Chapter 34 - The Cardassian Nedar-class Gunship (Patreon)

“General, your Eminence, I apologize for interrupting your meal, but our sensors have detected six Cardassian Nedar-class gunships, traveling at high speed, approaching the Island. Their weapons are armed and they are not replying to my hails,” Hermione informed us.

“Interesting,” the General responded with a quiet sigh, but he seemed otherwise unconcerned, like he had expected something like this to happen. While he seemed unconcerned, several people around us who had overheard Hermione’s report were now looking out to the water with fear and trepidation, but seemed to be reassured by the General’s calm and unconcerned reaction to the news. Though she tried to spot them, she saw nothing, the gunships likely too far out to yet see. She, on the other hand, was very troubled at the Circle’s escalation in the violence and what it meant for her people's future. This escalation was truly unprovoked. “The Resistance and later the Militia only had three captured Nedar gunships in their possession after the Occupation. I wonder where they got the rest of them?”
