MAE's ambition for exploration and colonization of new frontiers cannot be satisfied due to the lack of finances. Tromelin station, however, was developed in such a way so it can be refitted in if needed.
Now, the Board of Directors is going to stop the exploration project and refit station to be a civilian shipyard in the ownership of the corporation. Nevertheless, its current location has no benefits for such a task and thus Tromelin has to be relocated.
Recent success of cooperation with the Interstellar Beacon through a daughter company, the so-called Altair Robotics, who cared for Kerguelen after MAE left Gallia and methods they mentioned in the communication gave MAE engineers a few ideas how to move the station within Brittany system with minimal risk to damage it.
"So, they refused to provide us additional escort?" asked a man suited in the silver uniform of security division. Antoine de Villiers was looking fresh as if he visited one of the best Gallic resorts, even if all that he did was a short trip to Bordeaux surface and a hunt for local wildlife alongside Enclave huntsmen. "However, our security division can handle this. All we need is to call some of the occupied personnel tasked with escorting our transports and replace them with mercenaries for the time being."
"Yes," was a short answer. However, a minute later the man who said this proceeded. "I want to believe no Gaians or Brigands will interfere with this. My men are soon should finish the deliveries and installation of engine modules to the station."
Senior Engineer Truchon stopped to talk and started looking for something in his tablet computer. A few minutes later he smiled and showed the map of the Orkney system with a route of the station moved from its current position and to planet Sanday's orbit.
"It will take about a week, plus-minus a few hours to carefully reach the destination." Jean-Louis looked at Antoine, "Are we ready to sacrifice the safety of our convoy for the said week and let them be under guard of mercenaries who sell their loyalty like whores sell their bodies?"
"Chief! Senior Engineer Truchon!" a medium-aged woman in a reinforced suit pop up to him and saluted. "Kerguelen has entered Brittany, chief."
Everything has been prepared on the same day.
MAE weld up a couple of their armoured transports to the Tromelin's hull as well as a pair of engines taken off Lucullus liners. All together their power shall be enough to move the station to the orbit of planet Sanday, where it will be refitted to become a civilian shipyard and a kind of the main office for the corporation. This maneuver is going to take a week, most of which be spend for stabilization of station's orbit when it reaches the said gas giant.
