Roland rolled over, letting his sister take a turn on the viewpiece. Staring up at the

night sky, he fancied he could see tiny moving lights, the same lights he'd just been

watching close-up through their new telescope. He heard Simone draw her breath

slightly, and grinned, understanding the awe that the sight caused.

!hat's enough, kid. "ive it back# He grabbed the viewpiece back from his littlesister. $n the tiny screen he could see the orbital shipyards around the %hobos

industrial facility, and the mighty battleship being constructed there. Hundreds of tiny

shuttles and men and women in environmental suits flitted around the vessel as it

drifted there, held insider a great skeletal cage which provided power and

infrastructure for the workers.

!he &calibur was the first of its kind. ( new, class )$$$ battleship, she boasted

forward and aft pulse cannons and the newest torpedo technology. !wo shield

generators provided enough power to repel almost any Spartan attack, and herenormous antimatter engines were capable of *!+- - over ,// times light speed.

0n top of all that, she ran the newest eperimental &1S-2 control computer system

from 3ooke 3onstruction Systems, which were said to improve battle response times

by over 24, and the latest &SH-5 sensor arrays, finely tuned to improve targeting

accuracy.

6'you think we'll ever get to see it7 Simone asked.

$ will# Roland passed back the viewpiece. 0ne day $'ll be captain of that ship.

8ou'll see#

Simone giggled. Her older brother was a dreamer. He talked ceaselessly about joining

the 9avy, graduating the (cademy, and being stationed on a great starship. She hoped

it happened for him one day.

Roland# !heir uncle's call from the habitat sounded urgent. !hey were in the

arboretum, looking up through the dome into 1ars' reddish night sky. Roland

clambered to his feet as his uncle appeared in the doorway, a transmission slip in his

hand.

Roland - it's here#

Simone jumped# Roland had taken off like a rocket, racing towards his uncle. He

snatched the slip and stared at it, almost fearfully, afraid to open it. !he outer seal

featured a single sentence in clear military font.

Naval Academy Application Acceptance.

that shield generators had to be sacrificed. *our forward cluster high-impact torpedo launchers can deliver adevaastating alpha-strike, making the Rapide a fearsome mobile artillery emplacement, although its slow speed and

maneuverability mean that it needs to be supported well.

!he S- destroyer, nicknamed Sord o! "en#eance$ was a line of military vessels constructed by the Spartans inresponse to a perceived threat from the powerful 9avy Endeavour class cruisers. Slightly smaller, the S-

nevertheless packs an enormous punch with fore and aft cluster missile batteries and disruptor beams. (s is typicalfor the species, the interior is somewhat KspartanL in nature; for a Spartan crew this does not present a disadvantage,
