"SIR!"
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START-->
A young console operator from Danoz shouted to the Crown Prince, his face half covered by the explosions from the 2 SDs just destroyed by the Rogue Empire.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->
"Our Marines report that in most of the ships, massive levels of radiation are being recorded. A short signal was detected going into the system, but it was only received by a few since mostly their systems were shut down."
"Which have been affected?"
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START-->
Dutifully the ConOp brought up a holoprojection. All of the IDTech ships were a passive yellow, signifying their disability, but some were glowing, obviously showing the drastic increase in radiation.
The two Galleons drifting towards the Rogue Empire were glowing slightly. Also a Star Destroyer, along with 3 Galleons were glowing.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->
"Emperor Fearsons will be most displeased to see his gifts have been damaged...
Are they operable?"
"Yes sir. Not to organic life forms, but droids could operate them at a massively reduced capacity."
"Are they able to be restored?"
"We beleive so sir. We can keep the levels down by deactivation the core to the barest minimum, and if we can get them into drydock, although it would take weeks, we could fix those cores."
"Excellent Ensign. Return to your post and issue the orders. Have droids dispatched to the ships, and have our Marines put on their standard NBC suits.
Are the ships secured?"
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START-->
A Tactical officer stepped forward to answer.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->
"Yes sir. All ships are secured except for 2 Galleons that were drifting towards the Rogue Empire 'floatilla'."
"Are the new Hapan Fleet vessels making way?"
"Just sir. Our 6 new Galleons are making way, our specialists have checked over the entirity of the ships, and have shown no more traps and failsafes have been overrode. The 5 Imperial Class are also making headway, although at glacial speeds. They have also been stabilised, but the Radiation leak is reaching critical levels on one... It remains serviceable, but will take a long time to return to Hapes for repairs.
But in all sir, things are under complete control."
"Excellent, dispatch more repair crews with full NPC kits to the ships, and have engineer crews sent to control them, along with any Astromech droids we can spare. Have our fighters return and Gravity Wells shut down. Secure the Fleet, and send our thanks to the Yevethans and Rogue Imperials. Congratulate them on their stirling destruction of that Galleon as well!"

With a nod, the massive operation began. Hyperspace tugs, brought to save damaged Hapan ships, quickly adapted to use. A few men were sick due to the initial exposure to radiation, but all in all, the operation was a success. It took an hour for the damaged ships to enter hyperspace with help from the tugs, albeit at a small speed.
Remains of the Fleet stayed in orbit around Danoz, to secure the system, and hundreds of millions of people sang to the skies to praise the final freedom of Danoz...
One of the Ships that remained had Crown Prince Darksword on board. Returning the hail, Dakkon awaited the Yevethan response, and pondered what this was about...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->
