[b]UHC Outpost A-4[/b]
A-4 rested on the outer reaches of UHC space. Very few ships past this point, with only small shuttles and freighters occasionally leaving the outpost. Standing before this tiny irrelevant was the Gorgon-Class Super Battlecruiser. Standing at 90km long the massive carrier was recently built and would act as the lead ship of the entire Confederate fleet. Bristling from the front appeared to be a spire-like weapon. In actuality it was a enlarged version of the Confederate's D12 Dark energy Rail-Gun. These types of rail-guns were not seen on regular ships, but rather capital ships. The weapon accelerated a mass of dark energy at high speeds to impact a enemy's ship. Besides the rail-gun the Confederates had equipped it with a Yamato Cannon, as well as several DE Torpedoes. The ship was also bristling with the Confederate's improved APSes and several auto-cannons to combat fighters and bombers. The ship also had some bays for smaller craft, like fighters and bombers but like other Confederate Battlecruisers it did not have that many.

Behind it was the much smaller Minotaur-Class Battlecruiser, standing at about 20km long. The ship acted as the head ship in any Confederate Fleet. It was equipped with a similiar, but down-scaled D12, as well a a Yamato Cannon, along with a few compliments of Confederate APSes and Auto-Cannons. The launch bays were much smaller then that of the Gorgon, and fewer. Backed by five 12km Behemoth-Class Battlecruiser. They were the same as the Minotaur, but with less weapons and down-scaled. A few C2 Auxiliary Ships, with almost no weapons but launch bays to back the rest of the fleet with fighters and bombers. They did not seem to be apart of the compliment of ships floating around the near-empty station.

The Minotaur was lead by Admiral Raynor. He questioned why Daniel had come all the way out here just to oversee a scouting mission. Daniel was the Fleet Admiral, making him leader of the entire fleet, and giving him command of the CNV [I]Pride of the Confederacy[/i], the sole Gorgon the UHC had built. Never-less Raynor prepared for waht Daniel had to say.

"Are you ready Raynor?" spoke Daniel over the comms. As he usually was his voice sounded cold and unfeeling, as most Confederate officers and Admirals did over time.

"Yes, but why bring the [i]Pride of the Confederacy[/i] here? This is just a simple scouting mission, not something worth bring it out for." questioned Raynor.

"Simple Raynor. The planet you are going to is on the edge of a signal zone, what we believe to be the space of another nation."

"Still doesn't seem worth it Daniel." 

"That is just your opinion Raynor. Regardless I wished to see you off. Good luck Raynor."

Daniel then proceeded to cut off the comms, as Raynor's group prepared for a FTL jump. New FTL tech had been developed that allowed for travel across a upper level dimension then back out to arrive at the destination. It wasn't as good as plane-space, which the UHC was still searching for the remnants of that particular technology, but it was better then a standard warp drive.

[b]Edge of Triarian Space, Planet A-23(As designated by the UHC)[/b]
Raynor's fleet arrived at the world, and began deploying equipment and various shuttles to explore the space. It consisted of Raynor's Minotaur and the 5 Behemoths. They were sending a simple comms blip in the direction of Collective to see if they could catch there attention.
