3767 A Small Trial

When the news about the strange space rock spread throughout the fleet, a lot of Larkinsons started to entertain doubts about this expedition.

The Garimel System might not be as silent and empty as everyone thought.

General Verle and the legion commanders held numerous meetings before they directed the troops to become a lot more alert.

The mech legions deployed more mechs than before, causing the fleet to be surrounded by a larger swarm of metal. They also kept more mech pilots on standby in case they stumbled into another crisis.

Aside from that, the mech legions also spread out a number of their combat carriers outwards in order to scout the way ahead.

These scout units moved so far away from the main fleet that the main forces were unable to provide immediate support to the ships and mechs that went ahead.
