[b]Iscandarian Naval HQ, Alas Prime[/b] The various Admirals stepped into the room. The room was darkened as a large table sat in the middle of it. Ironbones already sat at the lead of the room. Interestingly enough Captain Magnus, or as his new badge designated him Admiral Magnus stepped into the room amongst the Admirals. Everyone took a seat as Ironbones cleared his throat and began speaking. "Gentleman, we stand here today over a number of issues concerning the defense of the Eternal Union. While the Ethereals have not launched any major attacks in a while with the failure to acquire the so called piece at the coordinates given to us by the Shard Guide. Luckily however we have managed to develop anti-matter missiles. The current stock is being distributed to all fleets equally, and they will be replacing our standard missiles, however until such time as we have built up a decent stock your ships will have to use standard missiles along with the anti-matter missiles being distributed. I do not feel as if that is enough to help defend from this threat, and with the increase in R&D budget we have began weaponizing plasma. It was proven to be a force to be reckoned with at the recent Battle of Sol. Also, welcome Admiral Magnus, he shall take control of the 7th fleet." spoke Ironbones, sitting there waiting for other comments and or concerns. "Bold move Ironbones, but shouldn't we focus on building up the rest of the fleets and repairing damage to current ones? My fleet is in ruins and the Dreadnought and a battlecruiser are currently sitting in dry dock." responded Tuvuru, putting his hands together as he look towards Ironbones. "I think Admiral Tuvuru expresses some legimate concerns, plus whats with the odd change of orders at the shipyard? You have asked them to work on the battlecruisers and dreadnoughts of the future 9th and 10th fleets first." added Magnus, also turning towards Ironbones. "I can understand the concern, but I had a few ideas, the 2nd, 9th, and 10th fleets will take on different roles then the rest of the navy. You will see it when we finally roll out the first plasma weapons." said Ironbones. "With that settled I do want to express some concerns. I was born on the colony of Char, it and another mining colony are close to the galactic core. This is quite a distance away from the main body of the Eternal Union, I do not think fleets are normally stationed there, so what are we going to do about their defense?" asked a unknown Admiral. "I have already made arrangements. Admiral Magnus will move with the 7th fleet there, as well as Admiral Emily in command of the 8th fleet once she returns with what she was helping Aaliyah with." responded Ironbones. "Why am I not surprised about Emily? One of the finest Captains in the Union, you made a good choice Ironbones." added Magnus. "I hope I did, if there is no other concerns then we can adjourn this meeting." finished Ironbones, as the Admirals said they had no concerns to be addressed and left.
