War... War has no mercy... No winners... Only losers.
Worse is it when you get caught up in something you have no say in.
Two gigants fighting right where you live, barley realizing that you are there.

//Backstory//

Well this is the fate of a small colony which just happend to have setteled next to some valueable resources.
When the first Imperial ships arrived the colonists already knew something was up.
It was only a few minutes later when 2 more ships were detected by the small sensor the colony had.
Out of those 2 ships many more emerged. In panic the commander of the small security team rushed outside
just to see his colonists getting slaughtered in the crossfire of two military gigants.
He tried to get as many of his people and try to flee. To his luck their small but humble fleet of outdated light carriers wasn't hit yet.
Realizing that it's impossible for him to save all of his colonists he sadly had to witness a lot of people meeting their
doom while he and some other colonists fly away to safety. The FTl drives finally spun up , destination: unknown.

//Current//

Rumors have spread around the September galaxy that something came out of hyperspace in sector R-5...

5 hours later
The carrier group sees the next best planet and lands there and finds a planet covered in ruins.
The group of 330 decide to settle near one of them to scavenge some resources.
Luckly some of the carriers had some old fashioned pickaxes original intended as deko.
Some other blueprints for mining ships were found too but aren't needed as no production can be established yet.

Fascinating

    Too bad you are too far from me

      VathVS You could probably still interact with scouting vessels

        Hannizio
        Currently not that far technology

          oh, no small FTL vessels?

          Exiting Hyperspace in 3.. 2.. 1!

          Out of Hyperspace in a random system within R-5 exits 1 Platinum-Class Escort Cruiser alongside 2 Seer-class Recon vessels and 1 Strongarm-Class Freighter. a Seer begins scanning the system quickly. Upon hearing the rumors, they have been going between systems that have had reports of strange activity, yet to have any luck, they do routine scans and searches, as the hyperdrives begin to charge again.

            Even tho the carriers have almost no fuel, the Sensors still detect something. Crew members run around franticly since this is the first contact they had in like 1 week.
            A disstress Signal is sent out.

              AstroDaFloof

              Aboard the Platinum-Class Cruiser 'IDS Gleaming Metal' The Captain speaks out.

              C:
              "Signals? Woah, that's new, bring us in and lets see what we can-:
              Comms officer pulls him aside and tells him of the distress beacon.
              C:
              "A What!? Distress beacon!? Engines on full burn!"

              The Fleet begins moving in towards the locale of the distress signal

                Brank
                The stranded Group trys to prep 2 Falcon T scouts with the little fuel they have left. They don't even have 25% of their tanks full.

                  AstroDaFloof

                  They Notice the fighters and send out a transmission.
                  //IDS Gleaming Metal//
                  "Unidentified Craft, please respond, are you of the ones who sent out the distress signal? I repeat, are you the ones who sent the distress signal?"

                    Brank
                    The Fighter with the still working Comms confirms that they sent out a distress signal.
                    After that he confirms contact to one of the carriers on the ground.
                    A few seconds of silence raise concern in the colony.
                    "Did we really just gave our position to some ships that might or might not be dangerous?"
                    Now they must wait for a response, the colony is at their mercy.

                      "Touch down in the hangar bay and we can discuss further"

                      With a whirr the ventral hangar of the cruiser opens up, and the ship turns to face this hangar towards the ships, showing its underbelly.

                        Brank
                        The scouts relay that command to the colony and ask if they should proceed.
                        "If you want us to survive, do it"
                        With a bit of fear and lack of much training the 2 Falcons slowly approach the hangar .
                        Touch down.

                          AstroDaFloof
                          They are met by a handful of IDN Marines, their M-1 Empyria Rifles slung on their back and the pistols in their holster. They Help the pilots out of the craft and ask their names and where they came from. Explaining that they will meet up with the captain of the vessel while the fleet heads towards the location of the beacon itself.

                          The two pilots tell them roughly what happend, but they don't know much them self.
                          To get the full picture they said you should speak to their Officer of Security.
                          They also describe a good place to land near their basecamp.

                            AstroDaFloof
                            The Ships begin setting a course towards the planet and the landing zone

                              Brank
                              Seeing the ships prepare to land nearby some of the surviving infantery ready their weapons, just in case.
                              The others try to prepare some sort of meal with the rations they have left to welcome the guests.
                              It's clear that the colony is split in opinions on this.

                              Hannizio
                              No, not currently

                                AstroDaFloof The Ships land and bays open up, as a single APC rolls out, approaching the colony and shortly parking, opening the door as the Captain of the ship, 2 marines, and the pilots from the Fighters the colony sent out
