250 VIP Guests

Before dawn the next day the hab blocks had been finished and First Battalion had been comfortable moved into their new home. The paint had dried in the admittedly creepy back rooms, and the Kitchen had been set up, with abundant space for cold storage. That amount of frozen food was a true luxury to any Battalion aboard a Navy Vessel, normally almost all of their food was dried or shelf stable. The abundance of room for frozen food meant that they could acquire a lot of fresh food the next time they made planetfall.

That would be their first order of business once their final guests arrived aboard the ship. The final storage hold had been dedicated to high-value ores, both for repairs and upgrades, as well as for trade, which would provide their cover story.
