((Thanks to Supreme Commander Marix for his clarification on the sizes and names. Just trying to fill in my Military background.))
It was 1300 Zulu time, or rather the Standard set by Coruscant. Marius Decimus Trent Praxeum was meditating onboard his Venator, after spending the past year training under Prophet Odin. He had been ordered to take time off, to fill it however he saw best fitting his training.
He was notified of the call by Duece, who then proceeded to project the Holo in front of him. An Imperial Officer appeared, Lieutenant by his shoulder markings. "Admiral Praxeum. Your services are required by the Supreme Commander, as per Military Personnel Authority Code #2214576. In your discharge, you agreed with the Supreme Commander to answer the call of duty should he require it to be so. What is your reply, sir?"
"I reply with Code #2214576-Alpha."
"You must meet us here." at which point Duece beeped an affirmative to the transmission of coordinates. "What is your craft, sir?"
"Venator-Class Star Destroyer."
"Thank you, sir." And with a salute, the officer fizzled out, leaving Duece and Marius alone once more.
"Well then. Looks like we have more work to do on vacation than we did working." Pressing a button in his quarters, "Bridge, Admiral. Prepare to jump to hyperspace. Have the hangar go to Status Charlie. I will be up shortly with our destination." Status Charlie was the 3rd highest Combat Readiness Status, out of the 6 (Foxtrot, Echo, Delta, Charlie, Bravo, and Alpha) with Foxtrot being the lowest readiness state and Alpha being the War Time readiness status. Status Charlie meant the launch time of 1 minute from order for a Flight Group of fighters (6 craft), with the ability for others to follow 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes after. Foxtrot Status kept a Flight Element (wingpair) of two fighters at the one minute mark, with the rest of the Flight Group (4 fighters a Flight) in the 5 minute mark. Alpha Status kept an Fighter Group (36 craft - 3 Squadrons) ready to launch on the 1 minute mark, and Flight Groups on the 5 minute marks.
2200 Zulu Time
The Venator arrived from hyperspace at the given coordinates, its turbolasers ready to fire and a screen of fighters ready to launch, should the message prove to be a trap. Marius had raised the Status to Bravo when they neared the end of the hyperspace journey. When they arrived, 2 Squadrons were launched and were tracked by the guns on the other Star Destroyers that floated.
After the Comm Centers of the Guardian and Marius' Venator had cleared things up. The one Squadron was recalled, while the other began patrol duty around the craft, joined by a Squadron from the much large Guardian.
"So he brought the Lord Vader. Glad to see that ship being used again. Vader was the pinnacle of a warrior and commander."
At that point he was hailed officially by the Supreme Commander and was ordered onto a shuttle to join Lord Marix and the other Sith that would be joining them. _________________
