Admiral
Jenetta Carver, in Region One for just the second time since
becoming Commander of the Second Fleet, receives a message that
the scout-destroyer Yenisei, on routine patrol, is overdue. The
ship's last report ended with a statement that they were
attempting to overtake several small ships spotted on their
DeTect monitors.
Admiral
Augustus Poole, in command while Jenetta is away, has officially
listed the ship as missing, and ordered all available ships
within two hundred light-years to proceed to the Yenisei's last
reported position and begin a search.
Weeks
later, the Yenisei is found. Technological advances have made
Space Command the most powerful military force in the known
galaxy, but although sheathed with Dakinium and believed to be
almost impervious to weapons fire, the Yenisei's hull is riddled
with holes and the crew is dead. The ship's computer log
contains images of three attacking vessels with a configuration
never before seen in GA space. It appears that a new enemy has
emerged, one with weapons superior to anything Space Command
has.
