ANS YellowStone~ 

Sitting just on the edge of the Sol system the Large ship in the fleet and almost the largest in the Alliance was waiting for their deep space scanner to reboot after it failed mid jump. 
"Captain, Scanner should be online in 30 seconds the scanner is aligned and the picture should be clear as day" a synthetic voice crackled over the comms. 
Derrick was pacing up and down waiting for the scanner to come back online, for a ship the size of the yellowstone to fall out of warp was never a good thing ~ due to the fact that the sudden shift in velocity could cause serious damage to external systems such as docked ships and turrets, luckily this time there was no docked ships other than the smaller ships sitting in the yellowstones hanger. 

After a few more seconds the Scanner flickered to life and the captain could see all of the sol system and beyond. at first there was no readings as to be expected but one by one Blue and red markers started pinging all around Earth. the signatures suggested that the Thresh had indeed invaded the system~ This also explained why comms where down with earth and the moon ~ 

"Battle stations" the captain yelled "this is not a Drill, this is the Black march people ~ now get your arses into gear. I want a micro jump to mars baring 240 at elevation 2998, from there i want you to loop left using mars gravity to sing us behind earth" 
With that the yellow stones jump drive rumbled into action the synthetic voice counted down to the jump which would only take 3 minutes" 
The crew hustled into place - navigators took their seats radar operators and comes powered up their stations and the Captain stood at his overwatch of the bridge. 
"Fighter and bomber pilots get to your ships~ get ready for Protection parten delta 5, volley attacks as soon as we come into position" 

The Yellowstone jolted out of the micro jump following the ordered movements around mars swing the long hull around Mars looping around to the left side of Earth
"Comms officer open the alliance short range network" with a few clicks the comms was open " Calling all alliance Ship around earth and in the Sol system The yellowstone is ready to receive any ships in need of repairs and rearming i repeat Yellowstone is on station for your convenience. 

The fighters and Bombers launched as soon as the order was given With the fighters patrolling the length of the ship taking out any small targets that with the 12 Rail guns taking out the larger targets.
