Season 3 Episode 15: Eridani Visitors

The Eridani Defense Force sends and unannounced fleet to visit Wormhole Station.

“Admiral?”

Admiral Stennis pressed a button on her desk, and the officer of the watch appeared on her console screen.

“Yes, Commander?”

“An Eridani fleet is arriving through the wormhole and urgently demanding to speak with you. They insist that they have no immediate hostile intent, but would regard any courier ship attempting to jump out of the area, especially through the wormhole, as a hostile act until after their discussion with you is concluded.”

She looked at her console and saw the hyperdrive signatures of a light cruiser flanked by a pair of battlecruisers and picketed by nine destroyers. One of the destroyers had taken up position just outside the hazard zone of the wormhole. The others were in a missile defense formation covering both the front and rear of their fleet.
