The Mammoth Cargp Dropships slowed in formation as they approached Federated Boeing. The dropships bore a symbol of an anvil wrapped in what at first looked like a blurred brown serpent.

At New Syrtis, a similar process was beginning, only the tooling being assembled was not final assembly frames-it was a core-forge, and it wasn't the only one being put together by the Lyran firm in the Federated suns' space, as JumpShips laden with cargo arrived over Filtvelt, and began unloading the equipment to turn that world's outer system into another shipyard.
