   It is a huge drain on the ship's energy and sending a narrow band translight pulse required dropping out of stealth.

   In 2669 a Confederation solar shadow ring station in the Trafalgar System observed a jump point formation inside

		+	Wonder Chicken:
		+	During the first few months, the first Terran attacks were by raider units.
		+	One of the four Lexington-class carriers destroyed in the Battle of Terra
		+	was deemed salvageable and had been modified into a self-sustaining raider.
		+	This ship, christened the Lexington, and the Confederation's majority of their
		+	escort carriers were pooled together to act as the vanguard for the next
		+	Confederation war strategy. Familiar with the success of the escort carrier
		+	a few years past, ConFed High Command finally pooled the CVE raider units in
		+	their own major command, the 19th Battle Fleet. Under the command of Admiral
		+	Price Hancock, these raider ships were delegated into Recon-in-Force guerilla
		+	units and were sent independently of the front line to attack rear-echelon
		+	facilities and other secondary logistical resources. But unlike a few years
		+	past, these behind-the-lines strike missions were stopped cold. The Kilrathi
		+	were waiting for the CVEs with their reserve Snakier II-class carriers and
		+	their new class of Dubav-class light carriers. These Kilrathi forces well
		+	outnumbered the CVE forces, and many Recon-In-Force units never reported back
		+	to HQ.
