Battle Group Tempest
Alexandra Morrow stood on her command bridge of
ANS Liberator, a new addition to the Galactic Alliance fleet. She and her new command ship had been assigned to patrol and defend the Asmeru system as part of a combined fleet. After the defeat at Kaeshana, the Galactic Alliance and Firemane Industries had grown closer. As such, some of their ships were integrating into the GADF fleets in various systems. Firemane had requested deployment to those places where it was most likely they would come into contact with First Order ships. That company had declared open war on the First Order after Kaeshana, and the Galactic Alliance was always happy to have strong allies. That alliance accounted for two of the ships in Lexi’s fleet,
FNS Sarix and
FNS Fireborne.
At the moment, Battle Group Tempest was assisting a scientific survey of the Maw, an anomaly in the Asmeru system. The science ships were all but undefended, as they gave up most armaments for advanced scanning systems and engines. Thus, Lexi had her ships doing maneuvers near the Maw. Not close enough to interfere with any scans, but close enough to screen the science ships from anyone jumping into the system long enough for them to jump clear.
That moment came too soon for Alexandra, as despite her youth in her rank she was not a bloodthirsty Admiral. She had received warning from the early detection systems that had been laced throughout the sector, and as the First Order Fleets were reverting back to normal space the science ships were jumping out. Alexandra had her ships arrayed in a vertical wall, each ship angled to be able to advance on the enemy as well as attack with weapons once they got within range.
"
Admiral Morrow, we are detecting hyper footprints along the avenues the early detection system alerted us to. Analysis is still coming back on force composition, but we have no allies coming in from those vectors." The sensor officer reported from his station. She nodded and stepped up toward the screen at the forward end of the armored command center buried within the ship.
"
Thank you. Send the signal through the Alliance fleets that are assembled and any in the area. We are at Case Zulu, invasion imminent." She said with a sigh, looking on as markers populated on the screen, showing where the enemy forces were. "
Launch ready alert fighters, and set condition one throughout the fleet, and activate the Alliance tactical net. Admiral Thuku is in the system, and we should have some other Alliance forces near enough as well. Open up a channel to the First Order fleets."
"
Ma'am, we don't have posit..."
"
I know, but it is going to be the First Order."
"
Channel Open." The communications officer reported. Lexi nodded, then arched an eyebrow towards the holoviewer and steeled her eyes.
"
This is Admiral Alexandra Morrow of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force. You have entered Alliance protected territory and the sovereign space of Asmeru. You are ordered to reverse course and remove your ships now." She spoke on the open channel, directed at the First Order fleets that had shown up. Thanks to the sensor platforms that previous Alliance personnel had planted throughout the sector, there wouldn't be any surprises. Already they were tracking other hostile entities entering, as well as a few Alliance signals in hyperspace. She pressed a stud on a nearby panel that muted her side, letting her hear any response, then turned to speak to the communications officer, blocking her mouth from being seen.
"
Have the To Vhin pilots ready to launch at a moments notice along with our K-Wing squadrons."
She received an affirmative from the communications officer, and green lights began to flicker on as her ships began to show readiness.
"
Send a message to Admiral Thuku, have her maintain the center position and we will provide the starboard flank." With a nod, the communication officer sent the message to Admiral Thuku, with Admiral Morrow's compliments added.
