-Undisclosed Shipyard, AIF Home Islands-

A cloaked Vgilance class frigate speeds above the AIF Home Islands, en route to a secret shipyard. Aboard is fleet admiral Hodston, who is returning from Ceres by way of this shipyard. The ship passes a medium sized town, built to provide the workforce for the mammoth project inside. The frigate then passes through a small hangar door, and lands to disembark Hodston. He is quickly whisked away from the hangar to the main building dock, a massive cavernous facility 8.5km long, and 1km wide. Inside, is the nearly completed supership, AIF Sword of Justice. Beside her are ten Viglilance class frigates, which look like mice next to the massive warship being built. They are to be an escort and honor guard for the ship. Hodston looks quite pleased with himself, possibly his greatest achievement is about to come to fruitition.

The project to build the Sword of Justice was began not long after the end of the Earth-Prometheus War, when the AIF was still recovering. It was decided that a counter to the PCAV Nightmare was needed, an equally large and equally powerful warship. Thus the town of Swordssmith was built, and workers began on the massive construction bays. Once the construction facilities were built, the prefabricated components began arriving at the shipyard. Concurrently, the then Captain Thomas Bolitho began simulator training with the ship's crew. By now Bolitho was a commodore, and fully ready to captain the Sword of Justice and her escort group to battle...

OOC: working on the base now. I figured that this would be a good backstory, and give plenty of time for the ship to have been built. I'll probably have Swordssmith Shipyard build Novas next.
