Fleet Captain Rothil leaned back in his chair with an audible huff. He had done it. Though he regretted that the bulk of the excitement was over, he marveled at the shape in which the ordeal had left him. He sat panting for several seconds in the command chair, savoring his victory, before being prompted for his next order.

"Ready the warheads," he said gruffly, wiping beads of sweat from his brow.

As the launching mechanisms churned beneath several decks beneath him, Rothil attempted to process what had occurred during the battle, and considered his next moves. All over the fleet, similar operations were underway, remotely controlled by the flagship's on-board computer. He was startled out of his reverie by the computer's low and guttural voice, "Firing sequence initiated, authorization required."

Rothil snarled bitterly. He had thought his government had gone beyond the rules and regulations of old, why had they kept this useless, good-for-nothing precaution?

"This is Fleed Captain Rothil of the New Corporate Krikan Union, authorization code six-eight-four-J-one-delta-delta. The use of weapons of mass destruction is now authorized," he muttered moodily.

"Primary authorization code recognized," responded the computer after a short pause, "Secondary authorization code required."

Rothil's first officer rose from his seat and monotonously dictated his code.

"Secondary authorization code accepted, awaiting tertiary code."

There was a pause where no one spoke.

"Well, Felix," Rothil finally said, turning to his second officer with some amount of amusement, "Have you forgotten your--..." His words stopped as he saw the young man's face. It was as white as a sheet. "What's the matter, Lieutenant?" Rothil said in no gentle tones.

The young man's wide eyes darted to the Fleet Captain. Upon making eye contact with him, he made a visible effort to master himself and formulate the words that were required of him. Though his mouth moved uncertainly, he could not say them through his quivering lips.

"Lieutenant," Rothil hissed dangerously, "The fleet is waiting."

"I--I can't do it, sir--Sir, I'm sorry, I can't--Don't look at me like that!"

The young man practically shrieked as Rothil's face contorted into a vicious snarl, "You call yourself an officer on my bridge?!"

The Lieutenant retreated further into his chair, close to losing control of himself, "I'm sorry sir--I can't... I can't do it..."

There was a deadly silence as the two stared at one another from opposite ends of the bridge. By law, Rothil could dismiss Felix and replace him with another officer. However, this incident was costing the Fleet Captain some precious minutes, something he had not been very quick to forgive in the past. The air seemed to thicken as the crew glanced between the two men, some sympathetic to the accused, some mentally berating him for his weakness, and others fearful of what would happen next.

Finally, Rothil's voice broke the silence. "Come here," he said in a surprisingly sedate manner.

Trembling, Felix rose from his chair and took a few cautious steps towards the overpowering man, stopping a safe distance away from him, awaiting his sentence like a prisoner before a jury.

"Lieutenant Felix Erilai, you are hereby relieved from duty, active immediately. Give me your sidearm."

It was custom for a discharged officer to return his weapons to his commanding officer. Awash with feelings of relief, Felix reached down and fumbled with the strap of his holster until he finally managed to extricate from it the weapon he had been issued at the beginning of his career. This he feebly held outstretched to the Fleet Captain.

Rothil took the weapon in his hands and examined it, running a finger over the inscription on its stock that ran, "Felix Erilai, 2789." With a rapidity that astounded the rest of the crew, Rothil raised the weapon to its defunct owner's head and pulled the trigger.

A headless corpse fell at his feet to the horror of everyone present. "Lieutenant Serida, you are hereby promoted to second officer."

Hammer-class Mk.2
Hammer-class Mk.2= One of the Coalition's first unmanned craft, the Hammer-class frigate Mk.2 was a vastly improved version of the Hammer-class. The original frigate was extremely limited when it came to the amount of antimatter it could safely charge into its torpedoes. The traditional design, to have the torpedo bays at the center of the ship, made the transport of antimatter in large quantities from the nacelles a dangerous, costly, and inefficient affair. Furthermore, if something went wrong during that transaction, the ship had little in terms of fail-safe mechanisms and would likely explode. The fact that no crew quarters or life sustaining systems were required also made things easier in terms of space, allowing more charges to be safely stored. To remedy these problems, Quaranian engineers moved the torpedo bays to the sides of the ship, closer to the nacelles and away from the main body of the ship. A new series of much more reliable antimatter conduits were installed, allowing the ship to deliver larger loads without fear of overloading its systems. In the event that something did go wrong despite these improvements, the torpedo bays themselves were made ejectable.
