En Route to Wheeler Colony, the crew of the Independence aboard the USS Hammond encounter a Tzenkethi battle cruiser! During a skirmish with the cruiser, one of four FA-150s aboard the Hammond was lost when it crash landed in the lower shuttle bay. The Hammond suffered minimal losses in the fight and eventually forced the Tzenkethi to stand down. Repairs are currently underway on the shuttle bay as the ship continues on its way to Wheeler Colony.
