Over the world of Quermia....

The fleet of six vessels dropped from hyperspace, and immediatly began disgorging squadrons of starfighters. The fleet consisted of two sturdy Victory class star destroyers, two Escort type carriers, one auxiliary class carrier, and an Interdictor class cruiser. The fleet all looked to be of older vessels, except for the escort carrier and auxiliary carrier, which where newer vessels. All the ships carried the I.D. of the Troiken federation, along with names the goverment of that world had given them. If identity checks were made on exhaust signatures, and were looked up, it would reveal that the six vessels were leased to the Troiken federation, until that goverment could round up enough cash and credits to buy the vessels entirely. The very purpose of this raid was to fufill that purpose, a hit on shipping that hoped to collect enough raw materiel to pay for the purchase of the vessels. The auxiliary carrier was of a new class, the Shinano class Fleet Support Carrier, and it would see it's first taste of combat today. The Interdictor cruiser powered up it's gravity wells, trapping all vessels within the system. Next, fighters were dispatched from the destroyer and carrier, forming up into wingpairs and heading out to engage the local shipping, which turned out to be quite fruitful in the area. The Troikan warships fanned out, seeking to engage any nearby enemies that might try to stop them.
