A meeting was now taking place with the Admirals of the Terran Federation and with President Jason Ecks about the situation in the Gaia System. They had lost three fleets and two medical ships to the fight to help their new allies, but now it looks like they had lost and there wasn't much else left to do. The Federation couldn't go on another war, their forces were being taken up with the currelt alien crisis in the Jatno Star System.
"I think I would like to meet with these people, maybe we could negosiate the release of the GLA people. Ready my ship for departure, I'm going to the Gaia system, and alone." Jason ordered.
The Admiral's didn't like the idea of the President of the Federation to go on a dangerous mission with only one ship. But it was want he wanted. He wanted them to know that the Terran Federation doesn't want a war.

Jason Ecks stepped off of the dropship that brought him up to the TSS Defender, a Olympuic Class Battlecarrier. This ship was refitted with more weapons and better shielding then the others. The same refitts were going to happen to every other ship in the Terran Navy, but it would happen to the Defender first.
The ship was ready to leave space dock, its large star drive engines came to live as did the rest of the ship. It slowly left the station under its own power. As it cleared the station, its hyperdrive jump engines came online and with a brigyt flash of blue light, the massive vessel enterd hyperspace and was on its way to the Gaia System.
