Captain Tanka was looking out across space. The Fallowed Ground stood 25K out from the Osaka facility in Honshu. While Captain Tanka was a smart captain, she did not like being this far from Kagoshima. Taishi Barak had order the AFA's flagship to Honshu. Apparently hostilities were brewing between Samura and the GMG, and the Taishi want to be ready if the hostilities spilled over into the Honshu system. The Rage's orders where to protect Samura's Osaka facility. Tanka was still hoping Barak would be able to defuse the situation in a diplomatic manner.
