The Bluejay Fleet finally arrived at its destination.
The trip did not take that long, but every day that passed was wearing on Ves' patience.
While he tried his best to remain productive during the journey, he remained concerned about his wife's latest antics.
He also worried whether he would leave this star system empty-handed. This was a serious possibility given that he agreed to conduct an experiment that was unprecedented in many ways.
When the warships of the Red Association entered the star system, it was clear that they were not the big boys in this location.
That honor went to the warships of the Red Fleet.
A massive warfleet had clearly settled into the star system for a few days. Dozens of mining vessels were eagerly harvesting more resources from the local planets and asteroid belts.
Dozens of patrols consisting of frigates and destroyers covered the outer systems.
