Distress signal!
The Council of the United Galaxy (CUG) has received a signal from the Forces of Order (FO), to help them out in an other galaxy.
They have to protect the galaxy Hibrana against the Forces of Chaos, because they want to turn the galaxy into a chaos galaxy, a place where the laws of physic do not apply
and normal life can't exist.
The FO gave the CUG the technology to jump to that galaxy, by using an enormous jump gate, that uses a sun as energy core. They also gave them a construction plan, that has the information to build a frigate sized ship, that is basically a flying energy source with an energy emitter. The CUG built the ship and now they want to transport it to Hibrana.

Flight officer: We will arrive at the jump gate in 10 minutes and then jump after one minute.

Admiral Aram looked up and said: "Thanks, as you were!"
The Star of Jenind was the fastest carrier that the fleet had, big enough to defend itself, but small enough to not attract attention.
And of course big enough to carry the GOLEM, the mobile generator of the "Forces of Order", a mysterious machine.
After 10 minutes, the carrier arrived 1 km away from the gate.

Admiral Aram: Full speed, we have to get to the gate.

Suddenly an alarm activated, detection alarm.

Admiral Aram: What is going on?

Detection officer: An energy field right in front of us.

Admiral Aram: Stop the engines, full thrust backwards.

A quake went through the ship.

Flight officer: We have stopped.

Detection officer: We are still going towards this thing, wait revision, it is coming towards us.

Flight officer: We are on max power backwards

Detection officer: Behind us, another energy field, only 200 meters away.

Admiral Aram: Damn it, sidestep, right turn.

Detection officer: The fields are turning into a bubble around the ship.

Admiral Aram: What do the fields cause?

Flight officer: We are accelerating with an impossible rate.

Detection officer: Maybe it's the gate, that is transferring us.

Admiral Aram: Maybe, but let's play it safe. Battle stations, alarm phase one.

After 2 hours the Star of Jenind "arrived" and the field disintegrated.

Admiral Aram: Where are we?

Nav. officer: In Hibrana, but nearly 500 lightyears away from the point, that we were supposed to jump to.

Suddenly 100 ships warped in and immediately attacked the carrier.
The shields were on 0% after five seconds and the enemies were reloading their main weapons.

Admiral Aram: Everybody leave the ship, follow the escape scenario Delta.
Officer Keith, take the GOLEM and get out of here and tell the chief officer, that he will fly the jump frigate.


Keith affirmed and ran to the GOLEM, he also called the chief officer and told him, what the admiral said.
He started the GOLEM right after the jump frigate started, and flew with it. Shortly before the frigate jumped, the carrier exploded.

The small "fleet" came out of the jump bubble 5 lightyears away.
Only a few ships survived, but Keith hoped that they would be enough to come to the target location.

A starship's General ARea Defense Integration Anti-spacecraft Network (GARDIAN) consists of anti-missile and anti-fighter laser turrets on the exterior hull. Because these are under computer control, the gunnery control officer needs to do little beyond turn the system on and designate targets as hostile. Since lasers move at light speed, they cannot be dodged by anything moving at subluminal speeds. Unless the beam is aimed poorly, it will always hit its target. In the early stages of a battle, GARDIAN fire is 100% accurate. It is not 100% lethal, but it doesn't have to be. Damaged fighters must break off for repairs.GARDIAN lasers typically operate in infrared frequencies. Shorter frequencies would offer superior stopping power and range, but degradation of focal arrays and mirrors would make them expensive to maintain. Most prefer mechanical reliability over bleeding-edge performance where lives are concerned

A special kind of artillery cannon. Acellerate a group of hadrons [heavy particles] creating a long range "beam" cannon capable of bypassing certain types of shield [Minus kinetic shields] . Can cut any hull in two and is very potent,but is limited to 2 shoots in 24h because the magnetic barrel needs a severe cooldown

The Javelin is an experimental close-assault weapon consisting of paired disruptor torpedo tubes bolted or magnetically "slung" onto the ship's exterior armored hull. The torpedoes are fired on converging trajectories, detonating in a precisely timed sequence that allows the dark energy emitted by their warheads to resonate, magnifying the resulting space-time warp effects and literally shredding the target apart.

The Phase jump drive is a newly created tech and is still a prototype. Basically,this interfere with the usual dark matter in space,creating a "hole" were it can jump. However,the nature of this rifts are still in phase of tests. This grant this ship the hability to jump small distances. There are drawbacks : First,we have to use extense cauculations before a jump,because we have to calculate the position of the planets and matter around the destination[ Cooldown]. Second,the rift is very unstable,being only usable by one ship. Third,this use a particular series of batteries and they need a time to recharge completely before each jump.

By diverting nanomachines the Darkstar is capable of producing an impact shield that manifests as a cloud of nanomachines surrounding the hull of the unit. When even a moderate-intensity energy field is applied to the nano-relays, an energy web forms, which can effectively lessen the impact of ballistics on the hull of the Darkstar. The downside, of course, is that the field takes both power and nanomachine resources required to operate the main cannon hadron cannon, rendering the ship unable to fire it while the field was activated. In addition, the powerful energy field degrades the nano-relays over time, limiting the protection to short bursts to avoid complete collapse of the nanomachine system.
