A new beginning

The projects had been many months in the making, and while initially not every party that knew about it approved, they were eventually left in the dark. A small deception, an omission of truth if anything, allowed the GRG to continue their project with the Legacy of Orillion cell for the Order.
Now that the GRG had upheld their end of the bargain and provided the Legacy with an Aquilon carrier the time had come for them to get their compensation; a newly built Reshef class cruiser of Order design. While in negotiations some concessions had been done regarding the sensors that would be onboard the vessel, the state of the vessel was still state of the art compared to the its Sirian counterparts.
Secrecy and stealth were paramount in getting the vessel out of Order territory without being detected by vessels belonging to the Order Overwatch, even Order vessels belonging to other cells were likely to report their findings which would cause irreparable damage to the relations between the two Order factions, not to mention the repercussions it would have on the GRG.
After much planning it was decided that the Reshef would officially go out on ‘patrol’ on behalf of the Legacy, only to be lost in the nomad infested clouds of the Omicron Chi system. The system was long suspected to contain a Nomad Hive, though no conclusive evidence was ever found. It would not be unrealistic that a sole cruiser could be overwhelmed and taken down by the Alien menace.
The plan went off without a hitch, the cruiser arrived in the system and while there were definitely Nomads present there was no significant strike force or battlegroup equipped to take on a capital vessel. In the cover of the clouds the GRG boarded the vessel and were handed control of it.

The Legacy agents onboard were provided passage back into more familiar and hospitable territory such as Corinth Research Station in the Omicron Kappa system. The Reshef itself however was, for the time being, unable to return. Arriving at Livadia Shipyard with an Order cruiser would no doubt cause Velvet to alert the Order Overwatch, as such improvements and repairs would have to be made in space for now.
The GRG, not one to waste the chance to turn a problem into an opportunity, seized the chance to start preliminary survey scans on planet Vanuatu and its moon Malekula. The moon in particular seemed of great interest.
For now the Reshef hides in the safety of the Tafea cloud, occasionally approaching the planet and moon when it requires more indepth scans.
