In the 3 decades that Phenixica has held space in the Milky Way they finally were making a serious push to enforce Phenixican rule. They had recently discovered a system which they named Augusta. It was a dying system with a bloated red giant and nothing by asteroids all around. But there was the Remanents of a world now nothing but a dying mass of rock which was on the outside of this mess of s system.
The main goal before the contructon of a Fortress System is realizing that these forts also act as schools. This is a place that soldiers have to be able to keep there skills sharp and that ships can practice. The arrival of the 900 ships in the system would freak out passers by to see the military buildup. Some of the ships started hovering over the planet and they were carrying a giant Bio-Dome and the first capsules were being put together in space to create a spce station capable of docking about 250 ships at one time.
Fortress Systems were used purely as a place for a local army to be stationed during peacetime. The idea is that if a problem arises the Empire knew where it's ships were located and where to send them. It was also a base of operations in wartime against a enemy. The message was going out.
The Phenixican had not only arrived, but they were starting to plan something big.
