Secret Aneph Base, Mars

''Once again, the thin sussurating atmosphere of Mars bears witness to a new ship near Olympus Mons. A secret, ultra-hidden set of hangar doors in the caldera have opened up as a new ship rises through them. The third of four Io-class vessels has been completed and is rising from the womb. A small eruption on the flank of the great martian volcano', triggered by the ANF to prevent any big eruptions that could potentially damage the shipyard,' pours ash into the sky as liquid fire rolls down the gentle slope of the mountain. The new ship is obscure as it rises through the red tinted sky and then the thin ash cloud to the stars above. In the vaccuum of space, the new vessel passes its trials and warps to Aneph on Earth, where it is christened ANF Sullust. The Sullust then joins its sisters, Io and Mustafar, over the AIF homeland. Meanwhile in the secret martian shipyard, the last ship sits in its gantries as workers scurry about, attaching miscellaneous panels held up by cranes. The fourth ship is alone, its three sisters' cradles sitting empty beside it. However.... the cradles of the first two are already being dismantled, and the third, now vacant, as well as the fourth, will eventually be dismantled too to make way for another class of ships, a series of swift spaceborne supercarriers with capabilities unseen and unimagined by any other navy before or since.''
