Decades ago, in another system of a galaxy far far away

--

The light of the M-class star shines upon the superstructure of an immense ship. It is comprised of a large cylindrical construct, upon which six repurposed troop transports are connected via large pylons and metal prongs. Its particle shields glow dimly in the bright sunlight.

Upon its command bridge

[Commissar] Is all ready?

[Commodore] The Event Horizon is fully prepared.

[Commissar] Initiate jump course to the preset galaxy. Then the crew will enter hypersleep. The journey will be long, we must ensure the survival of the crew.

[Commissar] We will bring light where there has only been darkness.

[Commissar] For the Imperium. For the Empire. For the Unity.

[Commodore] The Emperor protects. The Unity protects.

Some time later

[ISS Event Horizon] Deployment status green.

[Naval Station Validusia] Your exit route is cleared. There are no hostiles from here until your destination. Farewell, traveller.

[ISS Event Horizon] Onwards into the darkness we go.

The ISS Event Horizon finishes calibrating its systems, before its bulk jumps into Hyperspace. Soon the crew enters their hypersleep chambers and prepare for the decade-long transition between their home galaxy and their target.

(I will insert the ship into the RP when the time is adequate. For now, just some background info. And context: Hyperspace is fast enough that a ship can cross a galaxy in a month. So 10 years mean it's a long way.)
