[b]Sol, Asteroid Belt [Exact location unknown, redacted by SBCO authority][/b]

Space was rent asunder as Assault Fleet 021 exited warp, the fleet comprised mostly of Trikolo-Class Destroyers and Darbor-Class Heavy Frigates being spearheaded by the Marku-Class PNSS [i]With Zeal and Vigilance[/i], which coasted around a group of asteroids, deploying supply carriers that were attaching modules to the station. The observation post originally put on there would be a Sazkarjhit firebase for the whole system; and regardless of what the Terrans would have wanted to do it was necessary.

As the asteroid was large enough, two Manumar-Class Light Frigates, [i]Syeani[/i] and [i]Forefront[/i] entered orbit above the body. While they weren't the most combat-effective vessels, for standard defense they would be suitable. 

The area around the fleet was cleared as destroyers used MAC cannons and Mark II FireLance plasma emitters to obliterate asteroids--some even as large as 2 kilometers from end to end--and send them into the direction of the rest of the field. 

Soon, the more advanced listening equipment was installed, and Station Karaniasa was established as Sazkarjhia's farthest-operating military installment to monitor activity in and around Sol.
