help 'the saber fleet'
--- The Saber Fleet ---

   Backstory

Seventy nine years ago, pirates rule the space lanes. Armadas of pirate vessels

plagued the shipping lanes, eventually leading to a period of economic turmoil.

In order to counter this the Galactic Senate, led by Chancellor Tes of Ord

Mantell, commissioned the creation of the Saber Fleet. A new breed of vessels,

the Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser, was commissioned. The Saber Fleet made use

of advanced autopilot subsystems to defend systems against pirates (these

subsystems have since become standard on all capital ships). Saber Fleet was

designed to be completely automated or nearly so. The Dreadnaughts featured

heavy weaponry greater than any other capital ship at the time. Rounding out

the fleet was several support freighters and a compliment of starfighters. Upon

its maiden voyage, the central battlegroup computer tying the fleet together

suffered a massive malfunction. The warships vanished into hyperspace, never to

be seen again. The overwhelming failure of the project lead to the Dreadnaughts

and Saber Fleet projects being scrapped.

 

   The Game

Seven shards of the Navigation Chart to the Saber Fleet's location have been

scattered throughout the galaxy over the years. In order to defragment the

navigation chart and determine the Fleet's location, an organization must place

four shards in the proper room for 24 hours. The Saber Fleet is large enough

and powerful enough to have a major impact on galactic affairs, and is

extremely capable.
