Pvuk-Yur
Beta Quadrant
The pirates had come in numbers that no one in the area had anticipated, the Neo-Terran Federation had been capable of colonization for less then a few decades. They had no experience waging war in space or even on the land of other planets then the home system. The colony was guarded by a single capital ship, converted from a baseline colonization model. As the enemy ships made their way towards the planet that was nestled so close to it's tiny star, Salvation-2 opened fire with it's forward facing rail-gun. The shot sped forward at a speed greater then firearms could muster, only much faster as their was very little matter to slow it down. The sensors of the capital ship could see so far out, that their range moved to the edge of the solar-system almost. A large piece of depleted uranium, banned for any other use in war; slammed against the target with the force of a massive hydrogen bomb. The outer-hull buckled and then shattered like glass, faster then the human eye could even blink. The remaining, smaller pirate vessels moved toward Pvuk-Yur; knowing that the forward facing gun couldn't hit such small targets. The battle went on for twenty more minutes, during which they learned that the hull of the Salvation-2 was much thicker then they thought.
Shrapnel filled the space of the system, being a danger to all life in it till some planet or star sucked it in. After some time, the nuclear engine of the lead enemy ship went off in a flash of light. The energy went off and triggered a series of oxygen-dense asteroids to go off as well, causing a chain reaction. The debris impacted the jump-gate into the system, orbiting just barely in the systems center of gravity. The gate-switched on and pulled at something, tugging at the universe. Salvation-2, warmed up it's guns again and stayed on high alert; ready for whatever might come from the other side of the jump-gate.
