Shortly after Ves and Gloriana created a rather disappointing first production copy of the Bright Warrior Mark I Version B, the expeditionary fleet finally reached its first true stop!
Hundreds of combat carriers, support ships and capital ships emerged out of FTL in rapid succession.
Their appearance alone represented a considerable show of force!
Even if the overall condition of the fleet was far beyond its peak, the Golden Skull Alliance was still one of the strongest fleets to visit this major port system.
If that wasn't enough, then the emergence of the Infinity Guard fleet a short distance away only furthered the forceful impression.
The vast majority of visitors and local powers couldn't fight against their combined might!
While their obvious strength ensured that no one in the star system would pick a fight with them anytime soon, they also attracted immediate attention from the authorities!
