Since the destruction of Fleet Support Vessel
Julius Caesar, Fleet Command has transferred to the new flagship, Heavy Strike Vessel
Alexander, that leads the breakneck hunt for Typhon. The war-torn battle group has been further diminished as the battle of Hypnos takes its toll.
Rapid Strike Vessel
Tutankhamen exploded from engine failure. Medical Support Ship
Eratosthenes had to stop completely as its engines failed just inside the orbits of Janus 1 and 2.
The strangest fate of all is that of the Medium Strike Vessel
Damocles, that suddenly increased speed and left the battle group behind. When hailed, the damaged warship did not respond at first, and then transmitted a powerful but garbled digital code signal. Contact with MSV
Damocles was then lost.
