The shipyard orbited high above Exathra, home planet for the ICC. The sun had just disappeared over the horrizon, showing no light into the hull of the newest ICC ship, the Raven Combat Ship Iroquois. It sat there in its dry dock, silent, quiet. All that remained were the final construction vehicals leaving back into the Shipyard itself as all the ship lights came to life, lighting up the sky.
The ship sat there with just engineering teams. All that was heard were the sounds of the workers putting the main systems to life. Soon, the airlock doors to the Shipyard opened, and the sounds of heavy boots marched into the Iroquois main hanger. The Raven Marines walked around, carrying the rifles as their armour made loud thumps across the metal deck.
Soon enough, a figure stood there, looking around with his hands behind his back. He wore the standard fleet uniform. He stood straight and tall, proud of the new ship to come under his command. The Fleet Admiral looking around, his brow raising a bit as he looked at the advances made inside the ship itself.
He looked back at his bridge teams, moving his head some as they all ran inside. He moved himself to the bridge, looking at his teams, "Bring this ship up to speed...."he took his seat as the main monitors came online. The lights of the bridge came to life as all the weapons, engine, shield, and hull monitors came online. He looked at the Armour value, smiling some as he looked everything over.
The airlock doors closed. The braces that held the ship to the Shipyard released, the modificated Assault Dreadnought sat there in space, not moving an inch, only sitting with its internal lights on. Fleet Admiral Duo looked at his teams, smirking some, "Communications, tell Raven Command the Iroquois is launching...Tell them Second in Command sends his reguards and his thanks..."
Duo then turned to his Navigation Teams, "I want engines up to 25%, heading thirty-seven degrees portside..."he smiled as the ship came to life, seeing the particals beginning to move. Outside, the Anti-Matter Engines lit a brilliant blue as the ship slowly began moving out of the docks at 5 gu. It turned on its portside, then moved straight, comming to a full stop. It sat there, appearing dead in space for a few moments, then in a blink, it jumped out, leaving the flash of the Anti-Matter Jumpdrive in its wake.
