in the area.
On the other side of the large ship engineers and droids worked on the more physical components of the ship, adding in features like deck plating lighting and other stuff of the sort, as well as holographic consoles and ports.
The bridge.. the ships nerve center this particular class of ship had twelve meters of armor wrapped around the bridge itself, with reinforced hard shielding and force fields, with triple redundant and supported bulkheads, yet nearly none of that could be seen, as the inside was made up of soft white wall panels with a blue stripe going all around it, and light blue fixtures dotting the surface.
The panels of the ship were all evolved, they were hybrid flat and holographic immersing panels that when one linked to it would be surrounded virtually by options, multiple consoles lined the bridge several in back several in front and multiple on each side.
The Black phoenix as it’s called, was designed an advanced battle cruiser, there was nothing conventional about it, the entire design has little or no standard federation features on it, the ship is 2 km long 900 meters wide, and 60 meters tall.
Mean while back on the station things were hectic, scientist were running around gathering data and pads all of the stations resources were going in to this pet project it seem that the chief had, almost no one knew what it was. Many rumors spread about a new ship being designed. The mess hall was busy as usual though with all the constraints in time it was a miracle any one got to eat.
Several associates were talking, and eating.
“I don’t know honestly I think its bull..” said tom whose, mouth was partially stuffed with chicken, fork in one hand and spoon in another.
Tammy his scandalous and adventurous coworker responded.
“Look tom I know as well as Bill here that there is some truth to this ship thing, but whatever it is we are sure getting run through flaming hoops for it, must be important” she said with a typical assuming voice.
Bill responded almost aggressively, idly thumbing a metal spoon in his hand. “Tammy I don’t know anything about anything and frankly I don’t want to know”
Tammy rolled her eyes responding as she stuffed a piece of odd space lobster as it was called in to her mouth. “Whatever, you aren’t the least bit curious Bill?”
Bill just sighed and responded eating his mac and cheese stuffing a bunch of noodles in to his mouth.
“Well yeah I don’t want to keep getting on the chiefs bad side all right”
The conversation continued on at many tables just like this.
The launch :
“Hello! Hello!” said a soft female voice coming from a holographic form that was being rendered. When the form was complete it was standing in the middle of the large bridge which was already staffed, thanks to the prototype launch going on today. The chief and several of his associates already standing around it, the AI’s form was smooth, natural and pure, its skin was angelically white, its hair blonde, and smooth going down to its legs, the eyes piercing blue looking around the room, the entire form was almost human, it was almost life, even the lips had a suppleness to them, they parted as she smiled.
Her form was absolute perfection; the men gawked at the AI never having seen anything like it. She looked around crossing her hands over her exposed parts, and said with a hint of anger. “Shame on you, you perverts!” with that she shimmered out of existence then back in this time dawning a dress, an odd choice it wasn’t a standard dress more like a cloak.
Every one blinked slightly they thought they were hearing things, the AI has a personality? everyone but the chief and his staff were surprised.
The chief looked around focused his vision on the new captain of this prototype, his name was Jeffery jinkens Sinclair the third. He was a middle aged man who had experience commanding destroyers and larger cruisers before but never anything like this.
He said “commander, listen to me this ship cannon be captured at any cost if …” he was cut off by Jeffery when he raised his black gloved hand, he replied. “Don’t worry I know my briefing it’s all good sir.”
His voice was deep and commanding, almost demanding authority.
Launch:
Jeffery stood up his neural connection one hundred percent active; he looked to the Ai who was walking around the entire bridge trying to interact with things.
The AI got a message and said “Ewww I wouldn’t want to do that!“
Jeffery grumbled as the crew looked at him he said rectifying the odd social situation immediately.
“Just engage the thrusters!” the AI responded with a chuckle looking at Jeffry “fine Mr Commander”
Suddenly the ship jerked almost violently, its massive body detaching from the ship yard starting to move out towards the light of space, the epic darkness consuming the back of it as the front peaked out shimmering in to existence. As the ships ominously large form moved out in to the disturbed space the doors of the sphere behind it closed.
Jeffery was pleased, now that the ship was out his first thing was to get it to test several features including a local FTL drive. He looked to the Ai saying as well as conveying via mind up link.
“Engage local faster than light drive”
The AI didn’t pout in fact she rushed in front of the commander with a smile saying “right O”
Suddenly the large ship jerked suddenly the space behind the craft began to expand pushing the craft forward while the space in front began to contract, these effects were seen as disrupted space, energy, the craft began accreting experiencing No G forces or time dilation as they passed the speed of light heading at fast speeds towards unknowingly another system than the one picked out.
After several moments the craft dropped out of freeman drive space returning to normal around it as its large ominous body floated over the smaller rocks In the systems ort cloud.
Jeffery looked to the AI and said in a grumble “Were did you take us this wasn’t the system we set up”
The AI laughed and said “woops sorry Mr Commander, you should check your sensors they fed me the information”
Jeffery looked over to his con officer already somewhat irritated at the AI, the con officer said looking to the commander.
“I’m checking the logs now “…
For now they would wait the drive needed to be charged up again any way, the dark fusion reactor was only running at 50% capcacity.
