Vice Admiral Vidar pulled up the Video feed to the Frigate Terror, Ranger Juan appeared on screen. Ranger Juan was of hispanic descent and had shaved his head bald to mimic that of the minbari on his crew. "Juan old friend, I need you to intercept the Brakiri task force heading towards Comet Romeo Charle 3. They are not to Interfere with the mining operations that we are setting up to support our operations here."
"Not a problem sir, I and the Black sun Blue stars will give them something to think about if they wish to move forward with their plans." Juan nodded to Admiral Vidar. "Anything else sir?"
"No... Take care old friend" Vidar killed the link and as the screen blinked out, a young Japanese woman in ranger robes was across the room and bowed to the Admiral.
"You called for me Admiral?" She looked up at the admiral as she stood straight, an old Katana positioned on her left side under the robes could be made out.
"Yes. I need you to gather up your task force Yukio. I think our next move will get the enemy to commit, I need you to give them a bloody nose."
Yukio gave a wicked smile, her features marking her as extremely beautiful by human standards, but her smile gave her the appearance of a deadly predator. " You Honor me, Admiral..."
BRAKIRI
The Blanche, a Battle carrier, and the Petar moved through the vastness of space. The star of the Peladias System shone behind them, making them visible to the naked eye if one was close enough to their passing. On the bridge of the Blanche Captain Nue'ok stood at the view screen with his hands behind his back. He watched as the small task force moved towards some sensor ghosts at a near by nebula on their way towards the comet, which Nue'ok had not bothered to remember the name of. It was just another ball of dust and minerals, a resource for them to use. He had his fighters out escorting the ships, their were reports of Blue stars and white star fighters... so he made sure he had the Combat Space Patrol out in preparations. As he thought about the enemy ships, an alarm went off throughout the ship.
"What is that...." Nue'ok tried to speak out, but suddenly a Nor'lo Tar ISA frigate brust out from the Nebula firing its Mini-beams and anti fighter weapons. The Beams impacted his ship, Jarring him off his feet. The world slowed down as he fell backwards his shock turned into icy fear as 4 blue stars followed behind the Frigate firing their weapons as they hugged the battle carrier. The Ship exploded around him, crew members being sucked out into space as the bridge opened up like a tin can under the heavy fire.
ISA.
The Terror glided inbetween the two larger war ships, as the blue stars skin danced the battle carrier after the Terror had blown the fighter wings out of the void with its anti fighter weapons. The fire power of the 5 ships caused the battle carrier to burst into flames and list slowly to the port side. The other Cruiser was just being roused to action but by then, the Terror would be out of its firing arcs, of its most powerful weapons. "Blue Star 401 thru 404, make one more pass at the Battle carrier. The Terror will open a jump point and pull out. Once the Blanche is down, you are to regroup with the Terror at the designated coordinates."
"Message Recieved." replied Blue Star 401. "Squadron will return to hyperspace and met up with Terror at designated corrdinates."
The Terror opened up a tear in real space as the Petar moved to try to bring its weapons to bear on the frigate. The blue stars did one more pass, screaming by at high speeds, firing all their weapons into the crippled battle carrier, another explosion shuttered through the ship one moment before its sides split and flame and gas spilled out from it in a mighty explosion. As the gas cleared up, a damaged blue star followed behind the lead blue star to take its exit point it opened.
Ranger Juan smiled as the Terror slipped into its jump point vanishing in a sea of red.
