The Third Defensive Fleet sat in orbit high above Taloren Prime. The Swarmfather’s massive flagship was surrounded on all sides by numerous cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. Swarms of fighters flew around and patrolled the fleet’s perimeter.
Closeby was the Admiral’s asteroid base, Tartarus. It too had its own patrol, but was otherwise sealed up and shut down.
A frigate surfaced up from the planet’s atmosphere, neared the fleet, and hailed it through comms.
It was met with a number of fighters, who after ensuring the frigate had the proper clearances, escorted it towards the flagship.
As it neared, a frigate bay on top of the flagship slid open and multiple guide holograms helped the frigate settle itself onto it.
