-Arcadia, AIF Home Islands-

A special event was happening in the city of Arcadia. The Sword of Justice had been moved to a position for unveiling and commissioning, and the usual pomp and ceremony was being given for the new warship. Overhead, the two Nova class battleships hover in escort position, and the three Pinnacle of Light class battleships were preparing to warp in after the unveiling to be paraded with the new ship. At the appointed time, Fleet Admiral David Hodston steps up to the podium.

Hodston: "Today, we are here to witness the next marvel of AIF engineering and military might. And, with our fleet growing larger, we may begin to become complacent, falsely feeling secure behind our mighty warships. So, before we unveil our new vessel, let me remind you all of where we came from, and where this ship came from."

"Back when the AIF was first formed, we were quite weak. We had only small surface warships, and no aerospace fleet to speak of. We were attacked time and again, and even with a small aerospace fleet, we could not hold our own. Prometheus came, and decimated our homes, and drove us from our land. Many of our allies turned on us in our weakened state, and took what land remained. With the help of our few remaining allies, we managed to reclaim our land, and slowly rebuild.

When that happened, I vowed to never let the AIF be trodden on again. We recovered our economy, and built a new, more capable aerospace fleet. Among the early projects started, and one of the latest to come to fruition, is the Sword of Justice which I present to you now."

The massive 8km long Sword of Justice then decloaks with the two Novas flanking her, looking small by comparison. The Pinnacle of Light class battleships warp in, and the fleet begins to move off in a parade formation. As the ships slowly move off, Admiral Jared Zumwalt steps up to the podium:

OOC: You wanted to be at the commissioning Zumwalt?
