Prelude
On October the 29th 2167 the Earth Empire colony on Cromwell, containing Humans and Sarads was unexpectedly destroyed. Four hours later a team from the ESS Nightingale and ESS Tomsk reached the site of the colony, to their surprise the entire colony had not only been destroyed, but with only one strike, as well as the power of the strike being much more powerful than needed, being about 1,000 times more powerful than the meteor which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was still a toxic environment to remain in and even with suits, no person was able to spend more than 3 hours on the planet, this caused concern for the Earth Empire for the next three hours, and the Earth Galactic Force decided to send the two sister ships, Britain Class of ESS Gobi and ESS Sahara to increase the search for the attackers.

Nine and a half hours after the attack long ranged sensors from the ESS Tomsk picked up a ship entering Earth Empire space. After it's detection the mysterious ship altered course to head for Cromwell, as a result all search teams were ordered back and the four ships assumed a defensive posture.
