[b]Pirate Attack on Hach Fleet[/b]
 
Vessel Suar'kum and Commander Lano'dum strode through the massive corridors of the Karboria Capital District rotunda area, with its sophisticated and ornate architecture displaying etchings of previous Grand Vessels, as well as the gods. Fakeem spoke with Lano'dum, nonchalantly sipping tea from a vessel in his hands, when a civilian carrying a digital clipboard rushed up to them.

"S-Supreme...Supreme Commander..." the man wheezed. "...You need to...look at this..."

Barasmus patted the man on the back, taking the clipboard and reading through what it displayed.

[i]COSMIC ANOMALY DETECTED

3.10.2168
09:21:12 SAZKARJHIA LOCAL TIME

Enormous energy signatures detected. Gravity strength exceeding overall field of the UP18153 System. Anomaly determined to be a black hole. Determined to be the site of a confrontation between ZONANESE SPECIES, DOMI and UNIDENTIFIED ASSAULT GROUP, TECHNOLOGY OF SAZKARJHIT ORIGIN. Communications determine that fleet with TECHNOLOGY OF SAZKARJHIT ORIGIN, is in fact not belonging to any arms of SAZKARJHIA CENTER FOR NAVAL OPERATIONS AND SPACE EXPLORATION.[/i]

Barasmus stopped in his tracks, his jaw dropped. "Grand Vessel, I would love to talk more, but I must meet with my cabinet." he told Fakeem before running off.

He came into an office, with several star charts, some showing systems belonging to other species, while a few others showed the locations of the three Hub Fleets as well as the remaining Outersystem Scout Fleets returning to Sazkarjhia from their missions. In here, the Peoples' Army commander, Grand Commander Felasi'hum, and the SCNOSE commander, Grand Fleetmaster Magama'yum, were standing in the center, occasionally nodding off orders to officers below. Once they noticed Commander Lano'dum, they strode over.

"I thought you were on leave today, what's wrong?" Felasi'hum inquired. Barasmus nearly shoved the clipboard into her, where she took it and scanned through it. She turned to face the old, war-hardened commander, then gave it to Magama'yum, who had a similar expression. He turned and began hastily shouting, "Order Assault Fleet 004 to the epicenter of the action, make sure that any Sazkarjhian technology you find, you confiscate it back from them."

"[i]Back[/i] from them, Fleetmaster?" Lano'dum asked with disbelief.

"Sir, we would never attack the Domi after ten years, and I would never give the order for any kind of clandestine operation. This technology was obviously stolen and repurposed. And we haven't even come [i]close[/i] to developing a black hole generator. Only one who didn't have pride in their people and borrowed tech from other races to develop would do such a thing."

"You don't mean..." Felasi'hum whispered.

"Yes. The Domi are under attack by Pirates."

The order was given for Sazkarjhia Assault Fleet 004 to mobilize to the epicenter of the action, and to remove any kind of technology that the pirates had acquired. As well as to repair and otherwise assist the Domi under attack by them.
