"Dravid… this all feels so… amazing!"
"… You're not wrong there, Romayn."
Two youthful humans of Earth could help but look upon their new home with a tinge of happiness and excitement for the future.
The duo were taken in by Esmond and the Space through a global charity organisations that worked with orphaned children and those fallen into the foster home systems without any care or protection.
Most of the children would remain in the Spatial Ark Star World, but once Igdra believed Mars was ready to take residents, a large number of children and their new families moved over.
Dravid and Romayn actually came from the United States of America, specifically the State of Ohio.
Both teenage boys lived in the same orphanage before moving over to the Spatial Ark Star World, and found themselves being adopted by Gerard Blackout, a Fett Clone Trooper.
A great number of Clone Troopers wished to adopt children or have some of their own, and in the case of Gerard, he, and his wife Rina, a Veveliaan woman, adopted Dravid and Romayn as their own.
Eventually the new family moved to Mars, like many others from the Spatial Ark Star World and focused their entire attention on creating a new life on the formerly red planet.
The greenery that stretched out far and wide in all directions was mindboggling to see for those who'd learnt previously that Mars was practically dead to inhabit any sort of life.
Yet every morning Dravid and Romayn went jogging with their father in the morning, they would hear birds chirping, the sound of crickets and other bugs roaming around with birds in the sky, roaming around freely without a care in the world.
The peacefulness and serenity could only be matched by the Spatial Ark Star World and its vastness.
For Dravid and Romayn, they found themselves atop a hill as they overlooked the new city being constructed by Construction Drones and Androids at the blistering speed.
It was already possible to utilise the Hyper-train network that used a monorail set up across the city, but with some adjustments, the transportation network ended up surprising all the new residents of city, Olympia.
They were largely use to the instantaneous movement within the Spatial Ark Star World, so the speed and frequent trains was a delight for many who worried they might be struggling while using the public transport network.
.
"Man…
I really wish Gerard would- Hey!" Dravid complained while rubbing his sore arm that was recently punched by Romayn several times.
"Get it through your thick skull.
He's, our Dad! … even if he's really a Star Wars Clone, which is awesome.
From the moment Dad gave us his last name, Blackout, we became brothers, while Jessica and Gerar- Hey!
Why are you hitting me?!"
"Because you called Dad by his name, jackass!!
MUAHAHA!!" Dravid laughed evilly, while mucking about with Romayn before sprinting down the hill towards home.
Neither was aware that their parents came to join them for a run but decided to not interrupt the boys once they started talking.
Both of them were beaming with happiness after hearing Romayn readily accepting them, which had been their main concern as parents who adopted 15-year-olds.
When they first came to the couple's home in the First City of the Spatial Ark Star World, there was a small period of time where it was difficult to adjust.
But it wasn't long before the boys started following Gerard on the morning runs and went out shopping with Rina.
In the short few weeks, they'd become a family, Gerard started training the two boys to be his eventual successors.
All the Fett Clones wanted to pass on their knowledge to the next generation, just like Mandalorian culture.
Rina also used her natural species ability to pass on body passive skills through her colourful hair strands to the boys, easily giving the two boys a boost above over other children their age who were training with their parents overseeing part of their education.
Of course, there were plenty of schools and academies within the Spatial Ark Star World, but the new Martian Academy built in the city of Olympia became Dravid and Romayn's new school of education and training.
A large number of the educators came from the Necthea Institute to oversee the Martian Academy, but people from the Shadow Intelligence Agency and military forces were also asked to teach.
This included Gerard, who taught piloting and the art of modern warfare to the students.
Rina happened to be the Vice-Principal of the Martian Academy, so the boys often found themselves stuck as role model students for the academy, especially at the weekly Inter-High Sports League.
Dravid captained the soccer team for the Under 16s students, whereas Romayn captained the basketball team.
It all came down to their ability to command and lead the teams due to their rigorous training and extra study set up by Gerard and Rina.
.
The leadership abilities of the two boys quickly came into the purview of Nedric through Vaazakra and Kane, who started to note down future leaders capable of taking up permanent roles within the Spatial Ark Star World.
