Chapter Fifteen

Captain Avery and the supply chain had already started receiving damaged ships from the battles in the Zynth area of the Confederation. It sounded like it had gone well. Avery knew that the fleet would next hit Druin targets. He would likely see an influx of more ships needing repairs, once the battles began with the Druins.

As he relaxed in his command chair, alarms sounded on the sensor console. “Captain, we have ships exiting hyperspace!”

Everyone shifted their focus to the tactical display. As the icons turned green, all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Captain, I’ve received a message from Admiral Collison. They are making a pit stop on their way to their next target to repair a few ships and to restock their battlecarriers that lost attack interceptors,” said Lieutenant Dan.

“Okay, let’s make the arrangements and get started. I know Collison will be anxious to get to his next target,” said Avery.

Zynth Admiral Donlur had met up with his ships to replace the ones already destroyed by the Humans. Now they neared the star system of Aquilla Three. Donlur expected this system to be heavily defended. He knew they wouldn’t get the chance to get very detailed scans before the Human fleet stationed there had the opportunity to jump out to their location and attack.

Donlur was ready to get the actual attacks started. After the Humans had attacked the Zynth star systems, while he was away, he was ready for some revenge. Donlur did like the idea of causing the Human military leaders some confusion as to what their actual target would be.

Once they dropped from hyperspace, alarms sounded. “Keep an eye on the Human fleet. If they make their jump into hyperspace, we will too. I do not want to lose any more ships!” commanded Donlur.

“Scans show 479 battlecruisers and 76 dreadnoughts, Admiral.”

“Scan what we can. Keep a close watch on that fleet.”

General Ableson on Aquilla Three was in charge of the space forces in the system. As soon as the Zynth fleet dropped from hyperspace, he sent word to Golan Four and commanded his fleet to jump out to the enemy’s location and to chase them out of the area.

As soon as the fleet jumped, the Zynth ships left the system. Hopefully they scared them off for good. Ableson did not want them returning with the rest of the Confederation fleet. Based on the systems they had already scanned, his had the largest fleet to protect it. Plus a very strong defensive grid. It would be a mistake for the Confederation to come here, a very big one.

Druin Admiral Falorr neared the Vortex worlds. They had been named for the spiral shape of the cluster. Within the cluster were seven heavily populated planets. One of these—and the target they had selected to scan—was Jalot Four.

Falorr knew the planet would be very heavily protected by defensive grids as well as a large fleet presence. The chances of them completing their scans were minuscule. He was confident the fleet would jump out to engage him.
