====Divining the Fleet ====
FFSF Accuser, Flagship's Bridge
Lagrange Point 5
Dieron, Draconis Combine
March 2nd, 3031
Fleet Commander MacBeth sat in his chair taking in the view. The operation to go to planet side was about to start, once the dropships started going down the gravity well, he decided to separated his fleet. The Harber Task Force consisting of the FFSF Adamant, a Volga Class Transport with her fighters. Escorting the Transport is the FFSF Hammer, the Sovetskii Soyuz Heavy Cruiser with her own fighters along with two Gaajian System Patrol Boats will be task to find the missing enemy fleet that slip passed the Davion and Lyran fleet. 
The order was given, all dropships were detached from their transports then slowly started to make their way down to the ground. The FFSF Accuser's Attack Wing made their way down with the dropships to provide cover but the Draconis Combine did not offer any resistance in the atmosphere. All the allies’ dropships landed without issues; all beachhead LZ were secure within the hour. The Harber Task Force then rolled out of orbit and made their way pass the second moon called Nebulos. 
Their destination was the Cornu’s Belt, plenty of hiding spots for a fleet needing to regroup. Fleet Commander MacBeth decided to send the Niles Task Force consisting of three capital ships and four patrol boats to the outer most planet, a gas giant with fifteen moons rumors of a spaceport on one of the moons was too hard to ignore. Even splitting up the Federation fleet into three he still felt comfortable especially since the Davion and Lyran fleet were nearby in orbit around the first moon of Dieron. Plus, the fleet they had to leave behind several months ago should be arriving next month.
General Chapman had informed him an hour ago that a new ally would be showing up within a few weeks with their own fleet. So, in his mind the space area of operations was secure.
