Outside of the Starchild’s home system@darkwolf687A small group of Iscandarian vessels warped right outside of the Starchild’s system, having traced the strange signal to the system. It consisted of four military frigates as well as another two ships which appeared to be lightly armored and had few weapons. They were highly specialized vessels known as research vessels, and while they did come equipped with a decent amount of laboratory equipment, they also came with powerful sensor and scanners capable of picking many things.
The group split into two, with two frigates per a research vessel. They began scanning around the system, attempting to find the source of the mysterious signal that had been beamed at the Eternal Union.
Arnor, a outer EU systemThe EU vessel, which had been a freighter, quickly maneuvered itself away from the damaged vessel. Unlike other outer-systems Arnor was mineral rich, and thus one of the most important outer-systems due to it supplying 10% of the materials to the Iscandarian Forge Worlds. It would also later stand important as a trading outpost, as the Iscandarians wanted to use trade to help spread their influence across the galaxy, and it stood close to many borders that the EU had with other nations, particularly the Lorca.
A group of five frigates broke away from the battle group stationed at the colony and entered a V formation, approaching the damaged vessel. The lead frigate broadcasted a message in the tongue of the Lorca, the voice was robotic, but it was oddly sentient.
“Arnor is not equipped with the proper facilities to repair a Lorca vessel. We will contact your main body and provide temporary shelter until such time as another Lorca vessel can arrive.”
The frigates powered down their weapons, and awaited a response from the Lorca.
