It was a good day in the Vatarian orbital shipyards. An old Lunar Class Cruiser had been restored to full fighting condition and equipped with state of the art equipment. The orbital dockworkers watched proudly as the new vessel, christened "Hammer of Absolution", maneuvered itself away from its former docking port, and out in the direction of space. The ship looked proud with its new green and white paint coloration.
From inside the bridge, Captain Darius ordered the ship prepare it's warp drives for full acceleration toward the planet Arrakia. The ship was assigned to the Vatarian 8th Battlegroup, which was currently assigned to the Harkonnen system to act security for the units operating on the ground. The duty may not be glorious, but it was an important part of the war being fought. His helmsman turned toward him to deliver a report. "We're cleared for warp, Captain." Excellent, our part of the war begins here. "Take us out, number one."
"Aye Aye sir."
Captain Darius sat in his command chair as he felt the vibrations go throughout the ship; signifying that they had entered the perilous warp. The Hammer of Absolution was on its way to it's first deployment.
As they arrived back in realspace, Captain Darius sent a single of transmission to the men on the ground. "Hammer of Absolution is on station."
