Flying Monkey System (V’kit’no’sat-captured territory)

Finley

Tre’sti had watched the few reports coming in to the warzone over the past months, seeing that the situation was getting dire for the empire. They were under assault all around the Rim border with no sizeable defense fleets available to rush to those systems’ aid…until the order from Mak’to’ran arrived. On his authority, which technically he didn’t have, he was ordering all fleets in the Star Force warzone to stop offensive assaults, abandon all worlds they couldn’t defend against the Uriti, and hold those they could while the bulk of their forces were told to move with all speed to defend the empire’s border worlds.

Word also came through about the takeover in Itaru, and surprising as that was, Tre’sti truly didn’t care. What Mak’to’ran had to do to deal with the Oso’lon and the J’gar was his problem, but as long as he appeared to be in control and calling for a defense of the empire, Tre’sti wasn’t going to argue the point.

Before a counter-order could come through from Virokor or the other I’rar’et commanders, Tre’sti began pulling in all I’rar’et fleets and their Zen’zat troops that he could to Flying Monkey as he assembled a massive convoy in preparation to leave and head for the nearest I’rar’et system under attack. Unfortunately it wouldn’t be Veernum, for it was on the other side of the galaxy, but as long as Mak’to’ran wasn’t giving specific orders about where to go, Tre’sti was not going to bother defending the systems held by other races. He was going straight to the Bearadan System where the I’rar’et held two out of the six planets.

Bearadan was approximately 5 months away from their current position, though had the fleets not been all the way out in the middle of nowhere, reinforcements could have arrived within days, or weeks at the most. They were so out of position it was painfully obvious that the V’kit’no’sat had made a huge mistake in devoting so many military resources to this single invasion…and to his credit, Mak’to’ran had warned this would be a bad idea.

But the Era’tran fleets were clustered around the Core fighting the Hadarak, so they weren’t in position to immediately help, but they would be able to get to the systems across the galaxy far faster along with the other 37 races that had not taken part in the Star Force invasion. But even then, they were going to be late getting there and already some systems were reported to have completely fallen into enemy hands.

Bearadan would not fall so quickly with 6 worlds, so Tre’sti was somewhat sure there would be V’kit’no’sat in the system to reinforce when he got there. Would the I’rar’et worlds hold out, he couldn’t say, but the fact that they were getting hit by an enemy the V’kit’no’sat had no knowledge of was disturbing. They were using ships even larger than those of the V’kit’no’sat and some weapon systems that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
