==Chapter 12 - The Armada==
Fringes of Clan Space
3167 CE
----
[Other ears heard the warning...]
On the fringes of Clan Space are the Bandit Caste. The outcasts, the unwanted, the perpetual targets grubbing and living hand-to-mouth and hand-on-weapon.
They heard the broadcast through the means such have always learned of events within the Clans.  The rumor mills went mad among them, until a couple of groups went to 'check it out'.
The ones who made it back to their Enclaves, started packing.  The general broadcast from the Sphere-sent Kowloonese ship was passed around from enclave to enclave, group to group.  If they could afford to return the relief effort would be a huge, fat, target.
The returning wasn't going to be an option.
Before Waterpoint Seven was finished, a small fleet of battered Jumpships, overloaded with the unwanted in Clan Space, were on the move down the planned evacuation route.
