"The Huntlin Clan already has control of one mineral planet, to give them control of another would make them far too powerful! It's time to give control to a different clan, the Winland Clan!" yelled the representative of the Winland Clan.

"That is nonsense, a clan with experience managing the mining operation of an entire planet should be given control of the next mining colony." responded the representative of the Winthor Clan. He'd only just barely beaten the Huntlin Clan to the punch but as a Clan with control of the mining operations of a planet themselves they had plenty of reason to side with them. The bickering between the two sides continued like this for a while until Lantor Rinthor couldn't stand anymore.

"SILINCE!!!" he roared and his order was followed immediately. "Debating over who has control of mining colonies not yet discovered is simply asinine. We shall continue to decide such things on a case by case basis as such potential colonies are found." commanded Lantor but he heard plenty of grumbling amongst the clans below. He had done his best to evenly split the control of recourses between the clans as best he could but it seemed that the knowledge of there being more would keep the clans in conflict. Earlier Lantors had tried to have the recourses controlled by groups like the Pride Guard who held the interests of all Tigrock above individual clans. This didn't work however as once the Lantor died the clans began fighting for control of the recourses and the Pride Guard never had the numbers to keep them in check. Lantor Rinthor's thoughts were interrupted by the beeping of his assistants communicator.

"Sir, the Cymorth in Darian has been completed it has been named Grinth's Claw and is moving to carry out its mission." stated Vont.

"Who's the captain?" questioned Lantor.

Vont manipulated his holo-pad looking for the information. "He's Captain Vince Huntlin sir." Vont responded.

"Very well." finished Lantor as he looked back to the quickly increasing chatter below.

UTC Space-Darian System-Kraic Cruiser The Iron Axe:

Captain Vince Huntlin sat in the command chair on board the newly complete Grinth's Claw scouting vessel a slight grin on his face. Scouting into unknown territory was the most action a Tigrock could get in the navy. Even those lucky enough to engage rebels usually only faced a couple ill-equipped ships that never lasted long in a major engagement. The ship was quickly making its way out of Canolog's shipyard. "Navigator Linler set a course through the asteroid field to the Porth Mawr gate." he commanded.

"Yes, Captain." Linler responded as he set to work at his station. Soon enough the Grinth's Claw had made its way to the gate without incident.

"Bring the gate up on screen." ordered the captain and the massive alien instillation appeared before them. "Very good, all ahead full." he continued and the ship sped forward the gate growing larger and larger.
