All the while, somewhere in space, not too far away from the Sol Region, on a small, desolate planet...
A small fleet of ships was parked there. All the ships were of various designs and variations. Alongside these individual vessels, there was also a larger fleet of similarly designed, well-organized warships, clearly belonging to some established force.
They belonged to none other than the Azura Imperius.
Among this mix of organized and unorganized warships were five vessels, all of different designs but belonging to the same class.
In an open space in front of these five warships stood five people wearing ordinary-looking space armor. All of them were looking at their right hands, where holograms floated in the air, displaying a star chart with several locations marked on it, one of which shone much brighter than the others.
