[b]PNS [i]Sovereign of Shadow[/i][/b]

The SBCO Covert Observation Fleet maneuvered near the Rigel system and began using telescopes to detect any sort of station. Much to the delight of Fleetmaster Torak Belamar'tum, a military station large enough to garrison several thousand soldiers was detected orbiting the planet Seldis 0491. However, whether or not it belonged to the paramilitary and narcotics smuggling organization known as the Sylve Faction could not be determined to own it. As it was a midway point between many smaller nations, it could belong to one of them. Carried onto the [i]Sovereign of Shadow[/i] was a black Rakora-Class assault ship built for stealth. A course was plotted for it to move by the station, and deploy an outfit of six Deep-Space Insertion Commandos to plant listening devices on the exterior.

After Fleetmaster Belamar'dum issued the orders, the ships got to work. The Rakora-Class [i]Spirit of Ascension[/i] detached and made headway for the station. Two pods, each carrying three DeSPICs, fired from the underside of the ship. Halfway through they broke apart, and six jet-black space soldiers fired thrusters to a proper trajectory with the station. It was massive, with several sections linked together by tunnels, and it was beyond obvious that it was a military center; each deck of the station had a outer defense of several anti-ship guns as well as missile launchers. Dispensers for what appeared to be flash pods were also attached to each deck. However, the SCNOSE Special Forces soldiers were too small and hardly visible, so they went undetected. Each one carried a couple of magnetic domes, which would blend with the rough contours of the station. Once they got within deploying range, they activated maneuvering jets until they were close enough to affix themselves to different decks. The lead of the operation, Colonel Kardis'dum, pressed in a code on his wrist panel and activated the posts. Within minutes, a full broadcast was being beamed to [i]Spirit of Ascension[/i] and relayed to [i]Sovereign of Shadow[/i].
