UECS Defender of Hope (DDK-2778)

One week after the arrival of the Defender in this new universe, it has finally finished enough repairs to make a FTL jump to Remnant.

Captain: Navigation, plot course for the shattered moon. FTL jump, max safe speed.

Navigation: Copy that sir. Course plotted. FTL spinning up.

Captain: Jump when ready.

Navigation: Jumping....now.

The Defender then disappeared, reaching speeds beyond that of light. However, it still took them 4 days to reach their destination. The ship was damaged so they could not go at max speed, otherwise they would risk ripping the ship in half.

4 days after FTL jump

On Remnant, all was normal. It was almost the middle of the night and most people where asleep. But not one man, a man sitting in a tall tower. He felt something arrive at Remnant, but what it was, he did not know.

In the skies over Vale, an aircraft flew by. This aircraft went unnoticed by any of the inhabitants of the city, and it was unseen by any detection systems.

Recon 1-1: Command this is Recon 1-1, City near LZ does not show any military installations. City does show massive castle-like structure inside walls, over.

Comms: Copy that 1-1, proceed to other population centers. Keep stealth mode active. Engage only if fired at, over.

Recon 1-1: Roger command, moving to next population center, over.

The aircraft turn away from the city of Vale, climbing to an altitude of nearly 15,000 meters and beginning to super-cruise at Mach 1.5.

Back in Vale, the man in the tower felt something familiar fly over the city, but he could not place where the feeling was from. He could not see the aircraft, he didn't even know it was there. But he felt something familiar, something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Meanwhile on a different continent, the unknown aircraft was flying over the last population center.

Recon 1-1: Command this is 1-1, last population center has 2 cities. One flying about 6000 meters in the sky, second on the surface. Surface city has signs of poor maintenance, flying one has only military installations spotted on planet, over.

Comms: Roger 1-1, get closer to the flying one. Figure out military installation strength, retreat if fired on. Engage only if absolutely necessary; over.

Recon 1-1: Copy command, moving to investigate. Activating cloaking systems, initiating radio silence, over and out.

As the aircraft flew through the defenses of the flying city, it noted that the airships in the sky had what seemed to be energy weapons as well as kinetics. This wouldn't be much of a problem.

Meanwhile on the flying city, no one even heard the aircraft fly directly over them. While running in both stealth and cloaked mode, the aircraft was invisible completely and had silent engines. Even still, with the tech that this city had the pilot expected to be noticed somewhat, which is why they activated the cloak. But the defenses of the city never even detected it at all.
