After several days of travel, the expeditionary fleet finally reached a quiet star system at the edge of the territory controlled by the Empire of the Lost.
Since this region was situated close to the border that led straight into dwarf territory, the Lost refrained from settling in the nearby star systems.
After all, who wanted to live right next door to a bunch of hateful dwarves? Even if the property prices were rock bottom, the Lost would have to be coerced in order to get them to live so close to a threat that still haunted their nightmares to this day!
As a result, there were lots of barren and even abandoned star systems which only hosted a large amount of automated listening posts and platforms.
When the fleet settled down after transitioning out of FTL travel, the Blinding Banshee immediately went to work and began to employ her formidable sensor arrays to sweep the surrounding spaces.
