In a flash of light 20 ships exited from FTL. The Massive Paladin class defender flanked by two carriers and 4 destroyers accompanied by a number of smaller corvettes and transports as well. On the Bridge of the Stallion Commander Jensen looked over a tactical display. "There appears to be no enemy fleet Commander, your orders?" An officer asked.
"Launch Talon squadron I want them to do a flyby of the planet surface, we need to know what's going on here before we make any rash actions. This doesn't appear to be the doing of the Concord or Jupiter Corp, but we cannot be certain, General are your Marines ready for reconnaissance or frontal assault if need be?" Jensen asked a towering man standing beside him on the Bridge.
"I have two platoons ready for immediate action, however I will not authorize the deployment of any ground troops until we get a go ahead from Central Command." He said. "We have no need to brashly rush into a war against a possible invader we know absolutist nothing about. Remember Commander, the Marines are not your's to command nor is this Taskforce. I am taking over this operation. You are here to command the Naval forces, but I will be stepping in on behalf of the nation regarding our stance in this matter."
"Of course General." Jensen muttered.
"Landing troops or not our presence alone should be enough to route these invaders from the planet hopefully. I do not wish to see an armed conflict but we must send a clear message that hostile invasions of any sovereign nation will not be tolerated. We must make a show of force, but as I stated previously we will not land ground forces unless this situation dictates so. Now, can we get live feed from those fighters? And why haven't you initiated any scans of the planet?" He asked.
