-Ceres-

An AIF battlegroup consisting of 20 Vigilant class frigates, 30 Swiftsurf class corvettes, and four Guardian of Hope class battleships led by the Sword of Justice exits warp at Ceres. The fleet is there to both assist in recovery if possible, and as part of a "show the flag" mission to keep up Earth's morale. The fleet moves to dock at Jotunheim Station.

AIF officer: "Station control this is the AIF Sword of Justice, we require vectors to station aperture for docking."

Station control: "Affirmative Sword of Justice, providing vectors now. Our scanners seem to be acting up a bit though, they say your ship is eight kilometers long! Could you provide actual dimensions so we can dock you without incident?"

AIF officer: "Station control your scanners are working fine, the Sword is eight kilometers long. Let us know when were in tractor beam range."

The ship approaches the station on the given vector, and is told to hold short.

Station control: "Sword of Justice, you'll need to wait a few minuets while we shuffle the ships inside to make room for you."

AIF officer: "Understood station control, we are coming to a dead stop relative to you."

After a few minuets, during which several UAC warships are shuffled out to make room, the ship is tractored in to a docking port. Behind the ship, more UAC ships are shuffled back in, and the new arrangement will require a 20 minuet wait for other ships to be cleared before departure. This is because station control prioritized getting UAC ships out to respond first, given that the new arrival belongs to another fleet.
