“Lord Riomini’s six battle groups had been knocked off the iperion path, many of the vessels dislodged from their docking clamps. Thousands had been killed in the turmoil. Explosions continued to ripple through the hub station, while power surges shut down life-support systems. Sudden decompression had caused automatic isolation of whole sectors of the complex. Stringline traffic throughout the Crown Jewel worlds was shut down, with ships en route unable to reach Sonjeera. Commerce reeled. Heavi...ly traveled routes were blocked. Fortunately, Riomini’s six battle groups had not yet left the system, so the ships were able to limp home under their own engine power, while the large and empty hauler frameworks plodded back at much slower speeds. It was total chaos. Lord Riomini took the better part of a day to return to Sonjeera, where he presented himself, disheveled and agitated, to the Council Hall as ordered. His uniform was rumpled and torn, even the black trousers were ripped on one side.MoreLessRead More Read Less
