The hull of the newly stocked Battlecruiser gleams in the sunlight revealing the name of the ship: "USS Intrepid Rev. 2" After a recent battle with the Zerg in sector 3, the first USS Intrepid was destroyed after widthstanding 3 fleets of mutalisks. The Captain and all its crew were destroyed in a massive explosion.
This revision has been enhanced; plated with kelvin armor it is able to actually repell the acidy irrosion of the Devourer, an incredible invention. Shields have also been incorperated in this new version of the battlecruiser, increasing it's defensive capabilities.
"We're ready to ingage into hyperspace," says the Ensign. "Shall I engage?"
"Yes, I'm ready to test out this amazing new ship," responds Captain Shawl. The ship turns, creating an omniscent glow from the sun behind it. A low humming sound is heard building up and the ship propells into the abyss of space.
Captain Shawl eagerly grips the sides of his chair, waiting to arrive test station. "Sir," says the Ensign, "Station 447 is... gone."
"What?" asks Captain Shawl, "What do you mean?"
"Sir, the station has disapeered. I'm reading debris all around the -- wait... 6 objects are moving extremely fast towards our position." says the Ensign, anxiously, "They are scourges!"
"Shields up! Engage hyperspace back to Station 315 now!" shouts the Captain.
The ship's gravitational thrusters force the ship back around and the same humming is heard again, building up. But the ship isn't fast enough and 3 scourges ram directly into the shield, causing massive explosions.
The crew in the bridge fly out of their chairs as the shield absorbs the damage. "Hyperspace, NOW!" shouts the Captain.
"I'm trying, it won't engage until the path is ---" 2 more scourges ram directly into the shield, which fail. The ensign screams as she is thrown into the wall of the bridge and passes out.
"Shields are down!" shouts a Lutenient from his station, "We've sustained massive damage to the dorsal engines and hyper drive is damaged, but still functional." He types in a few commands and the ship engages, catapulting out of the battle.
"What happened to the 6th scourge? They come in packs of 2, so where is it?" asks the Captain.
"I'm looking for it..." the Lutenient continues to type commands into the computer, "Found it... it's on the... oh no..."
The scourge explodes on the right wing of the battlecruiser, knocking it out of hyperspace. "I've lost control!" shouts the Lutenient, "I can't keep her steady for very long!"
Captain Shawl thinks for a moment, "Backward thrusters, stop this ship at whatever the cost."
Th Lutenient reacts within a milisecond, engaging the thrusters. The ship comes to an unhealthy stop, forcing everyone forward. "Casualties?" asks the Captain.
"Readings coming in now... 38 dead, 78 wounded. The medical staff is going to have their hands full." responds the Lutenient.
Captain Shawl looks out of the viewscreen into the black abyss and notices no stars. "Where are we?" asks the Captain.
"We are... nowhere. The scanners are saying we are off the charted map as of now. That one explosion was enough to force us lightyears away from our destination..." Lutenient Miffuny stares out into the black wondering what awaits them.
"I think we're safe for now, the Scourge were only scouts and didn't have enough time to send a message back to the overmind." A second lutenient says.
"I want you to go to engineering and help with the repairs, I want hyperspace accessible as soon as possible." says the Captain, leaving the bridge.
"Yes sir," responds the lutenient.
The ship remains, sparking, in the lightless black of space. No stars can be seen anywhere. What wonders await the Intrepid upon this new and undiscovered territory? Who knows? Read the next segment to find out!

Pfft, this is kind of the teaser for it. I was just really bored after playing some star craft >.
