Exodus of Apollo - The last fleet

The Discovery
The Apollo fleet was the last fleet of the Sirian Empire in existence, this was the military fleet of the Sentinel Corporation. Apollo was stationed in a near by star system when the attack took place, aboard the commander, Vesuvius Sentinel, was the last of the High Born Sirians in existence, besides a few of his brothers and sisters who were also commanding a few ships of the fleet. Apollo had returned to Sirius the day after the attack, to find an asteroid field instead of a planet, and smoke instead of golden cities and glistening skylines. Apollo was the last fleet, and the last of all Sirians in existence.

The Last Hope
Apollo quickly started turning to old allies seeking refuge, all denied the refuge of the survivors. In the travels of Apollo from ally to ally, Apollo found the planet Veknahal - Hell's heaven, this planet was volcanic, but housed old Sirian Industrial facilities long abandoned. Vesuvius, and the other leaders of the the fleet decided that Veknahal was the best chance to rebuild the Sirian Empire, and so came the Second Empire.

Vesuvius had assumed control of the Sirian Empire, forming the Verkan fleet under martial law. Vesuvius quickly gathered support even under martial law, he led the Sirians back into the golden age that was a mere memory. In time Vesuvius ordered the full reproduction of Sirius - The Reconstruction, and now with the Verkan and the Apollo fleet, there was a chance.

Unlike The First Empire, the Second Empire was led not by Corporations but by Vesuvius as the Autarch, and with a council of the surviving high borns. This created unparalleled support from the survivors of the Apollo fleet, motivating the survivors to unify and push for survival of the Sirian race.
