Envoy and Aorlean
The Envoy tapped his fingers on the table, silent for a minute after the Aorlean had finished speaking. “So,” he said at last, “your planet has quite a history there.

Flight from Kuat
Sabrond had lost track of the battle by the time the “Imperial” reinforcements arrived behind her task force; whatever those rectangular blocks with engines were, they certainly weren’t ships. And while Commander Martins might’ve bragged on and on about their firepower, they already had all the firepower they could possibly need aboard the Derriphan. What they really needed were support ships, and carriers to reinforce fighter screens. The defenses of the Invoker had fallen, and the last she’d heard from Captain Ixeh was the stubborn order that they would never abandon ship, never surrender. Then a series of transmissions between Commander Martins and an unknown Vigilante commander had begun, with Martins seemingly trying to negotiate an armistice. As if that could work. The Vigilantes were trapped, and they knew it; the shipyards blocked them in front, not to mention the massive anti-capital emplacements on the orbital ring itself that shredded any Vigilante ships that entered range, while the Imperial fleet encircled them from the back and front. And so the Vigilantes fought, struck out like a trapped animal with nowhere to go, and they were winning. Several of the pathetic Imperial defenders’ ships had already fallen under Vigilante control or influence; those fools were ready to negotiate their lives and safety for their ships.
