USS Seleya / USS Dublin - 10410.10

Host SM-Lyon says:
"Debt of Honor - The Beginning of the End" - Part 3

Host SM-Lyon says:
SUMMARY: The Seleya, along with the Nighthawk, her wing ships, the three ships that were supposed to be with the Scimitar, plus 8 Coobla fighters and 5 support ships are surrounded by 13 Nacandarian ships.

Host SM-Lyon says:
The shuttle Chameleon has got LtCmdr. Jackson and Ens. G'Dar from the Nighthawk, ready to zoom off to go rescue the President, while Ens. Whittiker in the Komodo, the Chameleon's sister shuttle, will take their place.

Host SM-Lyon says:
The USS Vesuvius with her wing ships are en route, so is the USS Dublin and her taskforce ships... 40 minutes out.

Host SM-Lyon says:
We join the crews just as the Komodo launches from the Seleya, to take the Chameleon's place.
