[Event] The Steel-Clad Farm Part 1/4: Inoperable FTL Gate

Mojowuq9

These FTL gates were scattered everywhere. They were a part of a relatively ancient and obsolete system, and are mostly deconstructed. But this one hasn't been touched. At least not recently.

It is un-powered, and nothing else. Scans show that it has no FTL batteries, a resource that hasn't existed for a very long time. Normal power will not work, it needs the jumpstart for its Aether Rift Generators.

The removal was deliberate. The gate doesn't point to any known systems, but trying to 'aim' FTL based on its manual settings would be useless. While FTL is down, the Gate is worth powering with analog power (Reactors) to try to access nav coordinates.

A fleet of 3 HDC frigates arrive at the gate. They are only a small scouting party, with very heavy backup ready to jump in in case of an emergency or if the signal is blocked in some way. The 3 frigates are all of 120 meters length with extended reactors and a small hangar module.
With them, a deconstruction ship arrives. It is made to disassemble all kind of structures, alien or human, without many problems and can analyze the way a ship is constructed and take material probes

The Heavy Frigate UNSC Picket FFG-384 exists Slipspace a safe distance from the gate. Accompanied by a Crux-Class Sub Prowler for logistical support and additional reconnaissance the two ships monitor the gate. The frigate deploys a couple of its spy drones to get a closer look at the gate.

The Pickets missile tubes are re-keyed and armed. The ship is armed to the teeth with a multitude of other weapons at its disposal. From the fore of the ship, between its two struts sits the ships fighter and dropship hangar. It readies it’s two interceptors incase they need to be deployed rapidly.

3 small corvettes and a Science Vessel enter the system and start moving towards the station.
