[quote=@KaiserAuto] [h1]The Prime Quad-Sector Holi Forix, Central Andromeda[/h1] One of the ships' frontal beam relocated, shifting back through the center, and ending up at the very rear, whatever reason it had, these ships of war, armed with weapons of unknown caliber, seemed to defy the laws of this galaxy, as well as the next. All this was made known, great Mageos', Astropaths, guiding and looking through the cosmos through the sub-dimensional arcanum. The great Mageos, powerful spellbenders, arcanum weavers, what say you. One such individual was aboard one of these five patrol vessels, Krubak Mahn, newly appointed Astro-Mageos of the vessel [i]Pillar of Vashjik[/i]. The Pillar of Vashjik, a warrior of the Pijkar class, and also veteran of nearly ten thousand years. The vessel was the final ship produced from Kharnac's personal drydock on Shakkur, the capital planet of the Humbarr-sector. It's weapons had reached stagnation, unfired for nearly a thousand years, and the crew aboard it, were almost all veterans of at least the same lenght. Standing as the prime capital class warship of the sector, it held almost constant activity on patrol missions, but it also held a renewable ground force of roughly 30 000 Subjects of Kadrak Umbrah. Warriors of the surface. Much like this particular patrol, there were another journeying the boarders of the Kuyann-sector, but also hundred more, all seeing to it that the Theocracy stands guarded. This patrol scheme has been supposedly perfectly planned out, each miniscule detail, explained through a hundred words and a hundred thoughts, as to how they should be performed. Every inch changed between ship modules is perfectly elaborated into the grand scheme, and every milimeter of the planets changed location is deeply calculated and incorporated.[/quote] [b]IR1214 (2 years prior to current events) 234th Imperial Morte Patrol Fleet Uncharted Space[/b] "[i]Damage report![/i]" Roared Fregattenkapitän Konrad Steinmetz. His fleet was supposed to test a warp-assisted hyperspace jump method. The method worked in theory and several unmanned attempts were successful yet something went terribly with the live test. That's all Steinmetz could tell, they need to find out the rest. For now it's certain they're alive. "[i]Hyperspace carrier Hyperion-02 is missing, reports indicate it exploded mid-travel. Our warp systems have several inexplicable malfunctions and unable to go beyond warp 1.205. All other systems are functioning normally.[/i]" The answer came and it didn't make Steinmetz much happier. They're stuck somewhere out of nowhere and with no chance to travel home. "[i]Navigations chief, did you find our position?[/i]" Knowing is half the battle, or in this case half the journey. "[i]Yes, but I'm afraid you won't like it, Sir. I managed to find the Toderstern System but...[/i]" Navigations chief Hans Günsche took a pause which infuriated Steinmetz further. "[i]But? Continue on, Leutnant![/i]" "[i]It's approximately 3000 lightyears away.[/i]" The news were indeed shocking. Technically their warp-assisted hyperdrive travel would only take them at best for a hundred lightyears. They neither have the food nor the antimatter supplies to make a 3000 lightyear journey, maximum warp or not. For all purposes they were stuck on a completely foreign world. "[i]There's no choice. Send out an emergency signal to homeworld! If we're lucky it reaches them within a year. Until then we must explore this uncharted territory for the Morte Empire![/i]"
