Chapter 3
The small fleet dropped into sector twelve unannounced the next day.
The HQ traffic controller jumped in surprise when his control board lit up and started beeping at him. He quickly checked the IFF and saw that the ships belong to the home fleet. Using fleet frequency, he hailed the ships.
“This is Fleet Admiral Yager on board the EOH ship Falcon. I need docking clearances immediately!” The Admiral looked really pissed.
This was way, way beyond the traffic controllers pay grade, so he sent out the clearances. “Someone is about to have a bad day,” he thought to himself.
The fleet consisted of one of the new battleships, a cruiser, and five destroyers. It certainly looked formidable. As he watched, six armored troop transports left the ships and headed for the Fleet station.
