The two warships remained locked in a standoff in the void when the Phoenix's Shipborne Optical Computer suddenly locked onto the Bright Phoenix and transmitted a special authorization command password.

There were fifteen flagships in total, all products of the Observer Civilization's creation of the Bright Phoenix. Their sole purpose was to activate the Spacetime Source Core fragments carried within their hulls, distribute themselves throughout the Eighth Parallel World, and maintain
