The Larkinson Clan had already made a number of preparations to 'welcome' the arrival of the Heavensword.
The most important priority was not to let any incident related to the Heavensword disrupt the defensive arrangements of the Viola Magnifica System.
The strategically vital port system was one of the few remaining strongholds left in the Torald Middle Zone that propped up the 4th defensive band.
This was why the expeditionary fleet had already taken the initiative to move away from all of the main defensive positions and parked its starships in the orbit of a small and lifeless planet.
Ketis did not stay aboard the Spirit of Bentheim or any of the valuable capital ships of the Larkinson Clan.
She instead chose to transfer to a disposable combat carrier that had been emptied of much of her crew and dependents before moving out into deep space.
