The captains of the Luna fleet again on bored her in the briefing room sat at the table with the newly promoted captain Blue sight going through recent information that had been sent to the fleet. He stood next to the illuminated screen showing an image of three different sized ships 

Blue sight stood up as the rooms lights dimmed and began "So we have been sent this information from what other fleets and ourselves have gathered, the smallest ship that we have come across has been labelled the 'Skylance class' and is of a similar size to one of our destroyers. The 'Skylance class' is equipped with four of those strange plasma batteries and a single prow mounted plasma lance, the ship isn't a large threat however all ships are advised to avoid coming into targeting range of the prow plasma lance as it can be remarkable devastating. the second and third classes we know well they have been named the 'Salvatore class' which is similar in size to one of our cruisers named after of course the Salvatore that we destroyed, the third is being called the 'Sovereign class' after the large ship we encountered in our last engagement and its captain informed use of the ships name, this ship class is about the size of our heavy cruisers. It a pears that these two ship types make up the bulk of the enemies fleet power." The screen flicked to show two much larger ships and below them an image of a much smaller ship. "These two ship types have been seen by several fleets in larger fights and they a pear to be carrier types, the left one is similar size to the Luna and has next to no weapon emplacements however is able to carry and launch an outstanding amount of smaller ships and has been named the 'Cloud class' for the cloud of ships it releases while the other is a smaller variant with a large amount of plasma turrets and much fewer launch bays, making this more of an attack carrier and has been named the 'S'jet class'. both these carriers launch these gunboat sized ships which are armed with a single plasma turret but have a short closing distance and can almost match our fighters manoeuvrability. Now this last ship type all ships have been given orders to retreat from" The screen flicked to an image of a massively sized hulk "This... Is the 'Temple class spacehulk' its about twice the size of any of our dreadnoughts... We have only two sightings of this class and one was from the Wonder bolt attack fleet..."

Captain Grosessco interrupted "HA so they managed to take down one of those behemoths!" he sat chuckling with pride tapping his hoof on the table.

Blue sight responded slowly "No... the Wonder bolt fleet was completely destroyed..." Grosessco fell silent as his hoof slammed to the table "according to several black box recordings recovered from the fleets wrecks they encountered the spacehulk shortly after jumping into the system after a small fleet of Skylances from their previous engagement. As soon as they where in range the hulk opened fire before the fleet could get a target lock, it only took 5 minutes for the hole fleet to be wiped out."

Admiral Drogon spoke in shock "But the Wonder bolt attack fleet contained 2 dreadnoughts, 4 battleships, 4 battle cruisers, 10 heavy cruisers, 10 cruisers, 15 light cruisers, over 50 frigates and destroyers and a princes class carrier. It was one of our strongest fleets... please tell me the other fleet that encountered one of these faired better"

Blue sight sat down resting his bionic leg as the screen went ark and the rooms lighting came back on "Yes the other sighting was from the First fleet who took losses but managed to retreat before loosing any of their major fire power, however even the 85th gen cruisers that where in the fleet where unable to inflict any significant damage to the spacehulk with their gauss cannons. after the encounter of these hulks most large attack fleets have been sent back to the Equees system to form a blockade around the home world and allow the production of the rest of the 85th gen ships to be completed, the 'Twilight class battleship' is hoped to have enough power to at least cause these ships to withdraw but its uncertain."

The admiral spoke up again "If most of our main attack fleets have been withdrawn what our we and the other smaller fleets meant to do?"

"Well we have been told to remain at ready and continue along our patrol rout and take out as many ships as we can however we are not to engage any large enemy fleets and the hierarchy would like use to try and bored and capture a small ship for study and higher up crew members for questioning" Blue sight responded

"Well" Admiral Drogon stood up "I guess we better carry out our orders, We should head for Tootront orbital platform to see if we can acquire some bording craft and a platoon of marines. All right all captains too your ships and prep for the jump to Tootront" The admiral left the briefing room and the rest of the captains funnelled out. As he walked back onto the bridge and sat at his station he brought up the image of the Temple class spacehulk up on his chairs monitor and staired at its features with both fear and curiosity.
