UAC Hammerfell, Augustus-class Battleship, in orbit near Ceres

The Hammerfell is an Augustus''-class battleship, the 5th ship of this class to be built. As such, it is considered old, for a navy which can mass produce hundreds of flying warships. However, due to its schedule, and partly due to the laziness of the commander, it is quite unmaintenanced for a while. That's why it's no wonder that a light flashed in the bridge. This light is bad, for it means that there is something wrong in the machinery.''

UAC Captain: The sublight drive warning is beeping. Send three repair crews there immediately.

UAC Officer: Yes, sir. Team 12, Team 16, Team 29, fetch your repair tools, you'll be repairing the engine.

''Then another light flashed. This time, it is the warp drive that is malfunctioning.''

UAC Captain: And there goes the warp drive. Send request for help; I think we might be stranded here.

UAC Officer: Sending trans--

''Then suddenly, the light for the transmission antenna beeped, and the light for the sublight engine and the warp drive glowed red. There is only one meaning of this...''

UAC Captain: Damn--

''Suddenly, the whole ship was rocked by an explosion. The lights flashed, and then turned off. Moments later, the backup generator switched on, and the lights turned on again.''

UAC Captain: Damage report, officer. Now!

UAC Officer: The sublight engine has failed and exploded. It is salvageable, but is heavily damaged from the explosion. As for the warp drive, it is--what the hell? It's goddamn powering up.

UAC Captain: AI, turn off the warp drive and focus its power on the backup generator.

''Much to the anger of the captain, the AI didn't work. The captain smashed the controls, now angered.''

UAC Captain: Great. Are the escape pods still working?

UAC Officer: Most of them.

UAC Captain: Good. I want everyone to evacuate. Also, try sending another transmission to Ceres, this ship might need some repairing.

''A few minutes later, all the escape pods were ejected from the ship, including the captain. They watched as the ship's warp drive activated, towards Earth.''

''As it neared Earth, it zoomed in into a continent: Gallia. The AI, by this time, suddenly rebooted itself, and started working again. But it's useless, because there were no people inside the ship. By this time, the warp drive has stopped working, sending the ship into a freefall course for Gallia.''

UAC AI: Engaging Protocol number something, activating forward thrusters to slow down speed and prepare for impact.

Uxbridge AFB, Southern Gallia

''Uxbridge: the location of the most prestigious college in Gallia. Here, scientists and aspiring scientists research various technologies for Gallia. This is also the location where several important breakthroughs in Science were discovered. That's why it is also heavily protected, with an Air Base nearby. Then suddenly, everything there was disturbed, as a ship flew directly to the mountain; its forward thrusters activated. Then, there was a loud crash.''

Gallian Commander: We've received reports of a crashed ship on the mountain. Dispatch salvage crews, investigation teams, and maybe a few researchers on it.

Surprisingly, the Hammerfell'' is in quite a good condition, for a ship that crashed head-on into a mountain. The sublight engine is destroyed, and the warp drive is damaged, almost to the point it is unsalvageable. A few hours later, various teams were swarming the ship, investigating the ship, while researchers took a look at the various equipment, all damaged or destroyed on the impact. While the top secret UAC technology are destroyed or unsalvageable, the ship itself is mostly intact, its hull only receiving a bit of damage, with the most damage concentrated where the sublight engine used to be, and the front of the ship which collided with the face of the mountain; and its weapons mostly intact.''
