The Aurorian Fleet

You make your way down the crowded streets to the shipyard, and stop to ask a fellow trader where you can find Trenork. He points to Dock 54-A. You thank him and sure enough you see Trenork talking to some Federates by the docking station. He spots you and waves you over. Grinning slightly you jog over. Trenork pats you on the back and introduces you to his Federation buddies.
Tension builds in your shoulders. You were born and raised in Levo, a small independent planet who doesn't exactly favor the Federation's expeditions.
A Fed lieutenant reaches out to shake your hand and introduces himself as Lieutenant Veeox.
''I heard you're buying a shuttle from this fine gentleman. No offense, but all a shuttle's good for is target practice.'' The other officers laugh. You feel your hand clenching up wanting to deck him and wipe that smug smile off his face.