Even Esmond became aware of the two boys but with his mind presently focused on the Tartarus Zone, especially after the SAT Vocatus, PSS Necthea, and the Bloodied Princess came across their first enemy and true trial of combat.
Those who lived within the Tartarus Zone had to adapt to the rough and dangerous space that could twist and turn at any moment, leading to a wave of destruction for fleets of spaceships.
When the three Starships entered the Tartarus Zone, they immediately came across a pirate fleet that contained several Battleships, Light Carriers, and several dozen Escorts.
Each of the ships were larger and far deadlier than smaller Starships like Destroyers and Frigates, that were considered to be on the lower end of the Starship Classification Scale.
The Starship Classification Scale was organised and initiated by the Galactic Society Council, who had the final say on matters that concerned any resident that fell into their governing area.
They started the scale from Fighter Starships which were similar to fighter jets of Earth but scaled up to a size that allows room for sleeping quarters.
This also included room for extra munitions, but it those types of Fighter Starships were largely bought by lone mercenaries who preferred to work alone.
Fighter Class Starships also had their own sub-class but for most people in the Galactic Society, they deemed the ships nothing more than a starter into galactic space travel.
Corvette Starships were recognised by the community as the first spaceships capable of truly helping their owners in various ways through deep space.
Most people preferred owning starships with enough space to not only house themselves but a crew to help manage its systems and equipment.
Usually, the crew would be required to take on several different roles including pilot, engineer and at times a chef.
It also housed enough space for equipment like Land-speeders and a small lab to help the team if necessary.
Really, any ship could be customised as the owner wished but it depended on the open space of the Corvette Starships.
No larger than 120 metres in length or width, the Corvette Ships required a minimum of 20 crewmen but were able to take on 200, depending on the Starship systems and customised departments.
.
Next came the Frigate Class, which required a minimum of 150 crewmen but in the case of the PSS Necthea, which Carter classified as a Frigate ship because it housed around 400 crewmen, but it could easily take on 1,000.
Because they could reach up to several hundred metres in size, most Frigate Ships had enough space to house Fighters and the ability to dock with Corvettes and other larger ships.
Destroyer Class Ships were designed for warfare on a greater scale, both in space and planet side.
Most forces in the Galactic World would deploy their Destroyer Class Ships to deal with any troubles since they were easier to build and cheaper in the grand scale of operational costs since it could be used to serve planet side and in space.
At times the Destroyer Class Ships could be redeployed as mining ships but most of the time the extra space went towards weapons systems and engines to give them enough speed to be capable in deep space battles.
Because of the wide use of Destroyer Class Ships, their parts were easily found anywhere in space, including plenty of Drydocks for repairs but this all meant you weren't considered to be a threat or powerful individual if you didn't at least have a fleet of Destroyers in your employ.
After Destroyers, Cruiser and Carrier ships were next in line but they varied from Light, Strike, and Battlecruisers and Carriers, with each ship serving their own specific purpose in battle and logistic purposes.
The large Carriers and Cruisers easily could house anywhere from 1,000 crewmen to 10,000 without any issues concerning living area or problems pertaining to food.
Most of the time, Carriers and Cruisers worked together in the space formation while travelling through deep space since they typically carried Mech Robots, which took up a large amount of space within the Starships until Dreadnoughts were created.
Largely created by powerful Empires, Federations and Republics in the Galactic Society, the Dreadnoughts Class Starships required too many crewmen at all times to manage the systems of the ships, that most people wouldn't bother deploying them unless they were heading into battle.
.
In the case of the pirates Esmond came across in the Tartarus Zone on arrival, they brought along Battleships and Warships to lead their attack, since they contained enough punch to be considered just beneath a Dreadnought in fire power.
Only major difference about Battleships and Warships compared to a Dreadnought was the size and weapons systems to aid in combat.
Warships preferred speed and firepower while Battleships liked armour and shielding to keep them safe and alive in the middle of combat.
Seeing the Battleships of the pirates, Esmond told Celeste to prepare the Starships for war, but weirdly, they started to hail the PSS Necthea, SAT Vocatus and the Bloodied Princess.
