“In a sudden, flaring storm of photons, the star carrier America dropped from the emptiness of Alcubierre metaspace and into the reality of stars and worlds and radiant light. Ahead, just 30 astronomical units distant, 40 Eridani A gleamed in the distance, a type K-1 orange beacon, while much farther off, B and C, the other two stars of the system, showed as a close pair, ruby-red and diamond-white. The Constitution and the Saratoga both had emerged from Alcubierre warp already just a few mi...llion kilometers ahead, and were already deploying their fighter wings. The destroyers Sandoval and Young were in the van, well out front, while the railgun cruiser Decatur drifted ten million kilometers to starboard. As Gray watched from America’s Flag Bridge, other ships dropped out of Alcubierre Drive moment by passing moment: the Russian Slava and Plamennyy, the North Indian Shiva and her escort Ranvir, the USNA heavy cruisers Calgary and Maine. The domed overhead of the flag bridge had been set to display the surrounding sky, with incoming ships picked out as green icons.MoreLessRead More Read Less
