The RA stealth carrier quietly reached the edge of Duqaste XI's perimeter.
In order to reduce the probability of detection as much as possible, the ship disabled non-essential systems. From the lighting to the antigrav systems, nothing was allowed to give away any hint of the vessel's presence.
The temperature turned cold. The lack of gravity made navigating through the ship a lot more cumbersome. Everyone had to wear vacuum-sealed suits that also kept them warm, fed and clean.
The carrier's stealth capabilities were impressive, but that was no reason for the mechers to grow complacent. They followed all of the rules and guidelines and acted as cautiously as possible.
