The Anaxes Victory-class Star Destroyer, the "ADF Glorious" emerged from hyperspace, flanked by the Nebulon B-class Frigate "ADF Formidable" it exited at the rendezvous point, establishing a picket with the not inconsiderable number of fighters which the two vessels shared between them (48 of the New TIE Fighters) in order to render them able to act defensively for the two capital ships if necessary.

Ordan stood at the bridge of the Glorious, dressed in the black uniform of an Anaxes Admiral, his Vjun tunic glittering with no less than six aurodium buttons as he took a comfortable seat on the upper gantry and sipped a glass of brandy to give himself an appetite. Alongside Ordan were a few other representatives and notables from the Azure Sector who had decided to come along to play at war with him.

At the rear of the rear of the bridge, a small band played gently, strumming a gentle rendition of the Anaxes planetary Anthem to set the mood for the occasion. The Formidable glided gently across the viewports of the bridge of the Glorious, to much applause and pride from all present.

The 60 Double Turbolaser turrets studding his vessels hull powered up individually and in groups, performing final pre-battle checks before it would have to engage. Every one of the scores of torpedo tubes was loaded and prepared for battle, nothing was being left to chance.

The Vjunite Contingent was not lead by Oriel himself, but rather by a junior member of Parliament who had some experience as an Anti-Piracy Captain in the Imperial Navy, the Modified Consular-class ship exited hyperspace, flanked by the Gozanti-class and 6 Z-95 Headhunters from the Vjunite Navy. The Z-95s requested docking permission aboard the ADF "Formidable" as their pilots were undoubtedly tired out from the long flight and wishing to stretch their legs a little before going into combat.

Under Anaxes TIE escort they did so, landing for around half an hour to allow them to refuel and have all their systems checked by the Anaxes technicians before returning to their fighters and moving into a holding pattern with the Consular-class opposite the Victory-class which dwarfed the Vjunite Corvette and its escorts. The Gozanti-class moved around the battlegroup as a whole, adding itself to the picket in order to provide defences if need be.

Druckenwell's fleet dropped out not long after that of Vjun, joining the other two fleets in space. The first to arrive was the flag, the DSF Rising Storm. Druckenwell's present Sky Marshal, Anton Rolf, was on its bridge, dressed simply in a completely black uniform broken only by the bars of rank on his shoulders. Looking over the assembled group, he nodded to himself. Perhaps Druckenwell had committed heavily, but there were other reason he had brought so many vessels at the behest of Senator Ryuun, primarily to keep the peace between Anaxes and other parties.

As Rolf waited, the DSF Sureshot, one of Druckenwell's Carrack-class cruisers emerged, sporting five TIE fighters on carrying racks. The Sureshot moved to take up a position to the right and below the Rising Storm, which had moved to far left of the Vjunite Consular-class. The last three ships jumped in as one group. The EF76 Nebulon-B frigate Tornado and the pair of Arquitens light cruisers, Tide and Hurricane, joined the formation below the pair of ships that had arrived first. The Tornado proceeded to release both of its TIE squadrons for test maneuvers as Rolf contacted the Vjun and Anaxes forces.

"Gentlemen, Druckenwell has arrived. I should inform you of a slightly recent development as Senator Ryuun wished me to do. Sluis Van wished to prove itself and Senator Ryuun was good enough to allow them the option to do so. As such, we should be expecting a few Sluissi craft to aid us. They have agreed to fall under my command for the purposes of this blockade to prevent issues."

Rear Admiral Shiss Vaas was eager to arrive at the meeting grounds. It would be the first real battle-test of the Class 1000 cruiser Hrssh, an action he was looking forward to. Sluis Van had not wished to send overmuch, and as such, the only accompanying craft were a pair of Law-class patrol craft, a single IPV-1 patrol craft (designated Alpha 1) and the EF76 Nebulon-B frigate Sthss. At their current rate, they were under four minutes from the rendezvous point where, ideally, they would proceed to Aeeq.

As the Sluissi vessels arrived, Sky Marshal Rolf gave them their orders of battle as they closed into position. Volus had not acquiesced to the demands made of it yet; instead, trying to tie things up in bureaucratic knots. The Sky Marshal had received word from Senator Ryuun that the blockade would have to go ahead as scheduled. Rolf opened a comm to the other vessels.

"Gentlemen and leaders, Druckenwell and Sluis Van are about to move forward with the opening elements of the blockade. Have you received any guidance?"
