In the well defended airspace of Vjun, there was a feeling of tension as the alert level was raised after the piratical acts of Volus against a hapless Vjun vessel. The Equestian and Dux, the two larger vessels of the Vjun Grand Armada moved out of their position docked with the space station which commanded Vjun's extensive minefield. They moved into a position in higher orbit, the two Gozanti Cruisers patrolling closer to the hyperspace points would provide them with a greater degree of notice, should any threat appeared. The Vjun Grand Armada began to broadcast an encrypted signal into deep space "ah58 TsGvz yWAduB uMm609b cbL w7p+E7Dqs VZN GMqL7Pu StHuy xqCu0 igyWo3 GyqJ7ywFs, oXH w2n mUFy HxDJo4o pV9kB, hkJqllpKEt5 ni6/ 92oCIDHRrU. swSxH1BhX okw sjBx Rl5nSli+ QfJuYZb78I PoK E7cO/M/ur C2rt ja+sitm6zN 49Z3g lUBheqZ2 KGS JMUR /7Y5v Wb6RRP OwT 0xps G5T623JRm 6iM/ 4KYJs I+lGg 37g jpOZL PDXx6W, dRF x2T0Axo fTH 49l9g AMY hf1VRHL 2zX5u gnClRg5 WaO 94g88l nnOWz F7fv urz2 Iymz2F3j gcJo+."
From Vjun, the three squadrons of the Vjun Grand Armada launched, moving into deep space and joining up with the Equestrian and the Dux, forming a strong core of ships should any raid be ordered by the assembly. The hundreds of mines around Vjun, in addition to the battlestation, stood ready in orbit to repel any treachery which Volus might attempt against them.
