Bab 424: The Benefactor's Reach, Pt 4

Unregistered Orbital Station, Unnamed Planet, Unlisted System, Great House de Jardin

The last of the Einherjar flashed into the incoming port beacon at the unregistered orbital station.

Though it had taken them a great deal of time, they had been able to escape whoever or whatever had attacked them. Of course, the fleet was far larger than the station could handle, but there was no other choice.

Their emergency practically demanded it.

And it certainly wouldn’t have been bad if it was just the Einherjar.

But they brought with them whatever remained of Hegemony Replenishment Facility 114, including lifeboats, defensive ships, cargo cruisers, passenger liners, everything.

And no matter which fleet they belonged to, almost every single ship in the fleet was heavily damaged and scarred. Plates of armor or chitin had massive gouges and channels across them - all served as a stark reminder of the silver beams’ destructive power.
