Warstrider: Jackers (Warstrider Series, book Three)
“—Hector, in The Iliad Homer ca. 800 B.C.E.
Space surrounding New America seemed crowded with ships. True, even a vessel as large as a Ryu dragonship was tiny to vanishing insignificance compared to the volume of space through which it orbited, but the IFF and communications code signals flashing across Dev's visual download gave the impression of ships, big and little, jostling one another for slots in low planetary orbit.
Donryu and the five largest cruisers were clustered in a tight, defensiv...e group alongside Highport, orbiting some three hundred kilometers up. Most of the light stuff, corvettes like the Tosshin, and a few frigates, had been dispersed across a defensive, three-dimensional perimeter some forty AUs out. Complete coverage of such a vast area was impossible, of course, but they could keep watch for the neutrino bursts marking incoming starships, and they could report anomalies to Donryu.
The rest of Ohka Squadron, the light cruisers and destroyers, had scattered about New America in separate, world-hugging orbits.MoreLess
