Okay just a few notes, this is a backstory for the Thundersdawn Verse by Chaos Eternus, so for those who want the entire story, or just a good read, the authors profile and story list is here www . without the space (fanfiction doesn't seem to let me post hyperlinks :S)

Also, this IS my first full attempt at story writing, so be honest on how it goes and I'll take it from there.

Prologue

Orbit above Alpha Prime

Captain Davis of the Royal Space Service, formerly of the Royal Australian Navy starred out of one of the numerous windows of his ship, the shadows of the world below him masked the metallic grey armour of thehis ship, first of the British Prometheus class cruisers, from the trading with the SGC, but even after all the paper work, acquiring the rights for the design, which the RSS have already had for nearly 5 years, it was them that built the ship, and indeed modified into the class Prometheus II. His ship was on a mission much similar to its name sake, to explore the mysteries of a new territory, in hopes of finding a new land for his people to expand their reaches in this hostile galaxy, his ship was known as the Endeavour.

Ever since the discovery of the hyper-barrier, the RSS and SGC continued to explore the insides of the sphere in hopes of finding the gem inside, the Ancient fleet that engaged in a war over one thousand years ago. However, his ship fresh out of dry-docks was sent on a mission that the Tau'ri alliance had put on hold for a multiple of reasons, mainly lack of ships. A Dauntless Class as surprisingly not appropriate, giving its speed advantage over the other classes of vessels available, for they needed a ship that could serve as a multi-functional explorer, and given the multiple research labs, medical bay and launch bay, a Prometheus was decided.

However the SGC's ships except for one were either on defensive duties or helping in the search of the ancient fleet, his ship was decided to take this mission as a shakedown cruise. Davis thought back to when he was just a mere patrol vessel captain, with the highest priority to merely prevent Illegal immigrants entering his nations borders, all in all an extremely boring job. But that changed 2 and a half years ago.

Skeptical at first of course, when he was offered the job, but then again anyone would be, wormholes? Hyperspace? He was the captain of a naval frigate not a theoretical physicist. But after being teleported from ST Athan to another planets orbit no less, his mind was definitely open to change. First he began simulations at ST Athans training facilities, before giving an actual experience as the XO Prometheus, under Captain Pendergast for the basic 8 months training period, as well as an additional 2 as the ships captain when Pendergast was on long-term shore leave when his wife gave labor. But most of the duty was served to patrol the Sol System, when the hyperdrives of the Prometheus class vessels failed. But when the construction of the RSS08 was announced, Davis was offered the command.

That was over a year ago, luckily a small part of his original crew had also been transferred to the RSS, and were all ready to be moved onto the cruiser class.

However, being in charge of a ship that would make his ANZAC class look like a canoe in comparison, was now forced to patrol the out lying systems and evaluate them for further colonization. He currently resided in the Alpha Centauri system, if he was shocked but the amount of influence the SGC and RSS had in the Sol system, he was flabbergasted by what he saw in Alpha Centauri. Two colonized worlds, both with alien humans as well as his own kind, ships of all description flying by at over 50,000 km per second, it was almost too much for ones mind.

There his ship was to gather the escorts of 8 F-302 class medium attack fighters and begin his search in the 40 Eridani system, then onto Sirius, Tau Ceti, and finally Wolf 359 before heading back to Thundersdawn. In the mean time, he had a jump to make.

"Ensign Veers engage hyperdrive to the Eridani System, maximum speed, I want to see what this thing can do on full burn." He ordered

The young ensign grinned "Aye sir, engaging at max speed."

The purple vortex of hyperspace came into view, as the Endeavour was sucked into the maelstrom, and the swirling blue distortions within.
