Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2403.5:

Comet V has been launched towards Syned VI, a huge airlless ball of rock. Seeker II entered the Klozar system, another uninhabited system with a few partially colonizable planets. They picked up strange emissions from Klozar VII, an otherwise unremarkable world. Captain Stran will head for the nearest unexplored hyperconduit leading out from Klozar before returning to Syned.

We have designed the Fyrine class population transports to move people from the capital to the colonies. They were built on a modified corvette hull and have a cargo capacity of 300 kt.* The new model cargo bays were also used on another design, the Black Sword micro-carrier. These modified corvettes have two laser cannon and may carry up to twenty-six TIE fighters, organized into two oversize squadrons. Now that our relations with the Yakrin are in decline, we will need a proper war fleet and the Black Swords will form its backbone.

Commodore Telar is already organizing our sector's First Carrier Wing, to be raised on Gesaril. The spaceyard on Gesaril V will build two Fyrine transports, then two Black Swords. The Fyrines have no weapons, but we can use them as troop transports if necessary.

And now we must organize our sector's final combat arm: Stormtroopers.

* - Star Wars cargo bays are less efficient than their SEIV counterparts.
