Chapter 1

A loud sound comes over the tannoy "All colonists to your chambers, blast off ETA 10 minutes."

The Hispania was a behemoth of a Sleeper Ship, it was using a blockade runner succesfully trialed in combat against the Coalition. Standing in its docking gantry it stood roughly 1 mile high, as all of Earth's Spanish settlers were destined to board it. Being the Tacops officer for the ship, i knew it held about 50 point-defense plasma turrets, 3 main ion cannons, 2 fighter bays and full-length ramming shields.

I ran up to the gantry base to the elevator that would take me all the way to the bridge at the fore of the ship. It was my job to make sure that we made it past the Coalition blockade. My Captain, Samuel Pacardo, was standing beside me. "Now Dimitri, don't be nervous, it's only a few hundred ships against the 5 of us."

Sounds nice. Would like to know what happens next.

Dont mean to cramp down on you but, why is their a russian tactical officer on a spanish ship, i didnt play starlancer, but i belive the russians were with the coalition, but sounds kool tho, i like it. keep it up.
