A Star Gate was a massive structure in space. If planets were close enough, even the lifeforms on them could see this artificial construct through reflected light within the star system.
Since it was wartime and this route was especially important, the transport fleet carried an enormous number of engineering robots. These robots had all been treated with Pym Particles and shrunk hundreds of times for easier transport, though their actual scale was immense.
Though the nature of these particles was almost impossible to investigate, they were extremely useful and greatly accelerated construction.
If they reached Rigel successfully, construction would likely be completed in about a week.
Destination set. The route was expected to pass through 14 Jump Points, with a Warp Speed travel distance of 42 light-years. Because the fleet included Civilian Ships incapable of Warp Speed travel, the assisted FTL protocol would be activated for this voyage. According to fleet movement protocol, barring any accidents during the voyage, the control system would operate through the Flagship. The first Jump Point was 37 light-years away. The warp engines were about to activate. All personnel, please prepare.
Under the control of Oyin and the shipborne ALs, the enormous fleet was unified. With the Enterprise at its core, it enveloped the transport fleet across the vastness of space.
Warp engines required Gravity Iridium, a controlled material unavailable on Civilian Ships, so other methods were needed to help them move.
The fleet was arranged from large to small, from the inside out. Once the formation stabilized, a strange energy fluctuation rippled through the fleet. Purple energy radiated from the Enterprise, linking with every vessel and binding them together in an Energy Net.
This turned the entire fleet into a single whole. The warp engines would operate at a unified frequency,
