It had been several centuries since Silverymoon had sent out a reconasiance mission, as the last had been a total failure, with the destruction of the fleet by two rival empires. However, since then, both of those empires had collapsed and Silverymoon happily added their planets into their own empire, and settled into a state of peace and prospierity. The High Council was content to trade among it's own collection of planets, which now counted twenty-four, and decommisioned over half of its' standing fleet and space marines. It was not until Councilwoman Isabella Norwith had her nephew's merchant fleet be attacked three weeks ago as they were making their way to the fringes of the Silverymoon empire, at planet Rosell, that an interest in exploring the rest of the universe was rekindled, mostly as a way of finding out the identity behind the aggressors. With half of his ships damanged or destroyed, Rikan Norwith had pleaded to be among the fleet that was being sent out into the far reaches of the universe. He had first hand knowledge of the type of craft that had engaged them and was looking for a measure of revenge once they had been found.
The High Council instead choose Captain Amilla Kayes to lead the small expedtionary fleet that they had collected. In fact, it was more of a battlegroup than anything, with the prescence of: a Cruiser, 2 Curfion IIs, 30 Valkryie Missle Frigates, and 50 Wraith fighters. The S.B.C. Nightwatch would lead the group in it's mission, as Kayes and the forces at her command would search the galaxy. Her only concern was that the weapons on the cruiser were not outdated, as it had been nearly twenty years since any improvements had last been made on the weapons system. Yet as she ordered her subordinate to engage the hyperdrive, that worry was replaced with excitement, as she knew that she was the first elf in three hundred years to leave known space. What was waiting for the fleet outside their domain could change thier lives forever...
