Director XA834 17GFT,

It is with regret that I must report several serious setbacks to the Division’s expansion plans.

After being back in the Dewi system for several days, the command crew of TCS Astrid received a polite request/summons to meet with Lodiri Ba Tiras, the Concord System Administrator.

Lorient, Dewi – The much dreaded and anticipated arrival of the relic Warhulk occurred today.

Kliot, Tarsis – The Star of Tarsis is lost.

It had been roughly 6 hours since the away team had boarded the Warhulk, when Zhin Kim announced to everyone, “the Warhulk has just gone into starfall.”

Recent events in the war that started with the annihilation of the Concord fleet at Hammer’s Star have been mixed.

Delille, Talbot – A large fleet accompanying the city ship designated by the Concord as Mirage One arrived in Talbot this morning.

Delille, Talbot – The Thorn Industries ship Astrid arrived at Talbot amid a bright silver wash of starrise cascading down her length.

In drivespace after leaving the fight at Mirage One – Arton, Xihan, and Skeeter were working to “install” the Va’krl on the bridge, Xihan and Arton were mumbling in a language Skeeter could only assume was Fraal, a language Skeeter didn’t know Arton was able to speak.

We starfalled less than 2 AU’s away from the Mirage One. I immediately ordered the fleet to disperse from the Trader Dawn and to take up previously arranged battle groups.
