crew later attached itself to one of the surviving Coalition cities. The sub was unarmed as it had no missiles aboard and they had no way of manufacturing more, but they did later acquire a few missiles of an earlier generation. Until Ra’a’zani came. The crew of the CS Lord formed the Coalition Resistance and went into hiding. It was they who found out that a part of Sedna city survived and made it their base.
The other ace has been Jacob’s trump card since he discovered it. A stealth ship, more of a shuttle really, capable of flying in the atmosphere and in space. That was the reason his part of the Resistance was the only one that had any presence in space. The shuttle was small, capable of carrying ten people at most. His people found it abandoned in a forgotten League base, it’s purpose unknown. It was an unimaginable asset that allowed them to have a presence in the asteroid belt, as it was undetectable by the Ra’a’zani. Any data concerning it and its systems has been destroyed before Jacob’s people found it. And other than a few personal datapads that had vague references to its systems, they had to figure out everything on their own. And they had few if any people that could even begin to understand the technology behind it, that’s why Jacob used it rarely and with great care for fear of losing it to a simple malfunction that they had no idea how to fix. Another fear Jacob had was because the shuttle had no means of defending itself. The design was clearly made in a way that assumed weapons, with room left open for such a purpose, but when they discovered the shuttle it had none installed. Jacob assumed that whatever happened that caused the shuttle to be forgotten happened before it was completely finished. He believed that it was created as a part of a top secret military project, as he didn’t know about it even though at the time he was highly placed in the government.
But now Jacob felt more comfortable with risking it. With the help of the Olympus Ai Jacob’s people managed to figure out most of its systems. According to Asumy – the Ai, the shuttle’s technology was derived from more than sixty year old Olympus technology. Of course it was far more advanced now than what Olympus had then, the League scientists that worked on it improved and adapted the technology in amazing ways. The most impressive one being the shuttle’s drive. It was based on Olympus artificial gravity technology. Or it used that technology as a starting point. The shuttle was proof that the League made amazing breakthroughs during the war. According to Asumy the shuttle’s drive generated a gravity field that exerted a force on already present gravity fields using them to move the shuttle. It didn’t emit any heat or light, and it didn’t emit anything easily detectable. Jacob knew that it was one of his greatest weapons. He even had Asumy send all the data concerning it to Olympus.
Now with Asumy and Olympus ships on their way, Earth had a chance of getting its freedom back. With the fabricators Asumy provided they could rearm the Lord, and maybe even arm Jacob’s shuttle. They had about a year to plan and set things into motion, and then finally strike back against the enemy.

Dakar Vit’r’an watched over his subordinates as they worked. It was a part of his daily routine, his people needed to see him, lest they forget who was in charge.
“Dakar, one of our patrols has detected ships entering the system.” One of Vit’r’an’s subordinates said.
“When?” Vit’r’an asked.
“They sent the information immediately, so it was seven seka ago.”
“They will be sending follow up information soon.” Vit’r’an said, the light speed was still a limitation with the communications inside a system, they could send communications to another system using comm drones that moved faster than light, but inside a system they were limited. The patrol ship would be
