Interlude
--------------------------------------------------------
Slowly the large Willsberg class dreadnought Fearless made its way through jump space, five even larger Ithacus class freighters following her.
It was the time of the Dilgar War and the five Ithacus were carrying manufacturing equipment for a forward base of the Terran Union, while the large Willsberg just happened to go the same way after undergoing a refit.
Fearless had participated in a good number of battles in the cause of the war and had needed the refit after taking several hits from a Dilgar Sekhmet heavy cruiser. Her systems were up to date and she was ready to get back into the war.
But she would never get to her intended destination as one single member of Fearless' crew members had other plans.
Multiple shuttles detached from the large dreadnought before they latched at the surface of the freighters. Several minutes nothing happened. Than the six Terran vessels left their course, leaving the jump space beacon network, traversing deeper into the unknown depth of jump space.

The man on the bridge of Fearless smiled as he looked into the swirly red space surrounding the ship, his ship. He had needed years to perfect his plan and finally put it into action, the five Ithacus were only the icing on his personal cake they would give him the industrial capability he needed.
A side glance went towards the holographic screen that currently showed the face of a nondescript man.
"We have secured the ships, sir. Everything is proceeding according to your plans."
"Excellent. The crews are imprisoned?"
"Yes, sir. All have been put into their quarters and we cut all communication channels between the quarters."
The man on the Fearless nodded.
"You may proceed with the release of the drugs and the brainwashing. We are going to need the crews for the future."
"Yes, sir."
With that the connection was cut and the man nodded to himself. Than he flickered out of existence as he shut down his hologram.
The AI known as Tarkin had great plans for the future.
