SWRPF Archive Voyage into the unknown

Story:

The Algernon, A recently completed Mon Calamari Cruiser, picked up a strange energy signature on the edge of the Daca system as Comander Hael Thorenx did a system check of the newly designed sensor array, designed to be able to pick up the slight heat signature given off by bio-mechanical ships, turning his chair to look at the output screen he flicked on the ship wide communications. ?This is Hael, all hands to their stations we have a report of a strange energy signature on the systems edge we will be going to investigate.? With this announcement all the crew ran to their stations to await further instructions and the Algernon pulled away at maximum thrust, the ships computer beeped and showed that an estimated 10 minutes travel time was required, '10 minutes' Hael thought 'that would put it just on the edge of the Hyperspace disturbance'.

As the Algernon Slowed the sensors went into overdrive and the ship got rocked by gunfire, as the first energy bolt hit the ship it's red alert went off. The fight lasted about 5 minutes as the Algernon fought off the unknown enemies ships before becoming overwhelmed Hael could tell the end was near so he turned to his communications officer ?Quick send the information we have collected to the base at Iceberg 4 they must know about this? The officer started to send off the information as a strange elongated projectile hit the ships communications array and exploded in a brilliant blue light vaporising the ship.

On Iceberg 4:
Inside a small research facility the small crew of night workers got a signal from the Algenon all that was contained was a set of co-ordinates and the strange energy signature that was picked up. After the crew awoke the base commander they came to the consensus that they must send a small team to investigate and are currently asking for people to head out in the ship Sleipnir a modified Deep Water-class star ship.
