All of a sudden, a fleet of roughly 176 vessels appears. They are all roughly cut from metal, as if assembled from the scraps of a much, much larger ship, and are all painted with a lightning bolt within a sun, that sun being the pupil of a larger eye.
They had been dragged from all around space outside of Aschen territory, and all arrived in intervals of around a minute. The largest ones, three well-sized ships of about 400 crew, were titled the
Vorud’d Frohill, the
Vorud’d Cotruniv, and
Vorud’d Harra, those meaning the duty to family, country, and Godwind, respectfully.
The 12 other ships of decent size, also mostly carriers consisting of roughly 120 crew each, titled, in plain common, “Trustworthiness,” “Loyalty,” “Helpfulness,” “Friendliness,” “Courteousness,” “Kindness,” (Of which was emblazoned with a giant Red Cross, plainly a medical ship) “Obedience,” “Cheerfulness,” “Thriftiness,” (Of which was covered with giant cutters and carried general repair and scrapping technology) “Bravery,” and finally, the “Reverence,” the largest of all of them.
There were a greater assortment of smaller attack vessels of 60 to 80 crew, all of which were titled with other virtues, although there were a few individual vessels, painted in deep reds and tans, titled with more essentially vulgar names, in a variety of both dialectic Klendathan and Oberon, as well as common, as well as one with the name “Solidarity” crosses out and replaced with “Imperial Pigfuckers” underneath it, although in a near unreadable dialect.

“Val’Din Ch’K’Harra.
May the Godwind guide our souls. We have come to pay in blood for the prisoners taken from our outreach program. We have no quarrel but with those of the Imperialist Dogs who have taken the men and women who served on the ships sent to rescue those unfairly stolen, despite their peaceful intentions. We have suffered and feared for far too long, and now we shall take action, guided by
Harra. Prepare for thy essence to be drowned and scattered by the winds. That is all.”
