Zambrano the Starweird
The Black Prophet of Balagoth
The Chiloon Rift...
The Directory held greedy eyes upon the visage of such a rich asteroid field. They hunger for conquest, but they could not raze non-repenting worlds with a singular ship that could not even land upon the surface of a planet, under the piloting control of a mad man. They needed a fleet... yet the desired an Armada. If all went well, they would have it.
First however, they had to clear out the rodents and tidy up the nebular matter.
Along side The Thorn, a Deluge-class Assault Frigate and a Mendacity-class Corvette accompanied the vong vessel. One could say that these two vessels and a number of mining ships, were borrowed from the Primeval Fleet, but at least in the meantime they were under the Directories control. The Head of the Directory and Co-head (the admiral and vice-admiral respectively), took one Frigate, as the Senior Vice Head and Junior Vice Head (the rear admiral and commodore respectively) took the other, while the de facto head Captain Slika remained onboard The Thorn, along side the Warlord that was "leading" this operation.
The Corvette containing the Admiral, was named The Forward, where a number of Primeval converts were located for briefing.
"Attention, candidates!" The Admiral spoke down to those assembled within the Hangar Bay from a catwalk. "As you may not know, my name is Admiral Thetsh, the Warlord's highest ranking officer, and I possess his direct and explicit authority to command you in this endeavor we are to undertake. Remember, this isn't the place for you to kark around. Disobedience here will get you killed... this asteroid field has been known to sport ghost ships... we'd rather not join those ranks because one of you buffoons decided it would be funny to be independent and do your own thing. That's not even to mention the much more real threat, of the pirate bands scattered all throughout the Rift, trying to steal from anybody who attempts to mine here. We want that threat curbed, immediately. If all goes well, the Primeval Fleet can begin construction." The Admiral then paused for a moment, probably to catch his breathe.
"Understood?" He raised an eyebrow at them, before promptly taking his stride in a different direction without waiting for a response. As he was disappearing within the ship, he called back to them.
"And remember: those of you who show exceptional service here will have the option to gain status within the Warlord's domain... you might even become an Underlord." With that, he was gone.
It was time for them all enter their four starfighters, to locate optimal mining locations deeper and closer to the heart of the Rift (and possibly stumbling on something interesting), and find pirate holdouts within the Asteroids and contact the Directory of their locations to be engaged and destroyed. If the occupants were incapable of flying spacecraft, the generic non-descript fighters were big enough to carry two, and only needed one pilot.
