A New Hope

Chapter 0: The final frontier

Captain Valeric of the Akkan-class Battlecruiser-TDN Akayko was currently over-seeing the organisation and deployment of his fleet for the colonization and possible subjugation of the Aldebaren sector.

His fleet and current assignment was to Colonize and explore this galaxy, far from their home and enemies. TEC high-command had ordered that an expeditionary force be led out into the vastness of space. This was a contingency plan in case the invading aliens-the Vasari, as well as numerous other threats, proved too great to overcome. Thus, to ensure the survival of the Human race, a small fleet was quickly organized and sent out.

It'd taken several years of near constant travel in phase-space(faster than light travel) to arrive in the current galaxy, known in ancient times as; Hoag's Object(Search google for image). This galaxy is in the shape of a rare ring, or halo, and it's slow star-formation makes it a somewhat stable galaxy for colonization.

That was nearly 2 decades ago and Valeric kept wondering how the battle was going, or had went, since his departure from the Milky Way galaxy. He also wondered if his rank as Admiral should've been promoted to Grand-Admiral for this mission or not, by now...

"Sir! Everyone reports ready!"-Sub Commander Steven's announced, turning away from his terminal and holo-deck to look to Valeric.

"Good, let's begin colonizing the second sector of this galaxy!"-Valeric responded in a commanding, yet hopeful, voice.

This sector was massive compared to the first, the initial sector they entered after arriving in this galaxy. For starters, it had dozens of worlds and moons around three habitable stars. Valeric had waited years for this. Years of over-seeing orbital shipyard construction and civilian transports 'to and off world'.

Their new home planet, Liriope, was already a developing metropolis and had a decent amount of orbital structures; military and civilian alike. Other than that, all they had were a few volcanic worlds and asteroids for resource purposes.

Their first target would be the 'Mineral-class', Calliope, world their forward scouts had reported the previous week.

"All hands! Prepare for Phase-jump!"-Valeric announced to the entire fleet as the familiar 'hum' of phase-jump engines began to 'spin-up'. Every ship in the fleet would phase-jump at the same time so it was a fanciful thought of the junior crew that they could hear other ships' 'spin-up'.

An almost indiscernible lurch-then-weightless feeling for a moment(around 1 or 2 seconds) and a change in the 'hum' of the phase-engines was the only thing to note as they entered faster-than-light travel. You could still find those, even after hundreds or thousands of years, who were fear-full of 'phase-jumping'. Phasing your self out of space-time seemed to be a kind of phobia, but as the regular form of travel between worlds, they learned to deal with it...one way or another.

There were soo many safeguards in-place that there hadn't been any deaths directly associated with a phase-jump in...centuries or millennia. The fear was more likely to be a phase-drive failing mid-jump and being stranded in the vacuum of space at sub-light speeds.

There were bound to be a few thinking this among the rough two-thousand civilians on-board his ship at the moment. All comfy-like in their domed-over areas of buildings. The crew had to tolerate very cramped quarters, often for years at a time, unlike the oft-complaining civilians.

The 'hum' died down to nothing-"Phase-jump complete!"-the on-board A.I. announced to the fleet of, yet again, another successful phase-jump.

Several hours later Valeric was notified from the Sova-class carrier, the only other capital-class ship in the group, had finished deploying the missile-turrets. Those would be needed to help protect and clear-out debris that could be a danger to the civilians that would mine and process the resources of this world.

"Copy that Secundus"-Valeric replied.

"All ships, coordinate to central A.I. and prepare to jump to Kressida!"-Valeric ordered the fleet.

Kressida was their main target this week. A Terran-class world, as all Earth-like worlds were classified, and would likely be the home-planet of this solar-system.

A/N: This is more of a teaser, i know, but i felt that a little intro into Sins' universe was needed...not that this is all that much really...

Anyways, the story will start getting updates when i finish chapter 4~5...
